In5.,audent baseball in Salt Lake re-
essvrd stiff upper cut when the Utah
1dar. league was organized last Sun
cav and DC was given its knockout blow
las. evening. when the representatives
of .ba city school mines met in the Y.
NJ C.. A. parlors and organized an in
ter-eeholastic league. A temporary
orear.zation was effected with Earl
Ga-lauier Of the High school as presi-
o-u- and now both the professional
and amateur ball Of the city viii be
furnished the patrons Of the game on a
league basis.
Asfra meet NJ was not as representa-

tenn. the action that was taken Will
be considered in a fuller nesting TO be
he'd next Wednesday evening. Neither
AL HauJWs college or the salt Lake
Business college were represented at
tn meeting, and they must be conSid-
ergI before any definite action Is taken.
They had sent word, however, that they
vere heartily in favor of the idea and
fhat they would ratify any action that
might be taken for the betterment Of
the sport and the organization of a

fair The other representatives went
right 10 work to arrange schedule
without the Business college nine and
Il was not until everything was fixed
~ that some one suggested that it
would be- doing an injustice to the alb
sent team to leave it out Of the league
championship race. This injustice would
b. accentuated by the fact that the
accountants had sent word that they
wanted to be in.
The principal objection to the admis-
sion of the Business college boys was
that they can only play ball on Satur-
dav and one of the other mines cannot
play ball on that day. So they decided
70 leave the Business college out. The
objection was lodged by the representa-
lives of the l.. ID. 5. team, who say
that several of their number are unable
to play on Saturday.
The schedule arranged was as fol-
lows. March 30. All HallOWs VS.. High
School; April 8. l. d. 5. VS.. L. Of u;

After the meeting was over it was
practically decided among the represen-
tatives 20 let the salt Lake Business
college into the league and to arrange
Saturday games for their benefit. This
was done because of the scathing criti-
Cism of those who were told of the mat
ter, but who had no personal interest
except a desire to see fair play. 1t was
finally conceded by those who opposed
the admission Of the accountants that
Sc would be a decidedly unfair thing tc
bar them, especially as they have one
Of the strongest teams on the diamond
and stand in a good way TO take the
championship.

They can play on Saturday as well as
