Some people say that Salem played a poor game, and we are much inclined to agree with them, for they really made a popr showing against our varsity. Tom Claplanhoo, our right fielder who started early in the season to work as a pitcher but who has played in. a field position because of his bitting ability, made | ilie sensational plays of the game when he chased en tirely out of his territory and robbed Salem of two of the surest looking hits ever made, saving a run with the first catch and ending the game with the second. ITEMS PROM THE TRADES MT. ANGEL TRIMMED New lawns are appearing in several places on the campus. The masons are preparing for more walks near the gymnasium. Spring crops are looking fine, particularly the grain and early garden. The season so far has been with the farmers and gardeners and they have ¿taken prompt advantage of thé rather unusually early season. Have you noticed our nice-looking dairy herd on its journey to and from the pasture? Our cows are like those of a certain advertisment, they are “ con tented cows.” This is due to good care and gentle tr£atm£irt./s New graduation suits for our young men of the graduating class are under constructing in the ^tailor ing department. The tailor and the boys of this de partment are the only ones worried about them. The rest of us know that they will be the same high class suits that have been made in this department for years past. . r'.-. Athletics are claiming our attention now and many of our boys are doing well. The writer desires to commend the students of the several industrial depart ments for the good showing made in balancing the work with the play and the cheerful performance of work before play time comes. This is the spirit of a successful school. Let us cultivate it more. Friday afternoon our ball tossers won the most ex citing and thrilling baseball game seen here in a long time. Our old rivals from Mt. Angel College jour neyed over from the school on the hill to get the sur prise of their lives. Last year they walked away with the non-conference championship with seemingly per fect ease, but were shaken off their high horse here Friday by a 6 to 5 score in our favor. “ Lefty Joe” was about as stingy as old “ Scrooge” himself and allowed but six hits and turned 14 sorry ones back to warm the bench, while Coach Kasberger used his entire pitching staff in an effort to stop the onslaught of our hitting machine. Among the three of them they got six fans while our sluggers' bunched- 14 hits. Bucher!; started the parade with the first pitched ball by a single through second, but was tagged out athom e on George’s bunt. Minthorn followed with a hit that put Atkins across the plate for the first run. From the beginning Joe held the Collegians at his: | mercy and allowed but two runs until the first of the ninth, when, with the tally 5 to 2 in our favor, Mt. Angel started a rally that netted them three runs, tying the score. W ith one out and two men on bases Claplanhoo made the first sensational catch that saved a run. The next hitter up met the, onion square on the seam that drpve it on a line over the pitcher’s head and past center field. It continued t o . rise and looked like it would never stop. | We kissed our hopes good-bye, thinking surely it would be a homer. But, blessed be “ Old Tom,” going like a streak of lightning and far out of his territory made the second grand catch that saved the day. In the last half of the ninth and the score 5 to 5, Atkins led off with a clean swat through short and then stole second, third and home, scoring the winning run, mid the cheering and yelling of the best pleased bunch of spectators that ever watched a ball game. CHEMAWA DEFEATS SALEM HIGH Last Wednesday afternoon our varsity took the Salem High “ preppers” to the cleaners in a seven inning game 12 to 5. Salem was out-hit, out-pitched and out-played frpm the first ball thrown until the last. ; , In the first inning our hitters clouted Dave Adolph, Salem twirler, for six hits, five runs, and accumulated a total of 17 hits in the seven innings. Five scattered hits was all Phinney would allow and those so far apart that they counted little toward the Salem score. Reinhart, Jones and Rex Adolph, Salem’s hard-hitting three, fanned the air and warmed Eleanor Hauk and two college friends from the Uni versity of Oregon were visitors at Chemawa over Satur day and Sunday. They were here to be présentât thé annual Sigma party.
