Jack O'Brien Says Prospect
For Western Tri- State
Is Excellent.
A SURE THING, SAYS
BASEBALL PROMOTER
Meeting Will Be Held Here
Before February Is To
Decide Teams.

Enough applications have been re-
ceived from various towns in the In
land Empire" said Jack O'Brien, pro-
moter of the Western Tri-state league,
this afternoon, ito insure the success
of the league. The great difficulty that
now confronts us is to keep the number
of cities represented down to the min
imum by which the move can be made
satisfactory to all concerned"
Some time prior to Tuesday, Febru-
this city to act upon applications for
to the league. ana rep
r. <ol ative from practically every 'ts. {.
of any Importance in this section is ex-
pected to be present. 1t now looks like
an eightteam league, according to Mr..
O'Brien, who has canvassed the situa-
ton thoroughly, and applications have
already been received from ten cities.
Mr.. O'Brien will be unable to parti-
cipate in any of the game this season,
owing to an injury suffered last year,
but he proposes to take charge of the
Walla Walla aggregation and bring
home the pennant. The season will
open May IA, and at the conference to
be held here this month, the schedules
are to be made out, embracing those
cities successful in becoming members
of the league.
Among the applications now on file
are those from Boise, Nampa, Baker
City, LaGrande, Walla Walla, Lewiston,
Moscow, North Yakima, Colfax and
co-KenneWick. Pendleton will will
probably not become a member, as
the situation there is said to be any
thing but favorable for the support of
team such as would be required to
travel in the class proposed for the
western Tri-state. Mr.. O'Brien already
has communicated with gilt edged ball
tossers who may be secured, and anna
teurs are to be barred from all contests.
the aim being to give people of this
section some "Class c." ball of the
highest order.

Awnings
Must Go

wooden awnings in the city of Wal

council to permit the awnings on
North Fourth and South Fourth street
to remain, but on motion of Council

For the first time in four years the

Gus RhOel
Receivers

Gus. Rhoel, a resident of Auburn,
who was shot in the head several
weeks ago by a policeman, who claims
he was drunk, is on the road to recOv-
cry, according to letters received by
friends in this city. 1t was thought
by many here who knew the young
man that he had succumbed to his
injuries, but although he was shot
six times and struck on the head with
a revolver, he is practically out of
danger.
Mr. Rhoel is well known in this sec
ton of the state, having at one time
been a resident of Unatilla county,
where he operated a large farlc. He
has relatives living III this city, ard
to them has been sent word that he
is on the road to recovery.

BURSTS

Through the carelessness of Charley
Hicks, who neglected to open the es-
ape valve at the proper time, the hot
yater heater for the dressing rooms at
he Keylor Grand theater exploded this
morning, scalding Hicks about the head
md limbs, and putting this part of the

we're dressed, and it is not thought he
S seriously hurt.
The heater which exploded this
morning is separate from the apparatus
us with which the main building is
warmed, and little inconvenience VIII
'esult from the accident, save in the
lressing rooms. Manager Catron an
,ounced this afternoon that the per-
ormance, "As the Sun Went Down

Top O. TIL World is scheduled for
omorrow evening.
Workmen have been secured to re-
air Z damage caused by the explo-
;'on, and to install a new heater for
he dressing rooms. AS the heater was
lot a portion of the main plant, the
,ouse will be comfortable for the per-
ormanDe tonight, and patrons of the

be experienced by members of the
ompany who may find it necessary to
make rapid change of costumes in the
