Not fly was knocked to the Okano-
gan o.It field.
The infield of moth mines was tight as
a chicken fence
In five innings 80 Okanogan boys

1t was perfect day for ball playing
and in consequence almost 4 perfect
game was played
1t is not often that an amatuer game
is played with only two ticldinS errors,
but that happened Sunday.
Little or no money was los, or won
on the game, which is as it should be
For one. as an intense lover of the
sport we believe in keeping the game
clean.
The Okanogan boys came through
from home in three automobiles, and
as the game was rushed through spec
div were able TO make the return trip
the same afternoon.
In the fourth Blackler sent a high
foul far to the left, seemingly out of
reach by any iie!der, but A. Michael,
the third basemaIi made a grand sprint
and captured the ball He was given
the applause the play deserved
The Oroville crowd was magnani-
nous in victory. Recognizing the mer-
itorious playing of the visitors there
was no rubbing the raw with vocifer-
Gus cheering at the close of the con-
test. 1t Is not often that home crowd
is so chivalrous.
Harry Stark, the Okanogan catcher,
had day Off as all players have, and
two or the runs made were chargable
to passed balls Stark is veteran in
the game. and in his day there were
few amatuer catclIers that could sur
pass him in the position. He is not as
young as he once was, and time tells
on the best of them.
Jack Myers is not an authority on
base ball. but he umpired more to the
satisfaction of all concerned than any
man who has filled the thankless posi-
tion on the home grounds He did not
have many close plays to rule on,as
the outs generally were simple ones,
and the only chance TO get off wer"
on balls and strikes. Here hOnors
were even.
In the fourth inning Fred Hart was
struck in the forehead by a pitched
ball hard enough to have Drained an
OK. The impact sounded just exactly
as though the ball had hit thu bat
and as the bali rolled out to second
base many in the crowd would not be-
lieve Hart had been nit. He was, lust
the same, as the lump on his forehead
goes TO prove. II did not prevent him
from playing ont the game,
Things looked dismal for the home
team :or few minutes in the nintnh,
and the crowd was keyed up to the
highest tension. The first batter up
was out. Then Jayne knocked a high
fly to Wilson Everybody thought it
was a sure out. but Wilson dropped
the ball Stark followed with - safe
hit sending Jayne to third, following
it up by stealing second. Then people
in their excitement crowded down onto
the diamond With man on third
and second and only one out it looked
like an aerOplanC. DAILY struck out
Then Johnson made mighty swat
and the Dull sailed lar out to center.
If Wilson let it go by two runs We're
sure to score. Wilson proved equal to
the occasion and redeemed himself by
running back and freezing to the
sphere. rEe agony was over.
