WIN TWO, Lose TWO

The Oakes ball tossers played four
games the past week, winning from
the All American girls and Hecla, and
losing to Glendale and Gwinner.
The All Americans Thursday was
something easy. The girls were only
allowed to score once. Oakes piling
up nine to its credit. Biedenfeld. Of
Faulkton. s. d., the new pitcher Of
the Oakes team. put them over in, fine
style, and Manager Roberts thought
so well Of the All Americans pitcher
Fisher, that he copped him Just to
have second one handy.
At Fullerton Friday Glendale got
the best of the argument in a seven
inning game by score Of to S. This
is the second time Glendale has put
1t over on US this year. and Just look
out on the Fourth, there will be
something doing. Hubbard, Enger
and Crabtree formed the battery for
Glendale and Biedenfeld, Christen-
sen and Tracey for Cakes
Recla came up Sunday and tried to
retrieve for the last game. which shut
them out. Oakes gave them the small
end of the score again by. 9 to 3. Bat
teries, Vinson and Muzzy for Hecla,
Fisher and Tracey for Cakes.
Last evening the Gwinner boys
came over and put up a rafting good
game. The teams are nicely matched.
Gwinner scored once early in the
game and nary score would they al.
low Oakes until the sixth, when they
crossed the home plate once. BY the
end Of the seventh it stood 2 to 1 in
favor of Gwinner. 1t was too dark
then to play ball, but Oakes showed
a disposition to see her through and
only worsted instead of bettered the
affair. 1t ended to q in favor of
Gwinner. "Biedy" and Tracey held
the points for Cakes.
This evening Oakes plays at La.
moure at $3.50. c.,
