Springfield high school dropped
two baseball games this post week,
the first to University high, 74.
and the second to Pleasant Hill,
7-0. Both games were played on
their opponent's fields.
The ta m e against the Eugene
school was a thrilling affair the two
teams battling nip and tuck all the
wav. The scores were tied at 1-X,
2-2, 3-3, 4-4, and 5-6, but University
high came to bat last, and conse
quently they scored the most runs
The winning marker came In the
last half of the ninth Inning.
The batteries for pringfleld were:
Lynch, pitcher; Mattison catcher.
For University high they were
Kneeland. pitcher; Smith, catcher.
In the game with Pleasant Hill,
the trouble was too much pitching
by Mauney. the Hill hurler. Spring
field was able to garner Just two
hits, and their opponents had little
difficulty in winning tbe game. The
batteries for Springfield
were
Robeson, pitcher, and Hartman,
catcher; for Pleasant Hill Hill,
Mauney. pitcher. Pebbles, cacther.
A game is scheduled by Spring-
field to play University high here
