into the simmering sunpeamS yester-
day afternoon in the neighborhood of
$3.50 o'clock and something like an
hour and one-half later ankled toward
the clubhouse defeated. The tune wds

winners of the Texas league, joyousiy |
toting the heavy end OF the melody
Notwithstanding the fact that Jawn
Robinson's mastodonic assemblase OF
beasts of the wild, bareback riders
and tight-wire walkers was in action
Sut toward the fairgrounds on plo,
of land known as Barton's field four
hundred sport-loving souls were seat
ed in the grandstand when the arbiter
announced the heaving and backstop-
ping persons for the exhibition.
Dowie Hero.
Robert Dowie esquire, was pretty
much the hero of the day. With one
man hanging on the paths he spanked
one of Mr.. Coniey's slants so hard II
sailed over the leftrield barrier. That
was the beginning of the end Of Con
ley's initial appearance on the Tulsa
green, for in the sixth frame youth
bearing the name of Compere mount
ed the mOund ana altlO lHe IONo'
talent slapped his offerings every now
and then they were never able to n''
the pellet often enough at one sitting
to net enough tallies to win the con-
test
one Mr.. Salisbury, formerly star
twirler for the Muskogee Nets was
on the losing side. He did pretty fair
work however, and had not his sup
port faltered during one or two criti-
cal moments the tally would have
been much closer If. indeed, not IN
favor of the Western association
stars.
Young May Heave.
In respect to base wallops it might
be well to state that Dallas accumu-
lated an assortment of IA, two repru-
senting unmolested jaunts around the
paths. Tulsa managed for eight parks,
only one OF which entitled the
spanker, Mr.. Dowie, to amble unhin-
dered and unrestrained around the
circuit. Unconfirmed rumors were
afloat late last night to the effect that
Cy Young would unlimber his shine
ball against the invaders today. with
Cy in the box and his shine-ball shin
ing properly there is no doubt as to
the outcome.
There will be enother game Sunday
afternoon after which the two clubs
will Journey down toward Dallas
where they will play four full ana
complete ball games besides bargain
ing with the bartender relative to the
sale Of a glass or so of beer. That Is,
I'VE suppose they'll drop in and pay
I, thcir respects to the bartender we
know we would If we were in Dallas
and we don't believe they Will permit
such n golden opportunity to slip thru
their hands even tho they have be-
come exceedingly fond of near-beer as
retailed at dime botue In Iuisa-
As She Was Waged.
During the initial outburst OF the
day's battle the first three visitors hit
the pellet safely past third base Tor

pitched ball and as result three runs
were Nchalked up in favor of Dallas
before three outs had been effected.
