Beavers

Inability to hit the ball at the right
time alone is responsible for the second
defeat this week of the Angel band by
the Beaver squad. The score of the
game yesterday was 6 to and the
Beavers were on the long end of it,
where they had no right to be. Delhi

ceived rotten support throughout the
same period both at bat and in the
field Gregg was hit hard, but kept
the bingles scattered so we'll that when
it looked like n shower of runs there
was nothing doing.
Jess Orendorff, who made an at
tempt to break out of baseball and
into journalism a few days ago, felt
the effects of his nerve-racking expert
ment, evidently, as he was the chief
offender on the Angelic side of the
house, letting in two runs that should
never have been counted. Delmas also
contributed one and Delhi cannot es-
cape criticism for at least one of
them. All the Angels, except the out
fielders, seemed to have their troubles
when it came to handling apparently
easy chances and before the third
inning was ended it looked like the
whole team had gone to pieces.

Hen Berry says that there are five
more games yet to be played before
the series ends and that the fans NAV
expect the Angels to take at least
four of them. Hen says it is all for
tunes of the game, and not hard luck
or lack of class or anything else that
might be wrong with the team.
Following is the tabulated score of
the game.
