Out Of the protest. which could
not have been acted upon after the

such a board of arbitration was real

asking them if they would serve If an
arbitration board were formed and in
each case an affirmative reply was re-

Johnny Butler
Released From
Coast League

Johnny Butler, one of the most
popular ball players on the Ia
coma Tiger team in recent years,
and one of the best shortstops
ever holding down the short field
job here, is going to the Lincoln
club of the Western league this
season.
Butler was sold by Tacoma in
the middle of the 1915 season 10
Los Angeles. After a year with
the Angels he was released to the
Oakland club last year. Oakland
is letting him go to the Lincoln
team.
Johnny has proved a first class
fielder in the Coast league com
pany, and was used as utility man
for short and third. His failure
to pound the ball with the desired
vigor probably is the cause of his
transfer to the Western circuit.
