THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN PAGE 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Published Weekly at the Salem Indian Training School Chemawa. Oregon. Please address all communications to Ruthyn Turney, Manager. JAS. H. McGREGOR - Superintendent - - 50 Cts PER ANNUM SUBSCRIPTION hope so. Orin Johnson played second base fairly well, but has trouble getting rid of the ball. He connected for one hit, but nervousness still has the better half of him. If Clifford Celes tine can clout the ball with anything like regularity he will have a place on the team. Janies Spencer is in a like fix. It will be a race between these two men. The seniors tramped on the juniors in the class game last week 5 to 1. Thompson and Logan did the pitching and re ceiving for the seniors, while Bowker and Atkins tried their wares for the juniors. Both teams played good ball. This week the seventh and eighth graders play. This Saturday our team plays Monmouth Normal at Mon- moutn. ATHLETIC NOTES NOTICE TO THE ALUMNI Chemawa 8, Columbia University 9, marks the score of the eleven-inning game played at Portland last Saturday afternoon. In the first inning our team chased three runs across the plate and it appeared that it would not be long till they had the game safely salted away. But it is always a safe plan never to consider the game won till the last man has gone to the show ers, for they invariably turn out like this one if you do. Col umbia started immediatly to tighten their defense and put more punch in their offense. In the third inning they had the score tied. But in the fourth inning, George Meachem put us on easy street once more by clouting out a two-bagger with three standing on the bases. This gave us another three- run lead and we defied Columbia to tie it. They soon took some of the kinks out of it, at least when Hagan hit one for four bases, with a runner on, and closed up the gap once more to a scant one-run lead. Janies Spencer gave us another boost when he tallied in the fifth. Then Sullivan, Columbia’s hitting ace, came near busting up the ball game by hitting a home run with two men on and giving Columbia the lead 8 to 7. Things of course got very dark for our side until all at once, just like a thunder bolt. Clifford Celestine whanged out a home-run and tied the score. Clifford just about won his spurs in that one wallop. From the eighth until the eleventh Ixjth teams played an exceptionally fine brand of baseball con sidering the earliness of the season. But it remained for Heenan’s scratch hit to win the game. It was lucky for Col umbia that that hit came when it did, for the coaches had just agreed to call off what looked like an endless game. Supt. McGregor is most desirous that all members of the Chemawa Alumni be at our school during the coming commencement exercises and attend the alumni reunion to be held as one of the features of the occa sion. To this end he has sent out many invitations, letters and cards, but should any one have been inad vertently overlooked he is to consider himself invited just the same and be here if possible. This will be a most auspicious commencement, as we will send forth the first crop of full high school course graduates ever developed at Chemawa. Try and be with us and help make the occasion memorable. Leander Wilson took the mound for us and pitched good ball. Though he was niched for a few solid swats it did not reflect on his work, for several were errors by teammates. Jake Atkins caught a fine game for both Leander and Solomon. Solomon Fluery, our southpaw, relieved Leander in the sev enth and held the hilltoppers at his mercy except for a couple of walks and a bad pitch. The last of which resulted in the winning run. Coquille Thompson, center fielder, was our hitting ace of the day. His solid swat of the first inning drove in Atkins. Out of six times at bat he registered three hits. Captain DePoe at third played an unusual defensive game. He accepted several chances with but one error. His hatting eye is returning. He got two hits and walked twice. George Meachem, our shortstop, looks like the man for the job. Since the beginning of the season that has been our chief worry, but it appears that George has definitely solved that problem. Just at present the actors around first and second base are not up to snuff and a change will probably be made until Eldred George can find his form of a year ago. Eldred is probably a late starter and will find himself before another game. We INDUSTRIAL ITEMS Mr. Turner has a thousand little chicks and is preparing to set the incubators again. Pictures were taken of the Domestic Science, Domes tic Art and Sewing Room on Thursday. The girls in Mrs. Kirk’s department are very busy making table cloths for the new dining hall. Ernest Brunoe and Ernest Sanderson are overhaul ing Mr. Mason’s car and Mr. Henderson’s truck. McBride Hall girls may get their tennis racquets now, as the new tennis court west of McBride Hall indicates that they will have use for them soon. Mr. Sanders is making a sign fortheadministration building. Visitors will now be able to locate our seat of government. This is a good idea, and the work of Mr. Sanders is also good. Supt. McGregor has had a new orchard planted on the northwest corner of the school farm. Twenty- five acres were planted to apples, prunes and pears, several varieties of each. The new orchard will boast 1,355 trees all told. Messers. Ross, Carrow ami Ratzburg are the gentlemen who had charge of the work of laying out and planting the new orchard. This is a fine move, as the future will prove. Mrs. Charles E. Larsen, of Siletz, was a recent Chemawa visitor.
