talned In the league from the late Salt
Lake and Ogden teams, he said he was
unprepared to say with certainty.
However the Salt Lake players who
have been signed with the league are
Tozer, Byrnes, Cook and Clark. II is
understood that Stovall will be given a
trial and that II he makes good he will
be taken care Of on the Salt Lake team.
The fans say Stoyall is right up to the
handle and good enough for any mans
team. The only ogden player who has
been signed thus far Is Fullmer one OF
the best men In the west The league
wanted Gimin, but the old man pre-
ferred to stay with his position with the
railroad company.

LIVELY STREET PARADE
The street parade, which formed In
front Of the Deseret News building at
9 o'clock this afternoon. was q home
run The procession, consisting OF the
two teams, the local managers, and a
hundred or more enthusiastic fans,
headed by band moved through the
principal streets OF the city, and fol-
lowed by scores of cheering boys
brought baseball more strenuously be-
fore the salt Lake public than any
thing that has happened for a long
time.
A large throng followed the procession
20 the ball grounds In cars, and unless
all signs fail the attendance win be a
record breaker. Even II that is not
the case, there is no one who can say
that today is not the starting point
Of an epoch in the history Of Salt Lake
baseball.
