Astoria 10. chemawa 0. was the
score after the mud quit flying nt the
athletic grounds yesterday afternoon.
The list OF killed and injured will moi
be fully prepared until the surgeons
have finished with the victims. but
there were many casualties, two fights
and some wrangllng over the disposi-
tlon Of the remains. Some wanted the
dead inferred on the spot, while others
were In favor OF turning the bodies
over to the relatives
Chemawa outplayed Astoria In most
features OF the game, but the superior
weight Of the Astorians told. especially
IN mass plays and the Indians had 10
give way before averdupois They
made game battle. however, and the
feature OF the game was a pick up OF a
tumble by Moon OF chemawa, and n
run for goal. Moon. too, might have
fumbled. or hesitated, but he did not
and put II over for q for Chemawa, all
they got.
The game was not scientific one
by any means. Whenever there was n
punt on either side there was no tell
Ing what would become Of the ball.
Sometimes Il was returned for 10 yards
and some times Il kept going.
An extended account OF the game In
detail In unnecessary All the cranks
were there. and the rest don't want IT,.
There was considerable police inter-
ference during the game, Captain
Gammel having his hands fun most OF
the time. Uusually they were full Of
Indian, but at other times Il was the
ball or a cubic yard OF gravel he had
clasped to his chest, Gnmmel led n
busy life.
Graham played wherever they need
ed man. and did good work at sew
eral critical times.
Barker was lowering between life
and death most OF the afternon, but
escaped the Grim Destroyer by q
scratch. Once an Indian without any
OF the finer courtesles of the drawing
room reached for Barkers feet, and he
came down 40 hard the earth trembled
as far as the side lines and the grand
stand rocked. A small man with a coat
famed the flutterlng spark OF life and
Barker eventually went back into the
game. When he woke up in the arms
Of his friends he was smiling like
Little Eva" In Uncle Toms cabin and
gently asked man with a corrugated
face who was bending over him which
one OF the continents It was that flew
up and hit him. He seemed under the
impression It was South America, not
being able to believe that his mother
land would use him that way,
His face last night looked like Chi
nese map Of the Bad Lands.
One mans father was an agonzed
spectator Of the ruin being wrought, |
and at one time was disposed to remove
his coat and reduce the Indian census, |
but he finally decided to let nature take
her course.
The Indians, with some Justice, were
several times accused of roughlng It,
but as Astoria came right back there
was no aftermath OF kicking, except
on the part of Jim Smith of the Chem
awas. When the last half was all but
up Smith and Painter got together"
Smith had been using his elbow good
ieal, and Painter says Smith kicked at
him, whereupon Painter landed on
Smiths left eye, totally wreckIng 1t.
The fight was not as scientific as the
Britt Nelson go, but 1t lasted long
enough.
There was large crowd in attend
