the tailend Wilson club. 6 10 2. yes
terday afternoon nj Grady field.
Perkins. the Indian right handler
had the Travellers number. holding
them 10 five scattered hits. Thorn
ton was hit freely. lie yielded niN'
safc blows. II was being able TO hll
when hits meant runs that gave the
strengthened Wilson club the verdict
in Sundays game.
Tho Travellers started off like they
were going 10 put the game on Ice
In the early innings. Aided by errors
by Manager "Jew" IIellman and
Catcher Mobley, Gaines sacrifice,
KItterman's single and MeLean's In.
field out. the homelIngs put over
two runs In tho first inning After
that Perkins held them nj HIS arms
length and was never in danger.
Wilson put over their first run IN
the fifth when sowdcrs led off with
n triple into left field. lilo scored on
Swede Thlselfs single. Errors by
Gaines and Kittermnn started the
fatal sixth inning rally In which the
Bcrappy visitors registered three
runs. After Perkins was safe on

advanced to second when Ritterman
threw low 10 Dugan, the tail-enders
found Thornton for n pair OF singles
which put them two runs In the lead.
The fifth score was registered in
the ninth on II. Blackburn's single
md Sowders' double.
one OF the outstanding features of
the game was the four fast double
plays. Sowders proved TO be the
swat king OF the game. lie collected
n triple, double and single in four
trips to the plate and his willow
work was largely responsible for the
Wilson victory.
Having added considerable strength
last week, the Wilson club looks like
anything but tail.enders. They have
a fast aggregation OF fielders and a
bunch of dangerous hitters. Fans
who had the pleasure of seeing them
in action yesterday afternoon antlci-
pated that they soon will relinquish
their cellar position to some other
club.
Morris Stages "come Back"
No sooner bad Friday afternoons
game ended until Victor Morris, the
big left handler, began pleading with
Manager Fitzgerald TO start him in
Saturdays game. "Ill beat that
bunch OF right hand hitters,' he as
sured Fitz. Shortly before the game,
Fitzberald gave his consent and
Morris was his choice for the hill
top workman.
Lefty did it. lie allowed the lefty
murderers" eight hits but he kept
them so well scattered that he was
never in serious danger. He was
invincible in the pinches. Morris is
the second left handler to administer
defeat to the Guthrie crew. Mid.
get Bullah, of the Wilson club, who
is scheduled to pitch for Hellman's
team tomorrow afternoon, was the
first left handler to accomplish the
feat.
The Travellers collected only five
hits off Geddes, but four of these
were timely and for extra bases.
Wilson plays here this afternoon
and tomorrow afternoon, after which !
the teams go to Wilson for three
games. TheI Travellers then go to
Duncan for two games and then to
El Reno for pair of contests.
This afternoons game will begin |
at 400 o'clock with Buddy Graham
