transportation.
Capital News. Special service)

Salt Lake, July 1S.-Dr. c. p. Har-
vielle of the Murray team last night
wired President Murphy that if the
Murray team is expected to go to
Boise next week, the league would
have to send check to pay the trans
portation expenses. No answer came
today. President Murphy wired the
Salt Lake club secretary today that
the Murray players salaries would be
paid. A special meeting is to be held
at Butte Monday forenoon, at which
time 1t will be definitely determined
whether Murray sticks or whether it
is dropped, together with one OF the
other clubs Rumors are persistent
that the Butte club is to be Withdrawn
owing to the fact that Larry Duggan,
who has been putting up the money,
will not foot the bills any longer. This
is mere rumor, however. If Murray is
dropped Shortstop Caveney, Catcher
Auer and Outfielder Carman will wear
Salt Lake uniforms next week.

torn loose from his meat hand a few
days ago in Sioux city, but an injury
OF that nature was not sufficient to keep
this peppery Denver player out of the
ball game. Faye simply took one day
off to bandage his wound, after which

Major league scouts are scanning

Of its kind in America, it's membership
being exceeded only by that of the Free
Masons and the Odd Fellows.

Justus H. Rathbone, a New Yorker
who was employed in one of the gov
eminent Offices here, called together a
few of his friends to discuss the form
alton of a fraternal society. 1t was
just at the close Of the civil war and
the time was considered suspicious for
! forming such a society The initial
steps were taken and it was decided to
call the order the Knights of Pythias.
The order prospered from the start
