Only Four Clubs In Tri City League This Summer
From present indications there will be only four teams in the Tri City League the coming summer, as for Iowa Vancouver East Portland West Portland and St Johns. This will insure good baseball as it will be easier to secure good material than if there were six or more lame represented. Manager Valentine claims it would be wiser to have only one Portland team in the league and have Astoria substituted for the other. This would make a good circuit and paying baseball at each place would no doubt result.
