2 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Any reader of the Sunday Journal Sporting page undoubtedly noticed a brief account of the Willamette-Che-mawa game which was to be played Saturday morning, and would have been played, if, the "Braves" would have been justly, treated, but that almighty "if," and in view of the fact that for some unknown reason, there is consider able rivalry between the Chemawa In dians and Willamette students, and that they have already crossed bats . twice during the present season, each team succeeded to win one game. The University team manager in order to be sure of the game secured a certain, Mr. Long, whose brother plays in the Uni versity team as umpire. In the first in ning the "Braves" crossed the plate once, while in their turn at bat Willa mette managed to score three runs on errors. It was in this inning that the -big center fielder, Mr. Long, in trying to dodge from a pitched ball, claimed that the ball hit him, and to make sure the little fellow rolled around, groaned, and almost twisted his face out of shape, then the umpire, sympathizing with the rest of the Willamette aggregation, allowed poor Long to take first base. Poor fel low he was terribly hurt. But in reality the ball hit his bat; any way to get to a base now-a-days. In the next half, Sorter, our right fielder had the same experience as Long, only he didn't go through the same performance, but immediately started for first base, and umpire Long refused to allow him to go, and called a ball on him, but you noticed that Mr. Umpire was pretty sure to allow his brother to go to first, and as for letting Sorter go to first. Oh no, that was beyond the ques tion, he couldn't see it that away. Here i where Capt. Teabo wisely called his team off of the field. Unpire Long of fered to change his dicision, but what can you expect of an umpire like that. We are done wich Willamette, because we are for clean sport. "Its the same old story with Willam ette" as a Corvallis man stated. j PUPTCS TCGlttS j Bessie Lahr is working in the mess. -Miss Preuss was in Salem shopping Monday.
