Coach Specially Training
in Hitting and Fielding
INFIELD SEEMS STRONG
First Game Will be May 3
With Washington High
With 25 candidates turning out
daily the freshman baseball squad
is beginning to take shape. Coach
Earl has been putting the men
through some hard workouts in or
der to whip them into shape and
get a line on the prospective ma
terial. It is a little early yet to
dope out just how the team will
shape up, or who will be at the re
spective positions. However, with
the men working as they are, Earl
will probably start pruning down
the squad in the next few days and
picking those who will be carried
on .the first squad during the sea
son.
The first game for the frosh crew
as it has been arranged to date is
scheduled with the Washington
high school team of Portland, to be
played here on May 3. This gives
the green-cappers nearly three
weeks to get in the pink for the
opening contest. The second game
is also to be played here on the
home diamond against the Salem
High nine, on May 16. The only
other four games scheduled are the
- regular exchange series to be play
ed with the O. A. C. Books.
Books Here May 24
The first game will be played
at Corvallis on May 23. The Books
come over here on the 24th in the
return gam,e. Th,e Babes go to
Corvallis again for the third game
of the series on the 29th, while the
final contest is played here on
Saturday the 31st. Only six games
are on the freshman schedule as it
has been drawn up, however, all of
the games are billetted with strong
teams and the season should prove
to be a hummer for the babes.
“Hank” Foster has been assist
ing Earl in coaching the first year
men and the two have beep in
structing them in the rudiments of
the game, st»esaing especially hit
ting and fielding. Some very cap
able sluggers are showing up
among 'the candidates, and a hard
hitting nine is in prospect.
Fast Infield Expected
The infield as it is mow com
posed, looks to be a fairly strong
one. Rex Adolph seems to hold the
edge over the other candidates for
the job of holding dopm the ini
tial bag. Christenson and Wright
man are the leading aspirants for
second baseman honors. Shortstop
lies between Kiminki and Miller.
Both are covering a lot of ground
and fielding their position well.
Dallas has been used the most at
third, and seems to handle himself
in a capable manner around the hot
corner.
There are a number of other men
trying out for infield berths, who
might break into the lineup. As
far as can be told in an early sea
son diagnosis, the frosh will have
a fast, fair fielding infield with a
consistent punch.
Catching Crew Good
The squad is especially well sup
plied with catchers. Three capable
backstops have been used in prac
tice during the past day or two.
Lynn Jjones is| making a Strong
bid for the position, and is not
only receiving well but is using the
stick in a capable way as well. Mim
naugh who used to catch for Jef
ferson high, also stands in a fair
way to do the backstop honors. The
third member behind the bat is
Marsh, who may also get a chance j
to work. i
The hurlers are more or less of j
a doubtful quantity as yet. Four |
pitchers have been working out in ^
.the box, but none of them have
been able to show anything to
class them as college caliber. Kim-,
inki, Dave Adolph, DeLassus and [
Strickland have shown the most |
stuff so far. Shulte, a promising
twirler, was forced to leave school
Monday because of the illness of
his mother. It is not known yet
whether he will return this quarter
or not. He has twirled high school
ball around San Francisco bay and
has lots of speed and plenty of
stuff. If he returns, he should bol- I
ster the staff considerably.
Tossens Showing up wen
The outfield appears to be well
taaken care of with a number of
fast players trying out for the
outer gardens. “Pete” Brooks,
Frank Reinhart, C. Johnson, Lee
and Russell have beem snagging
the long drives in good shape in
practice. All of them have good
reputations as hitters in high
school ball, and have been finding
their batting byes to gool advan
tage in battifg practice. Unless
hard luck hits the frosh tossers,
they should have a strong aggrega
tion lined up to start the season,
when they meet Washington high
her* May 3.
D'YMENT TO ENTER
SOUTHERN HOSPITAL
Disease Contracted from Refugee Children
During War to Be Treated
Dean Colin V. Dyment, accom
panied by Mrs. Dyment, will leave
Eugene on Friday morning. He has
written to a specialist in Berkeley
California, that they will report at
his office Monday morning. They
expect to enter a convalescent hos
pital in Berkeley on Monday eve
ning or Tuesday morning to receive
treatment for amoebic infection.
Patients with the amoebic infec
tion commonly remain in the hos
pital about three weeks. If they
have not suffered too much in the
■ treatment, they can leave the hos
j pital, but active treatment con
' tinues for another three weeks.
During this time, however, the
patient having become immunized
to the severe regiine of the first
three weeks, does not necessarily
; remain hospitalized.
There is a succeeding period of
, occasional treatments which varies
with the extent of the infection.
t Thereafter comes a period of from
four to ten weeks in which the
toxaemia caused by the massacre
of innumerable amoebae is wearing
off. The patient by that time has
then been restored to his old time
vigor.
The principal among several
drugs used in elimination of the
amoebic infection is emetine, a de
rivative of ipecac, although ipecac
is also taken “straight.”
Mrs. Dyment is believed to have
contracted the infection from the
thousands of refugee French chil
dren whom she treated medically,
and in hundreds of cases operated
on for tonsils and adenoids at her
! medical station in Blois, the far
j famed “Blooey” of the American
; army during the recent war. These
_
I children in many instances had just
come from areas back of the fight
j ing lines where they probably be
! came infected through the presence
in those regions of many fighting
! divisions and labor battalions from
the tropics of Asia and Africa.
Dean Dyment was present at mili
tary operations both in the Argonne
j and in Flanders in territory that
had been frequented by colonial
i troops from the tropics with the
result that both water and soil be
came affected.
Dr. W. K. Livingston of the Uni
versity health service has returned
after spending a week in the labor
atories of Dr. C. A. Kofoid, the
noted protozoologist of the Univer
sity of California, in whose labora
tories about six hundred examina
tions a month are made for the
amoebic infection, the California
state board of health cooperating
somewhat in this work. Since Mr.
Dyment returned with an account
of Dr. Kofoid’s researches in the
field of pathogenic animal organ
isms several Northern physicians
have decided to go to Dr. Kofoid
for instruction in the diagnosis and
identification of the amoeba.
The University of Oregon medi
cal school may install a laboratory
simila> to the one maintained by
Dr. Kofoid for public service in the
Pacific. Northwest. From his ob
servations among ex-service men
around San Francisco bay, Mr.
Dyment believes the infection to
be fairly common in Oregon, al
though- it has been identified in
comparatively few cases.
Mr. and Mrs. Dyment will motor
south. They expect to return to
Eugene by the end of July.

Colonel Sinclair’s Plans Are
Favored by Officer
After an inspection of the class
work and drill of the local R. O. T.
C. unit and a review of Colonel Sin
clair’s plans fdr next year, Lieuten
ant Clare W. Woodward, assistant
to Major Jordan, R. O. T. C. officer
for the Ninth corps area, departed
yesterday afternoon for Corvallis
where he will join officers of the dis
tinguished rating "board who have
been, inspecting the R. O. T. C. units
at O. A. C. The next institution to be
inspected is the University of Wash
ington.
Lieutenant Woodward declares that
prospects are bright for a large en
rollment in the advanced course at
Oregon next year and expressed his
For tables, call Junior
Seton or the Campa
Shoppe, 229B
/
[approval of Colonel Sinclair’s plans
I for next year.
“There are some things the Col
ionel wants in order to advance the
work of the' military department.
[These things are needed, and I hope
J lie will get them,” said Lieutenant
Woodward.
No formal review was held for the
! benefit of the inspecting officer. Reg
jular class and drill work proceeded
1 as though he were not there.
| Captain Card of the motor trans
iport division of the R. O. T. C. at O.
A. C. was a visitor on the campus
j yesterday and was accompanied by
Lieutenant Woodward on his return
to Corvallis.
BEX
! Allan Divati's n< west comedy dra
ma, “A Broken Doll,” which comes
(o the Rex theater today only, is re
plete with thrills and attractive bits
of excitement. The action takes
place in one night and particularly
beautiful night effects of rain storm
carry out the mood of the story.
Monte Blue, who plays the leading
role in “A Broken Doll,” was brought
up on a ranch and is exceedingly fond
of horses. In the picture he has
numerous scenes with an aged crow
bait of long, lean visage, countless
protruding ribs and a shaky gait.
Monte insisted upon having a special
comfortable cart made for the ani
mal in which it was hauled each day
to location, looking, Monte said, much
like Madame Du Barry being hauled
to the guillotino. When the picture
was finished the horse was sent to
nice green pastures at Monte’s ex
pense, to be kept there for1 the rest
of his days.
