E Large Crowd Will See Albany Clash with Hulens Canadians Tomorrow. MAYOR GILBERT, PIRTLE, THRASHER TO TAKE PART Nothing Can Prevent Big Con test Providing the Weather Remains Good. T BANKERS MEET Big Convention Convened This Afternoon at Salem With a Large Delegation Present. NUMBER OF ALBANY AND LEBANON BANKERS ATTEND First Meeting in History of the Association; Representatives from Every City Present. Continued from Saturday, April 19. Nothing but inclement weather can ire vent the auspicious opening of the laschall season here tomorrow after noon when the local team will clash for the first time with the candidates for Manager Hulen's IU'rmki, Western Canadian league team. The tfame will be played at the Athletic park south of the Southern Pacific depot and will be called promptly at 3 o'clock. MauaKer Senders has kept tab on the weather by means of the baro meter and is of the opinion that the day will he fair and if this be the case it is believed that, fully 500 enthusi astic, wild eyed, and boisterous fans will be nestled in the bleachers when Mayor Gilbert pitches the first ball ever the plate. The , Riime was scheduled to be played 'last Sunday but owing to the weather it was impracticable to give the exhibition and accordingly it was deferred until tomorrow. Although members of the Albany team have not been together fo'r practice since the first game the middle of last week when it played Nick William's North western league "Colls," the players, nevertheless, have been receiving vig ilent practice, both individually and with other aggregations at their re spective homes. It is believed that-the local team will make a better showing against Kegina than the O. A. C. team t,i in l.(.th the games, tint :-uvr'j?-l-on r'ijcd with the C-mndia;, wh.'n t!1' t. Ugians were defeatc I in bcth conreMy ';..nager Mulct) .t.im nine.' I lit' 1 bunch is in the pink of condition for the game but he is of the opinion that his men will have to play fast ball to cope with the Albany fellows. The Uegiua boys have been receiving a steady grind of practice since open ing training headquarters in this city nearly two weeks ago and they are reputed to be an exceedingly strong aggregation. Judging from the pre vailing sentiment of local fans it is derived that the probable result of the game is doubtful and a splendid con It st is looked for. Local baseball enthusiasts have worked hard to get up a large crowd ol fans to attend the game and makV the day a gala one, and the result is that nearly 500 fans are expected In assemble at (he park prior to J t clock. Nit seats are reserved except in the grandstand, ami it will be a case of first come first served. Alter everyone has assembled on the field, the umpire will call the game, whin Mayor Gilbert will be escorted to lite pitcher's box by the two man agers, tirant I'irtle will be arrayed with a catcher's mask, glove and breast protector, while Charles Thrasher will be given a bat and sta tu ned in the bailer's bos. Mavor Gilbert will pitch the first ball un miuiMe before o'clock after which the big contest will he on. To see these three men, who are ranked among Ihe heavy weights of the city, in action v. ill practically be worth the price of admission in itself and the sight promises to be an exceedingly iiiter'.-sMiig one. 1 1 is believed ilia) this ceremony alone would insure the atti ml:. nee of a large crowd. It is the intension of Manager Scniitrs lo pitch Taierson and Higher aeainst the Keginas, while llulen will semi K: tikin ami Irwin on the firing line. Dave Patterson will catch for Albany and Haker will perform the back stop stunt for Uegiua. The following are the line-ups: A' bauy. 1, Patterson, c; Colbert, lb; Swan. Jb; I .ce. ss; liigbcc, ,h; A.

A convention of bankers of the sec ond district of Oregon is being held in Salem this afternoon. The dis trict consists of Linn, Benton, Lin coln, Marion and Polk counties. The state has been divided into districts of five or six counties each for con venience of members. Those going from Albany were A. C. Schrnitt and O. A Archibald of the First National Bank; H. B. Cusick, of the J. W. Cu sick & Co's. bank; Neil Bain of the Albany State Bank, and J. C. Irvine of the First- Savings bank. S. M. Garland, of the First National Bank of Lebanon, and C. E. Hawkins, of the Toledo bank, also went, going on the 9 o'clock train. The meeting, which is the first in the history of the association, was called in the Illthce club rooms at 1:30 o'clock, and is is expected that bankers from nearly every town and city in the group will be present. The experience and advice of other groups is to make these group gath erings as informal as possible and for this reason no set program has been provided. The Salem banks have secured sixty scats at the opera house this evening and the visiting members will be entertained in the usual manner characteristic of Salem people. After the organization has been completed ami the permanent offi cers elected members will be expected to participate in discussion; of up to date subjects of interest 'to every bank and banker in the group. Some of the subjects, already suggested are uniform taxation, cost accounting, in terest on deposits, escrow charges, cx changc rates, etc., The object is to keep away from subjects that are like ly, to be long drawnout and discuss topics only which are nearest home and of more local interest to all. Wives of the visiting bankers are expected also and will be invited to participate in the enjoyment of the evening entertainment at the opera.

Declaring that Albany is one of the best cities he has visited in the entire state, but expressing his surprise at the fact that the citizens have thus far failed to provide the business sec tion with a uniform system of street lighting, A. E. Scott, editor of the Washington County News-Times of Forest Grove this morning gave out an interview to the Democrat in which he tells of the street lighting system in his home town. "Forest Grove is a city of only 2500 people, and is said to be the most attractive town of its size in the west. Last fall the citizens installed a sys tem of cluster lights throughout the business section of the city and no improvement made thus far except the paving, had added so much to the beauty of the place or given so much satisfaction to the people. The posts and lights were installed by the busi ness men themselves and as far as I have been able to ascertain the in vestment has already paid more than 100 per cent on the dollar. Dr. W. R. Bilyeu and Harry Schlos ser left this morning on a Portland trip. . . r Mrs. Claud Vunk'went to Lebanon this morning.
