Standing of the Clubs in the Montana League
The Montana league standings show Anaconda and Great Falls leading, with Butte trailing. The league aims for a $1200 monthly salary cap per team and about 400 paid admissions to stay viable, while travel costs drop as only three new players per team are allowed for the remainder of the season. The revival of interest in the second series promises a more exciting run, potentially attracting new cities in the fall.
