CHEMAWA vs. BROOKS. . .
fhfi second baseball team went to
Brooks on Saturday afternoon and met
the team of that town. The game was
iaved on a diamond located in an oat
field, which was very, soft and rough,
and which accounted for the few costly
errors made by the Chemawa boys that
lost the game. ,
Some time was spent in looking for
t(ie ball every time it was fouled off
into the grain and this of course made
the game very slow.
At the beginning of the game it look
ed like an easy victory for Chemawa,
who made three hits and one run in the
first half of inning number one. The
home team came up after having retired
the visitors, only to be sent back to the
field without a hit or run. The game
went on in this order until the third in
ning, when Brooks made three runs. In
the fourth they made on- and in the
fifth one more, the score now standing
5 to 1. But in the sixth Chemawa
made two runs thereby raising their
total to 3. At the end of the seventh
the score stood 8 to 3, and in the eighth
things looked pretty bright for Chema
wa as they started a rally and ran three
men across the plate, Brooks registering
once. Tn the ninth a new pitcher went,
in for Brooks and celebrated the occasion
by fanning two of thrt-e batters to face
him, thus ending the game 'with the
score standing 9 to ( in favor of Brooks.
The game wa- umpired by Mr. Tea bo
and at no time during or after the game
were his decisions questioned.
The Chemawa boys made more hits
t 'an did their opponents, but were lack
ing the coaching while on bases and
pinch hitting, and as a 'result, about
twelve men .were left on bases during
the game, and who, with the aid of these -two
important branches of baseball may
have scored. ' .
