Oklahoma City, o. r, July 25.-An
error by link in the last half of the
ninth was a bad sign for the visitors
Sunday, and by some good hitting and
base running the locals pulled them
selves out Of a shutout and won the
game by the score of 3 to- 2. Lewis got
to first on an error By. link. Ogee sent
the ball over the two-base side of the

The White Sox could not break the
Springfield hoodoo Saturday and went
down to double defeat at the hands
of the Midgests from the Missouri
burg in double header. The playing
of the White SOx was almost on a par
with that of the opposing team but as
luck would have it the few errors of
Topeka figured in the result, while
those Of Springfield did not do the
locals an iOta of good. Topeka had
several more opportunities to score
than did Sea baugh's aggregation, but
when things would begin to look hope
ful for the locals some sensational stop
would send the hopes of the fans down
TO the zero point. Hetling robbed Cole
of fine hit when men were on bases
which would ordinarily have meant
much to the Cooley tribe. The sensa-
tional work of the White Sox would
come at a time when il did not mean
very much. The feature of the first
game was the fast double play which
was started by Ragan. It occurred in
