SIOUX CITY, To-. June 17.-Twice shut
out in two days. That is the record the
Cornhuskers, who by their good work
before they left home on their recent
trip reached second place, have made
for themselves. Yesterdays double de-
feat by Des MoineS was cruSher, but
when it came to standing three in
row, it is crusher to Sioux enthusiasm.
Everybody expected that Sioux City
would win at least one of Sundays
games, and they were equally certain
that it would take right lively race to
save defeat from the leaders to-day,
but they were not quite prepared for
three such exhibitions. To-day'S drub-
bling was the worst the home team
has yet received. and it was apparent to
the small number present that the boys
were loosing their grip on the wagon
tongue and that Flanagan was not so
far above the average pitcher after all.
The fielding of the locals was good, but
that of st. Paul was better. At the
start Flanagan pitched pretty good
ball but after the fourth inning it was
all the other way and the Apostles
pounded him at will. Flanagan opened
up by good throws to first where
he caught Murphy and Halves
off their guard after sending
them there on called balls. There was
no batting done by either side until the
fourth inning, when Carroll led out
with a hot liner to right. This was
followed up by Reilly and Werrick with
singles and DAILY with double Dagger,
the
COMBINED WORK
giving the visitors three runs. each of
which was earned. In the fifth inning
Werrick, Mains, Murphy and Reilly
crossed the plate, and the murmur went
up the Sioux were done for. Mains
was plugged in the side with pitched
ball, Halves flew out to Glenn,
Murphy got first on called
balls. Mains scored on Reilly's
hard hit to left, Werrick got in two
Dagger to center that let in Murphy and
Reilly, and he himself scored on Days
single hit Then there was nothing of
particular interest until the seventh
inning, when the Apostles pounded out
five more runs, helped along by two
glazing errors by the locals. Halves,
Mains and Werrick got in splendid
three-baggers, and Broughton ham
mered double, blasting all hope that
may have fingered in the breasts Of the
Savages. This ended the agony, for
although the locals tried it again,
they could not find Mains curves
and had to content themselves
with a shiny row of goose eggs
conspicuously displayed on the
Judges stand. The visitors took
pity on the Indians and did all the hit
ting, the home team showing plainly
that they were terribly deficient there.
After the fourth inning it was also re-
marked that Flanagan wasn't much
good for his club. and he didn't improve
as the innings went by. Recent events
have been unfortunate for Sioux City.
She has lost three games that she could
lily afford. and it gives Omaha big
lead, and, instead of fighting for first
place, the Sioux are now struggling to
