Hoodoo Game Drops Millfield in Thirteenth Match
Nelsonville July 39 The thirteenth game of the season against Millfield proved a hoodoo for the Buchtel Old Timers who lost four games this season. Millfield started strong with six runs in the first inning but the Old Timers rallied after a pitcher change, allowing only two more Millfield runs. Millfield’s left hand pitcher from Corning was hit hard later, and loose play nearly cost Millfield the game. The Old Timers next play in Athens Wednesday against a county all star lineup from Athens Chauncey Millfield and more. Friday Logan s Best faces the Old Timers at Murray City ground.
