THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 2 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa, Oregon. Please address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager. JAS. H. McGREGOR SUBSCRIPTION Superintendent - 50 Cts PER ANNUM ATHLETIC NOTES Our baseball team defeated the North Pacific Dental College last Friday afternoon in Portland 11 to 3. Dewey Matt started the scoring in the second inning, when he was very nicely sacrificed to second by Reginald De Poe and scored on Charles DePoe’s double to center field. Dewey crossed the plate again in the fourth in ning with Reginald DePoe, giving us a three-point lead. But the dentists, in their half of the fourth, tied the score and threatened to take the lead until their side was suddenly retired and what looked like certain runs were left standing on bases, all of which is ac counted for by the two put-outs and one assist credit ed to Charles DePoe, second baseman. That little rally was all that the dentists needed to fire them up. In stead of playing a rather listless game they now took on new life and determination. This fourth inning score was also all that was needed to put our boys on their toes. Fleury began to bear down in the pitcher’s box. The balls now whizzed and zipped across the plate, with better control and free passes to first base ended and would-be hitters about-faced and marched back to the bench with some thing like regularity. His teammates were now busy fighting it up and playing with much the same effect. They grabbed them all and in their half of the fifth found Nesbit, the Dental pitcher, for three hits and three runs. The sixth was a continuation of the fifth. They pounded Nesbit for five hard hits. Solomon Fleury and Charles DePoe connected for trippies; George Meachem and Reginald DePoe, doubles; and Valin Davis got a single, all scored. It was a wild inning with plenty of action on both sides. Finally Atkins hit into a double and the side was retired when Abraham struck out. On account of the many other events that had been scheduled to take place in the afternoon sports the game was called at the end of the seventh inning. The rain curtailed what otherwise would have been a rather busy week for our baseball team. On last Monday they waited until four o’clock at O. A. C. for the weather to clear up so that they could play a scheduled game with the Rooks. But about that time it started raining harder and the team came back home. On Thursday Columbia University was to appear here, but the weather again interfered and the game was postponed until a later date. On Friday the team will tear into Salem high once more. We took them into camp early in the season by a 3 to 2 score. This time the game will be played in Salem. One more game and the race for the class baseball championship will be over. Maybe! That depends upon the outcome of this next game, which is to be played between the Freshmen and the Sophomores. To date the Juniors and the Freshmen are in the lead with three wins each. But the juniors have one defeat chalked up against them. The dope favors the Fresh men, for they are going up against a comparatively weak team, one that has won but one game all season. Should the Frosh win they will be the undisputed champions. If they lose they go into a tie with the Juniors. It will be remembered that the Juniors and the Freshmen fought it out in football. The Sopho mores, who have been hopelessly out of luck all season, may be the ones to throw these two classes into another championship struggle. AN INTERESTING GUEST The Y. W. C. A. girls were priviledged on Sunday to entertain as their guest Miss Sumi Yamamoto, pres ident of the State Older Girls’ Conference, and a junior at Einfield College. Miss Yamamoto is a na tive of Japan, and at Sunday School spoke to the students regarding her childhood in that country, with its background of idol worship and oriental customs. She has been educated in America and paid a very high tribute to the ideals of this country. In the afternoon she addressed a large group of Y. W. C. A. girls, speaking on the great student movements of Europe and Asia, and emphasizing particularly the responsibility of American students to cultivate friendship with these foreign students and to co-operate with them in helping to make a better world. Following this meeting, the Junior Girl Reserves enjoyed the opportunity to meet Miss Yamamoto, and she spoke to them of Japanese customs of dress, wed ding and funeral ceremonies, and many other interest ing facts concerning her country. Eater in the afternoon the Y.W.C.A. Cabinet, with Miss Eakin and Miss Judd, entertained with a lunch eon in her honor. Miss Yamamoto’s winning person ality, her sincerity, and her very real interest in peo ple of all races made her indeed a charming guest and an inspiration to all who met her. DOMESTIC ART NOTES Wow! Companies A and B of McBride Hall step ped out in their new gingham uniforms on Sunday. We think they are lovely. The uniforms for Winona Hall will be completed soon. We all think Mattie Turcotte will be an expert at renovating, because it seems she always gets the “left overs” to renovate. Ferol Porter and Williamette Blakeslee are learning to use the “Paintex;” it’s a new way of decorating ma terials. About Wednesday we will begin to study the processes of tie dyeing.
