KfREMEOS TEAM
TAKEN INTO CAMP
BrItish Columbia Visitors Lose Ball
Game with OrOyille by the Close
Score OF ) to 4.

nroville is at last hitting its stride
sud the hackers of the team are en-
outraged by the fact that the boys
have won three games in IL row. and
;, eyery game are putting up better
exhibition of ball playing. This may
hs thought rather flattering in the
faco of the bunch of errors made in
,he game Sunday but that exhibition
ot how not to do it was one of those
fmnkes that any team may at times be
.uilty Of for outside of the two innings
during which the visitors accumulat-
ed ALI their runs the team put up
good exhibition of ball. True our Can
adan visitors could not be enrolled in
Tho first class as ball players, yet they
are no slouches and with practice they
will give any amateur club a run for
It's money.
The game Sunday was an interesting
one from the spectators point of view
even though it wass ragged in spots.
Il was so close that 1t was exciting
and stood as anybody's game until the
last man was out Poor base running
can be charged up againest Oroville in
two instances where runs should have
been made. Only one of the nine runs
scored was earned. Keremeos made
four runs without a hit and three of
Oroville's runs came without hit.
Griffith is developing into first
class pitcher, and with more eXperien-
ce is going to take his place among
the best of the amateurs in this upper
country. His only weakness is work
Ing too fast and he will get over that
with practice and coaching. In every
game he has number of strike outs,
and when he can hold such batter as
Tom Daily down without safe hit he
d going some. Madore, the keremeOs
slab artist, is clever twirler. While
he did not strike out many batsmen
somehow or other almost every hit
went up into the air Twelve of tie
Oroville batters fell victims to flies,
and If the outfield had not dropped
several others Madore would have
won his game.
Owing to wet grounds the game was
played on the high school grounds
in the west part of town and they
were in good condition. The attend
ance was not large, the public not ex-
tending the support that it SHOULD to
the home team. There were no special
