Mechanics Win Again

The Mechanics defeated the Electricians
 in pretty and interesting game of base
 ball yesterday afternoon at the T. c. I.
 diamond. Both teams played a splen-
 did game, but the Mechanics were able
 to hit when hits meant runs and that
 caused the defeat of the hefty Elec-
 tricians.
 The pitching honors were about even be-
 tween Harkins and Wiggins, as each was
 touched up for but seven hits How
 ever, Wiggins weakened and grew wild CT toward the end of the game and the Mechanics marched off with the victory
 The Electricians fielded rather poorly and had hard luck. Wiggins, their pitcher, could not hold the hefty Me-
 chanics from scoring after the sixth inning.
 The Electricians scored two runs in the first inning. After Randall and Ragsdale had gone out Kibby made a hit to right field. Then when he was on first, Leslie, the catcher, took a long | swing and drove the pellet back of the left fielder's head for a home run, thus | scoring the only two runs for the Elec- tricians.
 The Mechanics made one run in the second, four in the sixth, and the re- maining runs in the eighth. The first run was made on a fluke of the cen 1 ter fielder, and by squeeze play. The four in the sixth were made by mum Der of base hits, errors and good base | running. ~ The Ensley steel plant band was
 present and received hearty applause for its part of the programme. The | band consists of about 15 pieces, un- der the direction of McCrory. The
 band played throughout the game, rem dering number of well executed se- l lections.
 Crittenton, the City league umpire, umpired the game, and his decisions were fair. At first some of the mem- 1 bers started "beefing," but after po- | liceman was called both sides behaved themselves.
 Perhaps the largest crowd of the
 season attended, numbering about 200O. The crowd was in an exceedingly good humor and enjoyed the interesting game immensely.
 The first game, which was scheduled to be played between the Accountants
 and the Mines, was not played, and was forfeited to the Accountants because
 the Mines failed to appear. The score by innings of yesterday S game was: R H. E |. Mechanics ..... 010 004 o2s-7 } Electricians ..... POO 900 000-2 ' i l Batteries: Harkins and Pierre; Wig gins and Leslie.

Standing of T. c. I. League

The above standing Is correct, counting the games played Saturday. The Me- ehancs are leading the league with the percentage of S57, having won all of the seven games played with the exception of the first After the Mechanics, the Accountants are following with the per- centage of 750. They are pushing the Mechanics hard and are playing to win the pennant.
 After these the other teams string along, the Semet-Solvay team trailing with a percentage of nothing.
 It has been officially announced that the Semet-Solvay team and the mines will not finish the season in the league and will be dropped. The cause seems to be the trouble in securing and keep ing players on the teams. It Is known ttat both are dissatisfied and the presi- dent of the league, Land Grabe, has declared them dropped.

Oklahoma City, August 26.--A test of the .'free' newspaper ended here today when the Pointer and the Free Press were sold to the Times. The Pointer prob- ably was one of the first free newspa- pers of any magnitude ever started in this country. It established a complete plant and entered the field as vigorously as if its copies sold for cash. Later the Free Press was launched to oppose it. As result Oklahoma City had five papers and at times it's streets were lit- erally filled with free copies of news journals.
