regulars, led by Honus Wagner, who
played first base and directed the
team in the absence Of Manager Fred
Clarke, scored in but two innings OF
highly sensational game with the
Sioux city club Of the Western league
yesterday and went down TO defeat
before "Ducky" Holmes squad of
youngsters, the final score being TO
Immense Crowd There.
The attendance was the largest that
has ever marked n baseball game in
Tulsa. The South Main street park
was crowded to its capacity. The
grand stand and bleachers were filled
long before 3 O'Clock, two hundred
people watched the game from the
railroad tracks east of the park, many
spectators crowded on to the play
ing field, and fifty automobile loads
Of fans and fanettes took up all the
space outside the foul line in right
field. Two thousand admissions We're
recorded at the gate.
Looked Easy at First
Starting in q free and easy manner
with two runs TO their credit In the
initial inning, the pirates seemed to
have everything the way they wanted
II up to the sixth inning from which
time on the game was bitterly fought
every inch of the way. The crowd
almost to a man, was with" the
Western Leaguers and when the scor-
ing was started by the Holmesies en-
thusiasm broke loose, only to be in
creased in volume early in the seventh
inning when the score was tied.
Kelly I'm Outfield.
Gibson, the veteran catcher with
Pittsburgh, worked the entire game
and showed mid-season form. Biz
Kelly. the other star backstop with
the Pirates, and boy who started
his professional career in Tulsa, was
used in the outfield. He was given
an ovation when he first stepped to
bat
Babe" Adams. another former
Tulsan, was out in uniform, but was
not placed in the game. He prob
ably will be seen in action today, as
we'll as Marty O'Toole and some Of
the other notable stars of the club.
Society Out In Force.
over a third of yesterdays crowd
was composed Of women and society
was there en- masse Scores Of per-
sons in the stands were former Pitts
burghers, which, of course, added to
their interest in the game. William
A. Stuart, the Tulsa oil man. who has
been watching the Pirates train at
Hot Springs this season, took great
deal OF interest in the going. Some
years ago "Chauncey Bilp' was a
regular" player with Clarke's ag-
gregation.
Camnitz opened on the mound for
the Nationals. His assortment OF
curves were extremely mystifying and
only occasionally did the Packers
find" him. A total of but four hits
were garnered off of him. Cooper,
recruit, who replaced the veteran
twirler In the seventh, was somwhat
wild and three runs were chalked up
against him In the seventh.
Wagner Still Hits.
Hans Wagner played his usual
steady game at first base. and seemed
almost as accustomed to that position
as though he were in his regular berth
at short. He never failed to hit the
ball and twice could have stretched
singles into two -baggers had his In
tured knee been in its old time shape.
Another player ran for him every time
he got on first.
The Sioux City squad played an
earnest game throughout and pulled
off some wonderful plays. They also
clsuted the ball we'll In the fourth
Tony Smith put one against the LETT
field fence and It came near going
overheard In the fifth third-base-
man Clair got Il three-bagger. Cen
ter fielder Booe took bad tumble
trying to field the high one.
A Double.
In the fourth inning Breen caught
Carey's fly to right and by splendid
work popped it to Smith in time
% catch Gibson at second, thus end
ing the inning in quick order.
The Pirates pulled off a doubfe
play themselves, when, in the fifth
session Butler caught Clair's hot drive
between first and second and shot 1t
TO Wagner in time TO catch Rapp. who
had started for the middle sack when
the back cracked.
Young Feeling Fine.
Cy Young. for Sioux City. pitched
n great game for the five innings tina,
he worked on the knoll. keeping the
hits well scattered, excepting in the
first chapter when two runs were
slipped across on him. Allen. who
closed on the mound for the Iowans,
made himself solid with the specta-
tors. The first time up at bat he got
a single for himself. He fielded his
position perfectly and so apportioned
his hits that but one run was scored
on him.
The work Of Marshall in left field,
Cooney at short and Lindsay at first
was highly entertaining. The entire
Sioux City team displayed champion
ship form and surprised everyone ex-
cepting Manager Holmes who believes
in his boys"
The Pittsburgh team arrived In
town at 1:i5 o'clock yesterday after
nom An hour later they were on
