Omaha daily bee., 1888-09-03
Omaha Z, Davenport s.

For the first time this season the Omahas
took the field instead Of the bat, In the open
ing innings.
They were determined the Babies shouldn't
hop onto them in the last innings again, un-
less they had a chance to get back at them.
They had dose of that yesterday.
AS it was, they came within hairs breadth
of being skinned again.
Only little piece of inesse adroitly exc
cuted by Pastey Tebeau saved their bacon.
1t was all right, though. Patsey is on our
% aide you know; ,;o,so. II n,,oI. he had ,s been
roasting he would have received.
But it makes all the difference in the world
whose OK is gored. Don't it.
II was q hot struggle, and yet not an ex-
citing or enthusiastic one. There was a good
deal of hitting but the fielding was quiet,
sharp and brilliant, and while the spectators
were not noisy they kept on the ragged edge
of anxiety.
But everything is lovely. The Omahas
won
In the opening innings the Infants went
out in one. two, three order
But the Omahas didn't.
The Poet agitated the circumambient at
mosphere in a striking manner three times in
succession, and went back to reclne on the
bench.
Billy Annis was luckier.
On an amateurish blunder of the long
draWn-out astrological specimen who holds
watch and guard over first for Davenport, he
gallOped round to second before he could be
induced to stop.
Then Br'er Fox Crooks comes along and
he smacks Mr.. Klopf for three bags before
that giddy younster could realize what was
gong on. OF course Annis came home.
That coy bird, the Chppey next hopped.oH
his perch and walking up to the plate he
laced out one of his characteristic liners over
short.
This brought Crooks in. Then Mac stole
second, took third on u passed ball, and a
moment later Tailed on another one.
BY the way, Mr. Meyer, as a backstop, is
not gittering success. However, he's
some pumpkins with the club, as both
Clarke and Loyett can attest.
That was three runs in, and a ripple of
hand-clapping ran tbropsh the grand stand.
After Chippey had SEQ red Tebeau flied out
to Deegan, Cooney got his base on balls, but
O'Connell brought matters to close by
being extinguished by Forster and Nc
Gauley.
Another score was made IN the third.
After Annis had fouled out to Meyer,
Crooks got his base on balls, he stole second,
went to third on passed ball and ran home
on McGarrs second GOrker to left
The Chppey stole second, then third, and
the people cheered spasmodically. They
acted just as il they wanted to be paid for
yelling. But there was one thing Mac
couldn't steal, and that was home. But he
Cooney hadn't gone out so quickly.
In the fifth the Babies managed to squeeze
In one little pearly run.
After Dorap had been done for, Klopf was
given u life, in fact second base, on an error
by Burns-a muf of his short fly after a des
perate run.
Snyder then retired on pop up to O'Con
nell, t'orster's safe hit sent Klopf home
Forster getting clear around to third or
Burns return of the ball to catch Klopf.
lnOment lattSr Forster silly attemut II
steal home, was caught by Clarke and he anC
Nagle ran him down.
The home team did not help their caus,
any i'll their half.
That run had done the Babies power OF
good, ana they came in for the sixth full OF
hope and enthusiasm. They pranced around
like lot of yearling colts at the fair.
McCauley, the first man at bat raped ou
three Dagger and Meyer a home run!
This was too much, and the grand stant
broke forth in one wild, untethered cheer
and they kept it up, for Deegan made u hi
and stole second, and so did McCullom.
Do you wonder that the people broke loose
from their lehargic state 1t is so pleasant
you know to see the under dog crowd on top
But the crowd hardly expected what wa
TO follow.
1t was then Clarke made dub play in try
ing to stop Doran's little fungo and as i
went skipping on out among the clover stub
BE IN right field, both Deegan and McCullon
reached the plate.
The yelling and enthusiasm was just a
loud as IL Omaha had done the work.
Klopf flew out to CoOney, but Snyder fo
lowed with the fifth safe hit of the inning
Doran essayed to score on the play but wa
caught by sharp, quick throw of Crooks.
The inning ended by Fisher flying out t
P.O.
This made the Omahas just as mad as hon
nets, and March hares and wet hens, an
they came in for their half with their visus
organs fairly brimming over with life
fluid.
The Chippey whanged out three base
and Patsey Oliver one for two He too
thbd d on a passed ball. Cooney then made
hit, Patsey coming home Cooney the
stole second and took third on
passed ball. p. o. then banged tn
Meyer had another passed ball and Coone
came home and P o, went to third. But
was left, for Nage, Clarke and the Pot
were retired as rapidly as they came up.
Those were the last runs scored in tn
game, though the Babies came eAcrucia
fngly close TO winning in their half of IL
ninth, after two hands were out,
II was about like this;
Doran went out on foul tip, then Klol
perished at first but Snyder got his base
balls, and Forster made n hit
Everybody held their breath when Fisht
hit high ball that sailed up beautifully au
out towards left just over Cooney's head
Coonsy ran for it heroieally, but |
bounded of toward the Poet.
OF course all this time Snyder and Foste
were tearing away for home, and they woul
have got there too, but Patsey Oliver, in 81
deavoring TO get out of Snyder's way so
would have clear sailing TO the coveted gol
got right in. He was blocked for n momen
but the next was off again. Amidst Il
shouts OF the people he reached the plate
but the ball awaited him. The wIld-eyt
Poet had thrown hlm out by shave as til
as @ railroad sandwich
The Official score:
OMAHA,
AB. X. Il. sB 70. A.
