Northwestern Magnates and McCredies Would Be Glad to See Teams. LOW SALARY LIMIT NEED When One Stops to Enumerate Noted Players Who Have Graduated From Old Class D Organiza . tion, Another Trial Boomed. BY HARRY M. GRAYSON. Will the Western Trl-State Baseball League be in existence this season? This is a question asked by many Fort land fans, young ballplayers and one that Is In the mind of every Northwest ern League magnate, and. last but not least, the McCredies. On several different occasions in the last few years the Western Tri-State has been organized fora time only, to disband after running for one or two seasons fairly successfully. In 1913 and 1914 the circuit went through entire seasons and many good ballplayers graduated out of its ranks. In 1914 the league had a salary limit of $1200. and consisted of Walla Walla and North Yakima, Wash., and Pendle ton, and Baker, Or. Things were not managed any too well and the salary limit was violated on many occasions. As a result, at the end of the season three cities had the following deficits: Walla Walls, $1100; Pendleton. J1000; North Yakima. $900. Baker, the small est town In the circuit, but the most enthusiastic, broke even. Attendance Fairly Good. Although the schedule was arranged in the best possible manner that year, and the attendance was fairly good, the desire to win was too great to be good for any of the clubs. It caused them to go over the salary limit secretly and pay ballplayers higher salaries than a Class D league can afford. This is the secret of their losses. In 1913 nearly everything was mis managed. The schedule was arranged in a way which caused long jumps, which proved expensive, and the sal ary limit was higher than.in 1914. All of the clubs suffered even greater losses that year than in the year later, but even at that the owners threw their hats Into the ring and, although rroeey. came up for more the follow ing Spring. This shows the class of sportsmen In that part of the country. There is only one way in which the Tri-Staters can operate with any Rind of chance of completing a profitable season. Their salary limit cannot be over $900. which, if a club carried 12 men, would allow an average salary (Concluded on Page 4, Column 7.) !

GRIDIRON FATE NEAR Willamette to Decide on Re tention of Athletics. SPORTS EXPECTED TO STAY Committees Will Make Reports on February 1, Probably Inves tigators Named by Fac ulty Are Divided. WILLAMETTE TTN1 VKKSITY. Salem, Or., Jan. 22. (Special.) At a recent meeting- of the Independent eonegTes or the state at McMinnville, a resolution was adopted advising against any of the schools maintaining intercollegiate athletics, which, of course, is aimed primarily at football. The conference was made up of the presidents and at ioat nnii faculty member from each of the following schools: Pacific Univer- itv Pacific Colleee. McMinnville Col- lege,"Reed College, Philomath College. Albany College- and Willamette uni versity. Tha faculty of -Willamette held a meeting relative to the matter shortly after and a committee was appointed .A innir further intn the Question. .Presi dent Doney is chairman of the commit tee, with Professors juaiinews auu Kirk. Coach Mathews and Principal Ford, of the academy, comprising the rest. Of these it seems proDame inai the first three are against athletics, while, of course. Coach Matthews is strongly for the sports, as is also Prin cipal Ford. The committee's report Is due about February 1 and it is caus ing some speculation aa to just wnai .ii ka .Via fat. nt Int-Arcollesriate ath letics at Willamette. The faculty out side the committee seems about evenly divided, with several strongly In favor of intercollegiate sports. Inasmuch as the board of trustees, at a meeting last June, voted on the same proposition, defeating tne aDoll tion side about 28-7. It seems probable that Willamette University will con tinue to meet the different colleges of the state in different branches of ath ittr rrnnnh Mathews has been at the school only five months, but holds the respect of all the jsortnwest coacnes for his coaching ability. The varsity has always met- the state Institutions in all different branches of athletics, and it always has been a drawing-card for them to do this. Arrangements have nearly been completed for football games with Idaho and Whitman, and probably California, next year. CUBS' IilST IS NOW CUT TO 43 Eleven Already Sold by Weeghman, Who Will Pay Bresnahan. CHICAGO, Jan. 22.

OREGON STARS WILL PLAY AT DEL KITE State Champion and Other Golfers to Enter Western . Championship Lists. . PORTLAND INVITES CRACKS Furore Excited at Meeting: of Asso ciation by Offer of Free Fares, but Question of Profession alism Is Voted Down. BY ROSCOE FAWCETT. Quite a number of Pacific Northwest g-olfers are planning to attend the Western Amateur golf championships this coming July. This stellar event will be held at Del Monte. CaL. July 17-22. Rudolph Wilhelm, Oregon golf champion, is one knight of the mashle and niblick who likely will be there for tha big blowoff. Russell Smith, C. H. Davis. Guy " Standifer. Chandler Egan and several other Oregon stars also will undoubtedly attend. Wilhelm doesn't think he stands much change against the stars of the Western Armament who will be on hand, but he intends to enter never theless. Rudy was an entrant at the exposition championships last Summer and gave a good, account of himself. Chandler Egan finally eliminated him. The event was won by Harry Davis, a former Waverley player. Not only will the holding of the Western championship on the Coast be an inspiration to golf in this section, but also it will give the Coast golfers an excellent chance to show their wares. Last year Harry Davis and Jack Ne ville went East to participate in this event and neither played much better than a novice. Neville sliced and hooked all over the township. At home, however, playing over a course with which they are acquainted, both these cracks ought to be in the running from start to finish. Efforts are to be made by the big golfing organizations in the Pacific Northwest to have the Middle Western golfers return to their homes via this section. The difference in fares wllr be about $17 a man and it probably will be necessary to raise this money in order to guarantee the tour. The clubs in this section pungled up more than that, however, at the time Vardon and Ray made their tour three or four years ago. Middle Western golfers will betaken from Chicago to Del Monte and return free of charge aboard a special train. Possibly they may be willing to pay their own fares so as to see the North west. Whether or not this free transporta tion offer is also extended to North western golfers attending the title meet is unknown. The question of accepting the Del Monte offer of free railway fare caused a furore at the Chicago meeting of the Western Association. Frank L. Wood ward, of Denver, president of the United States Golf Association, de clared that if the Western golfers ac cepted this offer they would be regard ed as professionals by the major or ganization. After a great deal of oratory had been expended the delegates voted to accept same by a count of 100 to IB. Eventually a ballot was taken on Del Monte alone, the Midlothian Country Club, of Chicago, and the Omaha Coun try Club being left out. This was a straight vote, in which the free trans portation question was eliminated, and Del Monte won, 134 to 71. e The Olympic cup tourney will also be held at Del Monte on July 15.
