NEW LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING
Representative* Krom Lower Colum­
bia River District Show Spirit
Over Creation of Eight
Team Organization
According to information ra­
ceived from Astoria, state* the
Clatskanie Chief, Astoria ha*
withdrawn from the Columbii
river league, owing to lack of
a suitable ground for baseball.
Another meeting of the league
will probably be called immed­
iately and it is likely that Ryder­
wood will be taken in to fill
Astoria’s place.
The adjourned meeting of the
Lower Columbia Baseball league
held at stevedore headquarters Mon
day night, was one of the most
largely attended gatherings of base­
ball fans ever held in this district
representatives being present from
Astoria, Clatskanie, Warrenton, Ver
nonia, Camas, Klama, Washougal ami
St. Helens. President Glen R. Met-
sker presided over the deliberations
of the session, and his enthusiasm
gave added spirit to the 'proceedings
It was decided, after considerable
discussion, to form an eight team
league, and this will be comprised of
Astoria, Clatskanie, Camas, Kalama
St. Helens, Vernonia, Warrenton and
Washougla. Ryderwood was anxious
to become identified with the newly
created organization, but that place
was voted out of the running in fav­
or of Warrenton, between which
towns a tie existed. The decision re
mained with President Metsker, and
this Oregon Landis turned the triek
for Warrenton.
Although the playing schedule has
not been submitted by the secretary
it is known that the opening date is
set for May 2, when St. Helens will
try conclusions with the Vernonia
team on the local grounds.
In the
meantime Manager Conyer’s colts
will frisk on the greensward a3 fre­
quently as opportunity offers in prep,
aration for a winning season. There |
are surprises up the sleeve of the
manager that he refuses to release
even to the confidence of the press,
but it may be surmised that it per­
tains to players of materially
strengthening the material already
in hand. Last season’s team was
composed of very efficient players as
a whole, but there were weak spots
and it is probably these insufficien­
cies that Mr. Conyer has in mind.
The Spalding company offers a
valuable trophy to the winning team
and this will prove an additional in­
centive to the several towns to car­
ry off the pennant. The trophy is a
silver loving cup and will be en­
graved and presented to the winners
at the close of the season.—St. Hel­
ens Sentinel.

HATS OFF TO THE WOMEN
•
Who started this “clean-up” day
and days in Vernonia? The effect is
being talked about in the press of
the state, because Vernonia made a
good job of it, and the populace will
Bee to it that the clean-up dayt will
last all summer. Who started it?
The women, of course. A Woman’s
Civic slub sprung the idea, passed
it on to the schools, the Boy Scouts
and the American Legion, and the
work was accomplished.
Let the
women see to it that the good work
continues. To them we we are giving
much credit.

Ray Mills was home over the week
end from Pacific university at For­
est Grove visiting with relatives.
The second match staged by the
Vernonia Boxing commission was
held last Friday night in the* Rose
theatre building with a goodly
crowd present. Six bouts were on
the bill for that evening. The cur­
tain raiser between Don Brady and
Andy Raymer, proved the merit of
the two young Ve:nonia boys, which
came to a draw.
Bob Raymer and
Charles Ritz in the second, went for
three rounds with Raymer winning
the decision. Young Manuel of Ver­
nonia fought Young Faber from St.
Paul in a four round bout with Fa­
ber taking the carpet and count in
the second. Yoson and Balthazar
both of Vernonia fought six rounds
with Yoson given the decision. The
ten round bout between Claire Bro-
meo and Billie Burke, went the en­
tire period but Bromeo was disquali­
fied >n th* second for being in no
shape to fight, but with the decision
of the udge and patrons were allow­
ed to go the full rounds, with Burke
getting the decision. The shape Bro­
meo was in for this fight made him
practically useless and he would have
made a better farmer with his '.vide
haymakers. The bouts for next week
promise to surpass any that have
yet been shown and will be com­
posed of all home talent and all
fans are assured and exceptional
card.
