WHAT'S the matter Win the ncKle Souuess
Of Fortune, anyway
Can it be possible that the old girl never
intends to grin on Omaha agalni
1t looks that way.
Just think of II Again, yesterday after.
noon, the ruthless warriors from the land of
the Sioux knocked out the White Sox,
knocked them out so hard, and 50 compile tely
that some of them couldn't be recognized by
their own names.
And it would require derrick to lift the
gloom that now rests upon the city.
What made yesterdays calamity par
ticularly heart-renderlng was the fact that it
happened in the presence of the biggest
crowd that has assembled at the park this
season. The entire enclosure was alive with
people, and there must have been fully four
thousand or more. They lined the outtield
in buggies and carriages, crowded on the
beachers like flies on lump of sugar, and
filled the grand stand until there wasn't
room left for even two-year-old kid
There were ladies there, too, by the score,
and their radiant faces, and iiower-topped
hats lent pleasing effect to the scene.
And every soul, almost had gone out for
the express purpose OF cheering and applaud
ing for Omaha. Nobody dreamed she
would be compelled to again bow her regal
head 10 the Corn Huskers
But they are real little devils, every one of
them, and they had more fun with Omaha
than you ever heard OF.
1t dsgusted the ladies in the reserved seats
to see them act up so.
Our Partisan friend, Monsieur Strauss,
was the first man up, as usual
He didn't monkey very long before he
caught the sphere on the end of his bat and
sent it whizzing like a musket shot way out
over right field. He would have made three
sacks on it easily if it hadn't been
for that tleet-footed representative of the
Darwinian theory, MIR. Cline, of Louisville,
Ii mi inc
catch, and Strauss, who was tearing away
for record, turned round and sheeplshly
came back to the bench.
Old Buffalo followed suit on an altitude
nous foul to Powell, but Mr.. Flanagan was
more lenient with Crooks, and gave him his
base on balls. Jack was out for the stuff
anybody could see that-and without any
unnecessary delay he made bold dash for
second.
He skated in on his vest 'front.' and the
bleachers vociferated with Joy.
Then, to everybody's astonishment, he
made a clean steal of third, and the excited
multitude went on with their shouting.
This success, however, was too much for
Crooks, and he imagined that
he bore charmed life-as tney used to say in
Beadle's dime novels. So giving his panta-
lettes hitch, he absolutely essayed to steal
home. When he got to the plate he found
Holman there waiting patiently for him
with the ball.
Pity it hadn't been u clupl
For the Indians, Monkey Cline reached
first with mis- usual luck, which came this
time in the shape of an error big enough to
work for living, by Joe Walsh. BY good
slide he stole second, and on Glenn's out
went to third, scoring on Genins' scratch hit,
after Powell had famed out. Brosnan
ended the inning by being thrown out at first.
One run for starter
In the second Omaha took a lead of one
but how soon she was doomed to lose it.
Andrews waddled to first on balls, and
mr. no ntt ia made N "a hard
feelings purloined second.
This was the signal for much hilarity.
When the din subsided Scrappy Jack i'm
mediately revived it by driving the ball way
out among the left field buggies for three
cushions, sending Wally home, by easy
stages, of course. Messitt came in moment
later on Walsh's fine sacrifice out to Genins.
Canavan's missed third strike gave him a
base, but, in foolishly endeavoring to take
two on the error, he was put out.
Nagle then followed with a nice single, but
Carke's strike out blasted Omaha's hopes
eternally.
They never made another run. Honest
Ingin
The Corn Huskers came in just as clipper
rs you please, and tied the score, too quick.
After Burke had gone out to Strauss, a
second decidedly decomposed error by Walsh
gave George Washington Bradley second
base Then putrid blunder by Crooks gave
him third, and he ambled across the plate on
E,lanagan's single.
Having evened things up, Cline went out
and the Omahas tried it again.
But II was no CO.
Although the Count got to first on balls, he
went to sleep then, and was tossed out by
the man in the box. Grover struck ont and
Crooks died from start to first.
Just to make the game trifie more eXcit-
ing, Sioux City scored again.
After Glenn had tanned out Daddy Clarke
gave Powell his base on balls. Genins was
thrown out by Walsh, but Brosnan made a
single to right. on which he took two bases,
ns Strauss let the ball go by him, while
Powell came home. Burke struck out.
Again they added q tally to their total in
the seventh, and in the eighth two more.
So Omaha WAS again beaten. The audience
couldn't believe it, and you could see them
all obviously examining their score cards as
they moved, with funeral tread from The
grounds.
Defeat is most dispiriting institution.
Don't itl
But read the score, aud remember that this
afternoon is when we reek sweet vengeance
