THE MOUSING OKEGONLLN, MAY 19, 1919.
SENATORS' SLUGFEST
T
A great many athletes. Instead of ac
cepting a mistake as a part of the
pastime, are constantly trying to offer
some excuse that will pardon the of
fense. A poor infield, a high wind, a
heavy track, and the poor old umpire
are just a few of the many alibis sprung

time and time again during the season.
With a great many managers the ilim,
goes a considerable distance, but not
with Mr. Hughey Jennings. Hughey
doesn't regard player or umpire perfect,
and expects both to make mistakes.

Beavers Weak at Bat.

but when such things happen the less
said to Jennings about the tangle the
better for those concerned. The old
alibi has no particular place on the
Detroit club. Most of the players know
it, and as a result the Tigers accept
the bitter with the sweet and are not
always offering excuses for a defeat.
They are out on the field trying to cut
off runs and make base hits, which pro
duce runs. That is the line of reason
ing on which Jennings works.

SACRAMENTO. Cal., May 18. (Spe
cial.) It was another slug-fest at Buf
falo park today with the senators on
the heavy end of the hicKorv bombard
ment. With Bill Piercey on the mound
for the locals, McCredie's Beavers
seemed unable to clout 'em much when
hits meant runs. On the contrary, Red
Oldham was found for thirteen safe
ones, most of them in clusters, and Sac
ramento won, score 8 to 3.
Sacramento started scoring In the.
third, Pinelli's base on halls. Middle
ton's double and Eldred's single and
stolen base, putting over the first pair
of runs of the game. The Rodgers crew
reepated in the next canto when Mc
Caffigan's walk, followed by Gus Fish
er's four-base clout, brought the local
count up to four.
Beaver Wake TCp 'in Sixth.
In the very next frame Rosy Middle
ton led off for his third successive
swat of the afternoon performance.
Brick Eldred received an Oldham twist
In the hip pocket. Wolter windniilled.
Murray, playing first in place of Griggs,
who sprained an ankle in Friday's
game, singled to right. Middleton reg
istered. Orr singled to right. Eldred
scoring. McGaffigan clicked one at
Oldham, who retired Murray at third.
Fisher singled to right and Piercey
did a Gus Hill.
In the first of the sixth came a re
vival of Beaver batting propensities.
Oldham opened the meeting with a
double into left. . "Baby" Blue poled
one out of the inclosure. over the boards
in right. Then Piercey tightened up
and the next three batters were
straightway disposed of.
Beavers Play Loosely.
Sacramento scored another in the
eighth on McGaf f igan's triple to the
fence in deep left center, and Fisher's
eingle to right.
Portland put her third and final tally
over in the ninth. Oldham walked.
Farmer got life on McGaf f igan's weird
Jeg, stole' second and third, arriving
safely upon Cox's infield out.
The visitors played a listless' and
loose game for the most part, a couple
of star catches by Maisel in center
standing out like a pair of solitaire dia
monds on a dull necktie from the work
fo the rest of the Beaver bunch.
McGaffigan pulled off a couple of
thrilling fielding stunts at second.
Eldred and Middleton each made a nice
running catch on long drives. Score

REED TENNIS TO RESUME

TO
Daydodger and Dormitory
Track
for
and; Field Men Practice
Meet May 3 0.
Heed college tennis day, slackened
by wet weather, is expected to resume
full sway this week in the doubles and
singles for men and women. Professors
Wooddy and Gray, two crack faculty
players, are looking over the racquet
wielders to choose a three-man team
which will be sent to Oregon Agricul
tural college to represent Reed in an
informal tournament. Clayton Weath
erly, Harold Robinson, and Herbert
Swett probably will be picked for this
event.
In the doubles tournament Wilson
and Ellsworth, juniors, were eliminated
by Hessert and Chamberlain, "fresh,"
score 6-4, 6-4. The sophomore team,
Brockway and Zollinger, are due for
defeat by Robinson and Weatherly, who
should also win the finals by beating
Shumway and Swett. as the latter team
is sure to reach the finals through
lack of competition.
Singles contests promise to be close
and hard fought, as a number of stars
are in the lineup. A handsome silver
cup is up to stimulate further competi
tion. The best prospects are Zollinger,
Swett, Brookway, Shumway. C. Wilson.
Hessert, Weatherly and Robinson. Out
of this group the race will narrow down
to Robinson, Swett and Weatherly, with
the finals probably between the latter
two men, who have had experience in
city meets.
Relays are popular Reed track events.
Next Friday 20 men will compete in
220-yard laps. Daydodger and dormi
tory tracksters are turning out to prac
tice for the track and field meet May
30. which is a revival of track sport
after three years of dormancy at Reed.
Neither team has an apparent advan
tage in material.
Inter-class baseball seems to be
cinched by the Junior sophomore team,
which playB the freshmen and the
upperclass team for the championship
this week. Next week the rival day
dodgers and dormitory will meet for
the deciding game.
Swimming has been claiming a num
ber of men and women devotees at Reed
in spite of cold water.

Echoes From Hempen Square.
TESS WILLARD blames Jack Curley
tl and Tom Jones for trying to hurt
his reputation. Just how you can hurt
something that "ain't" is a question.
How do you get that way, Jess?
Of course, if Willard wants to call
his war i -cord a reputation, allright,
but if he has any head at all on his
shoulders he should be willing to let
that matter drop.
Willie Meehan lost another fight in
Pittsburg. One good thing about Willie
is that he never knows when he's
whipped.

L'GHEY JENNINGS, famous leader
of the Detroit Tigers, is nothing
if not original. When Hughey was a
player lie was noted for his ability to
get hit on balls that cut the heart of
the plate. Now Hughey always wasn't
allowed to go to first base, but he al
ways was stirring up some action for
the umpire. In the coaching line, Jen
nings, when he came to the American
league, gave the fans something new
to gaze upon and listen to. Instead of
using the old stereotyped line of chat
ter and standing in the usual position
assumed by the coacher, Hughey put
on an acrobatic exhibition that would
have done credit to a big time perform
er and cut loose with a vocabulary
most of which Noah Webster knew
nothing about.
It really is surprising the wonderful
interest the fanss howed In the stunts
put over by Jennings. S omuch public
ity was given his methods it was be
lieved each move meant something, each
unintelligent word a bit of advice. Some
scribe printed a story to that effect and
it was spread broadcast. It was a
great piece of publicity and Hughey
realized it. Ho went through all kinds
of acrobatic motions, and each day
pulled some wild shriek that was a
bit different from anything he did the
preceeding day. The fans fell for the
chatter. For a week or so atfer the
story was printed I though there mifrht
be somethin gto it myself, but soon de
cided otherwise.
Now for another anglo of the game
in which Jennings holds a unique po
sition. In baseball ho old alibi is the
most overworked feature in the game.
