BASEBALL
HAZEL GREEN INVADED BY CARPENTERS
Erratic fielding in the game with Woodburn cost Che-
mawa’s baseball team its last apparent chance for a
championship in the Willamette Valley Interscholastic
League.
The Reds lost to Woodburn 5 to 3, Wednesday, May
10. Vivette pitched exceptional ball, limiting Wood
burn to three hits and fanning 12 batsmen, including
four in the first inning, but his outfield mates were off.
On May 17, our pill tossers defeated West Linn 10
to 2 in a seven inning game here.
The perfect ball playing in the field was probably
due to the shifts that were made in the line-up. Viv
ette went to first base, Palmer to second and Wilder
to third, Bobb was transfered to the catching job, w’ith
Hatch and Jones new faces in the outfield. The latter
two made a big showing in both field work and batting.
Thetwirlers, Seltice and Spencer, showed exception
al hurling, allowing West Linn only two hits in the
seven innings.
On Friday, May 19, our baseball nine defeated the
Molalla string in a hard fought game to a close score
of 7 to 6. Vivette pitched the first four and Seltice
the last three innings.
Both did splendid work in
the box.
Jones hit a homer with a man on base, giving the
Reds a 2 to 1 lead in the first inning. A tight game
followed with a series of hits and runs on both sides
but at the end of the seventh Chemawa was still lead
ing Molalla by one point and came out victorious.
On Friday, May 19, the carpenters laid aside their
planes, hammers and board strechers and gleefully
made their pilgrimage to Hazel Green Park to enjoy
a whole day of play. The boys found amusement in
horse shoe, baseball, swumming and consuming ham
burgers. In the great tournament of barn-yard golf
Leonard Vivette lost his hamburger, as well as his title
to “Medicine Man” Archambeau. Mr. Mason the
flashing first baseman, sprained his finger in the twenty-
third inning of the big baseball game of the day. The
boys enjoyed the picnic and thank their instructors
who made the event possible.
Achievements of which the carpenters boast: Uriah
“Red” Alexander has completed a cedar chest, and is
it spiffy looking? The boys are at present working on
a baby crib for Mr. Showalter’s young heir.
CHEMAWA WINS DISTRICT MEET
On Saturday, May 13, our tracksters and field men

additional entries above the number listed in advance,
and the meet was run off without a hitch, finishing on
schedule time. The track was in good condition and
good marks were the result.

Tuesday night, May 23, all Chemaw’a gathered in
the gym for the farewell dance. This proved to be a
fitting and enjoyable termination for the social activi
ties of the year. George Arliss in “The Millionaire”
was the next bit of entertainment, on Wednesday
night. “Jolly-Up” took the spotlight on Wednesday
morning. The list of awards, appears in another part
of this issue.
