OREGON'S NAVAL
MILITIA MAY
HOLD ITS JOB

With q favorable report submitted
to the navy department relative to
the cruise Of the naval militia by the
commanding officer of the Maryland,
it is possible that Governor West
will not change his idea of dlssolving
the organization and give It a new
lease of life.
Several months ago the governor
indicated his intention Of disbanding
the organization, contendlng that It
was but a drain on the taxpayers.
Busiess men Of Portland rallied to
the support Of the militia and the
governor finally relented He decid-
ed to let the militia go on it's cruise
and indicated that II the command
ing officer made favorable report
with regard to Us conduct during II
that he might change his mind.
The commanding officer says that
the men conducted themselves in
splendid manner, recommends that
the state support the militia and
says that the cruise has impressed
upon his mind the necessity Of SINH
lar organization for the nations de-
fense.

DEFEATED
BY WEONAS
PORTLAND TEAM LOWERED THE
"UNDEFEATED" PENNANT AND
GATHERED THE SALEM BOYS
IN BY A SCORE OF Z TO 4,

What is believed will help to stim-
ulate interest in baseball happened
Sunday when the Weonas, of Port
land, defeated the Senators in we'll
played game by a score of A to 7.
The visitors played good ball and so
did the locals, but on account of two
costly errors by the locals, three
runs were made by the Weonas,
which otherwise would have been an
evenly matched game. Then again
the decisions Of Umpire Cernik were
not up to his usual high standard,
while they were apparently evenly
divided between the visitors and the
locals, they were more expensive for
our boys than for Portland. Consid-
cradle dissatiSfaction was manifest
in the grand stand and on the bleach
ers at some Of the decisions and at
times the opposing teams became
very indignant over the decisions, but
one thing was well settled, there
was no Partially shown by the UNI
pire, although several runs were
made by the visiting team on what,
to those looking on from the grand
stand, were considered bad decisions
1t must be taken into consideration
that the umpire views the plays from
an entirely different view point from
those who witness the game as by
ISLANDERS,
Considerable rain fell during the
progress Of the game, making It very
disagreoablc for the players as the
ball became wet and slippery. At
times 1t threatened to break up the
game, but It was played to the end
the interest continuing intense until
the last half Of the ninth inning was
played.
Salem got eight hits off Kelly and
Guryell, while the visitors succeeded
in landing on only seven Of Bakers
hot ones. Smart and Emrlck for the
Weonas each made one error, while
Jones made 2, Porterfeld made O.
Humphreys aud Catcher Baker made
one each. Baker struck out 70 OF
the opponents and Kelly and Gurvell

The game in detail was as follows:
Nothing was done on either side in
