Des Moines Z, Omaha 4.

Dies MoiNEs, Ia, Sept. 12.-[Special Tele-
gram to TuE BEE. Not a great deal can be
said about the game between the Des MONIES
aud Omaha teams TO -day except that like yes
terday it was q very one sided affair. Lovett
was in the box for the visitors and was not
much Of o puzzle for the heavy batters OF
the home team. He was well supported by
Maggie, but his support in the field was poor.
Dcs Moines remembered his pitching in a
former series when Clark was umpire ana
Omaha won the game, so when Lovett went
into the box he was called down on his pc
culiar style of delivery, and that gone he
seemed to be shorn of his wonted strength.
In the first inning Holiday went first to bat
and was given a base on balls. Shafer came
next and raped out a three-bagger, which
was quickly followed by singles
by Stearns and Macullar; Al,
O'Connell and Van Dyke got a single. Phelan
struck out, but Smith got u lift on an error
of Crooks and Trafiiey flew out to CooneS;
This retired the side after five men had
crossed the plate and the visitors came 10
bat. Burns struck out and McGdNr got a
base on balls, stole second, went TO thlrd on
a wild throw of Smith to Phelan and scored
on u wild pitch. Crooks went out to first
and Cooney from second to first.
In the second inning the Bug tanned
wind thrice. The Old Man got FIRST on an
error of Tebeau aud went out on trying to
reach third on Stearns' single, and Macullar
struck out. For the visitors O'Connel and
Annis struck out and Tebcau went out on q
foul tip.
In the third the locals failed to reach first
and the visitors only got to first on an error
of Alvord.
In the fourth Smith few out to Cooney,
Traflley was given a base on balls, stole sec
ond and scored on an error of Lovett, while

beau. The visitors went out III one, TWO,
three order.

cullar sawed the air, Alvord got a hat but

choice and Smith retired the side from Crooks
to O'Connell. The visitors repeated their
performance of the three previous innings.
In the eighth the locals were retired in order
while the visitors only got one man TO nrst
on an error of Alvord.
The ninth inning was barren of results for
the home team and it looked as if the visitors
would not get Il single hit OF smith during
the entire game. Nagle struck out and
Burns came to bat. He made a terrific
lunge at the dcceiving sphere and it came in
contact with his willow and sailed away into
right field. II looked like a home run for q
minute but the felders were too nimbIe and
he was compelled to stop on third, where he
died by McGarr's strike out and Crooks
short hit to Smith, who threw him out at
first. The score:
