IN
Outhit, outfielded and out
played though they were,
those pesky Packers out
mcked the Oilers again Tues
day and won, 5 to a, thus
coping their third straight
series of the season from
Tulsa. The Sioux City margin
IN this last engagement was
three games to one.
Is No Alibi.
This is by no means an attempt
N albi, but the fact remains that
the oilers smashed out 10 ,oiid
base hits for a total OF a dozen ana
half bases 10 accumulate their four
runs while the Packers annexed
their five markers on seven hits for
1O bases. In six of the nine in
uiugs the Packers were turned pack
IN oue-two-three order while tho
oilers reached first in seven rounds.
Sioux City was charged with one
error, Tulsa. on the other hand,
playing faultlesSly.
But, you ask, how in the world
did Sioux City win? Simple. IN
the third inning they fell upon their
former team mate, Norman Glaser,
for a cluster of four hits and drew
two bases on balls, getting three
runs Then In the eighth, after
I Tulsa had overcome this handicap
and forged one ahead, Metz took
one IN the ribs and Ostergard
knocked the ball almost to the
Rogers county line, producing the
other two.
Williams Is Right.
The oilers in the meantime found
Clyde Williams anything but tasty
repast Time and again they soaked
the ball hard and many a good base
hit ratified into the various safety
zones--but in the pinchcs Cy was
as tight as a small shoe on a big
corn.
While not as provoking as on the
day before the umpiring was still
below par, and this may have had
something TO do with the disaster.
Burnside, who was behind the plate
several times seemed to put Tulsa
batsmen in the hole by questionable
decisions on balls and strikes. and
frequently was loudly razzed by
the Oiler players and fans alike
his criticism of Burnside's work
that the arbiter chased him from
the Tulsa bench in the fifth in
ming. II looked funny to see a play
er banished from the park for MOTH
ing more serious than little con-
versation, when Elsh of Sioux City
was permitted to hurl his bat 20
feet into the air the day before and
get awav with II.
Back In Third Place.
The third setback in four days was
an awful comedown for the oilers,
who, a week ago were celebrating
their prowess in setting a worlds
record by winning seven games in
four days. Moreover, as st. Joe
continues to win regularly, the re-
verses at the hands of the Packers
saw Tulsa losing ground in a race
already resembling a procession. In
spite OF the fact that Wichita lost
Monday and remained idle Tuesday,
the Oilers lost second place TO the
lS2ies by two points.
Oh, these last few days have been
bitter pill indeed, for the men OF
Lelivelt, notwithstanding the fact
that every game lost has been
regular battle and fought up to the
last minute. Maybe we can beat
Oklahoma City, who comes today for
four-game series.
Bennett Draws First Blood.
Herschel Bennett kept up his
: rring OF consecutive hitting by slam
ming out a solid homerun on the first
eall pitched by Williams IN the first
inning.
Aside from this feat there was
little OF note in the first two rounds
other than the fact that every Oiler
swatted the ball right on the nose
only 10 see line drives buzz directly
INTO the hands of waiting Sioux
City players.
Glascr Starts Well.
Hub Glaser sailed along like a
brand new monoplane in the first
TWO innings. In the third, Indian
Joe Robinson started rally that
proved disastrous. Leading Off with
a single Joe spurred Query to do
likewise. II wouldn't have been so
oad at that but for a lucky break at
