REYNOLDS NOW
OWNS LOCAL CLUB
Has Purchased CARROTS interest
and Good Will.
NAY ENLIST LOCAL CAPITAL
WILL MAKE 1T STRONGEST FL
NANCIAL CLUB IN LEAGUE.

i ne nldIag cement OF the salt Lake base
ball club again changed hands yesterday
and now J. NJ Reynolds has fun control
of the destnies of the Saints Mr.. Rey-
nolds bought out the half interest in the
club owned by w. V. Garrett. after a
weeks parIey, during which time both
gentlemen made Offer to either buy or
sell. The reason for Mr. CARROTS retire
ment from the club. according TO his
own statement, is because the proposition
was not large enough to occupy the at
tcntlOn OF both himself ana Mr.. Reynolds
and the latter wanted fUll control. so
Mr.. CARROTS interest was turned over
to him for exactly the amount Mr. Gar
rett was in on the proposition up 10 date.
There was absolutely no disagreement
whatever between Reynolds and Garrett
n handling the affairs of the club, and
the only reason FOR the movement Is as
stated abOve-that there was not enough
in the proposition 10 occupy the atten-
ton of both men. Mr.. Garrett said last
evening that he would leave today for
Spokane, and after q short stay there
would go TO New York on business other
than baseball
Mr. Reynolds said last evening that
there would not be any radical changes
in the club and that he would go along
in the future in the same manner that
he and Mr.. Garrett had conducted the
affairs of the club in the past BE says
that he is after a couple more players
who VIII. strengthen the team consider
ably and thinks from the present .ndicl-
tions he will have no trouble whatever in
I
landing them. Mr. Reynolds says it Is
his intention to localize the club If pos
si0le Several 9cal baseball enthusiasts
have come &c him and offered 70 put nr
the capital necessary to make salt LAX
one of the strongest clubs in the league
I and in all probability they will be taken
! in. If this is done new club will be
formed which IT. all prob ability viii owl
1 its own grounds by next season, WheI
modern gfandstand and 6aseDaH tlel1
/ will be put in Whether this OrganiZa-
| ton will be formed this year or not Il
not known but Is part Of the plans now
under consideration by Mr.. Reynolds
/ Big Chief Borchers is slated for the
] rubber for the pirates this afternoon
! ROrchers says he will win his game, enc
| so does McClcskey. The big chief mas
won twelve games this year and lost
only five which is a pretty good record
/ Local fans may think the big chief easy
/ from the fact that he did not win :
/ game in this city last year. but if they
I were on % the inside facts of the games
/ BOrchers pitched here last year they
would understand why things happenef
! simply that certain players in lest year s
I team deliberately threw the game every
| time Borchers was pitching winning pan
/ This is known to BOrchers and several
/ others who were on the inside CT matters
and is the real reason why the White
/ Wings did not win more games than they
/ did.
Eddie Quick goes in the box for SAT-
/ Lake today. a strong. arm and gooc
| luck to Eddie. Salt Lake needs today
game to break even with the pirates
4 and Quick is Just the kind of a boy that
] will pitch his head off to win; c.
Pitcher Pfeister, who tw1rled Tor Sar
/ Francisco yesterday, has pitched ter
| games this season and has won every
! one. of them. This was the kind OF 2
man Salt Lake was UP against. and u
was no wonder that they could not hit
/ him.
/ McClOskey says Salt Lake With the team
/ il now has will make a good showing
I for the rest Of the season. Mac believes
more than 50 per cent of the games
! played.
/ Many of the fans who attended yester-
I days and Fridays games are at a loss
| 10 understand why San Francisco mar
/ was given a home run when the ball wen1
! out in the crowd on Friday, and yeSter-
| d2v. when the same thing occurred tol
/ Salt Lake the local team was not giVer
I a run. The reason for this is as follows
/ Through q mistake all around, the play
/ ers and umpire thought a ground ruiz
! had been made allowing a man on Z
/ base to come in home II ball was
+ Grown or hit outside of the low fence
/ shutting the bleacherS off from the play
/ ing grounds For This reason, when the
/ ball was thrown back Of the fence IN
! Fridays game, Umpire Colgan ordered
I home After the game Manager Grin
| informed Umpire COlgan that such
I rule did not have his sanction and would
not be in force in the future. For this
i reason, when 'Tacks' PARROT Knocked
! the ball beyond the fence in right field
/ yesterday he was allowed only the bases
he could make before the ball was fieldec
in.
