REDS NOW RUN TICK
FOR STREET CAR RIDES

Hot Springs. Ark, April 2.-The
Cincinnati Red players are all running
a charge account with tine" motor
man on the" street car that runs to
the ball park. Here's how it hap
pened:
THE" mOtOrman on "the" street car
acts as motOrman, conductor and per
sonal attendant to all the passengers.
One day the Reds were pTacticing and
stayed too late. They all wanted 20 get
back in time to boil out in the baths,
And so they made a rush for the street
car. They were ali in uniform, and,
of course, had no money with them.
''What'n we dO?" said Tom Clarkei
run in?"
Come on, boys" said the motorman,
as he rang up twelve fares. I'VE run
credit system here. and any ball player
can go the limit with me-" The boys
all piled on the car and rode home.
Whenever the Reds want to take a
ride, they just get on the car, hold up
one finger to the motorman and he
chalks up little mark against their
names in a little book he has bought
just for the purpose.
At the end OF each week the motor
man strOlls over to the Eastman hotel
and presents bill and gets the fares.

meet you any time and anywhere, but 1
want to tell you right now, that it will
have to be under a -take-all con-
tract. Just for your talk you won't
even set a losers end of it."
Roller turned white and started for
the champion Gotch drew himself up
and it looked like there would be nice
little mix" but the few friends in the
room interviewed and separated the two.
That's all right said Roller, Il
have not been four flushing as you
charge, but I'll accept your proposition
and be glad to. And I want to add, that
l don't think that I'll walk home,
either" he said as a parting shot.
The two went through with their bill,
but nothing more was said about the
little difficulty. 1t is the belief of local
people that the match Will go through.
Both men refused TO talk about it this
morning before leaving.

Alexandria, La, March 26.-Manager
linn Mcclure of the Maps has probably
caught more different pitchers than
any other man now identified with the
national game, for there is no other
backstop that was so actively engaged
as a player as the veteran from Albion
Mich.
Jim cannot recall the names OF scores
of the fingers whose careers upon the
diamond were rather brief whom he
caught but he remembers well the
more famous pitchers he worked With
He thinks Jouett Meekin, whom ne
caught in Washington many years ago,
was the spee1iest. Meekin afterward
went TO New York and with Amos
Rusie helped win two pennants for the
Giants.

Mcclure also caught Tony Mullane
and Hank O'DaY during the same time
at Washington. He praises O'Day as
being one of the cleverest pitchers he
ever handed signals to. Then there

to be close friends. The Kansas City
paper says;
DIR. B. F. Roller, who defeated Karl
Becker in straight falls. was in the
dressing room occupied by himself and
Frank Gotch, resting between falls.
Someone turned the talk into wrestling
channels and hazarded the guess that a
finish match between GOtch and Roller
would be more to the liking of the fans
than the one being staged between
Gotch and Pat Connely.
Gotch listened for a few minutes in
silence. 1t was noticed that he had
been rather cold toward Roller the
past few days, and no one seemed to
know the reason. Then it came out.
1t came like a thunder clap from clear
sky.

MURRAY FANS WORKING
HARD TO RAISE BALL FUND

Baseball fans at Murray-end, for the
size of the town, there are more there
than in any other city in the state, are
working hard to dispose of the tickets
on the automobile rattle from which
funds sufficient to launch and main
tain a Murray state league team are ex-
pected. Headed by Mayor Phil Benz.
chairman OF the automobile committee
of the Murray Baseball association, the
league boosters hope to dispose of 1000
tickets at 81 each. Each ticket calls for
a chance on the automobile which will
be ratified at the Murray city hall, April
16
Already 600 tickets have been sold, but
the demand in Murray is slowing up. The
committee plans to ask the support Of
all baseball fans, whether they live in
Murray or not, counting on their inter-
est to boom the game In Utah In gen.
eral.
OF the state league possibilities, Muir
ray is the first in the field and has
shown from the start a live interest
in the game which has not been equaied
In Salt Lake or Ogden.
The Murray Baseball association is
handling the automobile rattle and each
ticket purchased will help to establish
nine at Murray and will also help the
state league in general.

AGGiE AND q. Y. c. COACHES
EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS.

Especial to The Herald Republican,
Logan. April 2.-The withdrawal of the
University OF Utah from the intercolle-
giate baseball league caused quite a stir
here, especially among the college fans,
and the action was roundly denounced.
The university being freely accused of
cowardice. Both local teams have gone
TO considerable expense to equip them
selves for the season, which promised TO
be very successful one for them, and
while the action of the university will not
badly disarrange their plans perhaps. still
they feel better toward the Salt Lake in
stitutioD for its unusual action, coming,
as il die, without any notice, and after
both schools had sold a great many sea-
son tickets, which they will now have TO
take up.
Coach Teetzel, when seen, very frankly
said he believed the reason the university
quit was that II saw a good chance to fin
ish at the tail OF the league this season,
being without the usual abundance Of ma
terial, and so quit.
ITS a pretty rank display of bad
faith" he said, land one that school
Of the university's pretensiOns should hes
kate to make, but It's characteristic, any
way.
"As for the Aggies. they will go right
on like nothing had happened. We shall
favor inviting Provo TO take the place of
the u, and go right ahead, but II that
cannot be done, then Wen play anyway
even II we have 10 join the county league.
We have spent a good deal Of money in
getting ready for the season, and now
We are going to finish it"
Kemp Indignant.
Coach Kemp of the B. Y c. was in
dignant to learn OF the universities un-
usual action, and said that he intended TO
take the matter up with them at once,
and If possible, secure a reconsideration
of the action taken. Mr.. Blood of the b.
Y c. athletic committee will go TO Salt
Lake tomorrow, and will call on Coach
Maddox of the university, with view
TO adjusting the matter. If this cannot
be done, then the B. Y. c., which has It's
strongest team of many years, Will DO as
the Aggies have decided to dO-play II
out. Mr. Kemp is in favor of arranging
games with the Weber stake academy,

academy and the Aggies. and any others
that may desire to come IN.

said. I'VE are ready for the season, hav-
ing spent considerable time and money IN
getting in shape, and now we are going
to play ball, university or no university.

sure the equipment and maintenance
of two ball teams, which will insure the
Utah state league, will show that Utah
is on the baseball map and will pave
the way for placing Salt Lake in faster
company than a state league.
While Salt Lake will put two teams
in the field. each will be run under
separate management. but the fund of
the two teams will be held at the end
of the season as one fund, and will be
kept to a mark, If possible, which will
insure baseball not only all season, but
for seasons to come.
