Not next week or tome time In May, but right now. Stat league officials and club representatives here yesterday were unanimous In their belief that the capital city should support a base ball club. One of them, W. L. Mc-j Olnnls, a booster of the national pas time In Silverton, has offered the use of his park for all "home" games and the cost will not be more than actual expense of operation. The ot ter, while constituting a fine ges ture on the part of Mr. McGlnnts, should make Salem fans hang their heads In shame. Silverton with a population of less than 6000 persons, providing a ball park for a city with approximately 30.000 souls I If the offer doesn't create a spark of en thusiasm among the Salem fans, wc might as well continue to enjoy the title of being the most unenthuslas tk; aggregation of humans on the Pacific coast Frank Nelson, who had no Idea of getting back into base ball until shortly before yester day's meeting, has agreed to see what he can do." He lives at 106S North Church and playera or others Interested should call on him there. But do it during the evening hours; he's too busy with his own affairs during the daytime. Two or three years ago we had a number of good ball players. But dropping out of or ganised ball for a season has re aulted In these men scattering. Some are playing with Silver ton: others have advanced to higher class baseball. A guaran tee of $100 will have to be put on the line before Salrm can en ter the league. This will be re turned at the end of the seas on, should the club finish the schedule. In addition to the SI 00, the league voted to levy an as sessment of 925 against each elub for publicity purposes. An expense of not to exceed (10 will be charged against each unit of the league to care for the ex penses of the president, who heretofore haa been digging Into his own pocket for travel char ge. Plgures have not been made avail able, but It la evident the absence of Portland from the stale tournament bad little effect on the total attend ance. In spite of the fact that Amity was the sole survivor of the cham pionship round from the Willamette Talley, Interest In this year's show held up well. The gymnasium was not packed Saturday nlht but It is doubtful If more than 100 additional persona could have found seats. The efficiency of the organization devel oped by Coach R. 8. Keene has be come proverbial and this year's pro gram was carried out like clockwork. The physical plant la in need of ad ditions and betterments. These will come in due course If the tournaia'nt Is to continue to grow and remain the outstanding amateur sports event of the year.

Salem, Albany May Return to Bush Circuit George Wllhelm or Eugene was re-elected president of the Oregon State baseball league as representa tives of a number of clubs met here Sunday for their Initial spring con ference. W. L. McOinnls of silverton was named vice-president, and Ray Brooks, Portland, secretary. The league will have at least five clubs this season Bend, Toledo, Sil verton, Eugene and Hills Creek. Sa lem and Albany may enter the cir cuit, depending upon financial-and player response. A second meeting to determine the league setup will be held at Albany within the next two or three weeks. Woodburn. Sweet Home and Reedsport will not enter the league this season, while Coqullle, a possi ble entrant, has also decided not to participate. Inability to get Jobs for players at Coqullle was the reason advanced. The league voted to demand guar antees of $100 from each club to In sure completion of the schedule while $25 additional will be contri buted from each unit to provide a fund for publicity and Incidental expenses. An expense account of not to exceed $60 was voted the presi dent. The league adopted an official ball which will bear the name of the organization and President Wllhelm. Rules governing players and elimi nation of spectators from the play ers bench will be worked out by the league oflicers and sent to Individ ual clubs. It Is probable the league will use officials Irom the umpires' associa tion, an organization which was represented yesterday by Bill Hay den of Portland. Frank Nckon, business manager for the Senators, will Investigate tile possibility of placing a Salem team in the lengue. Vice-President Mc Oinnls has offered the use of the Silverton Held for all "home" games for Salem should the latter decide to enter. A small charge, covering exjienses, would be made the Salem entrant. Nelson has little idea as to the availability of players, consequently he has suggested that players who believe they are capable of playing State league ball, visit him at his home 1005 North Church street, evenings.

Guy Patrick, Vancou ver mai.HKer, protested Portland's victory claiming Holmes had not played Scott's regular position. President Taylor .said the matter was referred to a vote of league di rector, who upheld the protest. He said he had ordered the game replayed, but Rowe had refused.

Not since 1931 when the Pendleton Buckaroos rode to the throne under the direction of Coach Fritz Kramer, has an eastern Oregon outfit been able to win all four games of a state tournament aeries until the Baker Bulldogs came through Saturday night to clear Amity, the final ob stacle, 37 to 18. St. Helens, making its first appearance In tournament play In many years, captured third place by easing McLoughlln out of the picture in the consolation finals 30 to 16. Amity's cone defense kept Coach Allison's Bulldogs at bay during the first half, In fact the cagers from Yamhill county placed such a tight cordon around their basket that their opponents were able to pierce it for but three field baskets and as many foul shots for a total of 10 pounds. In the meantime Amity had succeeded in scoring 10. The second half saw Baker fulfill the predictions of the knowing ones when the Bulldogs entered the tour nament the team to beat and Amity wasn't able to accomplish It. Whipping the ball about in rapid fashion. Baker eventually cracked the tight zone defense and Ragsdale, Sowers and Colson either broke through for close In shots or stood back of the foul circle to pot long ones. St. Helens had virtually no diffi culty in downing the club which had previously won two "sudden death" engagements. After a slow first per iod which found Mac high leading 4 to 3, Coach Franlz boys got down to business and were out in front 16-4 at the intermission.
