Attendance Is Too Light to Warrant
Continuance of Pacific Coast Circuit.

The first minor league to go by the
board this season on account of the
war will be the Pacific Coast Inter
national league, which has heretofore
been named the Northwestern league.
Reports from that circuit are to the
effect that the attendance is extremely
light in all the cities, and especially
Portland which. refuses to support
Glass B bali after pretentious Glass IA
ball
Another cause of distress Is the
competition of the shipyard leagues at
Seattle and Tacoma. These teams are
made up largely of major league and
high class minor league players, who
receive high salaries for com binins
shipyard work and ball playing. These
teams draw so we'll that the profess
sional games are thrown completely i'll

The same condition. in lesser de-
gree. is said TO be ruling the Pacific
Coast league where the California sea-
port towns are finding stiff competi-
tion from the slipyards.
