Vancouver Club Transfer Consideration For Rest Of Season
Specis Dreyers Billings July Butte wired W. 2. George tonight asking if a proposition to transfer the Vancouver club to Billings for the rest of the season would receive consideration. An answer at Spokane where the moguls meet tomorrow was requested. After a late canvass it was deemed inadvisable to transfer the Allies here due to season lateness and need to erect a new grand stand and grounds. It is therefore improbable the offer will be accepted. Another meeting will be held in the morning to question further.
