The Salem high school team put
up surprise for the U. of Q. bunch
yesterday, when they had them buff
faloed to 1 until the eighth in
ming, when the visitors punched in
some hard hits, and on a couple Of
Salem's errors brought in two more
runs, making the final score to 2
for Oregon"
The University men came to Salem
yesterday, after beating the Indians
8 to 2, with the expectation of an
easy game with the high school, but
after their first lone run in the first
inning and hardly ever seeing first
after that until the eighth they be-
gan to get a little worried and put
up the hardest kind of scrap they
could.
Coach Bezdeck became a little sore
during the game when the umpire,
Bishop, made him stop giving sig
nails to his men from the bench and
told him that IL he wanted to coach
to get on a suit. He seemed to be
suffering little mental agony until
their Oregon luck" in the eighth,
when a relieved expression again
overspread his face. Bezdeck claim
ed that he had a right to coach his
men from the bench, but not so by
the rule book, although II is done by
many college teams.
The high school team played the
game of their lives yesterday al
though they made a few more errors
than usual, but the errors were few
considering the difficult chances they
accepted. Keene was more than n
match for the visiting twirlers al
though they put Clifford in the box !
to relieve Beck in the seventh in
ming. Keene struck out men 10
only 1 strike out by Beck and did |
not walk a man, to walked by Beck |
and II was generally said among the !
varsity men that they could not find |
them In the way they were used TO. |
Even "Dud" Clark failed to get in
any of his phenominal batting.
Jones put up excellent backstop work
for Keene and the whole team play
ed the game. Captain Roberts at

he made errors. The work of the II
helders was good yesterday, especial
y Carey who gathered in difficult
ones although he made a bad error ,
on grounder in the eighth. In the
sixth Dyer was put in Moores posi-
ion at right field and got a nice little
hit which scored Jones.
For Oregon" Kestley did excel
ent work in right field and Clark,
who went to the bench with
iprained foot in the seventh gathered
n everything at shortstop. Paine
played an errorless game at first,

llso played a great game.
