DISTRICT 4 COMMIS­
SIONER PLEASED AT
TOURNAMENT
The following letter was re­
ceived this week by the Vernonia
Softball League regarding the con­
duct of the district 4 tournament
held here recently. Favorable com­
ment was made by the Commis­
sioner of District No. 4, Martin
Burlingame of St. Helens.
The
letter follows:
This belated letter is to let you
know that I appreciated the way
you conducted the district tourna­
ment this year. You and the other
officers 'of the Vernonia League
r.re to be congratulated upon the
sportsmanship and courtesies shown
by the fans at the games.
I had the opportunity of seeing
the State President, Mr. Collins,
at Salem, and told him of the fine
tournament we had, unmarred by
any complaints by any of the com­
peting teams.
I wish to state at this time, that
even though we had the misfor­
tune to lose our game at the State
Tournament, I still consider the
Vernonia game the toughest one we
had to plcy all year. If Henderson
continues to pitch the type of ball
he did against us in that game, you
fellows will, no doubt, have the
honor of representing this district
in the State Tournament in the
very near future.
Hoping that some of you will be
able to attend the State Softball
Association meeting in the spring,
I will probably see you there. These
meetings are as important as the
game itself, as there you will meet
and discuss your problems with
other softball leaders of the state,
ard in that way improve your own
league and playing conditions.
Again thanking you for the won
derful maPner in which you con­
ducted your tournament, I remain
Sincerely, Martin Burlin­

the story is the same as Baum

children and adults alike. It tells

she meets a Scarecrow who wants

courage. Dorothy, who has been

EX-CHAMP, McLAGLEN’S
MOST VITAL PORTRAYAL—
Which is more precious—your
own honor, or that of your child?
That is the question facing Vic­
tor McLaglen in the role of an ex­
champion fighter, in his new Uni­
versal production, “Ex-Champ,” at
the Jjy Theatre next Wednesday.
McLaglen is forced to make the (
decision when he discovers that his I
son has embezzled a huge sum ofI
money, and must replace it imme­
diately to prevent scandal and sub­
sequent imprisonment. As the man­
ager of a boxer about to engage in
a championship match, he realizes
he can keep his son from disgrace
and prison by betting on his fighter
to lose and then doping the boxer
to make the issue certain. The se­
quence in which McLaglen, as the
henest, upright and conscientious
old fighter, is faced with this deci­
sion is one of the most gripping
McLaglen has ever portrayed be­
fore the camera.
