The Sena tor are now leading the league with three others teams tied for second place wtlh two wins and one loss. The locals ought to get a win over the visitors as they have a clean elate so far while the ship company nine, which in a road club, lost all three of Hs starts. The locale will be somewhat crippled, however, as Frisco will more than likely be out ot the lineup on account of his bum leg. Karr is unable to catch bejilnd the bat as he hurt his hand In ths game at Oregon City last Sunday, llarr will more than likely be able tc play his old position In the out field. Edwards is planning on starting Ashby on the mound for the Senators. Ashby has lots ot stuff and will give the Salem fans plenty of action. Towner, Wil lamette receiver, who was with the Senators last year, will prob ably start the game behind the bat although Edwards is not sure as he may pi a himself. The locale have been playing excellent ball so far this season and their opponent will find it tough going to get a decision over the Senators. They are now off on a good start and are hoping to keep on the top. They ought to win the league championship as they have met two ot the tough est clubs In the league In Camas and Crown-Willamette Paper com pany. The Camas team is strong with the services ot Big Bill Kuss twirling, although Kuss is a little handicapped with his old favorite "spitter" barred- in this league. A win for the Senators would give them a good start for the pennant. The papermakers will clash with the Hilsboro nine which will decide one ot the second place teams as both ot them are tied for necond place with a percentage of C67. Hilleboro has not met the locals and their strength is as yet unknown. Vancouver will meet Camas In the other game of the league series. The Camas club lost the opener to the locals by a score of 4 to 2, while the Van couver nine loBt to Salem by a score ot 11 to 3.
