slstent hitter. He suits us. OF course.
there are any numper of others who
are worthy of the name of baseball
lers.
Ought to Keep.
The acquisition Of Pitcher Huey to
our staff of firing artists should by
all rules of cause and effect bolster
up that particular division of the
team. Huey last year was among
the first seven pitchers of the league,
! having attained a generol average of
500 for the season while pitching for
| Muskogee. He won IA games and
lost 9. This season he somehow or
other couldn't put over the proper
amount of stuff to suit Manager Mag
of the Nets, who agreed upon terms
offered by Manager Price. Change
of place, environment and conditions,
| sometimes work entirely to the good,
ond it would not he surprising to see
this engineer Of the horsehide step
| Immediately into the front brigade.
In his first game nc allowed his for
mer teammates only five hits. II
wasn't his fault that the Producers
only hit safely once during the spell.
A Needed Change.
From an off-hand angle it seems to
us that n good move would be to
ditch Clifton for a utility man. Clifton
is a nifty catcher and can hit some
ttimes However. he is not the type of
man who would step to the bat in a
pinch and lope one over the fence.
Nor can he handle himself well in
either the infeld or the outfield. AS
| long as Moore is going az his pres
cnt rate and does not become hors
de baceball. Clifton has as much
chance as jumping in as receiver as a
gnat of winning an air battle with a
~
might take his turn in the pads
should the occasion demand and who
could also disport himself in various
and sundrv other positions. the whole
defensive night be strengthened ma
terially.
This Dcnison Bunch.
The case of Denson is causing no
little comment around the loop these
DAYS. From a week -kneed conten-
der in the first weird spasms, the
rab-garbed Texas longhorns have
developed into a wild-eyed stampeded
herd threatening to play unmitigated
havoc with our chances of flying a
grand old sunshine rag.
And on the other wing. here's
} Sherman who was supposed 10 be
iron-ribbed at every angle. While

We Have Several
There was a man in our town, and
he was wondrous wise (yes?) For
when ;he team was winning. he would
tout it to the skies But when the
pace began to tell. the line he threw
was bunk He cursed the "low-lifed'
batters and the pitchers he called
punk"
Long Trip.
Tulsa gets 10 more league baseball
until June Q On that date the Pro-
ducers open Up with the Fort Smith
Twins During the interim the Pro
ducers wind up with the Parisians
and tackle the Twins on their own
lot. Denison and Sherman. BY the
time they return folks here will be
able to settle TO some extent at loast
lust where we stand. If the Pro
ducers win a great majority OF theil
games. they may easily he counted
on to come through with a happy ma.
iority here a number OF patriotic
fans here are betting that the Pro.
ducers won't be as good as third
when they return we understand We
have a two weeks salary OF S2.03
which we will he willing to divide
