After some discussion, May 7 was set
as a tentative date for the opening.

Following his election to the presi
dency, w, N. Sweet made a short and
optimistic talk in which he predicted
that next year the league would num
ber six teams and that 'eventually it

the Trl-State league would be the
greatest on the Pacific slope outside
of the Coast league and this state
ment was met with cheers.

declared his interest In baseball and
his desire to be 'of service to the new

considered.
Salary Limits I200.
By a clause lu the by-laws .: the
salary limit of the different clubs will
be 1200 a month and all of the rep
resentatives present believe that the
gate receipts will pay these salaries.
A two-cent rate will be secured from
the railroads which will materially
cut down expenses and the fact that
the gate receipts in each city will be
spilt evenly and that r the .. receipts
from all holiday games will be pooled
will Insure Pendleton and La Grande
faring equally as well as t he two
larger cities. Each city has raised
$2500 to put the teams on a substan
tial starting basis and each has put
up $500 as forfeit In case the season
of four months is not flnlsnea.
The Player Managers.
The representatives of the four
clubs today announced the , player
