Butte club directors weigh next season policy
The Butte baseball club directors audit shows the season did not lose money, though debt on the ball park remains separate. Joe McGinnity led a strong hitting club in 1916 with a .298 team average and several players over .300, while pitching was weaker. Directors plan to renew McGinnity’s contract despite criticism and a league meeting looming in Spokane to enforce salary limits and address management questions.
