, The following self explanatory
, dispatch was received from the
, Gate city:
Edward F. Murphy, president
, of the Union association, and
, DR.. c. P. Harvielle, president of
, the Murray club, met with base
, ball promoters here Saturday in
, an effort to transfer the Murray
. franchise to Pocatello.
, Although Pocatello is very
, eager to get into the Union as
, sociation, the fact of its con-
nection with the Four-B league
. and the desire to preserve har-
, mony with American Falls, Ida
. no Falls and Blackfoot, and be-
, cause Of moral obligations to
, finish the season in that league,
, prevented that step this year It
was thought best, therefore, to
, postpone Joining the Union as
. ISOLATION until next season.

. graphed to President Murphy at

. tee had already been raised for a
berth in the Union association

Series.


Ducky Holmes. manager, and his
tribe of Butte Ducks, who walloped the
pennant winners for the first half, Salt
Lake, six straight games last week will
arrive in Boise this afternoon prepara-
tory to opening the second series of the
second half of the schedule here to-
morrow afternoon. The Irrigators have
little Job on their hands with the fast
Montana aggregation and while the
odds favor the visitors fans here are
looking to the Boise club to pull out
of the rut, get busy and grab the series.
The Helena club jumped from here
last night for Ogden to open with the
Gamers tomorrow. Salt Lake will re-
main at home and meet the Murray
club. The battle there should be a tight
one. Ogden will have it's hands full
taking care OF Helena and there should
be a nice little scrap on here between
Butte and Boise.

If Salt Lake can take out of 6
games from Boise and Butte can take
six straight from Salt Lake, how many
games can Boise take from Butte?
What's the answer
At that 1t looks bad for the Irriga-
tors. But baseball is an odd game.

Boise might have a little surprise to
pull on the Ducks. 1t will have to be
a surprise all right.

The fearful tale is told with sobs in
the batting and fielding averages of
the Irrigators for the series last week.
The batting slump was real and the
fielding was awful Seventeen boots
