Witches' Chances to Win Out
Final Game of Series on Tap at Fifteenth and Vinton Street
Park This Afternoon—Lee Slated to Hurl for
Herd—Musser May Take Mound
for Visitors.
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.

Battle—Final Score
7 to 3.
_
New York, April 26.—The New
York Nationals opened their home
season here today with a hard fought
victory, 7 to 3, over the Boston club.
The game was a freakish affair and
full of unusual Incidents. Boston
: made only one fluke bit off Nehf and
Ryan, a bounder by Boecker through
Groh's legs in the fourth inning. All
three Boston runs resulted from er
rors.
Marquard was backed with remark
able support, five double plays being
made behind him. His club led until
two were out in the eighth, when New
York started a rally In which the
Giants bunched six hits for 10 bases
and scored six runs. First Baseman
Kelly of New York handled 21 put
outs.
Mayor John F. Hylan threw out j
the first ball, while the gam# was
preceded by the usual parade and
flag raising. Before the game Com
missioner Landing presented diamond
rings to all the New York rlavers. j
trophies of their world's championship
victory of last Octol^r. Umpire
Barry McCormick, one of the officials
of the last world's series, was pre
sented with a diamond studded
watch fob, a world's seriea souvenir.
Before the flag raising the crowd
called on Commissioner Landis to
bring Christy Mathewson. the new
Boston president, to the plate. Landis
escorted Mathewson from hi* box
near ths Boston dugout and the
former New York idol w as tendered I
one of the greatest ovations ever
given a New York player. Score:
