Bentley, however, jumped into service as quick as the rest. Tn the meantime the Red S0X obtained Stuffy McInais, the crack first baseman of the Athletics.

The Brussels team of Thompsonville made a sorry showing at the Y. NJ. C. A. last evening, going down to defeat before Skaters men, score 63 to 21. Barring the first few minutes of the game, the visitors were totally out classed. The boys from p-State start ed the fireworks with a score, COnnors turning the trick. The contest must have proved very satisfactory to the visiting mana gers of two teams in nearby cities, who were looking the home team over.
 The game marked the re-appear- ance of Kopf in the lineup. He played the first half and then was relieved by DUdac1. The well oiled machine of the "" team was working in eN- cellent manner last evening and Slater Larson, Kopf and Cook showed to advantage.
 For the visitors Connors was the only player, who was in evidence. His foul shooting was very good. Cope land entered the game in the second half, and contributed a couple of well aime shots.

Springfield, Mass, Feb 12.-Leslie
 Mann and the Chicago Cubs are in volved in another row. A few days hgo Mann announced he had accept Bd" terms. Now he says his pay has been cut and in letter to a Chicago paper he roasted the Cubs.
 What motive Mann has in sending put a letter of that nature I do not
 know" says Vice-President Veeck, of
 the Cubs. His salary was not re- duced, His contract calls for exactly #the same amount he received last summer and we gave him that in view < of the fact that the season is shorter 5 by nearly month. Few of our play ers have been asked to take a reduc- tion in salary. Most of them have been given the same and some have been increased, so we are not making Dany effort to retrench by taking it from the players. They have every reason to be satisfied and [ am sure |aII will be in the fold long before the |Cubs go to Pasadena"

Salem People In OMOd To
ResDOnd To Organization
Of League Of Consumers

When some enterprising 0regonian
starts to organize a consumers league
in this state he will find a lol Of char.
ter members in Salem. Some of them
are developing curiosity at the peculiar
iiy of market prices on The necessities
of life, and not all the explanations
handed out by business men suffice IT,
quell the suspicion that there is big
eullahd gemmen' somewhere m the
woodpile. One prominent business mon
yesterday, in the course of conversation
recalled an incident Of the days when
meat and produce prices in Salem were
the mere shadow fan uncertainty. A.
farmer brought "beef e1lter" to
town and sold it 70 one Of the local
butchers. After the animal was slaugh
tered he decided he would tahe a hind
quarter Of II back home for has winter
supply Of beef. The butcher accommo-
dated him, but when he presented his
bill the farmer found he was indcbt 10
the butcher. The citizen points out that
that same thing might happen in Salem
today, for the buying market shows beef
cows bring from s3 to 80 hundred,
wilhelm the meat market good grade
Of round steak brings 80 cents n pound,
and an ordinary pot-roast is s5 cents a
pound.
Another condition that gets tae house.
holder guessing is that with the finest
crop Of hay and forage grown in recent
years, milk and dairy products are
steadily creeping back 10 the ulid.winter
schedule. The good Old game Of H'pass
ing the buck is now on In Industrial
circles and there might be Interesting
results If a special session Of the legisla
iufe would take q pitehfork and start a
probe into present conditions.
