Boys from Hill Hand Neat Drubbing
to OrOvllle Team In Fast Game
Last Sunday.

Mr.. Bunch, the submarine delivery
artist, who filings the twists for the
hill billy fellows who take their nour-
ishment at Nelson. came down off the
summit Sunday and handed out a
bunch Of trouble for the Oroville gang
that ornament the diamond on the oc-
| casions when the diamond is to be or
namented. Mr.. Bunch is quite young,
elongated gentleman who does not
really look as though he had it in him
but he has, as any one who witnessed
the Sunday ball game will testify, and
especially those who faced his up
Fshoots and found so much difficulty
in connecting. 1t was cold blooded
massacre. for Oroville did not have a
looking throughout nine innings. The
way Bunch and his heartless. hackers
moved down the boys from the land
Of the alfalfa, and Bunch did most of
the moving, was shocking to see. The
innocent air has not had such pound
ing for many year. for not only did
the OrOville batsmcn waste many a
swing upon the atmosphere but that
boy Buck Ford was no slouch at
putting the dark stuff on the bean
and the visitors swung often and
widely and not too we'll, both to their
surprise and modification. With Is
strike outs to the credit of Bunch and
IA for Ford 1t win be observed that
the bat was not very useful weapon
in the hands Of those who were yield
ing 1t.
So far as pitching was concerned
the two mounders were worthy OppOn-
ents, with Bunch having shade the
best of it, but in batting and fielding
Nelson played rings around the Oro-
vile collection. Nelson went through
the session without slip in the field
and accumulated seven safeties, while
Oroville hit the ball but three times
for bases and are charged with three
errors of commission with no record
of errors of omission. 1t was a good
game to look upon, anyhow, even If
the home team had to be fed up on a
row of goose eggs, and Nelson is to
be congratulated upon having crack
team that plays clean ball. But this
is nothing new for Nelson, as it has
had teams hard to beat in the past,
and deserves to have that kind of a
team from the loyal backing extended
by the town the team represents.
Although Thompson for Nelson
opened the second inning with safe
drive between second and first and
a perfect bunt that went for safe hit
the next two batters were moved
down on strikes, it was not until the
sixth that run was put across and
then they came in bunch of two, due
to raw errors. BjOrklund was out on
line drive to Blue Dunlap hit to
Blue. who threw high to first, and the
runner was safe. ROthgeb dropped
Delisle's high fly to left, Dunlap 60
ing to third and Delisle going to sec
ond. Thompson, who hit the ball every
time he went to bat, shot single
through short, scoring Dunlap. Bunch
hit to right scoring Delisle, but in
attempting to stretch his hit to two
bases was thrown out Killian to Bum
gartner
Henning started trouble in the sew
| enth with a clean single through
second. Mcdowell struck out. Gilbert
secured the only pass issued by Ford
Bjorklund rolled little one to Ford
There was ample time for double
play, but Hayden let the ball GO
through when Ford threw to cut off
Henning at third and the runner scor-
ed. The next two batters were easy
outs.
The visitors got on to Ford in the
eighth for two singles and double
that netted two more runs. both earn
ed. McCrory struck out. Thompson
