Oroville Now Leads in the Ok

Ball League

gan Valley Base Ball league came to
town full of hope and ginger Sunday
for the purpose of adding the scalps
of the Orovile youths to the collec-
ton of trophies already garnered, and
possibly might have done so had not
their crack pitcher, Ililderbrand, had
an off day We say might" but the
might is rather shadowy, for there is
q grave question of doubt as to the
ability of the 0nakers to have pulled
down the bacon even had Hildy been
going his best, for Daily was in his
old time form, he had eight live wires
a. his back, and the boys from up
country were clouting the ball and do
ing stunts in the field that would
hardly have permitted defeat under
any circumstances. The game started
out with the prospect of being swift
and hot, but in the second inning Hill
derbrand had a bad case of raZZle
dazzle. He hit three batsmen in row
and that together with bunch of
errors of omission and commission,
several swats and a close decision
took the heart out of the visitors.
Hildy was yanked in the middle of the
inning and Simpson substituted. Be-
fore Simpson could warm up irrevtrie-
vable damage was done and the game
lost. After that unfortunate inning
the game was hardly interesting and
rather colorlesg on the whole. 1t was
shut out up to the eighth, and that
inning should have been a blank, for
Kinney made palpable strike that
the umpire called a ball. 1t would
have been the third strike, the third
out and another goose egg. Daily let
up on his pitching after that and four
runs were the result. This :" 49, way
