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.

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.
