U. Bear cats to the tu n e of 10 to 5 when they m et last F rid ay afternoon on S w eetland field. O u r ancient rivals p u t up a desperate fight till the last fram e, th o u g h o u t-h it and o u t fielded from th e first. In the seventh in n in g th e Bearcats pawed around and tore u p the earth for three ru n s, m ak in g the score 6 to 5 in o u r favor. T heir hopes took w ing and soared high, but P h in n ey soon b ro u g h t them back to earth by sending the re m aining h itters back to w arm the bench. P h inney proved th e ra t poison for the Bearcat sw at ters, allow ing b u t six hits and whiffing eig h t m en. T h e W . U . coach rushed in th ree tw irlers to check our h it tin g m achine, w hich was slam m ing the onion all over th e lot. In all, our b atters corralled 18 h its— h alf of them being tw o-baggers. B u ch ert, A tk in s, G eorge, M inthorne and N orw est were o u r most generous co n tribu to rs. W ith the score still 6 to 5 at th e first of th e n in th , our redskinned w arriors neatly sewed up the gam e w ith five solid drives and as m any ru n s, m aking the score 10 to 5 in our favor and “ flowers she c o u ld n ’t sm ell” for old W . U . V A R SITY P L A Y S R IN G S A R O U N D P R ISO N N IN E “ L efty Jo e ” su re “ treated ’em ro u g h ” dow n at the S tate Prison last S atu rd ay afternoon. P itch in g only th e first six in n in g s he had them fan n in g th e air for th e high and w ide ones and th e low and bad ones and sent ten wood choppers back to th e p it, allow ing b u t a few scanty h its and th ree ru n s. P h in n ey , who d e feated W illam ette ju st th e day before, relieved Joe in th e seventh in n in g and before G eorge got w arm ed up the prisoners founded him for 2 h its and 4 ru n s, m ak ing the score 12 to 7 in o u r favor. But from th en on our sidew heeler held th in g s ju st about his ow n way and rolled the b atters back in apple-pie order. It was as as big a sw at fest we have ever a tte n d ed, for o u r batsm en ran g the bell for 18 sound gingles, w hich included tw o home ru n s registered by M inthorne and N or west, respectively, and a three-bagger a n n e x ed by Brendible. M inthorne th e day, w ith w alk and five second w ith a proved our cham pion “ Babe R u th ” of a hom e ru n , tw o doubles, one single, a ru n s to his cred it. N orw est w as a close hom er, two doubles, a single and 4 ru n s. N O N P A R E IL S VICTORIOUS It was th o u g h t for som etim e th a t all th e baseball m aterial was on th e b oys’ side, but not so, for th e N o n p areils’ w hirlw ind nine took the breeze o u t of th e W in o n as’ sails last week by th e disastrous score of 27 to 7. T h e girls have got pitchers, catchers, southpaw s and ev erything, and real ones, too. T h e ir pitchers can zip ’em across the plate and th eir catchers can hold ’em and even say su ch th in g s to ra ttle the b atter as: “ Come on, feed ’em to me. She c a n ’t h it, s h e ’s got a hole in h er b a t.” And slide! K elly is n ’t in it. T h ey slide on first. ITEMS FROM TH E TR A D ES T h e m achine shop and blacksm ith shop are being p ain ted. O ur plum bing detail is w orking on dem onstration problem s. C arp enters are m aking various repairs and are tu r n in g over dem onstration w ork to th e painters for finish ing. T he boys of the auto m echanics’ division are having some practice in cleaning cars, g rin d in g valves and various jobs along th is line. C om m encem ent, final ex am inations, d em onstration, all are before us. L et us all try to do ou r best th at all may go well and pupils and em ployes be happy. “ If you m ust ride, d o n ’t d rag your fe e t.” T h e engineers have done very well in the m atter of firing th e boilers w ith fuel oil. T here is a keen riv a l ry between th e three shifts to see who can keep the m ost steam w ith th e lowest oil consum ption. T h is is excellent train in g and will be of value to our s tu d en ts w hen they take up w ork after they leave us. If the boys of the yard detail hear the m any com pli m ents of visitors to C hem aw a on the beautiful law ns and flowers they should be proud of th eir w ork. M any people say of our school, ‘‘I t is a beautiful place, such beautiful g ro u n d s .” L et us keep it that way and help out the yard boys by keeping th in g s th a t will d etract from the beauty of th e place picked up. O u r baseball team has won every gam e played so far th is year. T h e boys will go to P ortland on F rid ay w here they will cross bats w ith th e Colum bia U nivei- sity team . T he n ex t day, S atu rd ay , a gam e will be played w ith th e M ultnom ah A thletic Club. M r. Downie, coach, is doing fine w ork.
