FIRST TO SOLONS
Start Final Series by Beating
Bartlesville, 6 to 2.
Hit O'NeaI Hard in Early
Stages-SeasOn Ends Today.

By hitting O'Neal hard in the early
innings, the Solons took the first game
of the final series of the season from
Bartlesville yesterday afternoon, 3
to 2. Eight hits in four innings, some
OF them for extra bases. told the story
Bockskopf led the attack on 0'Neai
with two doubles and a single, Rose
hit a single and a double, Smith
double and Strohm came thru with
long triple O'Neal heightened after
the fourth but the damage was al
ready done. Willis, of the visitors,
also drove out pair of doubles, but
Pierce held the rest of the Bartlesville
team to three hits.
Smith, playing in the outfield be-
cause Rose had to take up Peterson
post at third base, walked to start the
Solons' party in the first inning, ana
was safe at second on an error by
Boyd. Horn was safe on a scratch
single, but was forced at second by
Strohm, Smith going to third. O'Neal
hit Rose and the bases were groggy
when Bockskopf hit to center for two
bases. The three runners scored but
Becky was thrown out trying TO
stretch his hit into a triple. Bross
grounded to Boyd for the third out.
Solons Were Hitting.
Yendes walked in the second and
was pushed along by Clarke who laid
down neat bunt. Pierce flew out to
center field but Smith doubled and
Yendes scored. In the third, Strohm
led off with a triple to right center
and scored on a double by Rose
Becky again doubled. scoring Rose,
but a double play on Bross and Becky
nipped the rally. Two singles and
two errors gave the Pettigrews two
runs in the seventh, but the rest of the
time Pierce had everything his own
way. The score:

ing such an arrangement all summer,
can sit up and take notice The So
Ions may scatter a bit during the
week, but Cooley hopes to keep Smith
and Pierce on hand to do the hurting,
and says he will have no trouble in
getting Strohm, Yendes, Horn and
Clarke to come here from Kansas City
where they all live. Smith lives at
Springfield, and Pierce lives at Kansas
City. If needed, Benn might be in
duced to return from his home at
Miami, Okla. Peterson should be
able to get in the game by that time
for the Solons, but it is hardly likely
that Bross, Bockskopf or Rose will be
available Bross and Bockskopf live
in st. Louis and Roses home is Los
Angeles. Anyway Cooley says he will
have a team equal in strength to the
Solons on hand to battle the railroad
ers and in that case there can be no
alibis after the two games are over.
If Cooley finds he is apt to be short
of materials, he says he can fill in
with players from some other team
in the league. The first game of the
doubleheader will be called at 2:30
o'clock.

THE LAST TO HUTCHINSON

Poor Support Given Mitchell.

Poor support Given Mltchen.
The Solons gave Mitchell poor sup
port and lost the last game OF the
series to Hutchinson, Saturday, to 5.
The Solons added another in the Sec
ond and at the end of the sixth were
leading at the rate of o 2. 1t should
have been an easy victory for the
home club but errors gave the visitors
a pair of runs in the second, and a
combination of hits and errors al
lowed them to tie the score in the
seventh. To break the tie. Lemon sent
the ball over the right field fence in
the ninth and the Solons couldn't even
up. The Shockers hit Mitchell hard
in the seventh but the Lanky Topeka
hurler deserved a win as only two OF
Hutchinson's runs were earned. The

Bartlesville and Topeka are winding

Bartlesville is one of the smallest

Muskogee has won the pennant in
the second half and will now fight it
out with Barney CIeveland's Sapulpa
Yanks who won the first half of the
seasons go, for the championship of
the league. Here is the prediction
that the Nets will cop the bunting.
Muskogee has the best team in the
league and has had all season.
If this means anything to Earl
Smith, who with Shorty Pierce, has
carried the burden of the pitching for
the Solons, he is entitled to it. The
Nets beat Smith only once this sea-
son.
When Dutch Peterson turned his
ankle putting Jones out in close play,
Saturday afternoon, he was thru as a
player this season. Dutch" watched
the game from the press box yesterday
and will be unable to play today. The
Topeka lad has been a steady, conSis-
tent player for Cooley all summer. In
fielding he ranks with the best in the
league and during the past few weeks
has been hitting around the 300 mark.
AS a rule it is hard for a home boy
to make good on the home team but
Peterson turned the trick in fine style.
Being in the cellar has taken a lot
of pep out of foxy Ned Pettigrew.
Only once yesterday did he become
riled up and say mean things to the
umpire. On former occasions he came
in from the outfield for a rag chewing
nearly every inning. Pettigrew may
be old and craky but he can still hit
the old ball and his throwing arm
