The Blythe City baseball team con"
sisting of a fast aggregation of stars
and near-stars recruited from busi-
ness houses and grading camps de-
feated the Irish team from Sunnyside
district by a score of II to on Bly,
the diamond last Sunday.
This first game of a series brought
to light some speedy players from
among the new comers into the val
ley The town team led off i'm the
first inning with three runs and
were never overtaken by the plough
pushers in spite of Newt Robinson's
efforts to pull off a seventh inning
rally.
Oscar Berg occupied the mound
for the village team and during the
six innings that his throwing arm
lasted the up-country players famed
the air in vain efforts to lose the
ball. Bruce Geary took Berg's place
N the box in the seventh inning but
failed to show anything in the way
Of fancy pitching except a terrible
wind-up and the Sunnysiders soon
solved this. Barlow, who learned hos
trade in the wilds of Cibola, finished
in the box for the town boys and
held the visitors down to one hit
during the two innings that he pitch
ed.
Shorty Gillel,',e manager Oh
the Irish team, stood on the side
lines and smoked good cigars and
yelled himself hoarse by way Of en-
couragement to his Emerald hopes
)ut failed to get the desired results
He left after the game vowing ven
geance when the teams come togethd
for a St. Patrlck's Day clash next
Sunday.
Wood, a recent conner into the Pale
Verde, who had big rep to back
up entered the box for the out-of
town team during the last innings
on the ball but went wild at inter
walls. Except for an occasional heave
at big mesquite in the direction Oh
Ehrenberg he displayed some rea-
class as a pitcher
The Clay IN boys played UP to
their old time form and were the
mainstay of the Sunnyside nine. Car
Layton, the village blacksmith's ap
prentice, made the star play of the
day when he pulled off double play
out in the right field.
The game next Sunday promises
to be fast one as the Irish team
will be celebrating in honor of St
Patrick
