nOfSeS tndn Jno CnlckS yesterday
at University Park, wherefore they
copped the long end of to l
score, having amassed better rec
ords than the Chicks in every de
partment OF the pastiming.
Harry Smith, who beat Enid prac
tically single handed in the last
series of the Haryesters here, was
sent to the hill by Hayes, but the
Veteran didn't show as much stuff
as in the Enid game and got nicl1ed
for 12 safeties. Powell, for the Wis
itors gave up seven blows, but kept
them well scattered, no two coming
in the same inning except for the
second when donble, a sacrifice
and single netted the lone coun
ter for the Chicks.
Hens Score First
The Henryetta clan didn't waste
much time about getting .
They registered one IL hrst
round, thanks to a coh. of bad
hops that went for hits when they
should have been easy pickngs for
the Chickasha infeld With ont
away to Jakubick, Thomas hit on
to Poolaw. The Chief came in on
the offering and had it all but
picked out of the dirt for an ca sy
out, when the pill hit rough place
in the mud and bounded over the
Indians shoulder. He didn't touch
the bal.
Blakesley, the next man up, hit
one to Shirley. The thing was ar
exact duplicate of the chance t.
Poolaw Shirley apparently had the
offering in his pocket for a double
play when it took a crazy hop ovC'
his shoulder and Thomas negotiated
the mud field as far as third base.
johnson hit long sacrifice to Pet
tigrew and Thomas cantered home
with the first counter. Blakesley
was held on first and moment
later caught the first bay by Smith
and chased down by Neusel anf
Shirley, Eddie getting the put-out al
ter a sprint, dive and an exhibit
ton of high and lofty tumbling near
the second station.
Chicks Tie It Up.
In the second, the Chicks tied t1o
score. Jakubicl1 doubled betweel
left and center. He rode to third
on a beautiful sacrifice by Petit
grew and scored on Hayes single.
Though the homelings made
couple of strong bids for score
during the remainder of the gamt
there was nothing in the nature OF
a tally forthcoming and they went
through the remaining frames score
less. A near score threatened in the
seventh for the Chicks. 1t was
perfect Hayes setting. Drap was up
first. 1t always happens when the
Chicks manager is up with no on
on. Drap marked Powell into a hole
an dthen smacked the pill over the
right field wall. but it fell ten feet
foul. He fouled off a couple mor'
and then filled out to Gray 4
right
Hens Get Three More.
In the third. the sixth and the
eighth, the Hens collected three
more. two coming on clean hitting
and the third on hits that followed
a base on balls.
Despite the mud and rough infield
resulting, the Henryetta outfit
played errorless ball. They look
withal like one of the best balanced
ball clubs in the circuit and have
been going great guns for the past
coilple of weeks. They have taken
the long end of the last five series
and have a fighting chance for the
pennant in last half of the season.
They have a total of nine games
yet to play with Enid and it is
safe to say that Waring and his
crew will hub some trouble at the
