IS TURNED down
Boise Will Have No Further
Dealings With Union As
ISOLATION as Long as
Cooley Is in It.

Negotiations are or between the
Union and Western Tri-State league.
The fine Italian hand of one Dick
Cooley. owner of the Salt Lake club In
attempting to stir up factional differ
ences, has been exposed. and the Boise
magnates have dropped his proposal
for Boise to take membership in the
Union association, with thud
Through his emissary r. L. Hughes
Cooley sought to cause conflict here
but his plans have been exposed and
Boise is not to be baited to Join the
Union association. President Bossner
Of the Boise Baseball club, has wired
Cooley that the negotiations are sum-
marily ended and Walter Bratz, SPORT
Ing editor Of the Telegram, has been
sent the same information. together
with the reasons. Butte has been no.
titled that Boise cannot consider the
Cooley proposal.
Local Fans Indignant.
The sudden turn Of events in the
local baseball world was brought about
through the report that Hughes gave
out In Salt Lake to the effect that
Boise would probably lose its Western
Tri-State right because of tho fractional
differences that existed here but which
have not and do not exist, except in
the Indignation Of the mind Of Cooley's
representative. Not only local mag
mates but fans here are indignant over
Hughes misrepresentation and the at
tempt they believe Cooley made to dis
turb the baseball situation in this city,
They declare that there is no reason To
be surprised, for twice before the
Union association handed Boise a lem
on and nothing else could be expected
the third time.
Union Wanted Boise.
Under the pretense that the Union
association realized the mistake It had
made in forcing Boise out Of the league
a year ago. and claiming that 1t was
the desire Of this association to have
Boise return. Hughes came to this city
Monday to negotiate with local mag
mates, officers of the Boise club and
the Western Tri-State league. Hughes
informed the local magnates that he
had been sent here by Dick Cooley as
his special representative and was Of
fering the olive branch to Boise 20
at least consider the proposition. This
the local magnates agreed to do.
Hughes wanted the magnates to COM
init themselves about taking a men,
bership in the Union association but
this they refused to do. declaring that
while they could consider Casley's pro-
posal and would 60 so far as to make q
trip to Salt Lake and hold a conference
with him, Boise had nothing to prom
ise and definite action could not be
taken until a decision had been reach
ed in January when the Western Tri-

State magnates met at La Grande.
Presidency Was Offered.


Hughes seemed to have unlimited au-
thority to make representations on be-
half Of Cooley. He held his negotia-
lions with President Bossner Of the
Boise club and President Sweet Of the
Tri-State league as well as one or two
other men closely associated with the
Boise club. The presidency Of the
Union league was offered by Hughes
to either Mr.. Bossner or Mr.. Sweet,
who were informed by Cooley's rep
resentative that Cooley was willing to
give either one Of the Boise magnates
unlimited authority to dictate in the
Union association az It's president II
only Boise would como in. Hughes
also informed the local magnates that
Cooley held the proxies of Great Falls,
Salt Lake and Pocatello which, with
that Of Boise, would give one of the
local magnates, should he accept the
proposition to become president, I'M
limited authority.
President Sweet and President
Bossner informed Hughes that Boise
magnates were not looking for an OPP
portunity to dictate to any league,
but were merely interested in organ
lied baseball for the good Of the game
and the love of the sport; that neither
of them was anxious to become presi-
dent Of the Union association and the
only reason a membership would be
given the slightest consideration was
because they wanted Boise to have
the best kind of ball obtainable.
1t was agreed then that President
Sweet, President Bossner and Louis
Roos should 60 to Salt Lake between
Dec is and 20 and confer with Dick
cooley.
Hughes, cireuIates False Report.
Evidently Hughes did not end his
negotiations with the local baseball
magnates. He talked with some one
else. At any rate when he returned
to Salt Lake he Immediately started
the story that Boise fans were greatly
divided over fractional differences in
the baseball line and that as a result
the club Boise has in the Western
Tri-State was in jeopardy with the
prospects Of Boise losing out. This is
condition that fans know Goes not
and has not existed here. The only
purpose that Hughes and Cooley had
for giving out such reports in Salt
Lake, It is believed here, was for the
purpose of creating such factional
differences as they spoke of. Dust
present men who have done so much
for the game and then annex the ter
ritory to the Union association. That
Hughes argument had no ground is
evident from the fact that there could
be no chance of Boise losing its club
as long as the Western Tri-S State
league held onto the protection given
to this territory by the national as
ISOLATION and this Boise proposes to
do.
Drop Negotiations.
When local magnates learned of the
trick Hughes had turned, President
Bossner Immediately wired Dick
Cooley that negotiations were at an
end and that there would be no con-
ference In Salt Lake over the proposal
of Boise to go back into the Union
league. Boise has fatty turned down
the Union association by this notice.
