“DENTISTS PLAY O.A.C.
NORTH PACIFIC NINE CONFIDENT OF VICTORY
Seven Out of Nine Games Captured This Season - Quesenberry to Start on Mound
The North Pacific Dental college baseball team will leave for Corvallis this morning where the Dentists cross bats with the Oregon Agricultural college nine this afternoon. North Pacific and the Oregon Aggies met in a two-game series here recently with the latter taking both games. Manager Miller of the local tossers is confident that his combination will be able to stop the Aggies this afternoon.
The Dentists have won seven out of nine games including an early season start against the University of Oregon team. Quesenberry or McLaughlin probably will start on the mound for North Pacific this afternoon.”
(The article continues for two more paragraphs discussing the schedule, but that is the last mention of Quesenberry or any other team members.)
The SSDI lists Ernest Quesinberry, born 13 Sep 1898, died June 1970, last residence Corvallis, Benton Co., Oregon.
