P age T he CHEMAWA AMERICAN 4 Chemawa 16, Scotts Mills, 0. BASEBALL Chemawa 16 Molalla 20 In the first game of the season the braves, with hopes no bigger than a pin head, showed up the local fans and coach alike when they demonstrated to the public that they were no ones “green pastures”. With but two lettermen and a group of turn-outs that looked like the “last rose of summer,” Coach Lanard has built a team out of his “own blood” and this is put ting it “mildly.” Ahem, how am I doing? Getting back to the subject the braves encountered Molalla on March 29th and had the palefaces wapoed but for an error on the part of a lone brave in the center field. The score at the first half of the ninth was 13tol4 in our favor. In the last half is when the error was made which was the result of a rally by the Whippets. With a youthful pitcher at the helm and with no prev ious tossing experience, shows you what the team is made of. Those who comprise the team are: Lloyd Baker, catcher; John Spencer and Edward Jones, pitchers; Roy Kalama, first base; Vernon Jackson, second base: Melvin Lacourse, short-stop; Homer Settler and Pres sley Labreche, third base; Matt Adams, left field; Peter Tonasket, center field; Henry Sijohn, right field. A number of youthful reserves also make up the team which will be next years prospect for the var sity. Chemawa 12 Molalla 13 Our local ball tossers motored to Molalla recently and played the Whippets in a return game. We lost 12 to 13. As the score indicates, it was a hectic game with a good many errors being made by both teams. In the first inning, Molalla scored 9 runs to our one but from then on, our boys settled down to, what is commonly called, air tight baseball. The braves al lowed them only four runs for the rest of the game. The Indian “onion tossors” not only gave the Mol alla fans an exhibition in “airtight” fielding; except ing for the first inning; but also showed them how the “Mighty Babe” goes to bat. Matt Adams, left field and Roy Kalama, first base man; both slammed out a home run apiece. As luck would have it, “smiling Roy” touched all bases and came home when there wasn’t any one on. Matt’s homer brought in one run and his score tied the ball game up in the first half of the 9th inning. The Whippets squeezed one run in the last half of the 9th to win. The Scotts Mills High School came to Chemawa and enroute lost their baseball suits. From all appear ances the old adage “clothes makes the man” cer- beld true, for our two lettermen and our group of rosy turn-outs went to work on them and all but knocked them out of the clothes they did have. Llyod Baker, our versatile catcher led the battery with two ‘ ‘three baggers’ ’ and our little * ‘ Lefty” Spen cer did some excellent work on the mound. Not to be out done by Spencer, “Buck” Jones, a spanking new comer to the pitching game, pitched some big league ball for the first 4 innings. BASEBALL SCHEDULE Mar.

PUGLISTS HOLD THEIR OWN The leather slingers held their own when they adven tured to Portland recently. Peter Seltice won for the second time from Jack Burbank, Virgil Nuckols lost by a technical knock-out and Wilfred Cline, who was putting on a good fight, was hampered by a badly cut eye and as a result the fight was stopped by officals. This is about the end of the boxing season. There maybe another match if arrangements can be made. LETTERMAN’S CLUB The Lettermans’ Club has been an active organize- ation lately. Many meetings have been held and at the last meeting officers were elected. They are: John Spencer, president; Louis Orr, vice-president; Sam Scott, secretary; Dan Motanic, treasurer; Leo Tee hee, sergeant-at-arms. After a short business discus sion the meeting was adjourned. A meeting room has been established in the gym which will be for the exclusive use of lettermen. Plans for beautifying it will be under way soon. BASEBALL GAME CHEMAWA VS. GERVAIS APRIL 12TH . . . 2:00 O’CLOCK P. M.
