The grotto. Bishop's aind Valley Motor compose the second division in respective order. Competition in this league has been keen, with many-close games. Kxtra inning games have occurred several timet;, and good baseball has been 'more abundant than in previous years. Fair crowds have attended these iniitcs's. and particularly the Pa permakers have a following of rabid bleacher wolves that liven all of their games, although the attendance was greater last year. In the other, or Industrial league. playing Tuesday and Thursday evenings, there remains the same amount of playing time. All four teams have a chance, al though some are grasping the last straw of hope. The De Molay nine has come from behind to win several times, while Hansen-Liljequlst and the I'ostoffice have had rather hard sledding. All decke-d out in new iniforms the PEP nine seems to ave taken a new lease on life and looks pretty good. The "arbitering" this year, han dled by Chet Laird and "Petee" Mason, has been, on the whole, satisfactory. The life of a Twilight league umpire is neither sweet nor long, hut usually, when everything is j explained, the umps is right. The work of Roy "Spec" Keene. of Willamette university, as league president, has been exceptionally goed. Keene is also star, initial sa-kerof the Legion club. I ue to extended absence it was recently necessary for Bob Board man to resgn as secretary. Board man has occupied this office for several years, and has been a great favorite to players, managers anil tans. Dodge of the Valley Motor loinpaiiy was elected to-succeed l; irdnian. and will handle thai ml of the wbrk for flu? remainder i i he season. :t BKfiTA, rl., .hnio IH.
