BY LARRY DALEY.

Brilliant fielding behind the ef-
fective pitching OF Joe Morris and
Carl Adams and hard and timely
batting gave the Oilers victory yes
terday In a double header with the
Boosters. 3 to 2 and s to 6, the
homelings thereby sweeping the
five.game series with the visitors. IL
was' the oilers sixth straight VIC
tory.
Both games were hard fought at.
fairs. the issues OF each being in
doubt until the last innings.
Morris permitted eight hits In the
first game. but only one ,of them
was Tor an extra base. WITH the ex-
ception of the first and third In
ninga. the Boosters never threatened.
After the third Morris did not per-
NIT over one hit an inning and he
tightened up with a base occupied.
Adrian Lynch hurled a creditable
game for the Boosters. only two of
the Oilers nine hits going for more
than one base. With the exception
Of the fifth and sixth. Lynch also
did not allow more than a hit an
inning.
Both clubs accorded their pitch
ers errorless support in the first
game. Three double plays, two by the
BcOStcrs, were UnHue.
Eight hits were made by each
club In the second game. but three
of the Oilers blows we're for extra
bases. including two home runs,
while only one OF the Boosters hits,
a double. was good for more than
ono base.

bail. The Boosters two runs in the
first would not have been scored
had not Connolly dropped Metz
fly. which would have made the
third out.
Adams pitahed brilliantly from
the first TO the eighth innings, let.
ting the Boosters down without a
hit and run and turning them back
in order. He was touched for four
runs and as many hits In the
eighth, but let tho Boosters down
safely In the ninth, aided by splen-

OF the Boosters. was hit hard by the
Oilers and retired af,er the seventh
inning. after five runs and as many

time for 26 days succeeded Cykow-
ski and gave up two hits and three
runs Merz went In in tho eighth
after one run had counted and one
was out. and although two runs
we're made with him In tho box, the
runners had got on when Buckslew
was on the mound so the defeat is
charged TO Buckalew.
The oilers fielded splendidly In
tho second game, Connelly's error
on the easy chance being the only
\miscue charged the homelngs. All
three of the Boosters errors aided
the Oilers in counting.
Only one OF tho oilers eight hits
did not aid in the scoring, the home
lings again showing their ability to
hit when blows were needed. The
Boosters also hit timely. making
six hits OF their eight hits count for
runs.
