resistable march pennantward
Monday by striding rough
shod over the Omaha Buffa-
loes in the fourth game of the
series. The score was 8 to 3.
When Paddy Bauman took
Gislason's grounder for the
last out the Oilers were just
two and n half games behind
the leading Saints, as the
news already had reached Nc
Nulty park that Denver had
shut out the peacemakers j
to 0, il being the first time this
year that any team had turned
that trick save Tulsa.
tn eThrce Big Factors.
Tho big bats OF Lyman Lamb and
Herschol Bennett and tho strong
right arm OF Hollis Mclaughlin were
the chief factors In tho ninth
straight victory turned in by Jack
Lelivelt's crew. Lamb hit "A home
run in the third with two on ahead
that carried tho oilers from one
run behind 10 two In front, n margin
sufficient to have won, Bennett
poled a four-bagger In the sixth. also
with two on, that brokeup the pitch
ers' battle between Mclaughlin and
Darrough, the double -heador spe-
oiailst. putting the game on tho we'll
known and cooling ice. Mclaughlin
was master of the hard hitting Ne
braskans at all stages after tho sec
ond, allowing but on hit from the
second TO the eighth when he etsed
UP after Tulsa had n cinch.
Total OF III for the oilers.
Lambs four-base wallop. a power
ful drive high and far over tho bar
rier in left. was his twenty-third
circuit clout OF the season and put
him Just two behind Yank Davis,
the king OF swat In the Western
league. who has 2s. Bennett's
homer made Il an even score for
him this year. The two gave the
oilers III for the season.
The game was played on n sogRy
and In spots slipper field and got
under way 20 minutes lato because
OF the dampnesB. Several showers
during the morning and early after
noon made II appear that u game
wouldn't be possible--but with tho
oilers going like the big fire In Chi
cago and Omaha here for the last
visit of the season, It would take
more than little rain TO induce the
local management 60 agree to a
postponement.
Tho oilers drew first blood In the
initial inning, after two were down.
Darrough started auspiciously by
tanning Bennett and Thompson. but
committed an expensive error OF
judgment when he walked Yank
Davis. Lamb smashed hit TO deep
short, the slow field making play
impossible. and Lellvelt singled 10
right scoring Davis.
Took Lead In Second.
In the second Omaha scored twice
and annexed a one-run lead. Manush
grounded TO Thompson for the first
out, but Babe Herman singled to
right. Pug" Griffin got back at
the boolng crowd by whanglng
whIzzlng wallop into the scoreboard
for n trip around the circuit. will
cox was retired on a nice play by
Thompson, but Spencer doubled TO
deep left and Darrough followed
him with q drive that looked like IA
homerun at first, only TO have Ben
nett dash up the embankment In
left and take the ball off the fence
and the third out.
This was the only inning where
the visitors looked really dangerous
From then on until the Oilers wer"
safely In the van Mclaughlin had
the Buff sluggers browsing out %
his hand.
Come Right Back.
The Oilers refused to stay long In
the rear. Darrough turned them
back In order In the third on infleld
grounders. but In the fourth with
one gone Bennett started what
proved the winning rally with a hot
single TO right. Thompson popped
to Herman for the second out and
again Darrough made the mistake of
walking Davis. Lamb showed Dar-
rough what he is in tho cleanup
hole for by knocking the ball a
quarter OF n mile into the air and
Just about similar distance beyond
the wall in left, giving Tulsa a lead
OF AZ which proved sufficient TO
have won.
Things rocked along thusly until
the seventh when Tulsa again sprung
an attack. Luke s. (Swat) Stuart
led off with a single TO left and Witte
bunted safely. McLaughlln moved
his mates along with sacrifice. hut
his role OF martyr proved to have
been unnecessary when Bennett fol-
lowed with a four-baser over right,
cinching the result--if II ever had
been in doubt.
Eascd Up Bit.
With a comfortable margin "a
work on. Mclaughlin eased up I'm
the eighth. The Bluffs promptly took
advantage OF this and soon had a
threatening rally under way. Spencer
opened with his second double and
moved to third on Darrough's out
Gislason's Texas Lacquer scored
Spencer and Apperson bounced a
lucky safety off McLaughlln's glove
Bates skled TO Davis for the second
out Manush hit a hard grounder
between second and first that Bau-
man stopped by great play but mad
no chance to throw out the runner
and the bases were filled. Baumar
gathered Herman's grounder for the
third out and the rally was over.
In the Tulsa half of the eighth the
oilers scored a pair more Just for
good measure. Lamb walked and
was forced by Lelivelt. Baumar
doubled TO deep left and LeliveI
and Bauman both counted or
Stuart's hard single to left. Stuar
was trapped off second and Witte'l
single was wasted.
Griffin and Wilcox singled II
