scene of another bloody
maScre yesaterday. For the
second straight day the Oiler:
went after Jack Graney's
Boosters like n band of Eol-
sheviki terrorists might tear
into a party of unarmed blue
bloods. The slaughter was
even more wholesale than on
Monday, the score being II

before was only 13 to 3.
McInughlin's Debut Pleasing.

sacrifice fly.
II was one OF those gbmes In
which the result IN never In doubt
from the first. The OILERS on

runs. while the Iowans In that time
had not been able to negOtiate tns

Oilers Win II in First.
Tulsa won the game In the first
inning, though this fact probably
was overlooked by most OF those

that came later. The opening wedge

Davis and Lamb couldn't do any
good, but Lelivelt picked out a nice;
Juicy offering and knocked tho ball

center.
The II runs that came after that
we're purely incidental, but they fur
nIshed the fans tho necessary en-
tertainment to make n hot afternoon
bearable and also fattened up the
Individual averages OF several dif-
ferent members OF the squad. not
ably Tex Crosby who gracefully re-
tired after gStting three hits In as
many times UP and gave his under
study, "Dutch" Wftte. a chance to
break into the sox score.
Notwithstanding tho large and

pulled far off the bag by Stuarts

After they had broken the Ice In

for the only run of the third.
1t was In the fourth that the Dee
Moines goat was really captured, and
q comedy of errors made the half
dozen runs possible. Thompson
singled sharply to left and chased
TO second when Grancy let the ball
roll to the enbaukment. Davis
strolled. Lamb moved them along
with a sacrifice. Lelivelt bounded
