Nelson Baseball Club Defeated by Scrubs in 200 Purses Tilt
Yesterday afternoon at the recreation grounds the Nelson Baseball Club nine faced a scrub team managed by James McDonald. The game began at 2 30 and after a 6 run fourth inning the scrubs pulled away to a decisive victory. Nelson's pitching rotation faltered as the list of players from both sides is noted in the box. The $200 purse drew high hopes but Nelson admitted they must improve before facing outside teams, with locals predicting a showdown between the two squads as possible Kootenay champions.
