Omaha daily bee., 1888-07-29
Omaha @, Minneapolis 5.

We are getting there slowly.
Six straight victories ought to be good
enough for anybody.
Minneapolis came here yesterday flushed
with their three trlumphs over the brawny
Prohibitionists, and they went out to the
park in the afternoon determined to dangle
another scalp at their belts.
But Omaha still wears her curls. After a
hard and stubborn struggle she came out of
the fray one run the best of it.
There was a great crowd present and their
inspiriting applause contributed much to the
triumph.
Although Clarke was complaining of a
weak stomach, he went into the box and
| pitched a good game. He was hit hard at
times, but the magnificent work of the field
ers prevented much damage And then he
used his head when men were on bases
striking out no less than seven of them.
| Among these was Walsh twice and Patsey
Gall Tebeau once.
The umpiring of Joe Quest was q trifie off
color, but he is an old, tried and true ball
| player, conversant with every point in the
game, and will round to all right as soon as
he wears the rust of.
Maggie again caught without an error, and
welded tine willow with telling effect.
McGarr, too, hit like a giant every time he
went to bat. He knocked out four savage
liners, but each time was retired by marvel
Gus fl Gliding.
But you are dying to know how the day
was won.
Here goes.
In the first big Wilson, who played lief,
field instead of the Poet, and played it well,
too, was left on second. He got first on five
.,.la I'll, ,,l eAap,l ~, n ,Na,rnl hall hat
Annis, Crooks and O'Connell going out in
rapid 81 ccession of course he got no further,
1t was one, two three for Minneapolis.
The audience felt good: but nervous.
The first ball pitched in the second Omaha's
little shortstop bumped out into the left fol-
a base.
The people shouted Hey! hey! hey"
McGarr died on a cannon shot TO Jevne, but
Miller got his base on a tumble by Joe Walsh
who also threw over Hawos head, and
while Miller travelled on to second Cooney
gliued home.
Good boy, Cooney!n they cried from the
grand stand, and "dats de Stuff from the
bleaching boards.
Maggie came IN here with q single and
Daddy Clarke for "A cOrklng three Dagger
way out into deep center, and oh, my, how
the crowd did make the circumambient at
mosphere quaver as Miller and Nagle gal,
Hoped across the plate. Clarke soon fol
lONtu On NilSou OuL iTOlH fdtSey Sdl u
Halves.
That was brilliant hitting for you.
For the visitors robeau stepped up and,
before anyone could hardly see how it was
done, he knocked the sphere way ou'
among the left field carriages for {
home run. OF course he was applauded, bu'
the applause had q string to il. Rowe anC
Kreig were easily retired and McCullum wa.
declared out for striking out of time.
In the third O'Connell was given a life BY
an error of Brosnan's, but that was all the
innings amounted to. For the Flour CITY
crowd Halves got his base on balls, but, lik,
O'Connell, he too was left.
There was another lucky punching of hit
by the Omahas in the fourth, Maggie, Clarke
Wilson and Crooks all getting on to the bal
safely, and the result was two earned runs
We needed them, for after that, try az
hard as she might, Omaha could not scor,
again.
Minneapolis, however, began to get tn,
dust out of her visual organs, and in the fifth
sixth and seventh innings batted out fou
more runs, being facilitated by errors.
That's all they could do.
They exerted every muscle ant
sinew TO get in a run in the eighth and ninth
but it was a useless task. Daddy Clarke
forgot all about his enervated victuaiing de
partment and struck four of the last ST,
batters.
Tcbeau was the last one TO expire in thi
way, and as he made his last fatal, phrenzie,
slash, and Quest cried you're out, sir ~
great roar went up, and the 1000 people lef
the park feeling as good as II they had draw
q prize in the Louisiana lottery.
