ATHLETIC NOTES
East Saturday morning our cross-country runners
defeated the Washington high school team of portland
35 to 20. This makes the second time in as many
years that our team has won this annual event. How
ever, the score is now even as Washington won the
first two matches.
It is recalled that early in the fall John Frenier,
our team captain, made the remark, though not boast
fully but with determination, he was going to win
all his races this spring. To date he has fulfilled
that statement and against Washington was not only
the first man across the finish line, but set a new
record for our two-mile course, that of 11:05.
Each team started close to fifteen men over the
course, John set a rather killing pace, but was able
to keep it up, as were the majority of his teammates,
as close upon his heels came Andrew Whiterock, who
came in just as fresh as his captain. Of the first twen
ty men to finish our boys claimed sixteen of the places.
Only the first ten counted in the score and following
is the order in which they crossed the line: John
Frenier, “ C” , first; Andrew Whiterock, “ C” , second;
Downey, “ W ” , third; Warren Wilder, “ C” , fourth;
Gotthardt, “ W ” , fifth; Hicks, “ W ” , sixth; Eouis
Baker, “ C” , seventh; Gus Frenier, “ C” , eighth;
Eeo Cottonoir, “ C” , ninth; Bufton, “ W ” , tenth.
Cross-country running has been quite popular with
our boys here this Spring and many more have been
turning out than we entered in the race. The follow
ing, though they did not finish among the first ten,
came in the order mentioned: Claude Parazoo, Robert
Perkins, Amos Andy, Benjamin Palmer and Benjamin
Bear. These boys were all close upon the heels of the
Washington men and will furnish plenty of compe
tition in the next race.
Coach Sanders and his track men have been busy
getting in shape for the first meet. They have been
out whenever the weather permitted and are looking
forward to a successful season. Among the veterans
is a dark horse sprinter. George Eittle Eight is his
name. Right now he is making our speed boys step
to keep ahead and he has been out for only a short
spell. We wonder if George was as much surprised
as we were when he discovered his “ speed.” The
coach says that when George develops the proper
arm, leg and body action he will be a hard boy to beat.
A week ago we were unable to give even a remote
idea of what our starting line-up would be in the base
ball game against Oregon City last Saturday afternoon.
For some time we are likely to be in the same fix.
Except for Eldred George and Alonzo Hoover our
team is brand new and untried. Eldred played first
last season and Alonzo played in enough games in the
outfield to earn his letter. Outside of those two we
have a squad that has, for the first time, pulled itself
out of the “ ragball” division into the “ horse hiders.”
So we will probably spend some time getting the
players properly placed.
Oregon City held the edge on us 3 to 2 until the
seventh inning when a flock of errors occurred, and
three free passes to first were allowed by our pitchers,
that gave them five runs to sew up the game. That’s
nothing. Our bad plays were made in an attempt to
do something and they had the right idea every time,
but were just a little late in execution. Just now the
boys are a little uncertain about what to do. They
hesitate just long enough to lose a play. Their timing
is a little bad and that too is the result of not being
sure what to do. All that is going to wear off and
when it does these boys will be bad medicine for lots
of teams. The game started with Roy Meachem,
catcher; Al. Goudy, pitcher; Joe Alexander, first base;
Donald tlatch, second base; Eldred George, short stop;
James McKay, third base; Marcus Simmons r left field;
Alonzo Hoover, center field; Roy Peratrovich, right
field. In the seventh Eldred George was called to the
mound to relieve Russell Vallidy, who had just a few
minutes before relieved Goudy. Eldred was not given
much chance to warm up, but immediately squelched
the Oregon City parade around the bases. Simmons
was placed at short and if he can cut the mustard
there Eldred will be placed among the twirlers where
it is felt he will be of much more value. Eldred has
a good fast ball and is able to mix up a few twisters
along with them. Roy Meachem, by the end of the
season, will look like a veteran catcher. For one
who is making his first attempt he does remarkable
well. Roy is a hustler and he will grasp and learn
everything quickly. He is the right build for a
catcher and has a good arm. He is our lead-off man
and out of four trips to the plate made one hit and
walked twice. Joe Alexander started with the pitchers
early this season, but for the lack of a first basemen
Joe was placed there and has stuck. He will probably
stay if he is not placed in a more important spot.
He will likely take a whirl at short. Donald Hatch
and James McKay, second and third basemen respec
tively, are making a strong bid to hold those places
and will probably keep them provided they can hit the
ball.
To Joe Alexander goes the honor of making the
first home run of the season for our team. In the
fourth inning Joe drove a beauty over the head of the
left fielder, who chased it over the hill while Joe
trotted home. Joe was our heavy sticker of the day,
making three hits out of as many trips to bat.
Friday the team goes to West Eynn to play.
