H^sfern League Champions Win First Game of Series From Buffaloes by Score of 7 to 5 Tulsa Gives McLaughlin Good Support Errors Costly to Omaha— Okrie Cullop Fail Check South* erners. By RALPH WAGNER. combination of inferior pitching and worse defensive work handicapped the Buffaloes in the first game of the series with the Tulsa Oilers here _ today. The enlon {rated Frank Okrie and the not «o 1 enlongated “Tex” [ McDonald a nd "Pug” Griffin were the chief of fenders. i With the count nothing to noth mg in the second, Frank Okrie began to come loose at the seams and be fore the Inning was over. Manager Ed Konetchy waved him to the show ers and trotted out "Nick” Cullop. "Nick” was not much more of a 1 puzzle to the visiting batters than , Okrie. He was "stung” quite fre- j quently and before the game was over, allowed the champs nine hits, I of which one was a homer by Lelivelt and doubles by Thompson and Stuart. These nine hits off Cullop coupled with the three Tulsa bounced off Okrie completed the 13 swats the southerners collected in their first game in this town. Errors Costly. The errors that put the herd in the i hole came in the second and third ; Innings. In the second inning, Bau- | man doubled. Stuart lined one down j to McDonald and he hobbled the drive. Crosby's single scored Bauman • nd McLaughlin's hot jliner down the third base line scored Stuart. Okrie got himself yanked out of tbs box when he hit Lee. That filled the bases. Cullop strutted out to the box and Thompson celebrated his en trance to the game by sacrificing and scoring Crosby. The next Oiler i grounded out and the agony ended. The second error that hurt the Buffaloes' ^bances of victory was a plain bobble. l.amb, the first man up, in the third, sent a high one out to left field. “Pug” Griffin got under the drive and managed to wrap hia mltta around the hall, only to drop the pellet. Then Lelivelt smacked out a homer over the right field fence. Two runs In this in ning for the Oilers. The Buffaloes managed to hang up a score in the second when Mc Donald came through with a single to left. Bonowltz skied out and Griffin brought McDonald in with a double to left. "Pug” tried to stretch his double into a triple, but missed shout a mile or two. Oilers Score. Nothing happened until (he fifth when Tulsa chalked up another marker. Cullop walked Idtmb and showed pretty rood judgment In do ing so. Lelivelt's sacrifice boosted Lamb to second and the Stuart’s double to left drove in the sixth Oiler score. The Buffaloes started a rally in the >lxth and did pretty well. After Cul lop popped to Crosby, O'Connor poked H single out to left field. Apperson sent a weak hit out to right and O'Connor didn't know just what to do. He saw Apperson on first and then decided that the only thing he could do would be to gallop down to second, but was unable to make the grade. That made it two out for trte Buffaloes. McLaughlin started to weaken and walked the next two men, filling the bags. Bonowitz’s triple to deep left cleared the sacks snd threw a scare Into the systems of the Oilers. Konetchy was unsble to connect with the hall and the side retired without McLaughlin being jerked out of the game. Again in the sixth round, the Oilers succeeded in scoring when Lee singled to center, went to third on Thomp son's double and scored on Davis’ single. Thompson attempted to make ihc home platter on Davis’ single, ! but Aprperson's throw to Hale nabbed the Oiler third baseman at the rubber. That run of Lee's was the final one of the game for the visitors and was plenty. Rally Falls Short. Omaha entered the eighth three runs behind the champs. The herd tried another rally, but it fell short iwo runs of knotting the count. O'Connor got hia third single of the afternoon and eoored the fifth Buf l8le> gun when Jimmy Wilcox, batting for Apperson, cracked out a double to keep center. The next three Buffa loes w>re easy outs. Three double plays, two by the Oilers and one by the herd, snapped up the game. Court Ordpr.% Ruth to Pay .790.9/ for Auto Qoma/iPs New Tork.

Oil Gave Shelby Big Ideas __ ___i Great Fall*, Mont., May 1.—Shelby. Mont., where it is proposed to hold a championship fight July Fourth be tween Jack Dempsey, heavyweight titleholder, and Tom Gibbons, chal lenger, is 100 miles north of Great Falls. Today it is a prosperous oil town, but when it sprang intb being back in the 80s it was little more than a big cattle camp. Established some 40 years ago as a cow town when the Great Northern railroad opened up that section of the country, Shelby later witnessed the invasion of the sheep herder and his immense flocks and still later, the inevitable land boom. With the pass ing of the land boom, due to a series of dry seasons, Shelby's population dropped to 300 souls. Then, not so long ago, Shelby's population mounted upward ten fold following the dlscov ery of oil in the Kevln-Sunburst field, near the town. Due lo the near by oil Interests, residents of the town will tell you, Shelby is now entering upon the more permanent stages of its development as an oil town. Despite the fact that Shelby is but 40 miles from the Canadian bord er and on the principal rum run ning route from the north, Its morals are said to be better than those al leged to be found usually In boom oil communities. The town's population consist! largely of oil men and those persons necessary to the development of new oil fields. The people are prosperous and the banks have emerged from the condition of financial stress to the point where they cannot place all the fundi now at their disposal. Many of the prosperous oil men are interested equally with the American Legion in bringing a championship heavyweight battle to Shelby. ' The Montana state boxing law, passed in 1920, permits 16-round box ing contests to a decision, with, six ounce gloves in a 24 foot ring. Such contests may be put on by any au thorised club which furnishes a bond of $5,000. Fifty per cent of the pro ceeds of boxing bouts go to the state and placed in a special fund. When this fund reaches a sufficient amount it is to be devoted to the building of a state hospital for disabled veterans of the world war. To date American Legion posts have been in charge of most of the bogtng contesTs held In the state. — - I Western League WttrtiTC Hot n«Mlm.

EVERS, Former Mar of Chicago < uha. Written Blpreaaly for I nivrraal herrlre. The major league baseball learns are gradually settling down to their regular pace. Ofttimes different cilice with fair teams that get away to a flying start ars under the false im pression that their teams will Surely win ths championships and ar e great ly disappointed when the warmer weather arrives and the real class of the league comes to the front, but this is only a repetition of many for mer years of early and shattered ideals. Quite a few youngsters are start ing up well, but it is a long grind to Octohsr. Up to ths present the Boston Braves, through Ered Mitch ell, seem to have secured the best re sults from recruits. Conlon at sec ond base. Bagwell in the outfield and Genewich and McNamara pltchera have shown eo well aa to predict they will last. The two defeats tbs Braves handed to the Giants the past week can be attributed to the excel lent work of those four recruits. The Giants haven't as yet struck their real stride and maybe it ie b'eat for the league they haven’t. How ever, they are even now playing the most consistent baseball In either league. The infield Is going fine, aa Is ths outfield and the catching. When the pitching tightens up, away they will go. Pittsburgh took a slight spurt. It is no flash in the pan aa the material is there and results will show. This is also trus of Cincinnati. Neither team boasts of sny real recruits. Most of the players on both teams have been through ths test. St. Louts has shown signs of com irg to life. A few games like Toney turned In with that slugging outfit will bring results. While it seems strange, still it is true that both teams from that city seem to spurt every time they are on foreign soil. Rickey ha» a trio of recruits in Blades, Bot tomley and Treigan that look very good. and as Hornsby is still hitting strong, the Cardinals are always dan gerous. Sand I-ooks Good. The Cubs seem to have had eome tough breaks. The team Is holding i:p well even without the services of Hollocher. the shortstop. -However. Kelliher has been doing such good work that the loss is hardly notice able. Considering the conditions, with practically a whole new infield, the team has dona remarkably well. Philadelphia has done fine work so Creighton and Nebraska to Meet on Golf Course Nebraska versus Creighton. When the names of these schools are linked together in a manner to aignify competition, followers of the iwo schools experience a thrill of de light. On the gridiron and on the haid wood floor, teams of the two schools have struggled for supremacy, but they're coming together in a new phase of sports—on the golf course. Tomorrow at 1 o'clock at the Coun try club, four of Nebraska's foremost club swingers will tee off against four Creighton players. The Blue will be represented by William McCarthy, (>ene I^pierre,; Gus Edwards and Anthony .Salerno,] Nebraska lias not notified the Creigh ton officials w ho its players will he. Although Nebraska's team Is not known, it has but to pick four of its best golfers for victory to he assured for the Hcarlet and Cream boasts of some of the best golfers in the state. p. Bogai-dus of the Creighton en dowment fund. Is the donor of a cup which will become the permanent property of the school which wins it three consecutive years. Competition for the cup must be between Nebraska and Creighton. far under the leadership of ArtFletch-1 er. His recruits, such as Sand. Hen line and Behan, have done excellent ly, particularly the first named, and just as soon as he steadies in his fielding he will he a fixtuie.
