THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon, HARWOOD HALL, Superintendent Address all communications to Buthyn Turney, Manager SUBSCRIPTION ... 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Chemawa 21 Reed College 2, is the score of the game played last Saturday in Portland. What started out to be a close game ended a regular merry-go-round for our team. By bunching five hits and a walk in the last inning our team garnered eight runs before Reed could get the side out. Solomon Fleury was our heavy hitter for the day. Out of seven trips to the plate he made three doubles, two singles, and drew two bases on balls. Atkins was a close second with two doubles, one trippie, one single and a base on balls. Each one made four runs. On top of such a busy day at bat Fleury sent twelve of the Reed hitters back to the bench, while Atkins was on the receiving end of every strike out. Ordin arily three hits in one game would be a big day’s work for any of our men, but in this game it was just average with the entire team. In the last few games the team has been hitting the ball, but today they will be put to a real test when they face the strong Columbia University nine in Portland, and the North Pacific Dental College tomor row. Our team has been lining up as follows: Jake Atkins, catcher; Solomon Fleury and Leander Wilson, pitchers; Reginald DePoe, first; Willie J. Williams, second; Valin Davis, third; Dandro George, shortstop; William Brendible, left field; Charles George, center field; Leo Burns, right field. Last Saturday afternoon Coach Sanders and his handful of track men gave Willamette University team a run for their lives and held them to a 62 1-2 to 58 1-2 score before one of the largest crowds ever assembled to witness a track meet held in Salem. Throughout the meet our boys gave a very credit able account of themselves and only lost the meet when they did not have any one to enter in the 440-yard tun and all three places went to W. U. The meet was most exciting. Every event was a race to the fin ish. John Kowasuk demonstrated the grit and pluck of our entire team when he scrambled to his feet after taking a bad tumble in going over the first hurdle in the 220-yard low hurdle race and finished one of the prettiest races of the day. John was heartily ap plauded at the finish of the race. The events in which our boys placed were as follows: Shot put, Solomon Fleury, first; Ernest Brunoe, third. 120-yard high hurdles, John Kowasuk, second; Charles George, third. 100-yard dash, William McMaster, first. Mile run, Louis Turntoes, first. Pole Vault, Joe Dumore, first. 220-yarddash, William McMaster, first. Broad jump, Charles George, first. Javelin, Reginald DePoe, third. High jump, Joe Dumore, second; Alfred Bernard, tied for third. Low hurdles, John Kowasuk, second. Discus, Solomon Fleury, second; Charles George, third. The half-mile relay was won by Solomon Fleury, Nick Stepetin, John Ko wasuk and William McMaster. JUNIOR NOTES Clarinda Quinnel has learned to be a professional gesso maker. Evelyn Whicebear and Lila Crofoot have been as sistant laundresses for the past two weeks. Jake, Solomon and Charles have proved to be expert baseball men. What could the varsity do without them? We are very sorry to report the loss of our little, short, tall Junior, Robert Fielder, known as one of our best boys, also band drum major, so not only we Juniors will misshim. We are very proud of our wax work. Since we own this large manufacturing firm we will show a few wax characters in the auditorium today. We have chosen characters from our collateral reading course. DETAIL FOB WEEK McBride Hall Teacher No. 7 Stenographer Sunday escort for girls, May 17 Winona Hall Financial Clerk Laundress LOCAL Miss Eakin has kindly volunteered to play the piano for Mrs. Downie in the daily drilling of the girls in physical education. Since there will be no graduating exercises this year invitations for the closing events will not be sent out to the general public as usual. Each year about this time it takes a pretty good ac countant to figure out how to conduct his school to the end of June on the money available. Stella Wyman was taken ill during the first of the week. It was considered very serious for a time and her mother was notified. She is better now and will soon be able to return to her home. The mother and sisters were here but have returned to their home and the grandmother is still with us.
