1T WAS EXCITING,
Though 1t Could Not Be Clessed
as a Pretty Game

StS d ICIGJ
Thata base ball game is not settled un-
til the last man is out was never more
clearly demonstrated than on yesterday
afternoon, when the local team opened
the ninth inning with the score II to
in Omaha's favor, and closed it with
the score IA to II in st. Paul's favor.
The contest was a remarkable one, dis
gust and delight following each other
from inning to inning in rapid success
sion. The home team put its bad work
together in the fifth and seventh inn
ings, and Omaha did its rocky play
ing in the sixth. For four innings
neither team made a Semblance of
hit, and neither scored for three. In
the fourth inning Willis took first on
bad balls, stole second, went to
third on Strauss sacrifice and tai
lied on Farmers high throw to
catch him at third. St. Paul began run
getting in the fifth. Miller and DAILY
made hits, the latter being thrown out
on felder's choice, Farmer taking first
and stealing second. Tuckerman got
Miller and Farmer scored. Omaha got
three in the last half of the inning on
hits by Andrews, Canavan and Willis,
and bad fielding by Reilly and Miller.
Nichols gave Murphy base on balls to
start the sixth. Cleveland threw Reil-
ly'S grounder Into the bleachers, and
Werrick's hit to left cleared the bases.
Carroll was hit in the back and took a
base. Nichols threw to first to catch
him and Andrews dropped the ball, and
instead of getting 1t sat down on Car
roll and held him until he could get the
ball and touch him out. Briody saw
this dirty work, but called Carroll out.
The decision was outrageous, but Briody
insisted and st. Paul was beaten out of
at least two runs. Here is a good place
to remark that Briody has given Omaha
the best of
EVERY CLOSE DECISION
since he has been here, and to his par
tiality more than any other one thing is
due the defeat of ST. Paul on Thursday.
During the scramble at first referred to
above Andrews struck Carroll blow in
the eye, which swelled to such an ex-
rent that the little right fielder had to
retire from the game, Broughton taking
his place. Miller struck out and DAILY
got life on Cleveland'S third error,
Werrick scoring. Daily stole base and
Farmers hit sent him over the rubber.
The locals added a run in the seventh,
making the score to in their favor,
but Omaha secured long lead in the
last half on singles by Nichols and
Willis, home run by Cleveland, an
error by Tuckerman, a base on balls to
Crooks, hit by CoOney and an error by
Werrick in failing to complete double
play. st. Paul came within one of ty-
Ing the game in the eighth, but Omaha
rallied, and made the score II to s
against the locals. When Murphy went
to bat in the ninth, the crowd began to
file out of the grand stand in
the belief that the game was
about to end in the Nebraskans
favor. The steady center fielder
hit the ball out of Crooks reach, and
foul line. Werrick came up with
section of wagon tongue at this point,
and smashed the second ball pitched
far over the right field fence. The
score was tied, but the crowd was so
dazed by the sudden turn of good
fortune that it didn't know how to ap-
plaud. Broughton secured a sack on
Walsh's bad throw, but he and Miller
were doubled up on the latter's
grounder to third. DAILY took a base
on bad balls and stole second, and
Farmer was hit by Nichols. Tucker
man added score with good hit to
right, Halves spanked the ball against
the right field fence and Murphy made
his second hit for the inning, bringing
the score up to fourteen. The last half
OF the inning was quickly played, only
one man reaching first. The prettest
piece of work of the game was a phe-
nomenal catch by Broughton of An
drews' high fly. Daily also made
great catch at left. and the second
base playing of Werrick was excellent.
The score.
