BY Banging the Ball About
fer Six Runs in the Elev-
enth Inning.
The Other Games Taken Easily
by the Brooklyn and st.
Louis Teams.

Omaha neatly turned the tables yes
terday, and Minneapolis base ball stock
took slight tumble. The game, how
ever was not won by the Nebraskans on
its merits, the locals eXcelling at the bat
and earning two runs. Errors at critical
times gave the visitors even unearned
runs, and some of those errors could not
be charged to the cold weather. Either
careleSsness or a want of confidence in
the new pitchers was at the bottom of
the loose fielding, which was vastly
different from the sharp work of Ethe
preceding day. If it was the latter
cause, it was entirely without founda-
ton. Both Rehse and Parsons pitched
a strong game, and with perfect support
would have shut out the Omaha con-
tingent. RehSe is Minneapolis anna
teur, and, Of course, lacks experience
and judgment, but he swings deceptive
ball and was not easily found. Parsons,
the South paw International, is some
thing of contortionist, but he pitches
with precision and Judgment and fields
his position admirably. Jordan, the
new catcher, was unanimously voted a
trump, his work being admirable in
every way. He will become general
favOrite. Omaha put in Healey, who is
fine pitcher, but no phenomenon. He
was ably assisted by Wilson and by
Messett, another Omaha player, who
officated as umpire. Manager Barnes,
of st. Paul, as he noted one of MeSSett'S
rank decisions, said: Omaha gets
enough of that kind of favors at home,
without getting them here. You see
what little bad umpiring will do"
The story of the game may be briefly
told. 1t was cold, raw day, and the
500 spectators shivered through the eX-
hibition, while every hot ball struck the
benumbed fingers Of the players with an
icy crack. The batting was very light
and the fielding remarkably accurate,
Omaha being charged with but
two eXcusable fielding errors. Miller's
work at short was beautiful
and that OF Doran and Shannon highly
creditabIe. For Minneapolis Brosnan
covered second to perfection and Shaw
made several brilliant plays in the short
field, his errors being entirely eXcus-
able. Robinson's work, after his fine
fielding of Wednesday, was quite sur
prise and to his mutfS and juggles most
of the visitors runs were due. Jeyne's
catching and throwing and McCullom's
work elected much praise.
Omaha began scoring in the second
inning, Miller crossing the plate on a
base on balls, a wild pitch, Doran's hit
and two outs. In the third. bundle of
errors and O'Connell's scratch hit along
the left foul line, gave four more. A
wild throw and two mufTs gave one in
the fourth and hit and two wild pitches
gave the last in the fifth. Omaha then I!
had sufficient and quit. For eight inn |
ings Minneapolis failed to score, though |
hits were made and the bases occupied |
in every inning but one. In the ninth |
inning, with one man out, Brosnan led |

A Deacon's Emphasis.


DOStOH HefaIu.
In a certain church, on recent cold
Sunday, while the minister was deliv-
ering his sermon, the sexton thought
the fire in the furnace needed attention /;
so he went down into the cellar and
began to shake the fire and put ON coal.
The registers all being open, the sound
Of the raking and coaling came up very
plainly; so much so that one of the
deacons got up, marched down the aisle,
and down cellar.
What was the establishment of those
sitting near the register to bear come up:
''What in HI are yOu making such a
noise for and disturbing the congrega-
tion?"
The question now before the meeting
is the deacOn's name.
