THE BIG GAMES

PI0NSHIP AT THIS GAME-JER.
MAN CHALLENGES GRESHAM
GIANTS FOR CHAMPIONSHIP OF
STATE,

That Manager Jerman is determined
to not only capture the Valley league
pennant this year. but that he also is
after the semi-professional champion
ship honors for the state of Oregon
was indicated late yesterday afternoon
when the Senator's manager made the
announcement that he has already
arranged for a game with one of the
teams from the Washington County
league nd that he also will meet Man
ager Bartholomew Gresham Giants
if Bartholomew will only answer his
letter asking for a game.
The Salem team won the first of a
three-game series for the Valley
league championship, last Sunday on
the local diamond. If Jerman's bunch
wins next Sundays game the Senators
will capture the league pennant. An
other game probably will be played
on Monday, Labor day. If Salem wins
| Sunday. Mondays game probably will
be an independent exhibition game in
connection with Salem's celebration
of Labor day. If Hunts sluggers win
next Sunday, however, 1t will make
game each for the two teams, and
the contests on Monday will be the
deciding one of the season.
The Washington County league,
comprising teams from Hillsboro
Carlton, McMinnville and Newberg,
will finish their season next Sunday
1t is the opinion of those who have
followed the games in the Washington
county league that the McMinnville
team will take the championship hon
ors. Manager Jerman has already
completed arrangements to meet Nc
Minnville on the Salem grounds Sun
day, September 10.
Not satisfied with defeating the
teams in the valley, Manager Arch
Jerman wrote Manager Bartholomew
of the Gresham Giants, several weeks
ago. asking for a game and offering
$50 on the side. Although Bartholo-
new intimated in a Portland paper
this week that he was unable to secure
enough games to keep his team busy,
and that the teams in the valley were
afraid to play him." Jerman states
that he has as yet received no reply
from his letter to the Gresham man
ager. Whether Bart is only -four
flushing or whether the letter went
astray and he will accept Jerman q
offer is not known, but the Senator'S
manager is anxious to meet the Gre
sham nine Bart's team has been
playing good ball this season, and has
won the biggest proportion of all
games played this year However, II
has not crossed bats with any team
of the Willamette Valley league this
year.
Manager Hunt Of the Woodburn Gil
ants is going after next Sundays
game to win. 1t is said he will use
man named Lake on the mound.
Lake is said to hail from Victoria,
B. c., and is former Northwestern
Lacquer. In addition to this change
in his lineup, Hunt will play Terry
McKune at second base. McKune for
merly played second base for Man
ager McCredie of the Portland team of
the Pacific Coast league. According
tn the done handed out yesterday
Hunt will use Kissler in Monday s
game. Kissvler is a former Pacific
Coast Lacquer and was to have pitched
last Sundays game here but was
spiked in a game at Woodburn last
Saturday and was not able to play,
Manager Jerman probably will use
his old steadies, Allegaert and Baker,
next Sunday. Next Sundays game
promises to be one of the warmest of
the season. Both Jerman and Hunt
are fighting like Trojans to win this
year. Each manager has one pennant
to his credit and the two teams are
evenly matched. One run next Sun
day may decide who takes the big
prize. Alec Cheyne, who has been do
ing excellent work with the indicator
during the latter part of this season
probably will umpire the big game
next Sunday.
