Omaha daily bee., 1889-05-24
Charlie Lord Again To-Day.
Following are the positions OF the two
cams for this afternoons battle:
Omaha 10, st. Joseph 2

Omaha 10, st. Joseph 2.
Omaha and ST. Joe met at the local park
yesterday afternoon. and played the second
game Of the present series in the presence OF
1900 delighted spectators.
And again Omaha won.
Thus, of the five games the two teams have
played, the Omahas have won them all but
one, and that one was tie on fourteen in
nings.
Yesterdays victory was due to TWO things,
Clarke's mastery pitching and the Omaha's
terrific slugging.
They found Klopf's curves just as easy as
rolling Off u log. He was rottenly supported,
however, and yet that circumstance didn't
affect the result for the White Sox earned
ten of their fifteen runs by the neatest kind
of hitting.
But what makes this triumph doubly
sweet is the fact that Sioux City lost to Den
yer yesterday, and again we are in second
place.
And please don't forget it, we're going to
stay there, or go up front.
But as to the game:
Messitt knocked little one to Ardner and
WAS thrown out at first. Grover got his
base on balls, but was forced out by Strauss,
who also died in an attempt TO steal second.
The st. Joe's opened up tiercely, and the
crowd said we're beat,
But that was all the crowd knew about it.
Big Cartright lead off with a hit and stole
second. Curtis went out on a high foul to
Messitt. Ardner was then given a life on
Strauss muff, and Krieg his on u wild throw
by Clarke. Cartright scored on this play
and F'rye's hit forced Ardner at third.
Shellhasse then flew out to Canavan, so an
inning that threatened direful consequences
only resulted in one little run.
That was sufficient however, to set the
roasters in the grand stand to work.
In the second Mr. Crooks flew out to
Krieg but Cooney lined out safe one. He
was caught stealing second, however, and
Walsh's fly to Frye closed the inning.
Campana started the visitors half with
rattling drive to right, and on q similar hit
by Whitney, he went to third. Whitney I'M
mediately tried to steal second, thinking that
Nagle wouldn't dare throw to put him out
but that's where he made II mistake.
Nagle did throw, and quick and accurate
too, and Whitney went and sat down, while
Campana hugged third as If 1t had been his
best girl. Klopf flew out TO Canayan. and
Cartwright 10 Crooks.
! That was right lively work, and the audi
enoe enjoyed 1t immensely.
Nagle began the third with O single to
center, but Canavan went out on a grounder
to Cartwright Clarke took his base on
balls, but both were left, Messitt and Grover
being quickly retired.
This made the spectators fdget in their
seats, and all over the stand you could hear,
"We're licked again"
For ST. Joe it was one, two, three.
That was encouraging
In the fourth the score was tied, and the
audience smiled contentedly.
Again, for ST. Joe, it was one, two, three.
That was more encouraging.
In the next inning Omaha went to the
front, and the smile of contentment wreath
ing the faces of the cranks grew broader
than ever.
Canavan took his base on four wide balls.
Clarke flew out to Ardner, but Scrappy Jack
made hit and Canavan galiyanted around
bird and nf a tspS
at first on n throw from Ardner. Ardner
also threw Strauss out.
II you will observe, Ardner cut decided
figure in St. Joe's work yesterday. Eight
put outs and four assists IS record to be
proud Of.
For Lords aggregation, Whitney reached
first on Cooney's muff, but was quickly and
systematically done up with klopf by Walsh,
Crooks ana Messitt.
This evoked gentle roar.
Cartright was thrown out by Clarke,
And again in the sixth, the White Sox
scored
Crooks went to first on balls, stole second
by ploughing up several yards of turf with
his proboscis; reached third on Coouey's out,
then crossed tho plate on Nagles second hit
after Walsh had been retired at first. Cana.
van went out from pitch to catch.
The score now stood to l, and TIE people
felt better.
st. Joes half was marked by an extraordi
narily brilliant play on the part of Captain
Crooks and Joe Walsh.
Curtis made hit. Ardner went out from
Crooks to Messitt, then Krieg made o little
curving fly to short inteled, which Crooks by
spendid run scooped up just as 1t was about
to light on terra firma-yes, terra hrma,
that's the word-and with double -jointed,
back action fling, slammed it to Walsh, who
had covered second, and Curtis and the side
was out.
That was pretty fielding and no mistake.
The next inning, the sanguinary seventh,
proved 81. Joe's Chicamauga and Bridge Of
Lodi combined.
For "a few moments 1t looked as If there
was o shower of leather, and the big Mis-
s0urians could be seen dashing frantcally
about the field like "a flock of sleep in q
thunder storm.
Daddy Clarke first stirred up the ANIMALS
with two-bagger to left; Messilt got to first
by Campana's iuggle, but was forced out by
Clevelund's youthful punch to Whitney,
Clark, however making third on it. Strauss
came In at this iuncture and smashed out
double, and Daddy came home with his
earned run and Grover went to third
The excitement all this time was some
thing fearful, but in moment it changed to
the widest enthusiasm.
Crooks followed with slashing single,
Cooney with his second two Dagger, and
Walsh, Nagle aud Canavan with singles in
such quick succession that it made MIR.
Klopf's head swim.
On this broadside Cleveland, Strauss,
Crooks, Cooney, Walsh and Nagle scored.
This was tremendous, and some of the
crowd did so much yelling that they'll be
sucking chlorate of potash for month of Sun.
days.
Clarke again came. .to.the bat, and again he
reached tirSt this time, though, on Fryes
muff of mis- short fly, Canavan scoring ON the
throw in. Messitts second out retired the
side, ana seven runs was all that Omaha
managed to get out OF the wreck.
Thus Omaha had ten runs, and st. Joe but
one, and everybody was wild with Joy.
For the Joes, Shcllhasse was thrown out
by Crooks, but Frye got his base on an ex-
cusable error by Walsh. Then Campana
made a hit, only TO 90 caught mapping mo-
ment later by IA quick throw OF eagle-eyed
Tommy Nagle. Whitney was sent 10 first on
balls, but Klopf's out to Walsh ended the in.

In the ninth Omaha piled up live more
