O regon m ade three ru n s in th e first in n in g — one by a wild throw to second from hom e, one from hom e to th ird and th e other on a wild throw from second to th ird . In the third th e F reshm en had an o th er prosperous in n in g w ith three m ore men cross ing the plate; all due to like errors. Dan L aw rence pitched a fine gam e for C hem aw a and allowed O regon only one h it and in the first seven in n ings sent nine fanned ones back to the bench when he gave way to Bettles, who carried on the good w ork. S atu rd ay s gam e, played on the league g rounds in Salem , resulted in a second victory for th e O regon team , 3 to 2. A large n um ber of our em ployees and stu d e n ts as well as a large ciow d of Salem people w itnessed the gam e, w hich was pronounced by th e Salem papers th e best seen th e re in several seasons. Joe B ettles took the m ound for C hem aw a and p itc h ed a w onderful gam e, strik in g out 15 men and allow in g but th ree hits. Joe was given splendid su p p o rt by his team m ates th ro u g h o u t, but O reg o n ’s h its cam e in the tim e of need and w ere too well placed to be field ed. A lth o u g h o u r boys batted both of O re g o n ’s p itch ers all over th e lot, y et it seemed im possible to squeeze in a h it of an y kind w hen th e bases were full in the fifth in n in g and none dow n. In all C hem aw a g ath ered in seven h its yet nine men w ere left to die on bases.
