Notes of the Game
BY BRIDGE.
When Eddie Spellman struck out
IN tho seventh inning Of the first
game yesterday he broke a prom
ising string ~ safe bingles, having
connected safely his laRt seven times
up. llo got four out OF four al
wichita Wednesday and hit safely
the first three times yesterday.
Spcllman's hits yesterday were an
terrific smashcs. His first cleared
the center field fence with many
rect TO spare, his second was a long
double 10 left and hls third was "A
single" that hit tho scoroboard on
n line and would have been good for
a homer II the field had been deep
enough,
George McGinnis. dlminutlvo Oiler
shortstop, had good day with the
willow. His only hit In the first
game was Il home run wallop over
the center field fence. but in the
second affray he drove out three
clean singles In as many trips to
the plate.
Tom Bukanovic and Ray Rich
mond both looked like pitching aces
yesterday. Should Cullop and Al
bancsc do az well today Bill Clymer's
cup OF pleasure will be filled.
The only rcFrct s- the fans was
that Roy Salisbury didnt start
either game for the Indians yester-
day. Had he pitched his record Of
three years OF victory over Tulsa
might have been broken. As Il Ia
We probably won't soc sol" again
this season, for the Indians wind up
here today and Roy pitched full
game at Joplin Wednesday. But
next year is yet TO come.
Yank Davis. hard hitting right
fielder, was out of the lineup yes
terday. Yank was taken M while
the team was at Wichita. lie prob.
ably will bo back IN Q day or so.
II was a right sad fate for a stellar
southpaw who had Just been sold to
n major league club, with a team
mate, for $4,000 to be Knocked
out OF the box by the tailcnder. But
this is what happened to Lefty
Mitchell. the Oklahoma city south
paw. Announcement had just been
made OF the sale % Mitchell and
!
Cincinnati Reds for that sum whrn
tho portsidor was sent in 60 pitch
the first game. Ho lasted just two
Innings.
II was not poor pitching by the
Oklahoma City boxmen but good
hitting by the oilers that won the
first game. Lii Stoner who relieved
Mitchell had everything on the ball
and fast one that whistled as 1t
went over, yet no was nicked for
four runs. plenty 10 have won the
game, in tho six innings he worked.
In that period Stouer famed nine
men and only walked three, and
when Stoner gives but three passes
you can just bet he's in form, for
his one weakness is an inclination
to be wild.
When a pitcher gets into the
"three and two" hole with George
Harper facing him he certainly Is in
tight place. Richmond arrived at
that stage yesterday In the sixth in
ming of the second game. There was
nothing to do but buzz the next one
over and pray for the outfielders to
he alert. Richmond did this and
Harper clouted 1t far, very far, over
the right field wall. This was the
only inning where they had a chance
against Rich. Dawson Graham, who
played first for Tulsa early last sea-
son, followed Harper with one over
the left field fence.
Tulsa fans never fail to laud sue
cess. When Lukanovic walked Off
re field after scalping the redskins
~ neatly in the opener he was given
good hand.
The fans got great satisfaction
when Manager Dick Breen OF the
Indians entered the second game as
a pinch hittor In the seventh in
ning--and Richmond struck him out.
The Oilers' last run in the first
game was secured in an unusual
manner. Brannon singled 10 center
and moved to second when Harper
threw the ball wild. The ball hit In
front OF the Tulsa dugout and Man
Lager Clymer claimed Brannon
should be allowed to take third.
while the Oklahoma City infielders
were arguing about II with Umpire

! Yankee scout, a spectator, Tommy

second game and a double In the
first,

the season to win one double header.

sible maybe they'll get the habit for
the rest OF the year.
The oilers hope to give the In
dians parting Kick today. Then for
I the Packers.
