The TrI-Clty League will probably
disband and break up for tho season
Mnnnger Hoyser of tho Salem Tri
Clty League Club received a tele
phono mesjago yesterdny from Secre
tary Smith, asking if ho wished tho
scheduled game with St. Johns here,
pulled off, and the local manager not
being able to see his way clear, said
ho would rather let tho garnq go.
This Jb tho first failure of nny of tho
teams In, tho lenguo to play a tched
uledj.gamo, and owing to the fact;
Secretary Smith seined to npprovo
of Manager Heysor's rofusal to play
St. Johns at this city tomorrow, tho
league will, in all probability, disband
for tho season. For the pa,st fow
weeks, most overy club team In the
lenguo has had n struggle to maki
both ends meet financially, and were
also forcpd to lot good men go nnd
hire cheaper materia; In order that
the team may stand on tomo oven
footing. The direct cause of the
Tri-City League being unable to ex
ist can not bo figured out by the' dif
ferent club managers only that 4ho
attendance to tho games has fallen
on greatly of late, The ball season
!s now JuBt at its height, and all lea
gues are playing the gamo in tho most
careful manner possible, as at thn
end of the next two months tho pen
nant winners, especially along tho
Poclflo coast, can be pointed out al
most to a certainty by nny oVe fol
lowing the records up to date. The
Cherry Pickers had a fighting chance
for the TrI-Clty pennant, they being
only fouth place, with tho other
clubs nbove them winning mostly on
luck, and the Salem fans will regret
that Manager Heyser is compelled to
drop his team without having a fair
opportunity of showing what he could
make out of them. The different
franchise holders in the league will
meet next Tuesday in Portland to
take the matter up, and also make ar
rangements for next season's ball
program. .

that all women must wcor veils in

oxposcd their faces to the public eye.
Tho koran commands absolutely
that no woman of tho faith can ap
pear outb'lde hor house without a veil

ception of a silt for her eye?.
The fact that tho Modems have
taken It upon themselves to cancel

tho tirade of yesterdny railing for

tho realization of tho leaders of the

will not lay down their arms until

The "young Turks" are complete
masters of the situation. They have
succeeded In getting the Macedonian
garribons of tho sultan on their side
because of the failure of the Turkish
government to be prompt with the
boldlers' pay and the revolution has
been so carefully planned that they
have not yet met with defeat.
