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.

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.

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.
