REGINA DEFEATED
ALBANY, SCORE 3-1
Atheletics Hit Well But Not As
Timely As Did the Canadian
Team.
BIG CROWD WITNESSED
SPLENDID CONTEST SUNDAY,
Local Team Showed Lack of
Practice Against Experi
enced Ball Tossers.'
The candidates for Manager Hu
len's Regina, Western Canadian
league team defeated the Albany
Athletics in a fast game before a
large crowd at the Athletic park yes
terday afternoon by a score of 3 to
1. The Albany fellows surely had
the idea, as attested by their eight hits
as against Rcgina's five, but their op
ponents were more experienced and
better trained for the fray. It was
the second time Albany's team had
been together during the season,
while the Regina boys have been hav
ing a stead y grind of practice for the
past two weeks. Manager Senders
expressed himself this morning as be
ing perfectly satisfied with the result
as it was far above his expectations.
Although Albany o'uthit Regina, the
Canadians handled the ball in much
better shape. Their better headwork
was demonstrated throughout the
game to which may be attributed
much towards their victory.
There were several critical points
during the game, when it appeared
as though Albany would gain several
runs, but the Reginas held fast and
invariably managed to pull out of the
hole. Several of Regina's men died
on bases, especially on one occasion
when the bases were full with one
man out, the spectators were treated
to an unusual performance when Bill
Patterson settled down, and with a
determined and confident look on his
face, fanned one of Regina's beat
batters and the other poped an infield
fly which was easily fielded by Swan,
on second base.
The Canadians scored their first
run in the second, when Jack Har
greaves went to first base on an in
field error, and reached second on a
wide throw. He came home on
Cook's well placed single over the
short stop's head. Their second
score came in the fourth in practic
ally the same manner. However, Har
greaves was walked this time and
reached second on an out at first,
scoring on Cook's second single be
tween first and. second. The third
score came in during the fifth inning
when Jewett singled and was sac
rificed to second by Weckler, Jcwctt
scored on Hills' well placed hit in
left field.
The local team scored its first and
'only run in the sixth, when Bigbce
singled and went to third when Catch
er Davidson, of Regina, threw jhe ball
away trying to catch him at first.
Bigbec scored on Swan's out at first,
game for Albany allowing only five
hits. He fanned several of Rcgina's
best men. Dave Patterson, Bill's
brother played a splendid game be
hind the bat for the local team, but
fell down when it came to throwing
to second. Colbert on first played
well and his batting was a feature
as well as Swan's, who played the
second sack. Lee played a fair game
at short, but showed lack of practice.
Bigbee, who played on the third bag,
performed his usual good style and his
batting was an important factor of
ihe game for Albany. Senders played
a switched line-up in the field, send
ing in Mickle and Monson, in left
and center, during the fore part of the
contest and later relieving them with
Ryals and C. Mickle. Martin played
right during the entire game. Every
one of the fielders grabbed in several
splendid chances. Mickle and Monson
did fairly well at the bat considering
the amount of practice they have f
and Martin is reputed to be a big
sticker, from, the way he handled
his bat yesterday.
Bier pitched the first six innings for
Regina and Hulen then sent Mcln
tyre, a Medford lad, who joined the
stuad yesterday, to the mound for
a try out. Davidson appeared behind
the bat for Bier and Baker caught for
Mclntyre.
SWITCH ENGINE DERAILED
ON ACCOUNT OF ROAD BED
One of the switch engines in the
local yard ran off the track opposite
the Hammond Lumber Company on
First street, yesterday afternoon
shortly after one o'clock but no dam
age was done.
The accident was caused by a weak
road bed which gave away under the
weight of the heavy engine, causing
the rails to spread. Workmen were
busy all of the afternoon in an effort
to repair the track and replace the lo
comotive, and the task was accom
plished shortly alter 5 o'clock.

ALBANY HIGH AND REGINIAS
HOLD PRACTICE TRYOUT
' The Albany High Schoql and the
Reginas played a practice game of
baseball ' Saturday afternoon at the
Athletic park. The game could not
be considered a contest as both sides
played regardless of formalities as it
was merely'a practice try out for both
sides.
The local high school boys were not
considered a match for the Canadians,
but showed up splendidly and it is
the belief that they will prove to be a
strong aggregation during the coming
season. No track of the run and the
innings were kept.

ARCHDEACON CHAMBERS
PREACHED STRONG SERMON
Disregarding of Church May
Lead to Undermining of
United states.
Declaring that ""the continuous dis
regarding of the church by American
people would in his opinion lead to
the complete undermining of the
United States, Archdeacon Chambers
preached a forccable sermon last eve
ning at the Episcopal church.
"People of this country -pay too
much attention to baseball games and
theaters on Sunday, thereby disregard
ing the church," said the archdeacon,
"and if this state of affairs continues
to exist throughout the present gene
ration into the next, it is my opinion
that people would become non-church
goers and this will ultimately lead to
the downfall o'f the grand , republic
which we now have."
He further stated that church going
should he regarded as compulsory, as
it is regarded in many places in Eu
rope. CORVALLIS SCHOOLTEACHERS
