Chicks Take Measure Of Fort Smith
Outfit In First Game OF Series;
Sehmldtmen Hit Eleven
Times for One Run.
WILSON is WALLOPED
BUT sCATTERS BLOWS
Fast Fielding Helps "Little Lefty"
Put Over Win; Kitterman and
Reudy Smash Pil Pettierew
Is Put On Bench.

The Chicks, as ain entertainment
committee OF the whole were hosts
yesterday afternoon at University
park to Boss Schmidt and his Twins
from Fort Smith and so effective was
the work of said committee that
when the din of battle died away.
Pettlgrew's men were in possession
of the heavy end of to l count,
incidentally going into tie for sec
ond place in the league thereby.
Little Lefty" Wilson was Petit
crews choice on the rubber, and be-
cause this twirler has been used
mainly as relief man to date.
tho bugs were a little nervous. Espe.
cially was this true when the Chicks
hurler relinquished trio OF hits and
one run in the first Apparently
he was wild and Kennedy was hard
pressed at times to pull down some
of the wide heaves. Such occasions
came, however, when there were
none on and when Wilson was ap-
parently trying out a new delivery.
He didn't walk man nor hit one
Though the Twins nicked him for
total of eleven hits he kept them suf
ficiently separated to prevent scor-
ing after the first frame. Some fast
and classy fielding on the part of
the Chicks aided materially in turn
ing Schmidts crew back scoreless
after the opening round.
How They Scored.
Tho batting order of the Twins
sounds good deal like a cross be-
tween FrenchItalian-Dutc menu
card. zuniga, fer instance was tho
first up. He popped out to McMul-
len. Jones, unquestlonably an
American, struck out Jamiski, who
broke his leg in the Daily Oklahoman
during the last game at Enid, but
was fairly active around tho hot cor
ner Yesterday for one so crippled,
out q two play wallop and
registered on singles by Mueller and
Schmidt That was all tho scoring
for the Twins
The Chicks demonstrated the oft
repeated saying that it's never too
late. This, in the fourth frame with
two down, Kitterman fattened his
batting average, which by tho way ia
steadily on the increase, with a dou-

TAXA and McMullen. who attempted
10 score from third was killed at the
plate to Schmidt, Poolaw taking
third. Reynolds and Poolaw then
executed a double steal, ihe Indian
scoring with the winning run.
Pottigrew Is 5enohed.
Because Of the cars parked near
the left field foul line, ground rules
specifying two bases on hit that
hit the line Of autos on tho hop. In
the third Wilson singled Clarke
struck out and McMullen garrered a
hit that bounded to collision with
an auto on the eSt field foul line.
Tho second sent tho ball back to
where Rooney retrieved 1t in time to
hold Wilson on second. Pettigrew
rontended that by virtue Of the
rules. Mack should have had
two bags which would have placed
Wilson on third.
Umpire Hutchison would not allow
it, however, and after considerable
Pettigrew. served notice
that he would play tho game under

ball hit the car, but still would not
allow the extra base. In the fourth
Hutchison called Ned out on strikes
