For Not Fighting Negro,

Nis quite evident that w. II. Lucas.
ex.presldent Of the Pacific National
league, and John J. McCloskey, ok
ger OF the Boise team, are really
cup against IT," i'm affairs pertaining
TO baseball.
In recent interview In Butte, Me-
Clcskey stated positively that he did
not care what was done and that he
was out Of the game so FAR as this ter
ritory is concerned Lucas maintain
cd dlgnined silence" we are told
But why2
Lucas and McCloskey were detormln-
Oh 20 dlsrupt the Pacific National
league. The former made the state
ment that Boise had dropped out Of the
league. and that therefor the league
was defunct Then they started out to
organize another league, with Lucas at
the head. Their FIRST move was to &c.
cure franchises from the National as
sociation. Next they tried to force WIZ
mot out OF Butte, and get control OF
the club there. In this they failed. A
meeting was held at Butte at which
Salt Lake, Boise, Butte, Spokane and
Helena were represented. Representa-
tlves from the first named four cities
agreed to maintain the old Organiza-
tlon. Lucas was deposed as president
and a new president, secretary and
treasurer elected. 4 few days later Luz
cas- and McCloskey came to salt Lake,
and the latter gave II out that they
were here for the purpose OF settling
some differences with the local direc
tors. One Of the directors stated TO
the News" that there was nothing 10
settle, and that Lucas and McCloskey
were trying TO get back into the league.
This does not look like the league Is
dead and II these statements are cor.
rect they viii go a long way toward
explaining matters to Farrell OF the
National association. Failing In their
efforts here, they went to Spokane and
tried 10 buy off President Williams Of
the Spokane club, but the latter said
nay, and declared he would stand pat.
SO, after all. the threatened war has
not amounted to much. We viii have
baseball in spite Of efforts made to pre-
vent A.. We will have u league too,
whether 1t be the Pacific Nat onal or
any old name. Salt Lake win be In it,
and we win have a competent manager
and a good team. The other cities viii
be ogden, Boise, Butte, Helena and
Spokane.
