WOODBURY. DECADENT
AS BASEBALL TOWN

John p Hunt, assistant chief clerk
Of the senate, is a baseball player
known for his prowess from one end
Of the Willametet valley to the other,
and for several seasons has managed
his home team at Woodburn, also
playing on the team in infield posi-
tions. Last season Hunt played with
different clubs throughout the valley,
and expects to make his services
available to any needy manager this
season.
The legislative official does not ex-
pect to put team in the field at
Woodburn this season. He says that
Woodburn is not the baseball town
that it was several seasons ago, and
that it is impossible to get paying
crowds to attend the games, which is
vastly in contrast to conditions four
or five years ago, when a crowd OF
900 people could be procured for a
game without difficulty on any day OF
the week Because of the lack of
baseball fervor in the North Marion
county town, the ball park at that
place has been done away with, and
the grounds are being put to other
uses.
Mr.. Hunt says that one thing that
has made baseball a non-paying ven
ture in Woodburn Is the sentiment
against Sunday baseball. The majori-
ty Of the people Of the town are en-
listed with the seven church denom-
nations, and do not accept the ma
tional game as desirable feature for
Sunday diversion.
Two seasons ago Woodburn was a
member of the Willamette Valley
league, and made a good reputation
for herself throughout the season.

About Our University.

Public attention is now being direct
ed towards the Willamette university
our local school. The faculty Is TAX
ing under serious consideration the
proposition of moving the law and
medical departments to Portland, for
the express purpose of placing the in
stitution in a position to accept a sub
stantial donation carrying with 1t a
provision eliminating the professional
courses.
The efforts Of the local press have
not been fruitful insofar as learning
what the real intentions of the faculty
are. There is quite a long history
connected with the Willamette univer-
sity 1t is strictly a Salem school,
Salem has done much for its mainte-
nance and has literally supported 1t
when in need of financial assistance
While the Methodist church, in one
way and another, has successfully So
licited from foreign sources donations
of thousands of dollars in times past
yet that assistance has been Of de-
nominational nature. Salem has stood
by the school more from a business
point Of view than from any feeling OF
moral duty Therefore, in concluding
the negotiations, the faculty would do
well to carefully consider the relation
this school enjoys with the people OF
the Capital City,
For many years the school lived un-
der the wings of local support, and
now that 1t can at last stand on Its
own legs, It is proposed to split the
curriculum into two parts, moving one
part to Portland. BY SLOW laborious
process, the school has been gradual.
ly built up to its present efficiency. II
has been recently favored by immense
sums Of money donated by those tt
whom money, in some cases, has come
very easily The Salem merchants
who have subscribed to its crying de
mands in times past, have worked
hard for that money, and like The
widows mite, should not be forgotten
under the glare Of the hundreds o.
thousands offered by wealthy outsid
ers.
The proposition before the author,
tiles rs indeed a serious matter. Tt
move the two professional courses
away means a reduction Of revenue al
well as depicting the numerical stand
ing, of which both the school and Sa
lem have been proud. Consolidation
in Portland Of the law and medica
branches, as proposed no doubt will
better those departments. Substitut
ing in lieu thereof a large sum o
money on what Is left Of the schoo
may, and again may not, prove expedi
ent. To the ordinary observer, tn,
division will mean this: 1t will place
the university here upon purely de
nominational basis, relieving ltsel
from any claim Of non-sectarian sup
port. The two departments in Port
land will conversely, drift into al
