American League
Salt Lake Wants Lajoie to
Manage Team Next Season

salt Lake, Utah, Sept. 19.-If the
Salt Lake team of the Pacific Coast
can induce Connie Mack Of the Ath-
letics to part with Larry Lajoie and
the big Frenchman will accept the
berth, the local club will have a man
ager next year which will set this
town wild over baseball
Several days ago when Cliff Blank
ership was bounced the board of di-
rectors, who are many and powerful
decided to get big league star for
next years club, and when somebody
suggested Lajoie it spread like wild
fire around the town. 1t was then and
there decided to make q play for the
great veteran. Salt Lake is willing 10
buy or trade for the Cne-time peerless
intielder.
This town is baseball crazy ever since
its debut in Pacific Coast League. and
while many of the natives are lust
beginning to thoroughly understand
the game, Salt Lake has paid out in
percentage more money to visiting
teams than many of the older coast
teams. Home-run hitters are espe-
cially heroes here. Every time q
local player hits for the circuit he is
literally bombarded with money
Bunny Brief, the former American
Lacquer and who is covering first base
for Salt Lake, has reaped a harvest
this year in extra money picked up off
the field. Bunny has hit for the circuit
for nearly thirty home runs, and as
most of them have been in this city,
he has swelled his bank account sew
eral hundred dollars. Last week, after
dropping one over the fence, Bunny
picked up on the field over forty dol
lars tossed onto the ground by the
frenzfed and delighted fans.

RIPRAP DECISION
THIS WEEK--GROSS
Park Commissioner Has Con-
suited With Seitz; Says Cow
den Disagrees With Plan

Before the end of this week Park
Commissioner L. Z. Gross says he will
have decided definitely whether or not
the riprapping of the river front slopes
north of Hardscrabble will be done
this Fall
The Commissioner admitted to-day
that he has had his long expected con-
ference with City Solicitor d. S. Seitz
on the question of the legality of ap-
plying a portion of the balance in the
park Improvement loan for the pur-
pose
Mr.. Seitz, he said, referred him to
city Engineer NJ. B. Cowden and the
engineer advised against the proposed
Improvement.
The State Water Supply Commission
not only granted the city permission
to strengthen for all time the slopes
and protect the new "iill from the
rivers wash, by constructing coping
OF riprapping, but advised the park de-
partment to place the stone for
distance of fifteen feet instead of five.
Money Is Available
The job will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $2,500 and it is understood
that If operations are begun now, the
work can be completed before cold
weather interferes. About $4,000 re-
mains in the park improvement fund
ana TINS, II was expected, was to have
been applied toward the construction
of the proposed subway beneath the
Philadelphia and Reading tracks on
the Cameron parkway near PaXtang.
The subway, however, viii cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 or $4,000
which precludes the starting of this
operation until this sum is available.
Before he decided whether 1t would
be more advisable to use some of the
balance for the protection of the
river park slopes or let the money lie
idle in the treasury Commissioner
Gross has been intending to consult
about it with Mr.. Seitz.
When l asked Mr.. Seitz about
this" said the Commissioner to-day,
he referred mo to Mr.. Cowden. Mr..
Cowden said the money could be used
for this improvement but advised
against riprapping. However, be-
fore the end of the week I'll decide
whether or not we shall go ahead with
this work now or let it go until next
Spring--in spite of what Mr.. Cowden
has said"

The usual knocks against league
and association baseball leaders are in
evidence. Dave Fultz, head of the
Players Fraternity wants a new man
at the head of the National Association
OF Minor League Clubs. He does
not like j. H. Farrell, the present sec,A
retary, who has filled the position forS
long time, and while the duties are
rather arduous has made good. Pres
ident Fultz may have q just cause for
complaint, but it is a safe bet that if
he had as much to do as Secretary
Farrell, he would keep awake at
nights trying to find a way to do it.
The annual kicks are also being
made against Gerry Hermann, head
of the National Commission. He, too
has survived former knocks and Is
likely to pull through another season.
