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.
