TRIED TO BLUFF THE UMPIRE
Omaha rs, Milwaukee Z.

II was too cold for ball playing or for com
fort yesterday afternoon. The aggregation
of fumDlers from Milwaukee were especially
affected by the depressed condition of the
temperature. About one thousand people,
including more than a hundred ladies' shiv
cred through two hours game which placed
Omaha at the head Of the Western associa-
tion. Clark and Mcvey constituted the Wis
itors' battery, against Willis and Naglc for
the home team. Clark didn't pitch any better
than Grifiths did on Tuesday, but he fur
nlshed more amusement for the spectators
by his baby bluffs at Umpire Kelly's iudg
ment on balls and strikes. He was ably as
sisted in his beeflng by Herr and the antedi-
luvan Ezra Sutton. But kicking didn't
count, and the Brewers suffered their second
defeat
The Omahas were bankcd in the first
inning. For Milwaukee, Poorman was hit
by the ball, stole second and third. but was
caught at home. Morrissey got base on
balls, went to second on AlDerts out at first
by Cleveland, and second on Herrs hit. Nc
Vey was thrown out at first by Willis
Then luck came to the aid of the OInahas.
Walsh popped up fly which McVey dropped,
nnd threw wild TO Herr, giving the runner
second, and Canavan brought hun home by a
drive over second. Canavan was put out at
second by the umpire's assistance. Messtt
got four balls, went to second on Nagle's out
at FIRST and scored on Willis hit, which was
fumbled by Clark. Strauss brought Willis
in with the third run, but was caught steal
ing second. After Lowe had struck out,
Sutton raped the sphere for a two bagger,
stole third, and scored on Clark's out at
first. Poorman flew out TO Canavan, ending
the second inning with a score of 3 to in
favor of Omaha
In the third Crooks made hit, stole sec
ond and third, and scored on loves muff off
Walsh's fly to left. Cooney went out at first,
Cleveland was caught stealing second, and
Walsh followed suit
The Brewers gave evidence of being alive
for few minutes, and secured two runs,
teng the score With McVey out, Lowe got
hit to left and scored on a two-bagger by
the venerable Ezra, who scored after Clark
had fOuled to Nagle, on the throwiu of Full
ler's long fly to Strauss. The enthusiasm of
the Miwaukees was short lived. They were
blanked IN the next inning while Seelees
sluggers secured two more runs. Willis got
first on missed third strike ard scored on
Cleveland's two .bagger Strauss having per-
ished on an easy one to Morrissey. Cleveland
was assisted out at third by the umpire.
Crooks went to first on hot one to Sutton,
stole second and scored on Cooney's hit to
right Walsh got a base on balls. Canavan
went out on an easy drive to Herr.
Two scores was hardly considered lead
enough so Messitt, in the sixth, after having
first base given to him on four balls, stole his
way HOHt. SldTh gave lOuT more Wlue DallS
TO Nagle who stole second and came in on
Willis clean hit to right for two bags.
Strauss safe hit sent Willis home, but the
Trisocker was caught at second for attempt
ed larceny. There was a hole in Cleveland's
bat. Crooks and Cooney both made singles
TO right and Walsh's drive TO second scored
them. Canavan's fly to right stopped the
fun with ten runs to Omaha's credit. The
Brewers made another futile attempt to tie
the score. With Herr and McVey out Lowe
got base on balls and came home on
homer by f.. Sutton, late of Boston Clark
and Fuller got bases and Poorman struck
out
In tile seventh Messtts two bagger and
Willis sacrifice gave the visitors a run,
while Morrissey was presented with first
base by Willis and came home on passed
ball after reaching third on outs at first by
Alberts and Herr. McVcy was thrown out
at first by Crooks.
In the eighth Cleveland's single, Crooks
base ON balls, Cooney's o-bagger and
'Scrapper Jacks" homer added four to
Omaha's score, making total of fifteen, ana
ending the run getting. The official score of
the slaughter IS appended:
