Three days ago Ronwr K.! Jones of . Bremerton, president of . the Northwest baseball -league, stated that night base bell in all six elUee !m the north wrest circuit tuu been assured. Most , of them have had night baseball for -several years and have been drawing big; crowd regularly so regularly, in fact,1 that, the Northwest league Is one of the most successful bosh loops la the country. It's a faet league. . s What Is this Northwest league anyway? WelL it's made up of eix clubs in Tacoma, Shelton, Olym pia. Bellingham, Taklma and Bremerton. Tacoma is the big gest town, Bellingham and Tak lma next. Only Tacoma is much bigger than Salem. What's the point? The nolni a Is that six medium sized towns in Washington have a faet semi pro baseball league that packs .them in to its night games and that six medium mixed towns in Oregon have nothing more than a Sunday league that, except on rare occasions,' doesn't - draw enough to buy a bottle of pop i or ine oat Doy. Let's comnare the towns of the Northwest league with the towns of a possible Oregon State league. This isn't the state league as It now exists. It's just a little more ambitious and would entail in stalling a few ball parks. Here's we cowns: N.W. leagu Pop." f 19S01 SUU learn Pop. Tatoma 106,81?

With no intentions of hurting Woodburn's feelings and with the obvious reason that its pop ulation of 1075 is a little low for this hypothetical state league it has been replaced by Astoria. Whether or not Astoria wants In my league or even likes baseball I don't know. Astoria, It would be objected; is too long a jump for j Bend and Eugene, an objection true enough for the Sunday ball now played but not so in a league that would possibly play three or four times WAIHINOTON in Washington Most Amtmcans rely on The Associated Press for Washington news. Th'ey jean count on this supply of reliable and accurate information in 1937 because:. 1. The AJ. tradition demands complete facts, and that goes for; Washington as for any spot on earth. 2. The AP. has the largest stall of news men' in the capital. . trained to hunt facts on a wide front, to cover every angle of every story. i -i . " 3. Years of reporting Washington news has given this 6taff a background of experience, and has taught them that guessing is not reporting. , 1937 will be another big year in Washington. The Associated Press will cover Vashington in 1937 as it has in the past completely and reliably. DAILY h e Ore g 6 a week and in which the ball play ers would receive more remunera tion than mere cigarette money. It may be shooting ' at the moon' but it's a lead pipe cinch that bosh baseball will never amount 'to much around here unless there is a night league eetabliehed. Sunday crowds , have been growing more pitiful year by year while night attend ance at sot tball games has been . growing steadily. It's night en tertainment the public : wants now and unless semi-pro . ball . players want to continue being more tvuni than pro that's what ' they've got to furnish. Salem has possibilities of, get ting a ball park where night ball could be played. One would be the transformation, by cutting away a few banks and tearing down an old grandstand, of the Willamette field into a park of baseball pro portions. The other would be a development on the -big Leslie field now being built by WPA money. All the other towns have lighted football fields that might possibly be converted into baseball parks. o As far as that goes It doesn't matter much about the means. There is Just the fact that If there's going to be a live base ball league in this state, it'll have to play night ball. And I'd like to see the State league and the Salem Senators in partic ular begin thinking about it. - 7 30 Rounds Boxing Slated Tonight at. AMITT, Jan." 27.
