Tifiwa* * papers this summer aboilt the playing of other mill teams, but I have seen no mention of the Oakland team, . This team, I think, has made an enviable record this season and, in my opinion, is one of the best teams in the state. Out of seventeen games they have lost only three, and during the season they have never hired a professional, or gone outside of th?ir own ranks for a player. One of the three games lost thife season was to the Pacific Mills team of Columbia on last Saturday. This was q nn+oVilo cramp there beinff a tie of 5 to 5 in the ninth inning, which re quired three more innings to break, with a score of 6 to 5, in favor of Pacific Mills. On the Saturday before these same teams had tied 8 to 8 in the ninth inning and played 13 intiings with- ' out breaking the tie. I predict that great things will be heard of this team before the season is over. G. G. S. ?
