| from Oklahoma City did not go to pieces,
/ but the three runs were the result Of
| batting streak
| The game was one of the most inter-
esting witnessed in Wichita this year.
1t was anybody's game from the start
and the element of doubt served to keep
the interest at its highest pitch. At
the start both teams broke even. In the
first and second innings neither side
could bring a man around the circuit.
The Oklahomans started the marking in
! their part of the third. but could not
keep the locals from tying the score in
their half: Neither side could break the
tie In the fourth; both drew goose eggs.
The league team had their inning in
the fifth. Cornelison let the first two up
walk, the next singled, and the bases
were filled without an out. The next
man famed, but his successor landed
hard and brought in two runs In the
fifth, sixth and seventh the local team
could do nothing. and when in the sew
enth the Oklahoma team made the score
TO it looked like another lost game.
But the eighth was the locals inning.
The first man up struck out Thompson
reached first on an error and then the
fireworks began. Senter pounded out a
safe one. advancing Thompson TO third.
Frantz brought in Thompson and put
Senter on the third bag He stole sec
and, and Mott set the fans wild by Sc
curing long drive which brought in
Senter and Frantz and tied the score
The Wichita team now had an equal
chance and the crowd was generous in
its cheers for the home team.
In the ninth the Wichita team started
in TO win. Cornelison famed the first
tow leaguers up. The next reached first
but died on that bag as the next man
couldn't see the ball and had TO lay
down the stick. After the first man had
struck out in the locals half of the last
inning. "Burree" Thompson reached
first on a safe one and stole second
Senter sent him to third and reached
first. A little head work then won the
game. Frantz put a drive in the center
felders hand. Thompson held his base
until the ball was fielded and then made
run for home beating the ball by a
fraction of a second and scored the win
ming run.
The game was good one from the
spectators point of view. 1t was full |
of excitement, the errors were few and |
several good plays were made. Thomp- |
son made a sensational double. making |
a running catch of a short drive to the |
field and throwing out a man at second. |
Frantz secured his regular two-base hit. |
Both pitchers were in good form al
though both teams were in good batting |
form and made a number of safe hits |
Cornelison was little wild and allowed |
more men TO walk than his opponent, |
Ahorn. He struck out more men, how
ever and kept his hits scattered more |
than the man from Oklahoma.
Frantz will be in the box today and |
the local team will be strengthened by /
the addition of CIeary at first. Both /
teams have won a game and the rubber |
promises to be a hot one. The game will 7.
