,S.o a cinch for Oroville, although Omal
'as ayhting every inch of the way. The

a, third. 1t was sure out for thousand
links but the reliable third sacker, over
anvous 10 get his man, hurled the ball
s,r over Salings head, and the runner
.oostad on second. Then when the next
ha,ter hit to Provo, at short, the lad
hold the ball too long, and runner was
on first and third. He should have head
od off one or the other, and under ordin-
orv circumstances he would have done
90 easily. Newton dropped the foul tip
on the next batsman, which would have
haen the third strike and out had he held
II and the Eastman lne1 out the next
hall nitched for "a single, scoring two runs,
and there you are. The big thing was
off in the face of three easy chances. But
II is the chances of those slips that make
the game so uncertain, and hence so in
terestng. Daily tried hard to save the
game in the ninth by smashing out a
mighty three bagger, but the next two
batsmen ANONYMOUSLY fell down, and
the gallant effort went for naught. There
was dense gloom in this mans town.
Nevertheless it was a great game, one
to warm the cookies OF the heart of a
fan. and Omak is entitled to a full meas
ure of credit for winning. The visitors
rang in player from the strong Mans
field club, of the Douglas county league,
responsible for aiding to win the game,
blythe way, and one of the best of the
I'D strong protest, but the protest fell
on deaf ears. For a time it looked as
though there would not be a game, but
in order not to disappont tho crowd the
locals faced the odds against them. The
battery work of Daily and Newton for
0roville and Hiderbrand and Patten for
0mak was beautiful exhibition at
points. The last time Hildy pitched here
he was knocked out of the box. Sunday
he was in great form, and almost irwin
chile. Tommy Daily has never put up a
better vintage of ball this season. He
had the big Omak batters guessing all
the time, and moved them down like
ten pins. He played his position like a
professional without slip. AS stated be-
fore he was fully entitled to win. With
the exception of the awful eighth the
players were going like clock work.
Omak put up an errorless game, except
one bad throw in the first, and there few,
but fatal errors chalked up against the
locals Looked at from any angle it was
game well worth seeing and a credit to
both teams. 1t was freer from wrangling
over decisions than any game played in
Inc league. But for that matter there
was little chance for mistakes of judg-
ment. The following is the way it oc-
cured:
