WIMNS TALKS ON BASEBALL Well Known Athlete Discusses Sit uation in Different Towns. ."The Inland Empire towns and cities will not have as fast baseball teams in the field this season as last year. The most of them spent more money then than they could well afford and the ' people are taking little interest in the national game now. They do not want to put up their coin as they did last season, see poor ball and find themselves In the hole at the end of the schedule." ' The above statement was made by Earl Winans, a well known football and baseball player of Walla Walla, who Is in this city. Mr. Winans does not be lieve a "bunchgrass league" will material ize in the Inland Empire as had been predicted and says the people of Walla Walla, always the mainstay of such a combination, do not feel inclined to fur nish 13,000 or $4,000 which would be re quired to get a team In the field and maintain It through the season of 1903. One meeting of the fans has been held but It was poorly, attended and he is of (he opinion that little Is to be hoped for.' . 'Pendleton, too, Is rather sore on base ball."' be said.. "There was. a great deal of money subscribed popularly and paid out , to , players there last year and the Pendleton .people do not respond prompt ly 'to 'the suggestion that they follow suit this season. . .."Athena, the city of the famous Yel low Kids, will have no team at all. ttoyton, a town of 2,600 people, seems In the best shape of any, as she was un able to get Into the league last year and has $5,000 on hand which she was able to save from the Sum subscribed to put up a team tnen. "There Is no telling what the actual outcome will be, but It looks bad for baseball this year."

Phillips squirmed and twisted, but the best he could do waa to last 13 minutes and 30 seconds. Had he stayed 10 seconds long er he would have received $26. Peter Bannon. who came to this coun try from England with Joe Carroll of, Ireland, has posted a forfeit In this city to arrange a match, with P. Hausen of Perth 'Amboy.

More Funds Are Badly Wanted to Carry Out the Proposed Work-Saves Boys An effort Is being made to enlarge the Portland Publio Swimming Baths during the eomlng season. The enlargement will cost quite a sum of money and everybody who has a few nickels to spare can send them to the treasurer of the Institution and share In the good work. The Free Swimming Baths is a publle institution, and no person mukes a profit out of the concern. Everybody Is al lowed to take a free wlm during cer tain Intervals, but for the use of a locker In which to keep' the clothes and a dry towel a small fee Is charged. This fee. Is Just large enough to meet the bare ex pen f furnishing1 tne guodC ' ' ' During the last year the baths' first season the institution was so crowded that at times many had to be turned away for the lack of proper facilities, It Is this condition that the directors of the baths are trying to remedy and that's the reason more money Is needed and needed badly. Benefits of the Baths. The benefit of the public baths to a city can hardly be estimated at off hand and nothing has ever been written that told the em I re story. By reason of the locating of the baths In this city, many boys who were for merly wont to use the open river and swell the HMs of deaths by drowning. took their dally baths In the public In stitution. The usual Jarge number of drownings in the river were reduced to one Tone case during the last m-uson and the directors of. the baths hope that the institution will be large enough for all to come ana thereby enable everybody to take a swim and yet be In no danger whatever. The management of the inntltutlon has not as yet made any formnl appeal for funds to carry out the propoHed en largement, but it will be done In u short time. Everybody Is invited to. give, and, give as often as their purses will allow. Of course it Is not the intention of the di rectors to discourage anybody from send ing as large as a check as possible and no one need have any fear that the gift would nut be welcome. ' Will Women Bathe. Some apprehension Is being felt by the women In regard to the number of days that the baths will be turned over to them for their Individual use. During the last season so few women took ad vantage of their bathing days that It waa cut in half. Then the women became alarmed that the directorate might cut them out altogether, and so began to pat ronise the bathB with a vim that made the directors feel sorry. "But," said one of the directors, "If we didn't notify the women that they would be cut off altogether If they did not pat ronize the place more frequently, I don't think that women's day would have been such a succeus as it was during the clos ing days of the season. If the women do not want to bathe we can find a lot of boys who wfll." It Is not known just where the baths will be located during the present sea son, but some of the directors think that the foot of East Taylor street, which was used after the burning of the Madison street bridge may again be secured for the present season. The various floats are located there and will only need to be assembled In order to open the season's work.
