Eugene will enter the baseball field this year with an independent team that, on paper, looks stronger than any aggregation that ever flew ' the local colors. The baseball situa- | tion is not well developed in the Wil lamette valley, but the present out look is this: Eugene will have an unusually good team; there will be no Willamette valley league; Spring field wtit pTohabiy have no team; Al bany. Salem and Portland will have teams to plaj- against Eugene, but the season i > yet too early to prepare a schedule. There appears to be more baseball enthusiasm this year in Eu gene than for some time, and it is possible that the Eugene merchants may come forward and back a team that will win laurels for the city. The team will be under the old manage- ment, in the hands of Jay McCor- mick. There is a host of material from which a fast team may be selected. The battery, which will be a strong feature, will consist of Ferd Henkle and Wagers, or possibly Hurd and Wagers. It is not certain whether Paul Lynch, the Syracuse coach of Two for Cruel and Inhuman tlie University will consent to play, but if he does the team will have an Treatment and Third for infielder of considerable note.
