At Smithers a
Pleasant Day

“On Dominion Day New Hazelton’s
ball team journeyed to Smithers to go
against Telkwa in the first of a.two
game. series. that marked..the annual
celebration in Smithers this year. A
start was made early after. lunch and
New. Hazelton won by a score of 13 to
11, Telkwa got ‘six of their runs in
the first inning when Stub Willan was
doing the pitching. It was. his first

‘attempt to pitch and as he is only a

school boy, he was not heavy enough
for the job. After that Bert and Omer
Spooner did the pitching,. Immedinte-
‘ly after the first. game the New Haz-
‘elton boys were called upon to play
the Smithers team, all fresh and who

| did not have a fifty mile trip. in an

open truck in the morning. At that
the visiting team “nade o good show-

When they got to the: fire they found | iny and lost only hy. a score of six to

three. The attendance at the Smith-
ers doings wis not sé large as usual.
There is not the same interest in the
bail teams as previously, owing to the
inferior quality of ball played. In the
evening there was a big crowd at the
dance and other attractions wound up
a big day for both Smithers people ond
the visitors.
