park yesterday afternoon and played the last
game Of their first series in the presence OF
about one thousand spectators.
And once more Omaha won.
The victory was due to one thing, and that
was to the Omaha players superior hitting
ability They found Vintons curves from
the start, and kept up constant fusilade
throughout the entire struggle
Strauss opened up by flying out from the
rubescent Hanrahan to pearse. Then MIR.
Vintou unllnked his long form and tried to
knock the ex-presidents brains out by
smashing him in the cerebellum with the
ball
Everybody hoIlored" "ouch !" but Cleveland
wasn't hurt so bad but what he reached first
all right.
"Now I'll send you in for that sang MIR.
Crooks, as he spat upon his delicate paws
and took his position at the plate.
And he came within an ace of fulfilling
his words for the first ball pitched he caught
full on the proboscis and sent whizzng way
out in deep center for couple OF bags,
Cleveland, of course, reaching third.
The next man to face the box was Cooney.
He's little, but oh my
Vinton gave him good ball, but instead
of smashing IL, he only iabbed large hole
Ill the circumambient atmosphere.
Tho Minnesota twirler grinned at him
sardonically.
That made Cooney mad, and the next ball
Vinton cut loose, the little man with the big
bat caught it just right, and it went sailing
way out against the right field fence for
three bases.
Cleveland and Crooks walked home to-
gcther, arm in arm.
Then the people in the grand stand opened
their faces in one long, prodgious howl.
Walsh was the next batter up. He hit the
ball savagely a line for Hengle, and
Hengle gathered il in with neatness and
dispatch. But he didn't stop here, but
whirling with the auckness of thought-as
Victor Hugo mas it-he hurled the globu-
lated pigskin TO old Joe Miller, and caught
MIR. Cooney off his base, thereby effeCting a
very recherche double play.
Two runs in, and the people said the same
old puddin'.
In their half the visitors. notwithstanding
that they touched Daddy Clarke up for two
nice singles, failed to get a man across the
plate.
The second was unproductiye for
either side, but in the third there
was some pretty work. Cooney succeeded
in reaching first on an exquisite bunt, and
then after the Gallo count had struck out,
President Cleveland again appeared within
the arena. There were symptoms of lfe's
fluid trickling about in his usual dove-like
visual organs, and everyone felt that he was
about to call Mr. Vinton down for smashing
In his occiput In the previous inning.
The pitcher was evidently inclined to the
same belief, and he bent his lissome form for
mighty effort.
Old Buffalo, however, was watching him,
and he lifted his tree menaclngly.
Whiz! came the sphere
Then there was ringing crack like the
report of shotgun, and a thin, blush streak
was deserted glancing athwart the emerald
field over Daly's head, and before the batter
could make up his mind that it was the ball.
Elmer landed, putting like a porpoise, on
third. while Cooney scooted home.
Crooks was quickly on hand and, sans
ceremony, lined out beauty to right and
the President walked in, tapped the plate
with his toe and went and sat down. OF
course this was all very exhilirating and
some people cheered SO much that they got
very hoarse.
That made four runs.
For the Minnies Turner was easily thrown
oueat first, but Daily got a nice one and hit
1t for a couple Of sacks. Big West struck
out, but Hanrahan corked out a fine three
bagger and sent Daily home with an earned
run.
In the fourth every blessed one of the white
legs got a crack at Vinton, and on three
bases on balls, three-bagger each by
Cooney and Messitt and n two.bagger by
Daddy Clarke, Maggie and Messitt, Clarke,
Strauss anu Crooks crossed the plate
6The runs were now piling up like a Hima-
layan peak, and the one thousand spectators
went wild with Joy.
In their half, Captain Hengle hit out a
savage two o-sacker, went to third on wide
pitch, and scored on Pearses out.
Aud that was all the Minnies could do, and
nobody cared continental.
But there was no stopping the Omahogs,
for they came right back as clipper and
sassy as ever, and on hits by Nagle and
Strauss, a missed third strike and an error
by DAILY, added two more tallies to their
score.
For the Minnies Turner opened up
by hitting safe. DAILY drove him
homo on three-bagger, then West
WAS speedily disposed of, and then Daily
crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Hanrahan
was given n life by Walsh's error but was
shortly after doubled up nicely with Miller
by u skillfully handled ball by Clarke Crooks
and Messitt.
Omaha was Chicagoed in the sixth,
That was sad.
Then the Minnies secured another run,
Canavan nluffed Pearse's high fly, he was
forced to second by Dugdales base on balls
and scored on Turner's hit.
The seventh yielded two singles and 8
double for Omaha, and yet they only sue
ceeded in getting single man home.
The Minnies made one also.
That was ut for tat.
Omaha drew blanks in both the eighth and
ninth, and it looked just as if they did it on
purpose.
Hengle's men, too, went out without profit
IN the eighth, but in the ninth, on a base on
balls and Il two-bagger, they got their sew
enth and last run.
And so the fair dream faded.
The Official score follows:
OMAHA,
