Newspapers down: at the Sun set Trail city are already claim ing that Eugene's American Le gion Junior baseball team has won the western Oregon champ ionship and the right to play the eastern Oregon champions in the finals at the state legion conven tion here August 9. j L Eugene's team may play here on that occasion, but there's formidable obstacle still in its path the Silverfon outfit. These Silverton boys have won every game played by m big margin. Competition may have been tougher in the southern part of the state, bat Eugene won from Medford by only one ran, 7 to t, and ha& to stage a ninth inning rally to do it. "An athletic coach is either a prince or a pauper." said Hollis Huntington at the .ions club luncheon Friday. "He's a prince if he wins and a pauper if he los es. Nobody cares whether he has any material 6r not. When you hear of a coach getting a big sal ary, you can Just figure that he is entitled to every cent of it, be cause he may hot be coaching for very long. I "Nobody but the superintend ent knows whfether an English teacher is any! good, and he may just be guessing ; but the whole communoty kiow3 whether the athletic coach gets results or not." If Hontington is right and there are feir who will contra diet him -4h'e coaches at Uni versity of Oregon must all be princes Just f now. 1 "The University of Oregon ath letic teams ealoyed their most successful season in history the school year o 1928-29," says the Eugene Guard, mentioning among other things (that the Webfoots defeated Oregon State in - every thing excepting cross country.

It's all tnje. and still we seem to recall that there 'was the usual alumni rumble last fall when the California grid teams were jwralklng over Ore gon. That was before it won from Oregon; State and Wash ington State. Suds Sutherland took a terrif ic beating up from i an$ry fans when he umpired a ball game at Ballard. We wondered why he wasn't here last Sunday. But we can't point any moral, because Suds always impressed us as a cheerful roughneck who -didn't go in for umpire baiting himself. Though we may not have seen him when the shoe was pinching. Now if it had been Ike Wolf er or Spec Bnrke, Who will be hero again Sunday, we would have enjoyed reading about it. Those boys never let an umpire think he's good. The House of David boys help ed put out a fire in the grand stand at Tacoma Thursday.. Hope they haven't any smouldering coals left ia their uniforms when they come here next Wednesday. We need our erandstand for the I American Legion convention.! the close of the season, there is nothing1 which carl be done about the protest, the head of the league said. The fact was that the Crocery men did not have enough players at the start of the season who were eligible under the rather j strict requirements of that league.) Mr. Ritchie said. In order to! qualify a fourth team, the 'other claba voted to make several men ! utes, defeated Daniel Prenn, Ger eligible who did not fulfill the , man national champion, S-6, fi-3, employment requirements; j G4, 6-3. It was true that the team lost ' i some of its original players, and ! the managers might have felt !n - clined to permit some new rexis - tration, but certain unpleasant situations which had arisen, ap parently disposed them not to make this concession. j Of the original Grocerymen's; team, onlr two men. played through the season. It was stated. Two of the protests against this team were upheld, the decisions coming near the end of. the season when the Grocerymen could aot put a team of eligible men in the field, so that it was forced to for feit these games and finished the season with k record of four garnet won and four lost, according to the president.
