swarmed over the field they

high heavens and to every per
son they encountered who. was of
any Importance in baseball af

They told manager McGraw; of
the Giants they wouldn't come
back to bis old Polo grounds
again for anything In the world
They hurled mean words upon the
umpires saying anybody with
good eyes could see It was still
light enough to keep on playing.
Then they rushed to tbe box
where- Baseball 'Commissioner
Landis sat with Mrs. Landis.
The lending actors in the crowd
barked questions and comments
at the commissioner and the cho

ARMY SALUTE TRIG OF. PAST,
SAYS ORDER RECEIVED FROM
WASHINGTON BY GUARD HEAD
I Military saluting between officers and enlisted men of the regular arrrry, national guard
and other elements of the national defense has been dumped into the , discard except on
military reservations and under limited circumstances, according to a war department
order, received today by Brigadier General George A. 'Yhite, head of the Oregon national
guard. .'V . ... 2, .
After this when an enlisted man walking down the -street with his best girl meets
a second lieutenant or a major general, he goes serenely on his way. without so much as
the tatting of an eye. The old order requiring him to: throw a fit with 'his saluting
arm is dead and gonet The salute will be required hereafter only at the armory 'or mili
tary resarvation, in the handling of official business and at the beginning and end of. an
official conversation. On social occasions, during games and at mess there .will be no
salutes. N " ,;" ' . ' ' . .' T
"This is one of the biggest steps taken yet by the wa? department i in Americanizing
the American army," said General White. "If all the energy that was wasted in promis
cuous and needless saluting
th3 war should have ended much sooner."

COMMERCIAL CLUB
MW CHGEME
Proposed Amendment Would
Make it Chamber of Com
merce Vote' Called
A proposal to change the name
ot the Salem Commercial club to
Salem Chamber of . Commerce
will be voted on at the open for
um meeting of the club Wednes
day night, October 11. Tbe prc-t
posal comes up as a proposed
amendment to the club constitu
tion and by-laws.
The proposal recalls a verbal
fight that took place in the club
about Fix years when Benjamin
Brick, a Salem merchant at that
time, introduced a measure I to
have thi name changed to Cham
ber of Commerce. Brick made a
hard fight for his measure, but
could muster no support, most of
the members declaring that the
old name was good enough.
An argument presented in fav
or of the change of name Is print
ed in a circular letter as follows:
"Salem is the, only town of any
importance in the Willamette val
ley that bas not a Chamber ; of
Commerce. McMinnville, . Al
bany, Corvallls, Eugene, Med ford.
Ashland, alt have chambers ot
Commerce. Corvallls being . the
last of fiem to change its name,
doing fo about six months ago.
All of tbe inquiries from the
east and middle west coming to
our city are addressed to the
Chamber of Commerce.
"Nearly all tourists coming to
our city inquire for the Chamber
of Commerce when (hey wish In
formation and many of them do
not come to the Commercial club
when directed to do so, thinking
it is entirely a social organiza
tion. "It will not change In any way
the policy or activities of our
present organization."
