though Tulsa high school fell upon
Ausmus, local twirler, in the first two
innings of this afternoons game and
amassed a total of ten runs. Sapulpa

the contest by score Of 10 to IL.
The Sapulpa mound artist was left
in the box through the slaughter and
after this baptism, frightened up and
allowed only two runs during the re-
mainder Of the game. Booker, for
Tulsa, had not effectiveness and let
the reins slip in several innings.
The contest was nothing more than
a batting fest and the fielding was a
farce on account of the drizzling rain
through all nine innings. The feature
of the grind was a three base hit by
Mallory when there were three Sa-
pulpans on the bags.
Tulsa made six hits and four errors
and Sapulpa got 16 slams. Tulsa high
school left tonight for two-game Sc
ries with Okemah high school.

. Just so with the GERMANS. They
now have more than thousand miles
of trenches to protect and they can
