Beat Only by Twins.

The lone defeat of the week was at
the hands of Fort Smith last Monday
when a flock of homeruns spilled the
beans. the Twins getting away with
the long end OF a 10 to score. The
next day the homelings came back
with ~ hits and a l6 to s victory and
then won the other two by smaller
margins. The last two games were
played without an error.
Only two other teams won more
than they lost during the week.
Sherman came second taking five and
dropping couple. Before they
bumped up against the Producers. the
Twins had won three straight. giving
them four victories to three defeats.
Muskogee did not fare as well as
she had been faring recently, securing
only an even break. A big slump in
the offensive work OF Calbert and
Fisher checked their advance.
Oklahoma City had a most un-
fortunate seven days. After being
bumped three straight by the Twins,
the Boosters went to Ardmore where
they lost three out of four.

But what looks good to Tulsa fan

F'urthermOrc there Is every reason
to believe that the same pace is go
ing to be maintained by the Producers
the remainder of the season. They
have been a long time finding them
selves and now that they are to have
better pitching they are bound to
make the race interesting for the
whole lot.

U. 5. AIRSbIPS
 ID BE IN FRANCE EARLY NEXT YEAR
Airship Production Board Declares Tests Are Prov
 ing Satisfactory.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Tests of the first of the standardized United States airplane motors designed and built un- der the direction of the aircraft pro- duction board make it practically cer- tain that American-made fighting ma chimes will be available forservice in France early next year. Results from several tests have been highly satis- factory, it is learned.
 Probably three types of service craft for the army will be turned out They will be small, swift machines designed for air duels and to screen observa- tion and bombing craft; daylight bombing machines, slower than the fighting craft but still fast enough to minimize the danger of the anti aircraft guns and big enough to carry observers and photographic outfits, radio and bombs in addition to their guns. and the still shower night bomb ing machines in which carrying capac- ity is increased at the expense of speed because darkness protects them from gun fire.
 The United States motor, it is un- derstood, is not designed primarily for speed. Durability and reliability, CO., ordinated with high ratio of power for each pound of engine weight was the object of the American engineers who worked out the. plans.

Secretary of State Lansing Regards Government
 Stronger Than Ever.
@ ~~%A9z7o~2>S.

Washington. Aug. 24.-Another credit of $100,OOO,O0O to Russia was made today by the American govern ment.
 Complete confidence in the new Russian government was expressed today by the state department.
 "I regard the government of Rus sia as stronger today than it has been for a month";" Secretary Lansing said "I mean in general" he added, "both from political and military points of view. his opinion is based upon re- ports more or less confidential than we have been getting"
 Secretary Lansing, however, did not alter his decision not to make pub- lie any of the recent reports from Russia.
 This brings the total of credits ex- tended so far to the Russian govern ment to $275,0OO,OOO. Some of the money probably will be used to pur- chase railway supplies and equipment in this country.

Members of the furniture company said the hotel would be equiped from the stock, and that this is possible was pointed to as indicating the big quant- ity of goods carried by local houses.

 The early demand was soon sup piled and the market became very weak and unsettled Southern sell ing continued, serving to color re- ports that farmers were marketing their cotton as rapidly as it could be gathered and stop orders were un- covered on the break which carried October and December off to 223Oe and January to 22.54c before midday or about 63 to 72 points net lower.
