SENATOR FORAKER OF
V
HIGGINBOTHAM HAH THE
BOTTOM TO GO 15 FRAMES
Leu’a Browns and the Tulsa Produc-
ers Tie I'p 8 and 2, and the Game
Was Called on Account
of Darkness.
Sherman nnd Tulsa battled for fif-
teen tunings yesterday and at the end
of the time Umpire Roth ctlled the
game on account of darkness with the
score standing 3 and 2. It was a bat-
tle royal from start, to finish and had
all tile thrills and chunges that go to
make up a good hall game. Klontz
tolled on the mound for eight and a
third Inings for the Producers and
just before Patterson tied the count
for Sherman was jerked for Poison.
Higginbotham worked all fifteen in-
nings for the locals.
Klontz had the best of the nrgu-
meut from Hie first nnd let the Browns
down with three liils, while Poison,
who relieved him, allowed four. Roth
runs were scored off Klontz, however.
Tulsa gleaned n total of thirteen
safeties. These were scattered, how-
ever, and with good support Higgin-
botham | ml led out of a number of had
looking holes. Both teams played good
defensive.
The Producers .counted first in (lie
fifth. Dowie hit safe, followed h.v
Klontz, who sacrificed, McKniglit
singled and Dowie scored on a sacrifice
by Brady. Oliliu flew out.
The Browns tied the count In the
same Inning. Bieloper nnd Mackey
singled, placing Rieloi>er on third.
Mackey started to steal second nnd
Dowie |R*gged to center field lo catch
him, Bleloper scoring on tlio overt
t brow.
Tulsa bunched three hits nnd a sac-
rifice and again counted In the ninth.
Wooley singled. Richter sacrificed and
Fairchild and Dowie singled, Wooley
scoring.
Higginbotham tied tip the game for
Sherman in the ninth with a single on
which Patterson scored, having .hit
safely, ttdvanced on Bleloper's sacrifice
and stolen third. Klontz was dor-
ricked just after Patterson stole.
In the fourteenth Higginbotham
startl'd out to win his game with a
scorching drive to right. He was re-
tired, however, attempting to stretch
the hit to a triple.
The score follows:

For Itching Scalp
You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means—no hair,
it Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
jtemo for 25c or $1.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. It kills the dandruff
germ, nourishes the hair roots and im-
, mediately stops itching scalp, It is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid, is not
greasy, is easy to use and will not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alkali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for it
is safe and atso inexpensive.

Papers were signed last night by
President Bell of the Western Asso-
ciation ratifying the transfer of;the
Purls franchise to Ardmore. Work *s
being rushed oil the new hall park at
that city so that lt^wlll be ready when
Pete Kildttff, former Oklahoma City
shortstop, lias appeared regularly in
the New York line-up for the past
two weeks each' day.
Catcher, Wilson White, who was
with MeAlester lust season, has been
sotd by the St. Louis Browns to Wichi-
ta of the Western League.
Shortstop Turner has been set adrift
by Muskogee.
A, I). Green, writing to the Sport-
ing News from Fort Worth, lias the
following to say of three players sent
hack to tills circuit by that team and
is of esjiocial Interest to the fans of
Fort Smith and Van Buren as two of
them are Twins; “To get within the
TexilL league player limit. Business
Manager La Grave of the Panthers has
sent Thompson and Countryman to
MeAlester of the Western Association,
and Ada ms has been .returned to Fort
Smith of the same league. Adams and
Thompson, the two recruits sent back
for further seasoning,, are both flasl#
fie lders but neither showed a tenden-
cy to bit anywhere near the Texas
league standard. . Several games tlmt
have gone into the lost column would
have Imsmi won had a Hit been forth-
coming from either. There is no
doubt that Adams would have made
good, had lie been off to a good
start; but things broke badly for him
in his hitting and It became so that
It was really pitiful* to see his futile
efforts at meeting the ball. Country-
man's sale to MeAlester comes as a
surprise. The Houston boy pitched
the- few starts Ik
*n*de. He was not given the opisirtu
ntiy of iK-ginnlug a game, but be fin-
ished several after some other hurler
hud liecn driven from the hill and al-
ways did I tetter wGrk than his prede*
ceasor.—Fbtt Smith Times-Bn-ord.
When Bc4> Dowie was turned back
by Chattanooga lie liecame the prop-
erty of tbe local baseball dull. But
E. M. Innicnn and Manager. Murray,
ufter wilt tiling "Chief New u si it* and
"Mike" Watson perform, couldn't see
Boli. All of Which elicited consider-
able surprise for the fans. But to
these few brave martyrs who faced
the cutting wind ami drizzling rain to
olteeive yesterday afternoon's pastime
there suddenly came a light. While
the youthful Alike was hack of the
platter, catching a great gnme, getting
seven putouts and six assists, scoring
four runs and getting five lilts out
of five times to the (date. one of
them a home run, ami totaling ten
bases, Dowie was catching the same
game which he displayed for Hie Ok
tehonia City fans for three years,
good receiver and thrower, and that's
all. itowie isn't a hitter. There is no
getting away from that. Although he
•went great for Tulsa for u few days
and slammed the Hull ail over the lot.
ho is now dropping hack to his natural
strata of mediocrity, where iie will
doubtless always remain. On the oth-
er hand, Watson is hitting 1 letter ev-
ery day. His iiert.irmance today
boosted liis mark front .429 to .441.
nnd his clean, healthy swipe at the
hall and almost faultless hutting style
gives assurance that he will continue
to Is* a terror to the opi>osiiig pitchers.
And while Watson, grubbing his
ehuneo when “Chief Newashe was
Injured, is going at such a speetacu-
lar pace, Newashe Is Inking Ills time
and allowing his Injured knee to mend
fully before entering the game, there
being no occasion for u rush with the
remarkable performance of “Mike."
With Newnshe am) Watson in the
game, Murray's catching staff will
not. Is* forced to how to any In the
league during the season. Dowie
might have been a gk-eat favorite by
Ids reoctvtnif and throwing ability, but
catcher Hint combines nil of these
with the slugging ability of Wfttsou Is
just that much ahead.—Dally Okla-
homan.
Evidently the Oklahoman sport
writer thinks Col. liunean has THE

Z.ack" Wheat Is the first of the
hall players who has made a dent In
tlie high cost of living by hitting the
bull, Ailer all absence of three years
the big Bull advertising signs have
made (heir appearance In most of the
parks where organized baseball is
played, hut In (lie Western association
there are only one at tlio
.Stadium and two others. As there
is a prize of $50 cash to any player
hitting the sign with a fairly halted
fly hall in a championship game, there
lias been a great interest displayed by
the visiting players and a desire that
more of the games be played in Fort
Smith. The Baris hunch was the first
lo visit here after the sign was put
up and to a man tHey asked for full
particulars of. the manner in which
they could increase their batik ac-
counts. That Is one of the reasons
that alt of the players are trying to
hit the hall between Hyder Barr and
Chief Robison ami over their heads.
Zack Wheat, the Indian outfielder of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, is the first to
have lilt the Bull, having performed
that feat at Philadelphia on April

fer of the franchise lo Ardmore
would materially strengthen the asxo-

have expressed Hn-ioselves likewise.
Tite fan who didn't get his money's
worth yesterday Isn't much of a fan.
Hlgginh.itlyiiu tied up his own game
In Hu* ninth inning yesterday with

counted. lit the fourteenth Higg.v
started in to win his game by lining
(Hit a long one to right. Half way lie
tween first and second he stopissl and
watched the hull, then continued on to
third and was retlrml there on a re-
layed throw. He is i-mllted with
double.
Tin* Jew handled twenty-one chances
yesterday in the fifteen inning battle
W ithout miscue on a single one. Hugh-
es. however, Is credited with an error
on a short throw to the initial station,
which Heilman at first grubbed then
dropped.
Bieloper blossomed forth as a sac-
rifice hitter yesterday, laying down
two beauties on which runners ad-
vanced.
Today's game winds up the series
with Hie Producers and Hie home stay
for tlio Browns. Heilman, takes his
team to Fort Smith tomorrow and from
there to Muskogee. The first “world's
serious" of (lie season will lie pulled
off In Denison following the Muskogee
mix up. Sherman returns homo on May
22 with' Fort Smith.
The fan tlmt Is missing (he games
these days Is missing some of tlu* best"
hall playing ever seen on the local lot
and Hie fact tlmt Tulsa and Sherman
are hovering near the foot of the lad-
der is no sign Hint they put out *i
town-hall brand of the national game.
In fuel, these teams are among the two
best teams in the circuit and future
events will show, unless the race re-
mains in Its present close condition
through the whole season. There is
less than seven games difference be-
tween tlu* leaders and the tail emlers
and Sherman is five and a half games
from liennant position. The team
can’t win. however, without the moral
and (imincial support of every loyal
fan in the city and your presence is
desired, needed and urged at Lyon
Park every day there is a hall game
there. Don't forget, this afternoon, 1
o’clock.

of six from the Sherman last placers,
but all the games were at MeAlester,
And Heilman's crew are not to lie

tlmt is.-—MeAlester News-Capital.

The MeAlester News-Capital s|x>rt
writer laid the following after the
series with the Browns at Lyon Park:
“Patterson, wtio knocked two home
runs over tlm rigid, field barrier in
succession off Johnson when Sher-
man was here last, batted in three of
tlm runs for them yesterday. Also he
swiped three bases, AND bundled sev-
en chances in the field without a
spill. Rotten,urotfe.il!” i ,
“J. Gross’ aptitude to forget the
base runners loomed up fearfully yes-
terday. Six bases were swiped and
Mackey, Who rthis fast like turtles,
was one of tlie thieves.”
"Umpire Roth's work was woozy.
He was argfiying with the players all
through the game. He wislusl a $5
assessment on Ross Humphries yester-
day, and fired him and Philips out of
Hie game,”
According to statements of some
of tite fans, tlm ungenttemanly spirit
shown by tlie Muskogee players'while
here nnd which terminated in several
of them jumping on to Umpire
Healy, was duet, to large sized bets
tlmt Muskogee people hung upon each
game of the series. It wqs nqiorted
lust Sunday at Arkema that “the big-
gest fan' in Muskogee" lmd conic to
Fort Smith for the purpose of “clean-
ing up” on tin* series and that ho had
$600 to bet. Tills man was pointed
out frequently to the fans at tlm Sun-

sum on* tlie Sunday game nnd re-
peated on Monday, leaving for Mus-
kogee Monday night ami wiring tniek
$150 to1 bet (Si the Tuesday game, tlie
money being posted at a well known
business house where many fans
“hang out." On Monday it was re-

additional sum. Said a well known
fan who likes to bet a dollar or two
With a friend occasionally for the fun
of Ihe tiling and not for profit: "If
the game has gotten to lie a gambling
proiamitlon, with the directors of the
team cutting it for big iiets, the club
might as well disband, as Fort Smith
does not intend supporting such a dis-
graceful affair.” It is now up to Pres-
ident Bell at Paris, to make the full-
est investigation of the matter nnd
act accordingly. So far us Devereaux
is concerned he ought to be susiiended
for tlie rest of the year and the other
Muskogee players who were guilty In
Tuesday’s affair should tie severely
fined. It was tlie most disgusting
affulr ever seen in this city.—Fort

A message from President J. W.
Bell of (lie Western association ad-
vises that Pat Devereaux, first bats-
man of tlie Muskogee dull, lias been
fined $5ft and indefinitely sas|ieuded
for his brutal assault upon Umpire
Ilcaley at .Muskogee Tuesday, an indi-
cation tlmt President Bell as they
should lie dealt with. Devereaux's as-
sault upon Healey, who is a much
smaller maii physically, was one of
tlie Western Association's blgcy eye*,
and the president cannot be too harsh
in his dealings With the assailant. It is
generally acknowledged among thu
D leagues that It 1* necessary to eoun-
tenuni e such action, on account of the
salary and player limit, to overlook
actions of that character altogether
or pass them bjt.with a fine and no
suspension. But President Bell's ac-
tion is sufficient evidence tlmt tha
Western association will break some
rules, and refuse to. tolerate rowdyism
of a violent character from the player,
regardless of Ids value for Hie league
or the club. Tlie value of President
Bell's dealing now lies with the
.Muskogee .club, Devereaux’s employers.
If they dig down into the club treas-
ury and produce the fine for the
player, the lesson wilt lose It value
nnd only encourage further assaults
or rowdyism. If they allow Devereaux
to pay his own fine and lift hlmsett
out of tite plight, tlie value of the
proxy's ruling will lie full. There is
no room for rowdyism iu the big
leagues and tlie club owners, fang or
league officials refuse to countenance
it. If the big leagues can find no room
for roughneck tactics on the diamond,
there remains little ground for the
D’s to permit it. President Beil has
started the sentiment in the right di-
rection; It’s now up to Hie oli'il.. owners
and managers to snpph the league
with the chins of baseball that otket)
the game the:great, .-port it is lotlaj.-s
