Page 4 The CHEMAWA AMERICAN Last Friday oui team defeated Parrish at Salem 9 to 2. Joe Alexander did the pitching for our team and for awhile it looked like he would turn in our first no-hit, no-run game of the season. But all at once the string broke and because of errors runners stood on first and second. Enoch, Parrish center fielder, followed with a nice double and both boys scored. Uriah Alexander had another big day with bat and out of four trips to the plate made two doubles and a single. Dowd Franklin was his nearest rival, with a single and a double. Both boys made two runs. On Saturday Leonard Vivette took the mound against West Lynn and pitched some real baseball up to the fifth inning. At this stage of the game the score stood 3 to 1 in our favor. All at once the wind began blow ing the other way and things began to happen. With two out and runners on first and second one error after the other followed five hits and the West Lynners scored six runs giving them a nice lead of 7 to 3. At this point Joe Alexander ascended the mound once more. Though he was found for four hits they were so well scattered that only one run was allowed in the remaining four innings. In the seventh inning our team awoke from its slumber and business galore started. Charles McKay led off with a home-run and before a wild spree of hits and runs could be stopped our batsmen rounded up one home run, two trippies, one double and a single, and eight runs. Charles McKay, going to the plate for the second time during the inning, lined out a three-bagger and made his sec ond tally of the inning when Marcus Simmons came through with a hit. In the eighth inning West Lynn’s relief man was found for three hits aad four runs. The final score of the game was Chemawa 15, West Lynn 8. Charles McKay was our leading man in this game with a homer and a trippie and three runs to his credit. Last week the freshmen uncrowned the seniors when they turned defeat into victory in their half of the ninth inning and won 9 to 4. Up to then the seniors were leading 4 to 3. Several of our track men participated in the state track and field meet held at O. S. C. last Saturday. Five hundred tracksters from the leading high schools of the state were there to win honors. Though George Little Light was our only man to bring home any prizes the others were by no means left in the shade. George won the bronze medal in the broad jump. Albert Miller was shaded just a little in the hundred yard dash and tied for second place in the high jump, and incidentally is now the holder of a new school re cord, having cleared the bar at five feet, eight inches. Troop number seven, Mr. Francisco, Scoutmaster, defeated the Clear Lake ball team last Saturday 15 to 9. It was a big baseball week for us. Even the girls team came home on the long end of a 15 to 13 score ever the Hazel Green nine. THE BUSINESS OF LIFE (Continued from page 1) sorting with the scum of earth. Believe in what you say, or else say nothing. Among those careless and thoughtless we often hear the term, “You lie!” In our mind we do not believe that those whose habit it is to make common use of this expression of speech realize how terribly bad it sounds to people of culture—to that social class that has always endeavored to keep its word good. A few repetitions of such reprehensible expressions has given many a boy and young man a rating that he knew nothing about, and which, had he known, would have given him pause beyond a doubt. Take pride in your word, your manhood; take so much pride in vourself that you will be insulted if called a ‘‘liar,’ and tnen you will be more careful in the application of such terms to others. Be a lady or a gentleman and aspire to nothing less. Ladies, or gentlemen, are careful to keep their records clean; they eschew rough and coaise speech; they are careful of the company they ktep, and it is ever their endeavor to be truthful.
