Monday morning the third game of
the series between the Republics and
Picked nine was extremely exciting,
and Republic won by one of those slips
that make base ball so uncertain. In
the sixth inning a dinky fly was popped
up in the in field, close to second base.
by Jones. Reese could easily
have taken the fly, and is an almost
a certain catch. but the pitcher called
the short stop, who had to run a long
distance, and the ball was dropped.
That error, and one at first immedi-
ately following, gave Republic five
runs. DAILY pitched again, and barring
out the sixth inning, when the base
hits were made after three chances,
held the Republic sluggers down to
three safeties. Lowery also pitched a
fine game and had admirable support
not an error being made by the Re-
public boys after the second inning
The following is the score:

The Monday afternoon game between
Oroville and Republic drew out a very
large attendance, and proved to be one
of the most exciting of the series. Both
teams were out to win, and the crowed
was keyed up to high tension. The
game was in doubt until the last man
was out. Take the games throughout
with the single exception of the last,
and they were exceedingly close. so
close that slip at any stage of the
proceedings would have changed the
result. There was a protracted wran-
Ole over a decision in this game, but
that is an unpleasant feature liable to
occur in any game. When the last
man was out and the home team was
in the lead the crowd roared its salts
faction. Lowery started in to pitch,
but the locals lined out four safe hits,
and he was pushed out and Foran sub
stituted. Hits were scattered after
the change, but the few attached came
at the right time. The game opened
looking blue, for Foran, second man
up. lined out home run far over
Blackler's head in left field, and kiehl
followed by a single, but Miller
drove a liner to Knauff, who caught
Kiehl at second, closing the round
After that the game was close up to
the seventh, when Republic forged
ahead with four runs. They did not
keep the lead long, for Oroville came
back with four in the eighth. The
following is the record:

The game Tuesday morning was be-
tween the Oroville and the picked
nine. and the boys showed the effects
Of the strain. The players were slow
on their feet at the start, and errors
were frequent and costly, From a
plaving point of view, taking the per-
formance of the two mines, and 1t was
the poorest exhibition of the tourna-
ment. There were numerous snappy
nlavs scattered through the nine IN
ninps. but there was an absence OF
