| + | |
- | | + | |
- | MATCH GAME - On Saturday last the game came
| + | |
- | off between the Pioneers and the Clackamas's at Oregon
| + | |
- | City. The day was very fine, and at six o'clock all
| + | |
- | the party, accompanied by a number of ladies from this
| + | |
- | city, started out on the ''Senator''. They were met by the
| + | |
- | first nine of the Clackamas Club and the Oregon City
| + | |
- | brass band, and escorted to the Barlow House, where
| + | |
- | the party did ample justice to a splendid breakfast. They
| + | |
- | then proceeded to the ground, about a mile from the city,
| + | |
- | and the game began. A mistake was made in laying out
| + | |
- | the ground, the pitcher, basemen, and fielders, all were
| + | |
- | stationed facing the sun. This was unfortunate, as the
| + | |
- | playing was made unpleasant by this disposition of the
| + | |
- | men. After the game, they returned to the Barlow House
| + | |
- | for dinner. After dinner, the champagne began to
| + | |
- | circulate with the following results. The following toasts
| + | |
- | were drank:
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * By T. F. Miner, President, on behalf of the Pioneer
| + | |
- | B.B. Club. "The Clackamas Base Ball Club of Oregon
| + | |
- | City, second in the field, by date of organization, may
| + | |
- | the day soon come when it will be first by right of
| + | |
- | championship."
| + | |
- | * Responded to by J. L. Barlow, President of the Clackamas
| + | |
- | B.B. Club. "The Pioneer Base Ball Club of Portland,
| + | |
- | the champion club of Oregon, may they wear their
| + | |
- | laurels until fairly won from them."
| + | |
- | * Offered by Steel. "America's sons of the Base Ball
| + | |
- | fraternity, who for four years dropped the ''bat and ball''
| + | |
- | to carry the <i>musket and ball</i> until they made the rebels
| + | |
- | bawl for quarter."
| + | |
- | *Offered by ----, "<i>The Ladies</i> -- We admire them for
| + | |
- | their beauty, appreciate them for their intelligence,
| + | |
- | adore them for their virtue and love them because we
| + | |
- | cannot help ourselves."
| + | |
- | *Offered by ----, "The Ladies present from Portland."
| + | |
- | *Reponded to by ----, "The Ladies of Oregon City."
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Afterward facetious remarks and speeches were in order
| + | |
- | and many availed themselves of this opportunity of>
| + | |
- | immortalization. We note the following:
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Conundrum--by Steel--Why are the members of the
| + | |
- | Clackamas Base Ball Club like the people of Rome? Because
| + | |
- | they have a Pope among them.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | The Pioneers returned to this city on the ''Senator'', much
| + | |
- | pleased with the courtesy and kindly feeling manifested
| + | |
- | by the Clackamas Base Ball Club. This is the first match
| + | |
- | game ever played in the State and it is a splendid beginning.
| + | |
- | Much applause is due the Oregon City boys. Their
| + | |
- | club has been organized but a short time, and they have
| + | |
- | so well improved their time that we predict that but a
| + | |
- | short time will pass before they wear the laurels. After
| + | |
- | the game they offered the winners the ball, which was
| + | |
- | very properly refused, as the game was a friendly one
| + | |
- | and not for blood. The following is the scorer's report:

- | It will be seen that the Clackamas Nine rapidly gained

- | as the game advanced and the Pioneer Nine played carelessly

- | toward the last. The first was also obliged to
| + | |
- | change Barlow for Zigler in the second inning which
| + | |
- | worked disadvantageously.
| + | |
- | In justice to the short stop, it is well to state he is
| + | |
- | required to help the whole of the base players, and
| + | |
- | particularly the first, and a good proportion of the number
| + | |
- | put out by the first base player ought to be credited to the
| + | |
- | short stop. J. ANDERSON, Umpire. H.T. LEVINS, Scorer.
