given authority to deal with men like
McGraw in the future as he sees fit.
Ban Johnson, head of the American
league, also witnessed a small-sized
revolt during the past year by some of
the discontinued magnates, but it did
not go beyond the newspaper stage.
Much Fuss; Little Sport.
The intermountain country, from
which Salt Lake obtains it's baseball,
witnessed one long scrap among war;
ring magnates, which has not yet
reached an end. Early in the year w.
II. Lucas, president of the p. N. league,
and John J. McCloskey started a war
against c. II. Williams Of Spokane and
Walter Wilmot of Butte. Salt Lake
was drawn into the tight, taking sides
with the Spokane and Butte magnates.
and after a bitter fight, in which the
courts cut a prominent figure, drove
Lucas and McCloskey out Of this ter
ritory altogether.
These gentlemen retired to the Puget
sound country and organized the
Northwest league, which failed TO last
the season out on account Of lack Of
patronage.
The old Pacific National territory
was organized INTO q IOuf-cluD circuit,
which started out under better con-
ditions, as far as Salt Lake is con-
cerned, than any leagues in which this
city has ever been a member. Charlie
Reilly, as manager of the Salt Lake
team, had the complete confidence Of
the local fans, who fiocked to his sup
port as they have never done before.
Reilly proved a complete failure as a
team manager, and with good financial
backing gave Salt Lake a percentage
in the race lower than it has ever had
in past years. Interest in the game in
the other cities in the league was not
as good as expected. friends of the
Lucas McClOskey faction working
against the welfare of the league from
its inception.
The final outcome was that in the
latter part of June the league dis
banded through lack of support An
attempt was made to organize a state
league here in Utah out of the rem
nants of the p. n. l., but interest in
the sport was lacking, and in a couple
Of weeks Salt Lake was back TO anna
teur and semi-professional baseball
again.

Popular as During Past
s3zls Year.
PROSPECT FOR SPORT HERE
BEST IN SIGHT NOW is A STATE
LEAGUE.

Baseball, the grand American sport,
witnessed its greatest year in the one
just passed. Never since the game de-
veloped from the primitive town ball
or FOUNDERS, as it was called in differ
ent localities. has the sport been as
popular with the masses. This year
more players wore uniforms. more
leagues were in existence and larger
crowds attended the games than ever
before. While certain classes have
rallied at football, horse racing, pugil-
ism and other popular games, not a
single voice has been raised against
baseball, and the past season can cas-
lily be called the banner one in the his
tory OF the game.
With a playing season beginning
April IL and continuing until Oct. z,
the two mother organizations in base
ball, the American and National
leagues, fought during the long months
for the championships. In the older
organization. the National league, the
New York Giants early developed into
the strongest team. AS the season
neared an end 1t was seen that, barring
hard luck of the worst kind, the
Giants would be the winners. The
team, however, had gained such rep

tried to break into the field vacated by
the P. n. l., but received poor support
from the public, who had a taste of
minor league baseball. The semi-pro-
fessiOnal season ended in a game be-
tween Park City and Eureka, played
In this city, and a season which start
ed out with such bright prospects end
ed in a complete failure.
What of the Future7
Already fans are asking what the
prospects are for next year, but it can
be stated authorltatively at this writ
ing that there has been absolutely
nothing done which will warrant base
ball for Salt Lake next season. This
does not mean that all hope has been
given up for a team In Salt Lake, as
those interested in giving the town
baseball have been quietly working
toward that end. Just what will be
accomplished, If anything, is mere con-
lecture
Among the prospects in sight is the
old Northwest league of Portland, Sc
attic, Tacoma, Spokane. Butte and
Salt Lake. This would be the best
league. as far as Salt Lake is con-
cerned, that could be organized at this
time, and is one that the fans would
like to see. Unfortunately, however,
the key of league of this kind is held
In Seattle and Portland, and these
towns will have to agree to come this
way before anything can be done.
At the present time the Coast league
controls this territory, but as the
three-year agreement under which the
Coast league does business expires this
season, II is hoped the north coast
towns can be pulled in this direction.
Whether this win be done or not de-
ponds upon the meeting of the Coast
league, scheduled for the middle OF
January, when, il the present Coast
league is maintained, Salt Lakes pros
poets are not very bright for big league
ball next year.
When Angels Play the Game.
There are some who favor a league
towns. or the P. N league Of this sea-
son. Such a league, however, would
result only in & case of finding angels
20 put up good money to be squan-
dered. While it would give good base
ball, it would be a losing proposition
and would hardly last through the
season. Should the Northwest league
proposition fall through, this league
may be tried.
A state league, comprising Salt Lake,
Eureka, Park City, Bingham, Ogden
or Provo, is also talked of and may be
the league Of last resort. Such a league
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1905-12-31

would be an inexpensive one and would
probably be the best one that could be
organized under the existing circum-
stances.
The natural league for Salt Lake and
the one that is bound to come upon the
completion of the Moffat and Western
Pacific railroads, is a league built up
around San Francisco, Los Angeles,
Denver and Salt Lake. Such a league
would make d powerful organization
and with the natural increase in pOpu-
lation by that time would make one
OF the most powerful minor organiza-
tons in the United States. In the
meantime it looks like hard shedding
for Salt Lake fans. unless the
northwest proposition is carried
through.
