PILE UP VICTORIES GALORE
By Ralph Curtis
-Organization of a brand new
Willamette valley baseball league
which will be without dispute the
banner aeml-pro circuit of the
state, will be effected at a meet
ing in Salem Friday erenlnt;. Feb
ruary 10.
? Instead of being; a re-ramped
edition of the old Portland City
league, this one will start with a
clean slate and an entirely new
lineup of clubs, although Just what
teams will be in It aside from Sa
lem. Albany and Eugene, is not
T9t certain.
In fact, baseball magnates in
these three towns are tasulng an
invitation for any club in the val
ley to send a representative to this
meeting, and there is room for
three more of them in the league.
so it is probable that a number
will be on hand with applications
tl for admittance.
Portland clubs will be consider
edalong with the rest, but the in
dications are now that none of the
teams which were in the City
t Affue laet year will be members:
and neither will those that were
In the Portland Valley league.
These two circuits are combin
ing and voluntarily cutting down
the class of ball; that is. they
will make a rule that only pitchers
and catchers-may receive pay for
laying, and that will virtually
make It a league of Juvenile play
ers.
Two teams that may possibly be
enrolled in the new valley league
xe the Shell Oil company team of
Portland, and a McMlnnville club.
The latter city is all set to break
Into the baseball world again and
Its presence would add to the in
ter-city rivalry which will be an
Asset of this new circuit.
Another possibility is that Bend.
Car away as it is, max, be admit
ted, but the indications are that
If it is. it will be for the second
half of the season only. Games
between Bend and valley teams
will hardly be feasible until after
the McKenzle pass opens, and the
date of that occurrence is proble
matical, although the highway de
partment has ben breaking a way
through the snow earlier in the
last two years than it did previous
ly. The plan is, if Bnd is admit
ted, to doo only for m ten weeks'
season, which would require, the
alley clubs to make only one trip
each across the mountains, while
fiend would make only two or
three trips to the valley, playing
two games each time it came.
BAMBINO AVERS
HE'S ALL RIGHT
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 3.
CAP). Babe Ruth today denied
reports that he was overweight
and asserted that he would be in
better condition at the opening of
the spring training than he was
last year.
He said be was five, pounds
lighter now than during the 1927
bass ball season and that he had
ever felt better. Ruth came here
tor a brief visit with Jack Schae
fer, a personal friend.
"l feel as fit as ever." said the
bambino, "I tip the old scales at

WILLAMETTE I
BASKETEERS
With examinations out of the
way, the Willamette university
Bearcats will take on Ashland
Normal here tonight in a game
which is expected to whip them
into scoring form for the three
tough conference tilts next week
against Lin field and Whitman.
Ashland holds a victory over
the Japanese , team of Waseda
university and Monmouth Normal
school, and numbers among its
players two or three Medford
high graduates who starred at the
game. Willamette can win eas
ily if the players are in scoring
form.
Coach "Spec" Keene said last
night that he might start some of
the substitutes to see if they
could make any progress, before
running; in his stellar performers.
The game will Be preceded at
7:15 by a claah between Wood-
burn high school and the Wil
lamette freshmen.
After a return tilt at McMlnn
ville against Llnfleld college
Tuesday night, the Bearcats will
come back to Salem, pack their
grips and set out on a five game
tour into Washington and Idaho.
The tough assignment comes
next Thursday ana r naay ai
Walla Walla, when they buck up
against the Whitman Missionaries.
The conference title will be at
take. If Willamette can take one
of these games and then topple
Puget Sound twice, the 192
trophy will find Its place in the
local case, for Whitman plays
fewer games than Willamette.
Coach Keene will take not
more than eight men on the trip
and probably only seven.
