Page 4 The TRACKSTERS TRIUMPH IN- TRIANGULAR MEET We would like to elaborate on the success of our track team in its initial triangular meet held here last Friday between Salem, Silverton and Chemawa, and which ended quite comfortably in our favor as follows: Chemawa, 62; Salem, 49; Silverton, 14. Only in a scant few instances did the victors win handily and for the greater part every event was of the nip-and-tuck type that gave the large crowd in attendance the thrill they looked for. The880-relay—the last number on the program—was a fitting event to bring to a close the program of track and field events. The race was a classic and to the spectators was a howling success. Two of our own boys battled it out for high point honors. Albert Miller, one of our leading track men the last couple of seasons, won this honor with a total of 18 1-4 points. Peter Emmons was a very close sec ond with 16 1-4. While such regulars as Albert Miller, Howard Churchill, Warren Wilder and George Pepion were prominent figures in the outcome of the meet, the work of our new track stars, Peter Emmons, David Little Swallow, Peter Levay and Ira Booth was none the less brilliant.

Time 1.49 BASEBALL TEAM VICTORIOUS OVER WOODBURN Captain Meachem and his baseballists romped away with another game last Friday afternoon when they defeated the Bulldogs 10 to 5. Previous victories and inclement weather helped to catch our team just a little unprepared for a close game and it was not until their half of the ninth inning that they forged safely into the AMERICAN lead. At that point the score stood 6 to 5 in our favor. But their struggling overcame the slump and in their final inning at bat they looked like a hitting ball team. Leonard Vivette pitched a good game, sending 12 batters back to the plate after a fruitless hunt for the ball. He allowed only one free pass to first. Wood burn scored in the first inning and only timely plays prevented them from scoring in each inning thereafter. The infield had a rather bad afternoon, but they kept their errors far enough apart to prevent any heavy scoring on the part of their opponents. Our nine collected 12 hits and several were made at the opportune time which indicates batting improve ment. Base running is also on the upward trend. However, base line coaching is still at a premium. One of our coaches on third in this game became so interested in watching the game that he forgot all about the runners when an important situation arose. Next Friday afternoon Salem High will furnish the opposition here. With a week of balmy weather our team will be in good shape to play a close game. Salem is the only remaining team in the league whom we have not defeated. The seniors and juniors opened up our inter-class baseball series last week in a game that was interest ing in more ways than one. The seniors started off like certain winners but the hard-hitting juniors rode home to glory and victory by a 16 to 7 score. When good playing failed it instantly became funny. The seniors furnished the “Nick Altrock” of the game. One of our bleechers folded up and passed out just before the inter-class baseball series last week. Just a few minor scratches resulted. But there was plenty of excitement while it lasted. Our leather department presented our ball team with a hand-made baseball kit last week. Words fail us in expressing our appreciation. The workmanship is excellent in every detail and it is a much-needed piece of equipment. ESCORTS Sun., Apr. 26—McBride - - - - Mr. Lobdell Mrs. Lobdell Winona............................. Mr. Mason Mrs. Mason Hawley...............................Miss Judd Mr. D. S. Turner There has been installed at the laundry a new and absolutely safe ironer of greater capacity than the old machine. A workman from Seattle had charge of the installation, with the assistance of Mr. Claude Ross and Mr. Sherman and Mr. Lyle Carrow. There has also been installed at the laundry what is known as an “extractor,” and it, too, is the latest, best and safest machine of its class known.
