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.
