College Twirler Will

In Warm Game With
Albany Sunday
"Art" Berg, University of Ore
gon twirler, will place his foot in
the box Sunday afternoon at Ox
ford park when the Salem Sena
tors open up against the Albany
baseball nine for the third time.
Salem fans became acquainted
with Mr. Berg's methods of doing
business when he worked with Sa
lem against the Standard Oil team
last Monday. The Portlanders were
defeated by a score of eight to
two.
Berg was selected by Manager
Jack Hayes, of the Senators, after
considerable consideration of a
number of available pitchers.
Hayes believes him to be best fit
ted to cope with the team of slug
gers which Albany claims Bhe will
dispatch to this city for the con
test this week-end. Berg is one
of the coolest heads ever developed
in th unlvrsity city and sldom fails
to ris to any emergency.
Lodell on First
Carl Lodell, of Corvallis, will
be on the first station for Salem
and Speck Keene, who has worked
some with the local aggregation,
will be with Albany. Keene's hit
ting has been a feature of SuSnday
ball for several weeks past.
Word from Albany says that the
visitors will charter two special
cars to make the trip to Salem, and
that a large number of the Albany
fans will come by automobile.
Sunday's game, it is -believed, will
be the biggest drawing card of the
season.

Organization
Organization of the Oregon Co
operative Grain Growers associa
tion in Marion county began last
night with a mass meeting in the
Evergreen school near Silverton at
which the plans of the associa
tion were presented to the grain
growers of that section. Repre
sentatives of the association plan
to stage a three weeks campaign
in the county and expect to con
tract for 50 per cent of the grain
raised in this section, according
to C. A. Barnes, assistant organi
zation manager, who was in Sa
lem yesterday.
The Oregon association is plan
ned as a unit of the national as
sociation, with headquarters in
Chicago, whose organization is go
ing on simultaneously with that
cpnducted ETAOI etaoi shrdl ss
which is now being conducted in
the grain growing states.
According to Mr. Barnes, the
plan of the association calls for a
six-year contract for the pooling
and marketing of grain by al
members through the national or
ganlzatlon. Farmers will receive
a uniform price for grain of the

The association will be financed
largely through the local banks,
according to representatives, the
loan value on the wheat receipts
being advanced to the producers.
Officers of the organization
have recently been working In
Clackamas county, and will grad
ually work Into Marion county
for the campaign here. Through
out Washington and Idaho approx
mately 30,000,000 bushels of
grain are already under contract,
according to the estimate of Mr.
aBrnes, and the progress in Clack
amas county is reported to be fav
orable. The general manager of the as
sociation at present is George Jew
ett, formerly secretary treasurer
of th Federal land bank of Spo
kane. A. R. Shumway, president
of the Farmers Union of Oregon,
is president of the board of di
rectors. According to the representatives
the association is meeting with
the approval of such bodies as the
state grange, the farm bureau and
the farmers' union. The market
ing scheme is Identical with that
used by the fruit interests in the
noon in the Rose city by Salem.
The score was 7 to 4.
Having defeated five college
teams this season, Columbia uni
versity has an unusually brilliant
record and the game bere tomor
row will likely be well worth wit
nessing. Little "busher" ball was seen in
yesterday's contest at Portland,
aud only one error was chalked
against Salem during the aine
innings. Much cradit for the vic
tory has been placed on the
shoulders of Ashby and Caughlll,
who made up the local battery.
The work of Stockton, Columbia
catcher, was highly praised by
Coach "Tubby" Hendricks, of the
Salem team.
In .yesterday's game Max .-nes
was substituted for "ePts" Rein

Hendricks, was the best inter
