PRICE BROS. GIVEN BASEBALL DECISION Joseph E. Hedges and O. D. Eby, of tbe Athletic Committee of the Willamette Valley Chautauqua As sembly, Wednesday decided that tbe Price Bros.' team won the champion ship In tbe series at the Chautauqua, recently held at Gladstone Park.

North wfteoara. leagues... The de cision In favor of the Oregon City team wss made reluctantly. The let ter of tbe committee to tbe assembly clones aa follows: "Mr. Berger, we find, was very su perior to th ' pitcher for whom he was substituted, and : had been tried out by Mr. "IcCredle for one of bis teams, but found not qualified for tbe position. J " "Under the contract for this club with the Chautauqua Assembly, which contract wis like that of every other club with the. association and waa therefore known to the other club, Oregon City had ft light to substi tute Mr. BerRer for the disabled pitch er by the strict letter of the contract For which reason, tbe protest is dis allowed, but we are constrained to state (hat In view of the fact that these two teams were equally suc cessful up to the time of this game, that the championship of the season depended upon It, and that a pitcher was obtained who waa next to a pro fessional, the action of the Price Bros, team substituting this superior pitcher should be condemned and such contract made hereafter with the baseball teams as to make such action Impossible." The Oregon City team was awarded the purse offered by the assembly. BARACA'CLASS PLANS OUTING.

FRIEL'S BODY IS NOT EXHUMED CORONER OF MULTNOMAH COUN TY NOT INTERESTED IN CASE. ACED RANCHER STILL KELPS WATCH Wilson Declares He Will Not Mak Investigation Until Evidence Supporting Charge Is Produced. No effort has been made to ex hume the body of Mrs. John T. Friel, wlf of tbe aged Cherryvllle rancher, despite the fact that John T. Friel, Jr., told Deputy Sheriff Mile the dis interment would take place Wednes day. Mr. Friel said that Coroner Nor den, of Multnomah county, had been enr&eed to remove tbe body and have an analysis of the tissues made, bu representatlves of that official have denied that he will do any such thing.

Coroner Wilson declared Wednes day that he would have the body dls- intered If any evidence of foul play was shown. He said that the county would not go to the expense of ex humation and having an examination made unless there was something tangible to work upon. "Not the slightest evidence has been submitted showing that Mrs. Friel did not die from natural causes," said the coroner. "It is ridiculous to think that I would put tbe county to a big expense In case of -this kind unless there was at least some rea son to believe that a crime bad been committed. Of course If evidence of a suspicious nature Is produced I shall gladly have the body taken from the grave and ft thorough analysis of the tissues made. There must be some evidence of crime before I can consent to make a costly investiga tion." . Information was received Wednes day night from Cherryvllle that the elder Friel was still guarding the grave of his first wife despite the re straining order granted by Judge Campbell against several of his chil dren. The second Mr. Friel. who was the nurse of the woman who died, at"! insists that tbe body be exhumed and a complete investiga tion made for her benefit She and her husband want the county authori ties to superintend the work, but have . so . far refused to defray tbe expense.
