By RALPH WAGNER. MAHA plnyed good ball behind Frank Okrie yesterday afternoon and by doing so managed to hand the Wich ita Witches a K to 2 package of de « feat. It was the second game of the series ami by virtue of their win the Buffaloes are now on a 50 50 basis with the visitors. Okrle had his j southpaw "soup bone working in fine style all afternoon. The Buffalo »hurler. who seems to he about the only member of the Omaha hurling T»taff who can hand the Witches a > defeat, Jet the visitors down v.-ith | eight very, very scattered hits. ’ Coupled with Okrie's dandy pitching i was the hangup fielding of the en i tire herd. Only two hobbles were J chalked up against the Buffaloes, but [ what matters an error or two as long ; as the employes of Barney Burch turn I in a victory? The same thing tVoubled Wichita | yesterday that handicapped the Buf faloes during the opening game Wed nesday. The Witches were unable 1 to clout the ball at the opportune 1 time. The visitors left nine men ! stranded on the hags. Buffaloes IMay Good Ball. Omaha played good ball and there’s ! no getting .’round it. The infield ! functioned mighty good and the out 1 fielders made several catches of the ! spectacular variety, especially was ! this true of ‘‘Pug’’ Griffin's catch of McDonald's high fly in the fiftli in ning with the tying run on second. ’ Lefty” Kellers was on the hill for | the Witches. Sellers was sort of stingy with hts hits, but before the game was over the Buffaloes connect ed with his delivery for an even doz en for a total of 15 bases and six runs. The Wichita hurler was partly , responsible for the two scores chalk I ed up against bis team In the first I inning. "Lefty” issued free tickets | to first to the first two Buffaloes to face him. "Tony” DeFate then forced O'Connor at third and Mc Donald followed in DeFate’s tracks, forcing Apperson at second. With two gone and two on, Kellers made an awful balk and boosted the two Buffa loes up a peg, putting DeFate on third and McDonald on second. Joe Bonowitz picked tip his willow and slammed out a single to center, scor ing the first two Omaha runs. Joe was nabbed a little later trying to 1 gwipe the second ssi k. Pull Ofr Double Play. In Wichita’s half of tile second the Buffaloes pulled off the first double play of the season here and cut short what might have been a rally on the pert of the visitors. McDonald and Apperson figured in the Rouble play and pulled it off in great style. Okrie eased up for a spell in the third when the Witches snored one run. Griffin started the inning by clouting out a double. Kellers whiffed and then ‘'Shorty” Smith popped to •Okrie. Conalan walked and Butler Singled to deep center, sending Grif fin across the pan with the first marker for the league-lenders. In the fourth and fifth Innings Wichita got them around the sacks as far as second base, hut Okrie tight ened and retired the side before any damage was done. With one out and the bases loaded In the fifth. Blakes Icy poked a double out to right field. O'Connor made a good stop of the drive and whipped the ball to Apper son who relayed the pellet lo Catch er Hale just In time to catch Smith at the piste. This bit of work on the part of O'Connor, Apperson and Hale sort of toede the heart out of the Witches. With two gone and Butler on third and Blakesley on second, Mc Donald came to bat. He slammed the ball out to deep left. Here’s where “'Pug” Griffin made a swell catch. The Buffalo outfielder ran back to the fence and speared the drive which put an end to the Wichita rally and saved tthe visitor! from scoring. Buffaloes Score. Tiie Buffaloes counted in their half of the fifth when DeFate doubled to right and scored on a pair of sac rifices from the bats of McDonald and Bonowitz. Boss Konetchy’s overthrow of sec ond in the seventh inning helped Wichita to score its final tally of the same. After Sellers fanned. Smith walked. Conalan lined down to Konet chy and the Buffalo manager made a good stop of the drive, but in at tempting to complete a double play, he threw high over second base. But ler’s single scored Smith and then Biakesley grounded out. which ended Wichita's chances in that inning. The big frame for the herd whs the seventh. In this inning they scored three runs on four hits and a pair of errors. Apperson started with a single and went to second when DeFate got a one-bagger. During the excitement Catcher Griffin threw wild to first base and Apperson trot ted across the rubber with the fourth score, DeFate taking third and scor ing a minute later when Bonowitz singled. Griffin finally sonnected and Bonowitz went to third. Then came th prize play of the game. Bonowitz and Griffin worked a double steal, the former sliding home safe and Griffin going to second. Another error per mitted Griffin* to go to third and a fielder's choice put an end to the Omaha rally. The same teams play again this aft- i ernoon, starting at 3:30 o’clock.
