II Balem wanU semi-pro baseball
now la the time to act. 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.
Buckaroos Voted
Out of Puck Title
Portland, March 31 The Port
land Buckaroos, even up with Van
couver In the Pacific coast hockey
league semi-finals, were out of the
running today.
League President Fred Taylor last
night announced the semi-final vic
tory had been awarded to the Van
couver Lions, who will open the fi
nal play-offs against Seattle in Van
couver tonight,
The action followed a controversy
ovtr the use by Portland last week
of Louie Holmes of the Seattle Clip
pers to replace Chubby Scott, who
was Injured. 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.
"I'm wondering if they (Seattle
and Vancouver) are playing for the
league title or for the championship
of Vancouver," Rowe said last night.

Baker Takes Trophy
To Eastern
Baker, the "air conditioned city" of eastern Oregon, held
the championship of the basketeers today. 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.

In Cage Play
The majority of spectators, play
ers and coaches congratulated the
Baker Bulldogs today as one of the
fastest and smoothest combinations
to win a championship in the 19
years of state high school basket
ball tournaments.
The Bulldogs, the second eastern
Oregon title winner In history,
dropped in 47 field goals in 147 at
tempts, establishing a four-game ,
average of .320. Bellfountain av
erased .306 in capturing the cham
pionship last season and Corvallls
.317 in 1936.
Baker's rapid fire attack discard
ed dribbling and substituted .harp
passing. The fact thai Waymon
Colson, the Bulldogs' highest scorer,
was only the fifth In the individual
point list bore out Coach "Stub"
Allison's claim that tne combina
tion was a well-balanced scoring
unit.
