That is the way Nelson smeared /,
over the Oroville ball team Wednesday
AFTERNOON. So long as the Oroville team
will not practice and changes its line.
up eevry time there is a game the
same smearing can be expected. A
pitcher alone cannot win games He
must have some support And then it is
| in order to garner runs.
Strange to say, in the face of all the
errors and lack of punch and pep on
the part of the locals, up to the ninth
inning the score was very close, but
in that session the Oroville team kind
ly contributed five errors and the Wis.,
itors were not slow in putting the
game on ice. Oroville tried out three
pitchers, but it was not the fault of
the pitchers that the Nelson boys did
their scoring.
From bystander's point of view
the game was amusing if not of an ex-
citing nature. There were plenty of
laughs to be extracted from the exc
bition of how not to do it, and his
jumps contributed to the gayety of the
occasion by showing quite lack of
knowledge of the rules of the game.
The Nelson team played steady
game both in the field and at the bat,
although the three runs Orovlle ac-
cumulated were presents.
Both teams chalked up run in the
second inning. Bunch, for Nelson,
opened the inning with drive to Ford
at third who slobbered the ball and
the runner was safe at first Henning
hit to Macy and was out at first. Nc
Coy's long fly to Terry was dropped
and Bunch took third. Blue proceeded
to muff Bjorklund's fly and Bunch
scored. Mcdowell struck out l..
Thompson hit to Blue and was thrown
out at first. One run, no hit three err
rors. For Oroville, Balmes flew out to
l.. Thompson at center. Dunlap gave
Blue life when he juggled the hit

man who ran in from third was out.
