far as Salt Lake is concerned. the sea-
son has been the greatest in the his
tory Of baseball in the city. There has
been more baseball and a better class

such as to convince the magnates of the
Pacific Northwest that salt Lake IS
baseball town is as good as any { =
them and has made # easy sailing fOr
this city in the. future. Salt Lake fin
ishes at the bottom of the list, but this
is no discredit to the town when il IL
taken into consideration the way the
management Of the team has been Jug
gled from pillar to post since the town
was admitted into the big league. It
is safe to say that a majority Of the
fans are well satisfied with the gen
eral outcome Of the year and viii now
rest easy with the assurance that
there wiz be different story to tell
next season.
There win be two games at Walkers
this afternoon, the first one beginning
at O'Clock. Wigs and Roach are

game.
Umpire Colgau left for home yester-
cay. Colgan lives at Homestead. Ps..
the town that first made RUDE WaddelI
famous and a great center for base
ban players. Colgan has been an UNI
pire for years and has served time in
the big leagues. He was considered
the best umpire on President Lucas
stan by many Of the fans.
Jack Grim umpired yesterdays game
and gave good satisfaction. Grim

Once baseball fan always a base
ball fan seems TO be a true saying. 1t
was thought among the fans here that
Harry Joseph was on the retired list
but according to the Eureka Reporter
Harry must have another managerial

per SAYS. Harry S. Josephs came
out from the capital sunday to look
after his mining interests and incl

the Cleavelands and Blue Rocks Mr..
Josephs says that next season ne
wants TO see a four team mining camp
League in Jt9h-cOmprising the camps
OF Eureka, Mercur. Park City and
Bingham. The mine owners of the
state he says would be willing to hang
up big fat purse or valuable pen
nant to go TO the team winning the
largest number of games during the
series In this way there could be a
good baseball game at each OF the
above camps every other Sunday. The
is certainly worthy of con-
sideratiOn and we trust 1t will be-
come in reality next season. as ii would
mean much for this and the otber
camps"
Here is what Manager Dugdale of the
Seattle team has to say about players
for next season, and also the
reasons for the release of Billy Huien:
NO club can paw the salaries the
minor clubs have paid for an their
men and live through many years"
says Dugdale. we have been carry

men get and next year it VIII be dif-

salaries paid TO any player VIII be
cut down. do not mean by this that
a good man viii not get his money;
but any player demanded "a high SAL

We have been playing good ball ia

have done well. which shows where
the men are Hulen is a good player
but a man must be able Co run his
cUn business or step out That Is the
ieason HuIen was released. We are
stronger than formerly ard all the
men are working together.
The towns that are TO be in the
league next year have not vet been
selected. but President Lucas has
been looking over the field so that
we can make wise selection. He has
visited the towns of Vancouver and
Victoria and VIII be able to report on
them at our next meeting"
Manager Williams of the Spokane
club and Manager Dugdaie OF the Sc

the draft Of Pullman from the Helena (
team. This looks as though there had
been some previous deal between New
