CH EM AW A Vs. U of O F R E SH M E N
In th e first of a tw o-gam e series played here last
F riday C hem aw a was defeated by the U of O F re s h
men 6 to 3. 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.
