"Well. Babe, how will $210,- 000 fcr three years suit you," the colonel suggested after a brief preliminary chat. "OK," replied Puth, without hesitation, and stuck out his fist to bind the bargain.

For the pitching squad there are Beck, Fleury, Ashby, Barham and Itussell catchers trying out will be Edwards, Bliss, and possibly others. Infielders include John Sullivan, Proctor, Ridings, Adolph, Maison, Bishop, Girod, and Fitzmaurice, the latter a former Condon player who has a reputation as a heavy sticker as well as a speedy fielder. Candidates for the outer gar dens are Bliss, Fleury, Steers, Reinhart, Bob Sullivan and .Mac Farland. But the indications are that Sa lem will have markedly stronger competition in the City league than it met in the Greater PoTfel land Valley league last year, an Edwards promises that if the can didates he has lined up now are not equal to the task of holding the strong Portland teams, he will find some players that will. The -date forthe managing com mittee to get together has not yet been set, but the meeting may be Friday evening.

"I appoint him captain as he is a clever and heady player, who has proved he can handle a team well. He sizes up the situation and has the con fidence of his team. "Miles of Idaho was undoubted ly one of the outstanding players of the season. He was the star of tho Idaho team for the last two years. He would make a good running mate to Schuss. "Okerberg of Oregon has been one of the outstanding centers in the west for some time. He is a dead shot, cool and collected all the time. "Westergren of Oregon is the ball-hawk of the conference.

TITLE CONFERENCE TITLE Continued Silence From Whitman Indicates Un willingness to Play Hope for a series between Willamette and Whitman college teams to decide the of games university basketball Northwest conference, title, flickered out completely Tuesday when Coach "Spec" Keene of Willamette, aft er trying for several days to get in touch with "Nig" Borleske, athletic mentor at the Walla Walla school, had still failed to hear from him. Just why Borleske has failed to reply to Keene st telephone calls is a mystery to followers of the hoop game here, for on paper tho Mifl sionaries appeared to have a good chance to win from Willamette if the series was played on a neutral floor. This. Willamette was willing to do in order to get the champion ship decided, although it was th-3 local school's right to play on its own floor this year': But Bor leske's silence indicates that he doesn't want to play it off under any circumstances. The obvious conclusion is that Whitman is figuring on claiming the title on the basis of it3 two extra games with College of Idaho, something that is contrary to the old Northwest conference rules, under which no two teams were to play each other in conference games more than twice a season. Willamette would have an equal right to claim the supremacy on the ground of Whitman's refusal to play it off, but this the Method ists are not planning to do. The result apparently is a deadlock for the title. 19 25 Standard rruick Coach, in excellent condition. Look3 and runs like new car. Otto J. Wil sorf. Tho Buick Man, 388 N. Com'l. Tel. 220.

For the first time since Rick ard gathered the pick of the country's "big men" to fight it out for the privilege of engaging Gene Tunney, the battle route will take two contenders over the maximum distance allowed under the law 15 rounds. And for the second time within two weeks a near capacity throng is expected to pour into the coffers of the Garden gross gate receipts ex ceeding S150.000. It will be by far the greatest indoor "gate" McTigue has at tracted in all his 12 years of bat tling.
