OMAHA TROUNCED.
Minneapolis Has Plenty Of Fun
With Young MIR. Clarke.

Nearly 5000 people, including 200 la
dies, witnessed the ball game yesterday,
and saw Minneapolis bowl Omaha over
too easily. For five innings it was quite
an interesting game and seemed any,
bOdy'S victory, but after that the Mime
opolis sluggers had sized up Clarke's
drops and curves and pasted the ball
about at will Before the game ended
sixteen clean hits nad been piled up,
while Burns and AnniS had worn them
selves out pulling down flies they could
not reach and chasing others they could
not get to. After long vacation Klopf
appeared in the box again and declared
his arm was well. His speedy delivery
aid not appear, but he affected
slow curve which proved more
puzzling. With any kind of
support Omaha would have been
shut out, though the home team
put up strong game with the eXcep-
tion of one inning. Klopf was also
little wild, and sent three men to first,
one OF them afterward crossing the
plate. Dunlap" Hawes seemed to find
Clarke'S delivery about to his taste, and
pounded ont four long singles, though
safe, except KlOpf, whose hits were all
long flies. Klopf only allowed only
two consecutive hits to be made, and
the inning yielded no runs,a fine double
play coming in very nicely.

onG inning. Lovett missed the ball
three times, but Kreig did not hold the
third, and the pitcher got first and stole

play In the sixth Lovett went
out to Hawes, and Burns hit a
