BUTTE is PLEASED
WITH NEW LINEUP

The Butte Miner does not mince word
in discussion of the reorganized UnIo
association. The Miner expresses il
views ranky. and to this effect.

and while Jack FlaDnery Is handling
things now. 1t appears as though
there would be playing manager at
the wheel when the season opens; In
fact, the mere statement dropped by
Bill Lussi the other night, that he
had received his contract from
Helena. indicates that the capital city
magnates are on the Job and are after
all the old good men and a lot OF
new ones.
IL appears TO be a cinch that tho
southern end of the circuit Is strong.
1t has been hinted that the southern

EBBETS TAKES STEP
TO PROTECT CLUB

NEW YORK. Jan. 30.-Charles II, Eb
bets, president OF the Brooklyn Ba Sc
boil club, asserted tonight that his clul
never had refused TO accede TO Tinker
demands and In sending the contra C
which Tinker received today had taker
the last step necessary for the legal pro
lection OF It's claims.
We offered Tinker the same salary
he received while a member of the
Chicago champion club. Tinker came
back asking for salary Of $500 for
term of three years. Since then we
have had the proposition under con-
sderation and finally the board of
directors agreed to accede to bis de-
mand. Thereupon we sent him n con-
tract and letter stating that we ac-
Cepted bis terms. We registered his
contract and letter on the 27th day
OF January, that giving US four
days leeway. That action was taken
after careful consideration, We at
no time refused to accede TO his de-
mands. the negotia tions being open
until his claims were accepted or re-
fused We never rejected his terms.
We are advised this action Will pro-
tect us fully and legally. This fact
that Tinker acknowledges receipt of
the contract is entirely satisfactory
to US. We hope and expect that ne
Will play with the Brooklyn club.

rLEsS things get all twisted up,
A. G. ('.Buck'') Weaver will
surely be with the Salt Lake
team this year. All along there
has been a sentiment in Salt Lake for
"Buck - Weaver's return. The hope
has often been expressed that the tanS
would see the foxy old backstop
in n SkvTrapcr uniform once more.
On his return from his home in Ar,
kansas, Manager Herb Hester stopped
in Denver and had IA talk with Weaver
The Denver News of Wednesday says
everything was arranged for Weaver's
return to Salt Lake
ANY question as to Weaver 8 ability
to Join the Salt Lake team appears to
be set at rest by the fact that he has
all along had his relcase from Great
Falls He told the News reporter so,
as is indicated by this little para
graph: j.,
banded Weaver secured his release un-
conditioually. The directors OF the
Great Falls team wrote Weaver that
they were glad to be able to do some
thing for him, and the granting OF his
release was without reservation.
Weaver will certainly be wonder

AS to 'Free Agents"
Speaking of ttfrce agents" /" there is
good reason TO believe that every play
er on the Missoula and Great Falls
teams is 'free agent II appears
that when the league directors met at
Butte they slipped up. Just trifle. In,
stead OF permitting Great, Falls aud
chises of those two clubs should have
been transferred" to Boise and Mur-
ray, and so noted on the minutes of
the meeting.
An effort yesterday by the Butte
correspondent of The Tribune to get a
ruling on the question of whether or
not the players belonged TO the
league' was not wholly successful. Mr.
Murphy was reported to be not clear on
the point. According to Murphy, J. FL.
Farrell. secretary of the national as
sociation, which has charge of all mi
nor league affairs, left the Union as
socIation president somewhat in doubt,
but Farrell s reply TO Murphy's query
seems 10 have given the Butte man the
impression Ilat Ine players were Irec
agents. The Tribune correspondent
wired as follows:
Mr.. Murphy said that he had
wired J. II. Farrell secretary Of
The National association, asking for
information and that the latter's
reply was not altogether clear but
il left the inference that a mistake
had been made at the recent meet
ing of the Union league in Butte,
when Great Falls and MissouIa sur
rendered their franchises.
''They should have been taken
over by Murray and Boise them
