WET GROUNDS MAY
CAUSE SUNDAY GAME
TO Be POSTPONED
Salem and St. HeIens in Inter
City League Cast Their
Eyes SkyWard

The prevailing leaky skies today do
not indicate that there will be any base
ball game tomorrow but the fans hold
out an optimistic view and if the sun
smiles bit this afternoon the game be-
tween the Senators and the st. Helens
team will come off according to sched-
ule. The park is being worked over to
present better playing surface for the
diamond and unless more rain falls the
park will be in good condition for to-
morrow's game.
Salem inherited two defeats when it
entered the Inter City league but they
do not intend to lose any more games
this season and although only one of
the other league teams has appeared
at Jerman Park the indications are that
if Salem does not cop the bunting that
they will be in the race to the finish.
One postponed game, however, will
not ruin Salem's chances and even If
the "No game-Rain" sign is hung
out tomorrow the Senators promise to
come back stronger for next Sunday Is
game.
Captain Humphries announces that q
few new faces will probably be seen
in the lineup for the next game and
every effort will be made to present
the strongest possible team for Salem
this season.
If the game is played tomorrow ac
cording to schedule, Wayne Parhan
will twirl and Hauser will work behinC
the bat. Jones and Humphries viii
work at first and second and Miller vii
dig 'em out of the dirt at short. Th'
third station agent has not yet been ap
pointed. Nickel, Adams, and Bell o
| Kazmark will make up the out field.

tCIinches Title

Corvallis, Or, May 6.-Wet grounds
caused the postponement of Friday 8
baseball game between o. A. c, and the
University of Oregon. A double header

university team. The university play
ers worked out in the Armory this after
noon. Sieberts will pitch the first game
for the Aggies, opposing Tuerck. Doc

reversal of form and stand a fair
chance for a double victory.

Berne, May Can Swiss owe their
country military service"
These are the first words in the Swiss
military rule book.
We haven't any book printed in the
Unit States, available to the masses,
that says any such thing
These words democratize the Swiss
army.
If the United States were to be fore.
ed into war, our regiments would be
commanded, in the main, by the young
men of our rich families. This hap.
pened in the Spanish American war.
Political pull, based on wealth and
influence, placed in the hands of almost
any rich young man who cared to as
sumo the responsibility, the lives of
some hundreds of sVod average Am
erican citizens.
This couldn't happen in the Swiss
army.
When a Swiss soldier goes out to
fight, he knows he is under trained
officer, selected by experts and tried.
Just being rich doesn't get you any
where in the Swiss army Being rich
doesn't keep you out of the army,
either. 1t isn't any training of the
Plattsburg camp variety that takes you
to the top in the Swiss army 1t IS
brains and ability. The Swiss rule is
that everybody must start in in the
ranks
As a man shows special adaptable
ty he is FORCED to take special ex-
aminations for promotion. He cannot
refuse promotion.
The examinations are rigid; the kind
social pull can't overcome. The result

Al SOMMERS BEATS
TRAMBITAS---MASCOTT
WINS FROM CONNERS
Former Salem Smoker Top.
liners Win HOnOrs at the
Rose City Smoker

At one of the best smokers ever
STAGED in Portland Al Sommers and
Biliy Mascot, both well known in Sa-
lem emerged victorious from their
bouts. Mascot boxed the headliner
with Earl Corners, of Tacoma, and won
the decision of the judges after six fast
rounds. The "triple umpire" system
was used instead Of single referee IN
the ring as there was some dissatis-
faction with the work of Referee Jack
Grant.
In this bout the boys agreed to fight
themselves free from the elinches and
this made the bout slow and Mascot
did not show up as the fast boxer that
he has in former bouts where the ref
cree forced clean break. Mascot
was clearly entitled to the decision,
however, though Conners showed him
self to be a fast boxer and willing to
mix it at all times.
The feature bout of the evening was
the six round go between valley
Trambitas and AL SOmmers at l5S
pounds. The big Doys stepped into it
from the start and wasted no time in
cIinches. It was slam bang from the
tap of the gong and the fans witnessed
a rare exhibition. The first two rounds
were about even though Sommers did
all of the leading. The third went to
Prambitas, who reached out with vol
ley of rights and lefts that forced AL
to cover. Sommers came back in the
fourth and smashed the Roumanian s
nose and also gained the lead in this
round. The last two rounds were easily
sommers'. The three judges were
Frank Chance, manager of the Los An
geles team; Walter MeCredie, manager
of the Portland league team, and Jimmy
Cassell. Their vote was two for Som
mers and one draw. The decision was
well received.
Danny O'Brien won decision over
Paul Steele, Of Tacoma, which caused
the crowd to howl their disapproval Of
Referee Grants decision. 0'Brien and
Steele are both keen scientific boxers
but the worst that should have been
handed to Steele was draw.
Jimmy Moscow was beaten by Billy
Nelson in six rounds. Moscow boxeC

ter and Billy Nelson was one of the

was held in the Moose hall last week
