Omaha Club Emerges on Long End of Series With Tulsa Oilers by Winning “Rubber” Game Buffaloes Rally in Eighth and Beat Champs Herd Scores Five Ruh9 Off Black and Wins From Tulsa, 7 to 4. Ry RAU’ll WAGNER. MAMA threw over one of those bat ting attacks on the Tulsa Oilers in the eighth inning yes terday afternoon and when t he smoke of the round had cleared away, the Buffaloes were hanging on to a 7 to 4 score, which, by the way, won the third and linal contest of the se ries for the herd. The Buffaloes were trailing the Oilers when they went into their half of the eighth. The score was 4 to 2 and it sure looked like Jack Lelivelt and his miuad of players would leave town with tlie big end of the series. Clark was on the mound for the visitors and was petting bumped quite fre quently. He was backed up by some bandy support on the part of his mates, all of which kept the herd's score down to the two mark until the fatal eighth. "Tex" McDonald, who played a whale of a game at third all after noon, was the first Buffalo to hat in i his inning. "Tex" worked Clark for a puss. That pass to MrlruiuUl started Clark on the path to the showers. Along came Itunowltz and worked Clark for another ticket to first. "Bug" Griffn was next and he slammed out a single, filling the hags. Clark was wobbling good and plenty by this time and when Konetehy came to bat the Oiler "chucker'’ shot over two straight balls. That was enough for Boss Lelivelt, who summoned Karl Black to the hill and Clark made his exit snappy and sweet. Karl was no puzzle to the herd. "Koney” celebrnted his entrance to the game by poking a single out to left, scor ing McDonald with the third Omaha run. "Bed” Wilder went in to bat for Hale and cracked out a sacrifice, scoring Bonowitz with the tying run. ‘ Nick" Cullop went in for May at the rubber and whiffed, making two down for the herd. "Dick” O'Connor, who has been playing bang-up bail for the local entry in the league, came through with a dandy' double to cen ter field, scoring Griffn and Konetehy with the runs that beat the league champions, 7 to 4. After this scoring spree on the part of Omaha, Wilcox singled to renter and DeFate -lined a sln^lo to left. Wilcox tried to make the rubber, but was nabbed before he planted any one of his “dogs” on the plate. That little batting rally was just what the BufTaloes needed to take two out of the three games from Tulsa. Bailey started for Omaha, but last ed only a short time In the first In ning. He walked the first Oiler and then went to the showers. May took hie place and hurled good ball for the herd. He walked only two visitors and allowed seven very' scattered hits. He was given the best kind of sup port by every Buffalo. That was a big help. Tulsa managed to score a pair of markers in the second, when Lelivelt walked and Bauman singled to right. O'Connor fumbled the ball and Leli velt scored, while Bauman took third. Crosby's single brought In Bauman with the second Tulsa marker. Davis’ base on balls In the sixth, followed by Lamb's triple, scored the third Oiler score, while the fourth Tulsa score came In the eighth. Lee got hit and was boosted to second on a sacrifice. An infield out let him go to third and he scored a minute later on Lamb's single. St. Joseph opens a three-game series here today. Vernon Buys Rader. Los Angeles.—Don Rader of the Beaumont club of the Texas league, has been purchased by the Vernon club of the Pacific coast baseball league to play shortstop In place of Ray French, who. together with Jess Doyle, pitcher, was made a free agent by Judge K.

ENG, May 3.—The St. George challenge cup, one of the most Important golf trophies In England, has been captured by the American invad ers. Dr. O. P. Willing of Port land, Ore., and Francis Ouimet of Boston, former American open champion, tied for first place in the two days' stroke competition which ended today, with aggregate scores of 153 each. They will play 18 holes tomorrow to decide the winner. Robert A. Gardner of Chicago, cap tain of the American team, turned in a card of 79, bringing his aggregate for the two days' play to 154. His card today: Out—544, 454, 434—37. In—554, 555, 355—42—79. Roger Wethered, the British star, who was defeated by Jock Hutchison in the playoff of a tie for the British open championship in 1921, was defi netly put out of the running for the cup w hen lie turned in a score of 81 for today's 18 boles, bringing his ag gregate score to 157. Dr. Willing's card was Out—543, 542, 553, 644—38. In—454, 465. 355, 41—79 Ouimet's card was: Out—544. 554, 334—37. Ill—544. 544, 545. 40—77. Sandwich, Eng..

It was an outburst comparable only to those occasionallydndulged in by Bob by Jones, another famous American golfer. Sweetser was miles off his game in the present tournament and try as he might, rould not seem to re gain his touch, as golfers call it. lie j had an 81 for 18 holes yesterday, lacking control in and around the greens, where his usual accuracy failed him. Just what his total was today can only be imagined. Not only his accuracy on the greens but the control of his long game de serted him as he atlempled to re trieve lost ground, lie was In the rough many times, often was short with his Irons and altogether showed little of the form that gamed him the American amateur title in a great field. The present season marks Sweet ser's fust experience with English courses, which differ radically from those in America, the greens being faster and high winds a constant handicap. Lack of familiarity with local conditions is believed to have thrown him off stride. Portland Releases Hurlrr.

The outstanding feature of the past week's performances In the American league has been the consistent hall playing by the Detroit Tigers. Cleveland's fine work made that team a close second. However, there is more power In the hat wielding of the Tiger*, and should they get Just fairly average pitching, of which I am sure they will, look out! Ibllmann is off to a running start, proving that his shoulder Is o. k , while Ty Cobb Is Just himself. Nuff said. The Indians are fighting hard, and while they are experimenting eonsld erably, still Speaker has proved him self an excellent leader by going out on the field and doing things despite a very had and troublesome knee Kurrmia and l.uuke are doing fine work and (iulsto has all the earmarks of a good man. Aanhs Need Warm Weather. The Yankee* arc a warm weather I all club. Ity that I mean they have enough veteran* so that when the sun gets good and hot they will show at their heat. Ruth Is hitting well and fielding and pitching In general Is commendable. Ho there Is nothing to worry nbout, Mr. Huggins. Ht. liOtlls. of course, has felt III loss of so great a player as Hlsler and It Is hoped he will soon appear as well as ever. This comment Is not to he taken as a criticism. McManus Is so good a man at second that It might hurt his playing powers by moving him. even temporarily, to first base. However, the club has done wonderfully well during Hlslei s absence.

WALSII. Interiuattniinl New* Vnlrr Sport* Editor. I5W YORK. May 3. — It may he a bit early fur morning glories, the pres ent season being a particularly back ward one. but there Hi-e indica tions that the hu man crop in the major leagues at least, is not only e x p e n a ive. but large. Perhaps, after all, this will be the last year of extravagant minor league purchases, as John McGraw anil other smart baseball men are prone to believe, McGraw most 1 er talniv will not be a party to another orgy of spending unless Jimmy it Con nell and Jack Bentley soon begin to resemble major league ball players, something they have contrived to avoid since the opening of the season. Bentley, who is said to have cost $65,000, has failed to last five innings in two starts and either Stengel or Cunningham is destined to replace tlie $75,000 O'Connell, unless he starts to hit. pronto. Ilalo Hoots 'Km. Theso cases are typical of the star minor leaguers’ performances with a few isolated exceptions. Tris Speaker went intfj rhapsodies over Walter Lutzke, his $30,000 third baseman. Lutzke Is not hitting and does not look as though he will. Slyalt, the $50,000 catcher, has not made Speaker forget that Steve O'Neill is a member of the baseball club. The I'hlis claimed they paid $40, ono for Heine Sand, but, to date he has played like a s-hool boy. He kirks one or two of them around nearly every day, generally In the pinches. Sam Hale, the alleged $75,• 000 third lutseman of the Athletics, has not hsd a chance to show, owing to injuries, but Boehler and Kunz. high priced Pirate pitchers, hat e faced plenty of opportunities and as many base hits. Willie Kamm. the most costly of the lot, has done well enough for the White Sox and probably will do bet ter. His hitting has not l*-en im pressive, hut Kamm is expected to live that down. He looks the part of a hitter. So does O'Connell, and as a matter of fact. Bentley looks like a pitcher. He got a very late start In the south and may come along. Lelivelt Still Going Strong Jack Lellvelt, former player ami nmnagei of the Omaha Western >■,<!)' cluh*. show* no sign* of slipping.

Is considered. Th list, while a lengthy one, by no means is conclusive. Snow at Norfolk Norfolk, Neb., May 3.—Snow flur ries and rain were general in north Nebraska today.
