ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.
That Is All the Charlie Lords Have
- to Be Thankful For.
DONE UP FOR THREE STRAIGHT.
They Take Their Departure From
Omaha n Forlorn and Dis
CURSED Gang-Standing
OF the Clubs.
Omaha IA, ST. Joseph 2.

Yesterdays game was enough to make
anyone feel good.
Why's
Because, as parting remembrancer,
Omaha jumped upon st. Joe and gave her an
unmerciful walloping.
1t was shame To treat the poor country
boys in such way.
But 1t couldn't be helped. Omaha has
been smarting ever since the Corn Huskers
gave her such salvation, and she just
made up her mind to take 1t out OF Charlie
Lords gang Of dubs and buffers.
Poor Charlie 1t is feared tnat his destiny
Is padded cell.
The st. Joes went out TO the park with q
fierce and murderous look in their eyes.
The two previous games had riled them
horribly.
They swore they'd get square
You ought to have seen them leaving the
grounds.
It was vertable funeral procession.
But the game.
# was as pretty strife as one would wish
to witness up to the eighth inning. Then 1t
suddenly became little less than great, big
megatherium farce.
The st. Joes went all to pieces, and they
resembled q lot of little boys playing tag.
Neither side scored In the first, and 80 far
as the locals were concerned, the second re-
suited the same way.
But the Charlie Lords managed to pound
out an earned run and collar another, to
which they weren't entitled.
A Bulgarian, yclept Mahoney, for short,
smashed out the first ball Willis let go for q
clean single. He was advanced to second py
Frye's base on balls and dashed across the
plate on the golden-haired Smiths hit, Frye
reaching third. Tho Omaha twirer then
made an atrocious wild pitch and Frye
came In.
An audible groan like gentle zephyr
playing over the water, ran through the
grand stand.
However, it didn't injure the building
particle, but it produced smile on Charlie
Lords face that was broader than any barn
door and deeper than any well in town.
Then Willis went right on with his appall-
Ing work, by giving Campana his base on
balls.
The ladies thought that was so moan of
him.
But he's pretty foxy, that boy Willis, and
he knew what he was dong all the time.
He struck the next two men out in such
rapid succession that they both got mad, and
big Cartwright said something real sassy to
the umpire.
Curtis out retired the side.
The White SoX-who wore black sox again
yesterday-got the first Of their fourteen
runs in the third.
Mr.. Willis led off with a whizzing three
sacker and Scrappy Jack knocked him home
on a two-bagger nearly to the same spot.
'Heyl hey hey" shouted Ike Congden,
Joe Garneau and Major Clarkson in melo-
dious unison.
It does please those boys 80 to see the home
lads smash the sphere.
Maria Halpin then drove single past
second.
Messltt tried to score on the hit but the
active Curtis threw him out at the plate.
That was bad.
Maria Buffalo made second, though, on the
throw-in, and that was some compensa alton
for jacks faux pas.
Dat, l<r,t l,,n 1,ofk hat,
But that was all the run Omaha conld get
then, for Struss and Crooks failed to con-
meet.
It was goose egg for Charlie Lords
comedy company
In the fourth Omaha made two more runs,
first like this: rra
After Cooney had flied. flew, or flown, out
to Krieg, Walsh made a hit Then he stole
second.
Some people hollered right out loud.
Then he stole third, then there was more
hollerin'.
Andrews was given first on balls, and Can
avan made hit, Walsh scoring, to be sure,
and Wally going to third. He came home a
Curtis, on which Canavan also gained third
But no more scores were made because Mes
Slit went out.
Another egg for the burlesquers.
Then Omaha took one In her'n, and an
other in the sixth, and the fantastiegus did
likewise, Walsh, Crooks and Andrews help
ing them to one on double play, and Cana
van and Andrews to the other on another.
AND then the latter was q honey-cooler.
Canavan, after u hard run, scooped in
Ardner's fly, and by magnificent throw to
Andrews, caught Curtis, who had started
for second on the hit.
The feelings of the audience found express
sion in mighty shout of jubilation.
+, The slick little fielder had to doff his cap.
In the seventh the White Sox made their
fourth tally, and in the succeeding inning
Blk morel
And what illumination there was at
that.
Let's see, it's hard to remember how 1t all
happened,
Canavan and Willis went out on flies; then
Messitt got his base or balls. He stole sec
ond and third in Il iiffy. Grover made a
single to left, but 1t got by Curtis, and he
followed Jack home.
There was considerable cachination in the
stands at this.
Strauss continued the royal sport with a
two-sacker, then Crooks hit to the equatorial
haired Smith, who, in attempting to throw
him out at first, killed an English sparrow on
top of the grand stand. The ball fell among 9
the bleachers, and both runners crossed the
rubber.
The California wonder was ratified and he
banged Cooney on the crazy bone! He, too,
stole second. Walsh made hit and Jimmy
scored, Joe gong to second on the return of
the bail. Andrews sent him home on a
single, but Wally being forced out on second
by Canavan, the fun stopped-for few
minutes
just long enough for ST. Joe to suck
another egg.
Then the White Sox came right back and
piled up four more runs, and Charlie Lord
sat on the players bench glum as an oyster,
but sweating like a darkey IN a rolling mill.
He probably wished he'd never been born.
Poor mani
The last four runs were made, it may be
well to add, on Willis two-sacker, two bases
on balls, and Joe Strauss beautiful homer
The st. Joes went out like lightning
They were tired, iaded, sore and Disguised
but glad TO get off with their lives
As ball players they are N. j.
Glance at the statistics they are official:
OMAHA.
