two oilers had reached second has,
up to this period and only one OF

From n Tulsa standpoint the out 20
standing feature OF tho game was
the good pitching Of Richmond who
had not been In form In any pre-
vious start since his return from ST.
Louis. In the eight innings he
pitched he permitted but four hits,
no two of which camc IN one inning,

hard luck, and that's what It was
yesterday that is, hard luck
coupled with the inability of the
Tulsa hatsmen to solve the south
