Walla Walla, . Wash., Oct. 9 That
Boise will accept the profeied berth
in the Union association next year and
lliat the Western Tri-State league will
bo recognized with another town in
its place, was the opinion of the di
rectors of the league after their star
chamber session held yesterday after
noon in the Commercial club rooms.
All the directors were present and ho
one else was admitted to the meet
ing. ' .
Boise's action is not considered a
flat withdrawal from the league, be
cause of dissatisfaction, but resulted
from a friendly and honest consulta
tion of the directors in the interests
of baseball, it being decided that it
is probably better for the league to
thus eliminate the long jump from the
Idaho town to the others, since Boise
was really in the Union association
territory and equally as good a league
could be organized oft this end of the
circuit. The matter will be decided
definitely, however, later.
All of the Qther directors were of
the opinion that their town wanted
baseball again next year and that
their fans would be ready to get be
hind another league organization next
year and Secretary Brown stated that
there would be no difficulty in get
ting another town to take over the
Boise franchise.
The principal business of the di
rectors consisted of equalizing the
transportation and hotel expenses of
the clubs interested and it was while
juggling these figures that it was
brought home to the directors the
big expense of maintaining a club at
Boise.
Yakima is anxious for more base
ball in this class league and Pendle
ton fans can always be depended up
on u uacK tno game when spring
opens up, while local fans have al
ways been in favor of baseball. But
one more town is needed then to
maintain the league, or possibly three
more towns could be admitted, mak
ing a six club league.
The final action on the matter being
postponed until another meeting to be
held on January 20, at which time
Boise will take final and definite ac
tion and other steps will have been
taken towards securing another town
if necessary.
In going ever the gate receipts of
the league it was found that Boise had
taken in $13,800.25 in 13 weeks of
baseball; Walla Walla had taken in
88,701.45 in 10 weeks; Yakima, $7;
576.95 with 11 weeks; Pendleton $3,
869.45 in eight weeks; Baker, $3159.75
in four weeks; and La Grande, $1,
143.35 in three weeks. Total receipts,
f38.34C.20. ; !
By uiis can be seen that Baker's re- j
ceipts for four weeks were almost as
much as Pendleton's for eight weeks. 1
Hotel and transportation bills are
pooled and each club pays the same '
amount ,thus lightening the expense i
of the heaviest travelers., j
At the meeting were: President W. .
N. Sweet of Boise, and Directors Eu- 1
gene Kenley of Boise, R. W. Ritner,
of Pendleton, R. W. Rundstrum of
Yakima and .1. T. Crawford of Walla
Walla.
Pendleton Club Gels Rebate.
Pendleton, Oct. 9. R. W. Ritner,
Pendleton director of the Western Tri
State league, arrived home last even
ing from Walla Walla where he at
tended the meeting of the directorate
of the league. He succeeded in carry
ing his point in the matter of pooling
hotel and traveling expenses and the
local club will thus secure a rebate
of nearly $400. The league is in debt
for salaries and each club will have to
contribute about $100, he says. Mr.
Ritner thinks that fi the league is
continued another year, Lewiston or
T.aker may take the plave of Boise.
