nROVILLE VS.
KEREMEOS

The game Sunday between the Oro-
v;l,e team and the one from keremeos
C.. was one Of the most interesting
not has been seen on the local
..o,nds during the season. Keremeos
nrasented a strong line up, but Oro-
.,,,,a now has one of the best collec-
,ion of players that has ever represent
I'D the town and if the boys keep up
thair lick they will be surprise to
tho strongest organizations in north
central Washington. They did better
bead work Sunday, played better as 4
,nit than ever before. In Moe, the To-
calls have marvelously efficient
n;,cher. we believe the best twirler
over seen on the local grounds. He
made no effort to do his best Sunday
only in one or two pinches. and then
there was nothing to it. with marvel
ous command of the ball, and every
trick in the scheme OF putting 'em
over where the batsman cannot con-
meet. he seems able to puzzle the best
hest of them. The few hits made by
Keremeos were on balls that Moe
merely tossed over with hardly
enough speed to carry the sphere to
the catcher. When a man was on base
he tightened up and the inning was
speedily over. The locals have both
an in and out field this year upon
which the pitcher can depend, and
while some of the players who are
not in the habit of falling down made
few grievious errors they cut no
figure in the result of the game. A
snappy double play, Moe to Davis to
Curtis in the fouth inning, and a
double steal by Davis and Bumgartner
in the same inning were features OF
the game. Keremeos has well bal
anced team and while at times the
playing was ragged in the main the
visitors held the locals to only few
runs. That veteran, Tom Daily, was
in the box. He was the keystone OF the
nine. Always dangerous at bat, always
good natured, playing the game from
the start Tom is one of the best ali
around players in this upper country.
To paraphrase the immortal bard.
age cannot wither nor custom stale
his infinite variety. Daily never pitch
ed better game than he did Sunday.
He was in his old time form and had
he had perfect support the game
would have been about to .. From
the side line point of view the lnle
was most interesting, though devoid
of excitement owing to the helpless
ness of the visitors, only two of whom
ever reached third base. At the insist
ant demand of the KeremeOs boys
Shorty" Wagner, manager of the
Oroville team, umpired the game, and
to his credit, and the credit of the
players, there was not protest on
decision, which is worthy Of mention
as protests usually enter largely into
the proceedings. The following is the
way the game was won and lost
