in the ninth. Paul Sherman
for Tulsa, but the failure Of hi
Bembling an offensive with tn
In vain.
Lamb nnd Fish Come "a blows.
As is always tho case when the
oilers and Packers get together the
Intense rivalry cropped out and fire.
uuent wrangling and nrguments
punctuated the bnstlme. Tho climax
was a brief and bloodless but never
Hheless exciting fist fight between
the rival conterfelders, Lamb of
Tulsa anu Fish of Sioux city, In
front OF tho Rrandstand Immediately
after the game. Players ana police
separated the combatnnts before
any damage had been done.
Tho cause Of the fight was n play
in the ninth when the oilers made
their only threat OF the game. Davis
opened with a single and Lamb fol-
lowed suit, McGinnlA. in tho role Of
ninch hitter for Manager Bollvelt,
grounded sharply TO Palmer. the
Packer second haseman. and Lamb
was forced at second. when Hamil-
ton tried to throw TO tirst 10 double
McGinnis his arm struck Lamb and
he threw the ball on top OF tho
grandstand. Davis scoring and Nc
Ginnis being stopped Mt second base
hy the umpires.
500 In Frothlng Sklt.
A wholesale frothing exhibition
was then put on by tho entire Sioux
city team, the Packers claiming
Lamb had deliberately interferred
with Hamilton, but Umpire Ander-
son ruled otherwise. SO "a Elsh came
in from center after tho inning was
ended he made n remark that stirred
lamb'a ire and the Oiler gardener
tied into him. a swarm OF spectat ors
crowded around them and they were
soon pried apart, despite vigorous
Efforts by each to get at the other.
It's eaay to account for tho Oiler
defeat. Tho boys simply couldn't
hit the routhpaw offerings of the
Wilson person. They garnered a to-
tai OF five measly binglcs, all one
basers, and no two In IA single In
ming, save tho pair by Davis and
lamb in the ninth. Most of the
time the erstwhile Oiler sluggers
were popping 'om up and down.
The fences got welcome rest, 80
FAR as the oilers We're concerned.
Metz Only Homcrun Hitter.
The only home run of tho after
noon bounced off the big bltdgeon
OF Frank Metz in the second inning
for the first tally OF the game. Then.
ns inning by inning passed and
neither side scored again, this lone
marker loomed bigger and bigger.
No; until the seventh did the score
board again feel the weight OF n
run, Sioux City again being the for
tunate one. In this round ElEh aiu-
gled and stole second and Metz
again proved tho wrecker, driving
him In with n single. Sioux City's
final marker developed In tho ninth,
a base on balls 10 Hemingway. Sher-
mans tumble of Elisha sacrifice, a
sacrifice by Metz and Ostergards y
infleld out producing II. Tulsa 3
only counter came as already record
cd In the ninth.
Sioux city might have had anoth-
er chance to register only for too
daring baserunnlng. No less than
four Packer baserunners wera
nipped on the paths by Tex Crosbys
good right arm, Elsh being caught
twice and Hamilton and Ostergard
once each. Elsh also pulled base
running homer. leaving first base In
the fourth after singing and being
doubled on Metz's fly 10 Lamb.
Wilson In Rare Form.
Wilson held the oilers hltless In
she first three innings, Thompson's
single opening the fourth being
Tnlsa's first hit. Lellvelt dumped
a Texas Lacquer back of second I'm
the fifth and Tulsa could do no more
IN the attacking line until the eighth
when Bennett singled to center. The
oilers did have what appeared to be
~ chance In the sixth when Bennett
and Thompson walked with only
one out, but Davis and Lamb IN
turn popped TO Hemingway.
The ninth really witnessed Tulsa s
bnly formidable bid for Victory.
Davis led off with a single against
the fence In right and Lamb followed
with one-baser TO center. Mana
ger Lelivelt had been bothered by
Wilson's portside shoots and slauts
all afternoon, 80 he sent McGinnls,
fresh rlghthand hitter in 10 bat.
Ills judgment was borne out when
Mac hit the ball right on the nose,
but as luck would have II the sphere
went straight into the hands Of Pal
mer, and IL would have heon n cinch
double play but for Hamilton's arm
encountering Lamb Hs he threw to
first. After Davis had scored and
McGtnnis moved TO second as all
ready described, Bauman grounded
10 Palmer for the second out.
Luke Plays Casey nt the Bat.
Luke Stuart came up with his
trusty war club and the fans pleaded
for a homer which would have tied
the score. but the best Luke could
do was emulate Casey at the bat and
swing Justify but futlloly at de-
ceptive third strike, ending The game
and the agony.
One Of the hest wookday crovv1s
OF the year turned out for the battle.
Another is In prospect for this after
noon when George Boehler the
leagues leading bOXman, in all prob
ability will be sent TO the mound by
Manager Lelivelt In an effort to
curb the Sioux city nemesis Davis,
who beat Tulsa in Sioux city in his
last start against the oilers, Ia ex-
pected TO have the honor (and prob
ably the misfortune) OF playing op-
poslte Boehler,
