Linfield. which was defeated by the Bearcats last week o t 0. protested Willamette's claim ami asked that another srauie be played to determine which institution would play Col b'Ke of Idaho for the conference till", but Dean Erickson ruled that i his would not be proper. The northwest conference rul ing entered into last year was that each school should play two games with the others in the division, both games of which should count in the standings. Authorities at Linfield apparently overlooked this ruling and arranged only one game against every other confer ence ttam. This makes the Wild cats ineligible for the title in spite of th fact that they defeated Puget Sound, and Pacific, losing only the one game to the Bear-1 cat. Willamette defeated Puget Sound twice. Pacific once, and Linfield once, dropping only one contest to the Badgers. The Bearcats are ahead of the Badgers in per centage totals. Pacific has lf. two games. Vflie Willamette batsmen will leave Monday morning with Coach Keene for Caldwell where they will tangle with the Coyotes to settb' superiority in the conference play. The games will be played Wednesday and Thursday there. Tuesday, the team will stop at La : ramie, and play a game against the town team. Coach Keene was at one time manager of a club in iliat city, and be is to' occupy the mound for the locals in an en deavor to strike out some of his former associates. Little hope is held out for vic tories over the Idaho Coyotes as tiier have a wonderful team with big record. That aggregation ""ii five out of six games played .'gainst Whitman college, which ha since scored victories over I niversity of Idaho and Washing ton State college. The Idaho nine has won nearly every game played this year, by comfortable scores. It is a surprise to local follow ers of the games that the Willam ette nine has done so well this season. Many of the men making "p the (cam had little or no know ledge of the game before they ) wit this spring, and there are mily two or three follows ou i lie s.nad who could be called te.iiy good players. And when M' Kenie.

Nicola i, at the Vaughn street grounds. St. Johns vs. Woodstock, at Wall street. Mt. Scot vs. V. O.'-W. 77, at Kendall station. That long delayed battle be tween the Salem Senators and their former team mate, Jimmy Bur ton's Camas outfit, Is scheduled, to be played tcnlay, and prospects Saturday night were that 'the weather man would permit the. game to be played. This game is - doped to be a tough one for the Senators for two reasons, aside from Camas' gene ral strength. The first is that Burton will be behind the bat, telling his pitcher what to feed, his former associates that they don't like; the other is that the aforesaid pitcher will be Tom Gressett, who has always been a hard man for the Senators to cope with. If anything more were needed to make it a hot battle, additional inducement would be found in tho fact that the two teams that meet here today at 2:30 are tied for third plare in the Portland City league race, and that the winner of this game will take a 'firmer grasp on that ,rung of the ladder and be in a commanding position to shoot at the leaders Monta villa and St. Johns.
