OKLAHOMA CITY 3, AUSTIN 2.
Austin. Texas, May 9 - (Special.)~
Solid Ivory was the distinguishing char-
acterlatic of Monday's game with the
Mets, and It waa due to the SiJld ivory
top-piece work by Mr. Savelan 1. the noted
home athlete, that Austin lost the lash
with the gentlemen from Oklahoma City.
The Ntaitllng exhibition of bone-hend-
•Uneas nine In the ninth frame, when
the right fielder of the home noys tripled
to rlghtfleld and then stood like u
wooden Indian < n third while Noyes
.lag a hall from beneath the grandstand.
There was no reason for Saveland not
scoring the run that would have won
the game for Hears bunch of willing
workers. However, the player chose to
watch proceeding* rather than run **
distance of 9ft feet to the home plate.
Take it from one of the most
enthusiast!) supporters that Austin
has. the Mets have some team. re-
gardless of what the players have
done at other cities around the
Texas league circuit, yesterday they
showed that they are really ball players.
This Is particularly true of Kuppan and
White. Thoae who guard the outer gar-
dens worked finely all through yester-
day's game and stabbed anything like
a rhance that came their way. Austin
showed with Ita new outfielder. Pennell,
secured Sunday from Fort Worth, and
thin athlete Is th« goods He did not,
to be sure, have any chance to show
today, but the home lot boys are bunk-
ing on him, and he la bound to deliver
the goods whenever Manager Clear calls
on him for an extra effort.
Outside of what you have Already
read, here's Rome facts anout today's
game. The nothing doing sign was fly-
In* prominently to the breeze ou the
home lot thla afternoon until the third
frame when Cook walked and was
brought on In home with the firBt run
of the game, when Gardner ripped off
a stinging double to t enter. The home
boys tallied again In the fifth on a brace
n< Mngles hv <5. Smith and Cook. G.
Smith accomplishl"- the feat of cross-
ing the oyster. That was two.

plished by McDonald lie advanced a
short distance when Noyes hit safely to

VICTORY WAS FLUKE
Hard to Realize that Fire-
man Could Win so Eas-
ily from Kaufman.
(By TAD)
New York, May 'J Jim Flynn's win
over Al Kaufman the other night tn
Kansas City, Is the talk of the sporting
world, hut Jim will have to show more
Spee.l than that before he will be even
mentioned as an opponent for the colored
champion, Johnson
Jim's knockout over Kaufman was such
a surprise that many still believe that btg
Al was double crossed In the deal. Kauf-
man had already knocked Flynn out. in
nine rounds «t Los Angeles h few years
ago, and this bout looked so far "In"
mat there wasn't a bet recorded here in
New York.
It doesn't matter much now, however,
whether Jim Is the real goo Is or not so
he has knocked out Al Kaufman, the
best big white heavyweight In the world
today.
And that alone Is gome trick.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien la the only
other man who ever performed siich a
feat at that time, big Al was a mere
stripling.
Flynn Will grab many a bucket of dough
before the public forgets his flpht with
Kaufman.

League Park Tuesday afternoon, and as
tlds Is the day of tl>« first Invasion or

afforded on the comparative strength of
tho team* of the different sections.
It can be said, however, with a good
deal of truth, as well as the Tightness,
that the Glarts will be obliged to play
n good ileal more with their heads than
they did yesterday In Boston to make the ,
Cubs back up, or any other Western team
for that matter.
It Is expected that Mutthewson Will he '
trotted out uaalnst the Cubs Tuesday
afternoon, Matty has done nothing \\>ry
wonderful thus far this season. Ho la
using Ids head Just,as much as ever, but !
there are some w'm think his arm Is not i
what It was. There Is Just a chance that '
those two old rivals, Matty and Minor j
Brown. wl|| hook up. If tho weather bo |
good there will be an enormous crowd on
tho hill top to welcome the Invader®.
