Clubs of International Coast League Will Be Counted In SEATTLE, Wash.. March 23. Tho Pacific Coast International league, formerly the Northwest league, will not be cut from six to four clubs, Robert Blewott of Seattle, president of the league, has asserted. z;iowett mado the statement, he said, in answer to rumors ru-mors that tho league will bo reduced in size because, it is very probable, it will have no Montana representation this year. Last year Butte and Groat Falls had teams In tho league. Because of lack of support and the high cost of the long railroad jump, Great Falls has already al-ready dropped from the rolls. Blewelt predicts Butto will bo dropped for tho same reason. Portland, Ore., will replace one of tho Montana clubs, and from present indications, Vancouver. Wn., will replace re-place the other. Reports received here from southern Washington said Vancouver Van-couver seriously was considering applying ap-plying for a berth. As Vancouver is just across the Columbia river from Portland, and as grounds are reported hard to find in tho suburbs all of Vancouver's Van-couver's home games may bo played in Portland thus giving tho Oregon metropolis continuous baseball. Tho other teams in tho league will bo Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and Vancouver, B. C. Games will be played regularly at Camp Lewis, Tacoma. The league directors meet here March 27 to make their final plans and arrange ar-range their schedule. oo
