Cullop Suffered Sad Fate.
The third game OF the Des
Molnea series was won only after
the hardest battle OF the engage
ment. Young Nick Cullop. who OPP
posed Sherman on tho hilltop, had a
world of stuff. but was bothered
somewhat by wlldness. For three
and n half innings II was n nip and
tuck contest and gave promise OF
being "a light pitchers duel, but In
the local half OF the fourth Cullop's
defense wobbled pitiably, unnorying
the hurier, and the Oilers took n
commanding lead that broke up the
game. A drizzling rain threatened

and fourth innings but after the
oilers had secured a winning mar

In his firrt appearance as n Tulsa
pitcher at McNulty park Sherman
gave every indication OF being n
winner for the oilers. He held Des

homeruns that accounted for five

Horan hit two of these, hts first be-
