LATEST GOSSIP IN BASEBALL
MANAGER MEINEKE LEFT FOR
PARK CITY.
All Clubs Signing Players-Salt Lake
Team Adopts Cream Colored Uni
FORMS

Jack Meineke, manager of the Park
City team, after several delays, left
for the Park yesterday, taking with
him Gierhardt, who will hold down the
rubber for that team this summer.
Meineke has considerable work to do
yet before he will be in position to an
nounce the policy of his club. The first
thing to accomplish will be to effect an
organization similar to the Salt Lake
Baseball association, but as the Park
manager stated before he left that he
had a greater part of the necessary
money subscribed, the rest of the work
will be easy The action of the city
council in leasing him grounds upon
which to build ball park has over
come the greatest difficulty, as there
are few spots in Park City level enough
for ball.
CHppenger stated last evening that
he had signed but four men for his
club, although he has had enough APP
plicatiOns to complete a dozen teams.
Those signed are Bert MargettS, who
Will henceforth be known as Milwaukee
MargettS, as he viii represent that road

signed, and Will be seen on the third
bag for the Railways this year. This
player has quite a reputation as a fast
man in the east, having played one sea
son with the Southern League and an
other with the New York State League.
The latter three players have not as
yet been assigned TO any of the roads

of the Railways, Manager Clippenger
stating that he has not decided upon
the lines to be admitted to his bright
idea"

telloS and Rio Grandes. Manager
Griffin said yesterday that nOtWith-
standing the fact that there were sew

Gamble led the batting list by d goOdly

The Salt Lake club was in receipt of
a letter yesterday from Newmeyer of
| Omaha, saying he would like to come
to this city. Newmeyer pitched thirty
two games for the Omaha team last
year, and made a creditable showing.
His application has been taken under
consideration by the management. Mr..
Griffin says he is in correspondence
with a number of other players, and
hopes to be able to announce the COM
plete makeup of his team before many
days.
All players for the Salt Lake club are

Pitcher prevented from delaying the
game over twenty seconds.
The first rule was adopted last year by
the American league without the formal
fly of putting it in the playing instruc-
tons. All OF the American league catch
ers played close up, and the games We're
materially speeded thereby. So far as the
batting is concerned, the new rule will be
rather detrime1t. A catcher right uT-
der the stick can guide and govern the
pitcher so well that his chance of fool1ng
the batsman is materially improved. Even

at last has clear sailing ahead Of him.
There was some trouble about the loca-
ton selected for the ball grounds at Park
City as It was necessary to secure the
abandonment Of one Of the principal
streets, and the matter was finally
brought before the city council for adj
justment. which very wisely decided that
the welfare Of the mining, town required
a first-class ball team and grounds. and
gave Meineke the right of way to the
street in question. The action taken by
the state university in baseball matters as
published in Yesterdays Herald, has put
new life in the amateur players and
proves that at least one school in the
city will take an active interest in ball.
The fact that they have comm snced active
work on new grounds Will settle one Sc

troubled the various teams. From now
