McGREGOR SUBSCRIPTION ... - Superintendent 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Thirteen to 4 was the score by which our team de feated Columbia University at Portland last Friday afternoon. In the first inning Atkins and Fleury crossed the plate for the initial scores of the game and started our nine on a continual round of clouting the ball and the tagging of bases. Columbia made a des perate effort to stop the heavy hammering of our batters by the use of two pitchers; each had little ef fect and in their triumphal march to victory our sluggers rounded up fourteen solid swats, averaging just a trifle better than a hit to a run. And timely hits they were, for runners were not left to die on the bases as we have seen so many do in previous games this season. But once on they were sent to the rub ber by the drive of a determined batsman. Solomon Fleury took the mound for our team, with Jake Atkins on the receiving end. Solomon pitched a fine game and kept the Columbia batters driving the ball within the range of an infield that played almost perfect ball and an outfield that caught everything within hailing distance. Dewey Matt, on first; Charles DePoe, on second; Valin Davis, at short, and Reginald DePoe on third, played real classy baseball and accept ed chances like seasoned veterans. A pretty double play executed in the second inning by Reggie to Charles DePoe, to Dewey Matt, was one of the features of the game. With the bases full, Coquille Thompson took a lot of the joy out of the game for Columbia when he cut off a right-field drive by a pretty one-handed catch that saved a home run and four scores. It is pretty hard to tell just where the victory lies, whether it was in the splendid defensive work of the team that accept ed so many chances without a bobble, or the timely hitting of the squad. Of course we must have runs to win, but there is also something in keeping the other fellow from scoring. At any rate, it seems that the team has just about struck its stride. There seems to be a steadiness both at bat and in the field that denotes confidence which we like to see. The batters are not fanning the air, but are meeting the ball, and drives instead of pop flies are the result. They know when and how to bunt and runners are being advanced suc cessfully. “Bone head” plays are becoming less be cause the boys are thinking while on the job. These are just a few of the strides forward that the team has made in the last couple of games. Of course they don’t claim to be letter perfect, but are striving to keep far enough ahead of opponents in knowledge of the game to insure victory. This afternoon the Linfield College team of Mc Minnville will come here to cross battle axes with our warriors.
