Sioux CRY, Ia, May Special Tele-
gram to TUE BEE l-The White Socks smote
the Corn Huskers hip and thigh in to-day's
game. Three thousand people fiocked to the
grounds to see the Corn Huskers wreak
retribution for yesterdays defeat, but they
could only sigh for two mortal hours, while
the visitors rubbed double dyed humiliation
into the losers. Up to the seventh inning 1t
was not contest on the part Of the latter, 80
much TO win the game as to escape being
shut out; and it was q narrow escape. They
could not penetrate Clarke's mysteries, and
and futile. Hardly anybody beyond
the infield had anything to do,
and most of the locals were easily cut off at
got as far as second base. The sole run was
scored in the seventh inning.
After Glenn had been cut Off at first,
Powell got first on balls and took third on
Genins' hit to right field. .Genins made q
bold run for second base and succeeded in
so interesting Andrews and Crooks that
Powell got home. Then Brosnan flew out
- right field
6x Sar as the Corn Huslsers are concerned
as to the rest of the game, it is one murder
Gus story of weak taps neatly helued to first
base, only varied by strike outs. On the
other hand, the visitors played even a more
vigorous game than yesterday, slugging the
ball all over the field for base hits. Crooks
distinguished himself by making two clean
home runs, for which he received the
hearty plaudits of the crowd. They were
aided by the errors and awkward work Of
the locals But they earned the game hon.
estly and clearly overpowered their oppo-
nents.
In the first inning Messitt got his base on
balls stole second and went on to third on
Hellman's wild throw over second He
scored on Cleveland's hit to Brosnan, who
retired the batter at first Strauss secured
his base on fly to Glenn, which was diff
cult to field. He stole second. Crooks got
10 first, and Strauss went to third and Tailed
on Cooney's two-bagger to center field.
In the next innings the visitors, Dy hard
hitting, knocked out q run in each,
but when it came to the fifth
.nnIng it looked as If they would keep on
scoring till dark. Crooks opened with
swipe to right field for two bags. Cooney
then took first base on Bradley tumble, ond
Andrews safe hit scored Crooks and Cooney.
Canavan got first on Cline's redolent FUN
BILE. Andrews scored on Clarke's hard hit to
center field, and Messitt's two-base hit
brought Canavau home, and Clarke and Mes
slit scored on Cleveland's safe hit
just when it seemed the slaughter would
never stop, double play retired Cleveland
and Strauss The latter made a sharp hit,
which Cline threw to second, then passed to
first In time to catch the batter This double
play was the only relieving feature Of
the work OF the Corn Huskers. The
run IN the sixth inning was Crooks nome
run on magnificent effort, which lifted the
ball far beyond tire fence.
The locals are badly crippled by Burke's
Illness, and as he can not go into the field for
at least week, they stand little show at St.
Paul. 1t looks now as if they would go down
to fourth place before they get home. OF
the total of twenty bases on hits made by the
visitors, Crooks made twelve.
