Duke Cross had all the best of Red McGowan in slab duel at Mesa yes terday with result that the Stand ard Oil company team of Phoenix de- feated the Mesa Independents, to 3. in the first of the series between the two teams.
 Cross was in grand shape and was seldom in trouble. Time after time he turned back the heavy Mesa slug gers. His strike out list included 15 to face him. He allowed but six hits only two of which came in any one inning.
 But pitted against McGowan, it was well that Cross was in trim for Me Gowan was shooting em up there like pills himself. He got away to a bad first inning. but after that was in vincible. He also gave six hits but his strike out list included only 10 vic tims.
 The Oilers took advantage of er- TOTS of omission and commission in the opening frame to put across four runs, their only markers of the game Cooper, first up, was hit by a pitched ball Lyall laid down a sacrifice and was safe error. Faye hit one down to the hot corner and the third baseman, with d double play starring him in the face, got .'all het up and missed the twirling spheroid alto
 
 pinch. McGowan temporarily lost con trol and walks Warren, forcing Cooper home. Westfall struck out but Thom as came through with a two base clout, scoring Lyall and Faye, Warren going to Third and Thomas Derching on second. McGowan proceeded to uncork a wild heave, and Warren trotted home with the fourth run of the inning. That ended the scoring for the inning and game, insofar as the Oilers were concerned
 Mesa was blanked until the sixth when they sent their first marker across on triple by Nevitt. Their other runs came in the eighth when, with one man on. Horace Griffin sent the ball to somewhere in the alfalfa" completing the circuit the Diff.

NINE BANKS
IN ONE WEEK
Crop Failures Given as Cause tor
North Dakota Financial insti-
tutions Closing Their
Doors.

BISMARCK, N. D., Nov 23.-Three
more banks were added to the string
of North Dakota financial instdu-
lions that have closed their doors III
the past six days, due to depletion OF
their reserves, which officials say Is
in part due to failure of farmers to
meet notes held by the banks.
The Farmers State bank at Bel,
ford. the State bank of Kill Deer, and
the Security State bank at Columbus,
closed, making nine since the first OF
last week.
O. E. Lofthus, state bank exam
lner, declared that crop failures or
short crops, together with deprecia-
ton in lands and wheat holding by
farmers for higher prices, was re-
sponsible for the closures, as farmers
have no funds to meet their obI;ga-
lions at banks.
In many instances, it was PORTED
out by local bankers. the demand on
the banks is due to the fact that Ger
tifcates of deposit, given in the pur
chase of farmers notes, now are fall
ing due Until the farmers meet the
notes. the banks are not expected to
| be able to meet the certificates OF
| deposit
