1T WAS THREE TO ONE.
The Young Men From Nebraska
TrOunced

Tho contest yesterday afternoon be-
tween st. Paul and Omaha was one of
the prettiest ever seen here, and it is
pity that it was not witnessed by more
people. TIE batteries were Sowders
and Kemmler and Clarke and Wilson.
In the early innings of the game the Ne
braSka twirler had the best of it, but st.
Paul got hits enough in the seventh
and eighth innings to win. SowderS
was not hit at all for three innings, but
i'll the fourth Annis, Crooks, Tebeau
and COoney made singles. Only one of
them scored, however. Murphy opened
the game by pounding the ball out along
the right foul line. 1t was going so fast
that Nagle couldn't stop it, and
it struck his leg, bounding off to-
ward the bleaching boards. Murphy,
made two bases, but he Overran second
and Cooney touched him out. Carroll
followed with clean drive to left and
MOrriSSy hit to Tebeau, who caught
Carroll at second, but Crooks threw wild
to catch Morrissy and the runner got to
second. Pickett then struck out. For
Omaha Burns took a base on balls and
ran to third on Crooks out, but was
not advanced. The only incident of the
next two innings was fine catch of
fly by Patton. In the first half of the
fourth Crooks made great catch of
Pickett's fly, both Annis and Miller
running into him. but he held the ball
firmly. Tebeau also made great stop
and throw in this inning. AnniS opened
the last half with hit to center, and
when he started to steal second Kemm-
Ter fired the ball out to center field, the
runner racing around to third. whence
he scored on Crooks hit. Two other
fnlInNNnl Inn
ductive of runs. Carroll got under Will
sons fly in the fifth i'll fine shape, and
tie next two men went out i'll order.
IT WAS RAINING
and it looked as though the game must
be awarded to the visitors. Play was
not interfered with, however, and st.
Paul went out one, two, three in the
sixth. Pickett took Annis' grounder
neatly, but he fumbled that of Crooks.
The latter started for second
trItie too soon and SowderS got the ball
to Corbett ahead of him. Nagle made
hit and Tebeau got life on Reilly's
tumble. CoOney sent the ball straight
to Corbett. who nipped Tebeau. Pick
EFT opened the seventh by going out
from second to first. Patton hit
him to take. second on
plate with a section of wagon tongue"
He swiped at the ball vlciously twice
without touching it. Clarke then
pitched one SO close to him that it hit
his bat. Down went the stick and his
hand went up to his mouth. This was
a play at Quest for base on being
hit, but it didn't go, and right
here the game was won. Clarke
pitched him a good ball, waist high.
there was resOunding thwack, and the
sphere went sailing to frogland outside
the wall, two runs being the result.
After two men were out in the eighth,
Carroll hit to center, got around
to third on passed ball and
scored on Morrissy'S single. The Ne
braskans played hard to overcome this
lead, but were able to get but one man
on base i'll the eighth and ninth. In
the last half of the ninth Corbett made
a great catch of Cooney's hard fly. The
visitors kicked pretty hard at some of
Quests decisions, which, however, were
correct except as to few balls and
strikes. The score follows:
