DOWN TO DEFEAT

Goes Rossland Once More Before Vic- torious Nelson

TELLING HOW IT HAPPENED

Various Explanations Given, but Weak Infield ing and Costly Errors Are Most Probable Cause of Failure—Home Team Will Practice More and Get New Blood.

The base ball game on Sunday

attracted the largest crowd of the season, estimates running as high as 2000 for the number in the grounds. The. special attraction was the revenge which Rossland had promised herself against the Nelson team. But the program did not come off, for Rossland, after a brilliant beginning, went to pieces at the fourth inning and ended by getting a most unmerciful walloping in the last six innings. The score was 15 to 11 in favor of Nelson. _ Of course explanations were thick as blackberries. One was that the umpires, Alf Harron, of San Fran- cisco, and Billy Burkin, favored Nelson at some critical points. Another is that Billy Gibson, Ross- land's first baseman, did not show up and Al Gibson had to take his place, thus weakening the team at short stop. Nefzger’s pitching is said to have been weak, at least from the seventh inning to the end, but this is denied. Yet others say that errors in the infield lost the game, Holland, Lenhart and Vaughn having made two each and Al Gibson one, and two of these errors were particularly costly. On the other hand, Shea caught well and made a home run and the out- field was good, making some clev-r catches. Nelson played a good all-around game, sWaters doing some fine pitching and Rockinfield playing well at short stop.

The Rossland managers are agreed on one thing—that they need more team practice and they also expect to get new blood in betore the next game.

The batting order was as follows:

Rossland. Nelson. Macdonald, If Houston, c Rhodes, cf McLeod, 3b Vaughn, 2b Rockenfield, ss Gibson, tb Waters, p ~ Shea, c Caverly. 2b Holland, 3b Partridge, tb Nefzger, p Mills, cf Lenhart, ss Emerson, If Strutzel, rf Phair, rf

Score by innings:

12345 Nelson....0 0041 Rossland ..4 1 200

wondering at the Boers’ capabilitiés tor ake such a determined stand when Pretoria was hemmed in on all sides. The pressure of General French north of the Boer capital came as a surprise, and explained the der-in-chief's reti anent the position of the energetic cavalry leader. It was evident that Lord Roberts himself delayed at- tacking until his columns were ready to co-operate.

Judging ‘from Lord Roberts’ phraseology, the occupation of Pre- toria was not accompanied by toss of life. Presumably the Boer forces which so insistently:' opposed the British advance at Six-Mile Spruit got away.

Vain Effo:ts at Resistance.

The latest dispatches from a rep- resentative of the Associated Press, at Pretoria, dated Junie 3, quote General Botha as saying:

“So long as I can still count on our thousands of willing men, we must-not dream of retreat or throw- ing away our independence.” General Botha, it is added, an- nulled the regulations appointing a special committee to preserve order, substituting military control for the ‘committee. General Lucas Meyer, addressing the .burghers on the church square, urged them all to stand fast. Thus, though their ‘efforts were pitifully futile, it is evident that a few faithful Boer generals were working desperately to resist the overwhelming force of Lord Rab- erts’ army.
