Our base ball team is now at Chau
tauqua where they will play a series of
games with some of the fastest amateur
tennis of the northwest. Their prospects
for winning the silver cup are bright, as
they all have shown their ability a fast
congregation by - defeating, very fast
teams. They also showed skillful team
work. The boys who now composes the
team are as follows: Capt. Joe Tea bo,
a veteran ball player who is a catcher of
rear ability, and without doubt the best
around player on the team. His sub
stitute catcher is Alfred Lane, a very
cool headed and clever catcher; this is
his second year in base baU and with a
little more experience in the game, he
will be one of the best catchers Chema
wa ever had. On the initial bag we have
Leon Parker who is a hard, swift player
and also is a beginner in the game. He
fields His. position well and hits hard.
Joe Lane who covers second base is a
fast fielder and a good sticker. At short
we have our Wiry little Asa Bagnell
wlio is the fastest player on the team,
covering not only short, but also the
whole infield and also part of out field,
he is the best pinch hitter and in steal
ing bases he is hardly surpassed. In
the person of our baseman we have an
other clever player, at bat as well as in
the field, Peter Casey is always in the
game. Then the trio of our famous out
fielders, Levi Sorter, Thomas McCullv
and Earnest David, all being Meet footed
and capable of making sensational run
ning catches and are also snre hitters.
George Washoe is an utility man and a
fast intielder, and last but not least we
have two pitchers, whose standing any
pitcher would be proud of. Merl Poland
"it a pitcher who can easily hold his own
. with any amateur in the northwest, as
, he has already shown. Albert Payne
has all kinds of spud and a variety of
curves which c in puzzle most hatters
who face him, they are both filled their
position well and are good hitters.
With this team we are certain of vic
tory, and also the fact that the whole
team were in; the best of spirit, and
health when they left. GeniilMr. vamp
bell will look after their interests while
at Chantauqua. Rut one thing is certain
they will not starve as they ha ve our
Bobby Davis as their cook, we all know
how Bobby can put up a "square
meal" even he does wear glasses nowadays.
