the publicity committee of the Cham
Der Of Commerce and Theodore b.
Wilcox, chairman Of the executive
committe Of the Portland Commercial
club have issued the call, which has

The call says The purpose OF this
gathering IL TO bring together the
representatives OF the most prosper
GUS section OF the United States,
and after a thorough consultation,
unite upon plan to advertise the ac-
tual resources, and not to exploit the
peculiar advantages Of the cities.
Every city and town in the four
states Is equally interested In seeur-
ing the home builder, for II Is only
through increased population that We
cRn develop these tremendous re-
sources. @E
The railroads will grant low rates
~ all delegates. One line OF work
fpr the convention will be to take
steps TO induce the Legislature for
the four states interested to make ap.
Preparations for advertising the

The queer thing about baseball this
year is the way the pitchers are being
hit. There is not a pitcher in either
league but what is getting his bumps
this season. Men that Were practically
invtncible last season are 'in and out
ers" this year. Speedy pitching counts
for very little in the game now. Those
pitchers with fine cross fire have
bothered the batsmen most. but this
style Of work. like the spit ball, soon
wears a man out until he is of little
use to his team. Years ago pitchers de-
pended on change Of pace and good
headwork, and they are returning to
the old style once more.
