Long Remember Some Of
The Reasons
MEREDITH PITCHES TOMORROW
Club Got Worst Of 1t from League
officials and Umplres No Changes
Ia Sight Yet

Slightly disngurod but still IN the
ring"
II might be said that such was the con-
dition Of the Salt Lake baseball team
when It arrived IN Salt Lake this morning
after a tompestuous tour OF the north
west.
The players all looked hale and hearty,
and each ono said tho trip was a pleas
ant one, Several directors OF the club
stated to the News today that they
were well satisfied with the showing the
team made while away, with the excep-
tion Of ono or two features connected
with the trip
Before the team had been here an hour,
there was rumor among the players
that Jimmy Wigs the elongated twlrler
who has been with Salt Lake for two
seasons had been suspended The "News'
was Informed that q letter had been writ
ten 20 Wlggs, informing him that, owing
to his miserable showing In the sunday
games az Butte, and his exhibition Of
Carelessuess on "uthcr occasions he
could consider himself suspended without
pay until such time as he could show
the management II the team that he was
IN condition to play ball as hc should
PLAY" IL is understood that letter to
writing he had not received H.
When the manager Of team was asked
concerning the tumor he neither at-
frmed or denied the story. lie simply had
nothing 10 say.
While the directors say that the team
did well on the trip, some Of them are
very emphatic In their announcement 0f
the treatment accorded 20 the team by
the league umpircs and the president Of
the league. Said one OF the directors this
afternoon.
"Our team simply got the worst OF Il
on every hand. our players were the only
men I'm the league who were fined"
what about Camey2' was asked
"lt Is not absolutely certain that that
fine went through was the reply And
even II II did, he provoked the row and
was only fined S2j while Hansen who
was assaulted, was fined so, aud II was
paid too liausen was fined again and
so was Mpller, Wigs and Meredith. Tho
umpires never lost an opportunity 10 give
us the worst Of H. But the end Is not
yet"
Since the team left Salt Lake three
weeks ago, two new men have been add
and good batter, ana Elmer Meredith,
who has been seen here before lmmo-
diately upon the arrival OF the team to-
day, II went down to the ball park for
here this evening or tomorrow morning.
The first game " the series begins to-
morrow afternoon. After that Butte will
come here for a week, and then Salt Lake
VIII go 10 Spokane and play a series OF
six games there, and the Indians will
come back here for week
BEYOND the suspension Of Wigs no
other changes are contemplated by the
management OF the club at least not
nov But, az has been stated before,
II Is the policy OF the manager 20 see
that Salt Lake Is given the best article
or baseball possible 10 furnish,
In tomorrow's game, Meredith Will
pitch for Salt Lake, and Wright, n form
er National league pitcher, for Boise.
Both twirlors are said TO be In good form,
and their battle ought to be highly inter-
estng TO local fans
