Omaha daily bee., 1889-06-19
Minneapolis O, maba B.


That was a very mean trick Minneapolis
played on Omaha yesterday afternoon.
Some people say that IL was Honin's ban
quet, but that had nothing to do with 1t.
1t was nothing but the foxyness Of Nor
toms gang.
or course, the White Sox thought they
had cinch on the game, and that is just pre-
cisely what the Flour City lads wanted them
TO think.
But they had their visual eyes opened at
last, but alas, alackaday, it was too late.
A timely three bagger, and puny scratch
hit, and Minneapolis pulled game out of the
fire, to the overwhelming disgust OF SOO
spectators.
It was all q part OF deep laid scheme that
was hatohed in Captain Hengle's fertile brain
and was successfully carried out by those
model young men-Michael Angelo Mime
han, 'String' Jantzen, Doctor Turner and
the diaphanous Mitchell.
Who would ever expect these gentlemen
Of being parties to such diabolical plot
No one.
Kid Nichols, too, played as if he was try
ing to clean himself of some OF the yellow
paint he got into at the banquet Monday
night rather than to hang another bunch of
curls to Omaha's belt.
Why, they smashed HIM for twelve big,
hearty, robust hits, and knocked out game
that otherwise should have been ours.
What do you think of thatl
Joe Walsh, however, played magnificent
game, outside his stick work. Some of his
stops and throws were truly marvellous.
There was no ochre on Joe.
You see. Hengle's scheme was to tako
nice comfortable lead in the start, then let
the White Sox tie the game along toward
the end, then get ahead; then, when their
last innings came, to Jump in and pound out
o victory.
Never did scheme work more beautifully.
The first was goose egg for Omaha, but
Minneapolis earned q run.
Minnehan hit the first ball the Kid re-
leased and after Miller's retirement, the
Cigar Sign drove him home.
Again, in the second, the White SoX ac
complished nothing, but the Minnies piled up
three more big, fat tallies.
Hengle went out on n long fly to Jakey
Strauss, but Willis made miserable muff of
Hanrahan's easy fly, and the fun began
Reddy stole second, and went to third on
Cooney's wild throw to catch him. He
scored on Turner's single. Then Mr.. Mitch
ell, who is so thin that he wouldn't make a
good railroad sandwich, struck out, but
"String" Jantzen banged the ball over the
left field fence for homer, scoring Turner
before him. Minnehan followed with his
secoud nit, but old Joe Miller closed the in
ming by striking out.
So you see how Hengle's scheme worked
The audience sat perfectly still and never
said word. q
In the third the White SoX braced up tenn
porarily. t en
Canavan got his base on o tizzle by Hanra-
han, but was thrown out trying to steal Sec
ond. Kid Nichols drove safe one to center,
and on Cooney's single ran clear around to
third. Cooney went to second on a bad
throw by West ana the next moment both
runners scored on passed ball
Long-legged Jantzen got coiled around the
ball while recovering IL, and before he could
disentangle himself, both men were SAFE
Cooney, however, was compelled to make a
long and desperate slide.
How the cranks did howl, and Sam Mar
tin, who sat in the directors box, exclaime d
TO President Mccormick:
'That saves me $50 more"
''How soa" inquired the president.
"Why I'll just fine that anaconda that
much for wrapping himself around the bali
in that style.n
But that was all the runs we got.
Cleveland struck out and Strauss went out
from Hengle to first.
No more scoring was done until the sew
enth, when the White Sox, by IL clever little
spurt with the stick, tied the score and got
one run ahead.
After Crooks and Walsh had been put out,
Willis sent u corker to center for a couple OF
cushions. and Wally Andrews sent him home
with clover-nipper past first, the big first
baseman going to second on the throw-in.
Canavan followed with a hit, and Anurews
scored, and on Nichols terrific three baggeI
Canavan ran homo also.
That gave us the lead and the audience
made the grand stand shake with its ap-
plause.
Cooney ended the inning by going out from
third to first.
The Minnies, however, evcned up matt err.
In u jiffy
Minnehan made three-s sacker and
scored on Miller's hit and in the closing hall
of the ninth they brought their deep-laid
scheme to a focus.
After Walsh had thrown Hanrahan out
Turner happened along with three Dagger
and Mitchell. The tssuo-paper pitcher, will
little scratch hit over Andrews head, an6
the day was won.
"Well! welll well |" cried Crooks, with
sigh as he gave his breeches hitch anG
darted for the dressing room. "Hey hey
heyl" yelled Morton, Hengle Minnehan
= Hanrahan, ct al, as they gazed gleefully
The score:
OMAHA.
