Notes fbom Our Base Ball Boys
at Chautauqua
play ball, boys; '
poor,Merl,feels lonesome for Chemawa!
A victory of 10 to 7. That sounds
encouraging.
Who wrote the first letter to Chemawa ?
McCully of course.
The school base-ball team is located
on the same grounds it had in the pre
vious years.
Miss Irene and Herbert Campbell
went to Vancouver on Thursday to
visit friends.
Misses Irene Campbell and Woods
after witnessing the game Wedn esday,
say it was simply "fun."
Poland says that the latest, in the line
of White Shirts, is "Those Kind of Black
White Shirts," they're swell.
" A party of the base-ball team went to
Portland Sunday to visit the City Park
and other points of beneficial interest.
Call at Poland's tent No. 262 for Post
al Cards; 25 and 15 cents each. Inti
mate friends only may have one free of
charge. . . . ...
Chemawa met defeat in their first
game of the series, at the hands of the
Vancouver team. The score being 7-8
in ten innings. '
Chemawa camping grounds are part
ly enclossd by a new style of fence made
of young firs, trimmed with bunting, and
the American flag as, a door at the en
trance. The Athletic Directors, at Chautauqua
have decided that Multnomah did not
win the game from Chemawa as Meyers
of the Gun Club, purposely stopped a
passing ball and thie it lo the players
on the diamond, thereby causing Chema
wa to lose a run and tieing the score.
We are playing "blocked-ball" now
which we consider gives us the right of
playing the game over again as the
others have had the chance to "rob" a
game, which we have not had since the
"blocked-ball" r-ule came into effect.
At 6:15 Saturday afternoon the mem
bers of the Chemawa aggregation as
sembled at the track to witness the foot
race between two fast men of the camp,
Mr. Washoe and Parker. Parker was
defending the title of northern Califor
nia, while Washoe defended southern
part. Starter Casey called the race at
6 sharp and at that time the race, started.
Washoe took the lead from the start,
and Parker, was just about half way
ploughing and purring in effort to get
his "spikes" in motion, but alas! it was
too late. Washoe had finished and was
heard to remark, pshaw! I'didn't know
I was so swift. Time 16 seconds. Dis
tance 100 yards. '
Indian Discipline
From the St Paul. Dispatch. .
As an evidence of Indian discipline
over their children the entertainment
they gave here a few nights ago showed
that reverence for the chiefs could hold
even the youngesters in line. A number
of traveling men on the front seats scat
tered nickles on the stage, and the little,
: fellows who were ranged in a line at the
back of the stage in front of their mothers
scrambled for the money. But no mat
ter how ' many coins were thrown while
the old 'chiefs were 'making their talks,
not a move was made by the pappooses
until the talk was finished ; then there
was a general scramble until the money
was all collected.
