the Pooled Receipts
Plan

meeting of the towns interested in
the formation Of state league was held
at President john +. Tobins office yes
terday afternoon. Those represented
were Murray, Draper, Salt Lake,-the Oc
cidentals and Ogden The question Of a
state league this year was gone over i'm
detail and all of those present were in
favor of entering such a league. The
question Of division of the receipts was
brought up and with salt Lake willing
it was decided to pool the receipts the
same as last season, but not to try the
sinking fund plan.
Both Draper and Murray were eager to
get i'm. and il was suggested that these
TWO towns combine and put one team IN
the league. Draper viii not stand for
Sunday ball. but Saturday is their big
day. Murray likes the Sunday article
better than on week day. and it is be
licVed that a combination between the
two would give Draper Saturday ball and
Murray Sunday ball. thus both getting
the days they draw the biggest crowds
The representa- lives OF these two towns
will put this matter up to the fans and
report at a future meeting
