"Slaughtcr" Two Pitchers.
The oilers simply continued the
mad hitting spree they launched the
day before. Turned back scoreless
for the first three innings by the
clong1ted and usually effective
ANDY" Mcdonald. they launched n
savage batting attack IN the fourth
inning that continued through the
fifth, sixth ana seventh, resulting In

Washburn Boood by Fans.
Before Thursdays game. the fans
had heard OF the battle In tho club
house the night before when "Mule"
Washburn attacked George Boehler
and later seriously disabled Dave
Danforth. and when the big Wichita
second sacker came to bat the first
time he was given salyo OF booes
and misses. II was the same every
time he stepped TO tho plate. This
was the only reminder OF the fight,
as there was not the slightest hint
Of trouble among the players who
had shaken hands all around earlier
In the day and agreed TO forget 1t.
Thursdays game started OFF like
another tight. low score box duel.
After Wichita had scored n pair In
the first and the Oilers had been
moved down for three innings by
the lanky Mcdonald fans settled
back IN their seats and began worry
ing II IL was TO bo u repetition OF
last Monday afternoons game when
st. Joe scored two Off Boehler In the
second inning and the two proved
enough to win.
Then the Big Attack.
Whatever fears along this line the
spectators may have had were dis
sipated I'm the fourth Davis and
Lamb openad with singles and after
Lelivct had lined to Mcdonald. good
old Paddy Bauman smaaked one
over the leftfield fence and put the
Oilers out ahead,
The onslaught was resumed In
the fourth which saw the finish OF
Mcdonald Boehior stroiled aud
Bennett moved him along with a
sacrifice. Thompson walked, Then
Hank Davis decided Il was time TO
hit his 29th homer. which sailed
over the right field wall. This broke
the 28-an tie between Davis and
Lamb for homo run honurs of the
league, 10 Lamb who was next up
hit prodigious wallop over the
sccrehoard and tied his teammate
again. O'Neill was trotted TO the
relief and Lelivelt greeted him with
n trick double down the first base
line, which, followed by McGinnis'
single and Crosby's double mado the
Tulsa count for the inning six runs
and put tho game on ice.
In the sixth Bennett delivered his
contribution 10 the home run column
and other hits caued the departure
for the clubhouse OF pitcher O'Neill
A total OF three runs came in this
round, Atkins, a Western associa-
ton recruit, stood the punishment
The rest OF the rout
Davis Gets 3Oth Homer.
Now Yunk Davis had set yester-
day as the day Tor taking clean
lead IN home runs. 50, In the
seventh, ne decided It was time for
No. 3d. lie waited until Bennett
had singled and then drove tho ball
over the right field barrier. This was
TOO much for Lamb, whose attempt
at No, 30 proved a weak pop TO
Washburn.
The oilers had hatted themselves
lust about I'm the mad offensive OF
he four innings described, and went
out in order IN the eighth saving
