DALLAS LOSES BOTH GAMES
PIucky ColIeglans Are Outplayed by
Willamette University and Salem
High School.

The Dallas College baseball team
went down to defeat In both games
played in Salem last week, although
making a good showing in each con.
test. The Salem Statesman gives the
following excellent account of the
games;
''What looked very much like defeat
for the Willamette university baseball
team in the early part of Friday s
contest with the Dallas college team,
was converted into a squelching
victory by the locals later on, who fell
in love with the delivery of the visit
ing pitchers benders and pounded
out win by score of to 2.
"True to their usual custom the locals
broke away poorly, and didn't get
going until the third inning, when
they ran up four tallies, going into the
lead, and holding their own comfort
ably to the finish. The game was
interesting throughout. This, in spite
of some heinous exhibitions of lack Of
knowledge in the very fundamentals
of the game that will have to be cor
rected if Willamette ever hopes to
make showing against real timber
Some fast fielding was done on both
sides, and for the size and age Of the
visitors they played fast game Of
ball. The pitching Of young Myer
was really better than it looks on
paper. He has some splendid shoots
and miles of steam Jerman pitched
better ball than he has before this sea-
son. He did not fan as many men as
his diminuitive opponent but he kept
the opposing batters busy. The fielding
behind him was much better than the
support given Myer.
"Neither side crossed the plate in
the opening session. In the second a
double by Reynolds, Sibley's single
and Craven's out, gave the visitors
their first and only score until the
ninth inning. The locals didn't score
until the third inning. In the closing
session, Dallas got another run home
on single by Craven, a bum throw
Of Jerman to catch him DOING at
first, and RAIDERS punk throw to first
on a missed third strike"

HIGH SCHOOL GAME.
'"The high school team plucked a
brand from the burning yesterday
afternoon on the Willamette university
campus and won out, where it had
almost lost, from the Dallas college
ball team by the close score Of to 2.
1t was fast game from start to finish
and but two poor plays were made to
mar its genuine beauty. Both Of these
we're responsible for the runs of the
contesting teams, and but for them the
teams might be playing yet, so evenly
matched were they.
"The visiting team played much
faster ball than it did in It's game
against Willamette on Friday There
was considerable more ginger in their
work and they made the local lads
extend themselves to win. High
school was there with the goods
throughout the session and took
advantage of every situation to place
itself in the lead
'The pitching Of King was revela-
ton to the visitors, who could do little
with his benders. He kept the hits
way down, allowing only five singles,
and no two came in a single inning.
A wild throw to the plate with men on
bases cost him a shut-out game.
Myer Of the visitors worked effect
lively throughout the nine innings in
spite of the fact that he had pitched
the day preceding. He was touched
up for eight singles by the high
schools, and was bit wild. A wild
pitch in the sixth inning with three
men on bases cost him the game, the
the three men coming home on the
play"
