Another Victory.


by the practice of little con. game the
Omahas again prevailed upon lot of farm
srs from Minneapolis to 60 out TO the ball
grounds, yesterday afternoon, and play them
game OF ball
IL would have been better for the Minnies
had they remained away.
For the white legs not only won the game
quite handily, but gave the visitors an un-
mercful thrashing.
Verify, Minneapolis lot is far from happy.
There were only about four thousand peo
pie present when this happened, and oh me
weren't they glad
II was bad enough for Morton's aggrega-
tion TO loose the game, but to be jumped upon
and tramped in through the sod was much
worse.
So it can not be wondered at that Captain
Henglo was as sore as boil last night.
Morrison, erratic Morrison, started IN to do
the rotating for the Minneapolis, but he is no
hog and knows when he's got enough. One
Innings was about his size yesterday. Then
Turner went into the box, and the Minnie's
luck changed and-got worse. Long, lank,
cadaverous Mr. Jantzen did the catching.
Willis and Nagle were in the points for
Omaha and their labors were superb
The first inning opened up in an enthusi.
astic manner, and the multitude was fairly
tickled to death.
The French count from Amsterdam, known
as Herr Strauss, by little iudicious waiting,
was presented with his base by MIR. Morr-
son. Then the ex president smashed the ball
out into the left garden for a single, the
count reaching third. Jack Crooks was in
an emulatory mood and SO he just smacked
her for a bag himself, sending Strauss across
the plate and Buffalo to third. Crooks stole
second, skating in to the bag on his shirt
front Morrison was mad, and he fred away
at Cooney at random, catching him in the
calf of the leg OF course he went to first
and the bags were all occupied. Sir Joseph
Walsh now stepped up TO the rubber and as
the slantng sunshine glinted among his
warm tresses, he looked like the statue of
Stern Resolve.
Morrison secured the ball in his sinuous
fingers, bent his body and let her go. 1t
came like rifle ball and would probably
have gone clear through the grand stand had
not 1t been for one thing
That was Wash's club.
The sphere collided with 1t with sound
not unlike that made by blowing ur peanut
sack and sitting down on it with great sud
denness. Invent Kissing out into Mime
hans territory, and both Cleveland and
Crooks ran home, while little Coohey scam
pered clear round to third. Walsh immedi-
ately dashed away for second, and in his
eagerness to nip the young man in the full
flush of his ambition Minneapolis elongated
backstop threw the ball way over Hengle's
head, and the tropical haired boy waltzed on
to third while Cooney crossed the plate.
The yellS of the excited audience were
long, loud and aggravatng.
1t was such a pretty sight to see the
Omahas gallivanting around the bases.
The next moment Walsh added his tally to
the total score on wild pitch by Morrison,
which was also missed third strike, Nagle
being at the bat.
1t was tough on Morton's crowd, but the
audience howled with hendish delight all the
same.
Canavan, Messitt and Willis went out
and the fun lulled for few moments.
Mickey Morrison had an elegant suf-
fciency, and he changed places with T,r-
ner, in middle field. The people sympa-
thized with him, but they were too happy to
observe respectful silence.
Willis signalized his appearance by strik-
ing out the two first Minnies at the bat in "a
jiffy. No one knows what jiffy is, but that
is what sweet-faced girl said, who sat
right behind the scorers box, all through the
game.
Turner and DAILY went back to the bench
IN disgust while the people cried, "oh oh
That was pretty work.
"Cigar Sign" West took first on four bad
balls.
That wasn't quite so pretty.
Reddy Hanrahan, however, flew out to
Crooks, and so no harm was DONE
In the second the Partisan secured first on
q wild throw by Turner, who had taken
Mixes place in the box. He went to second
on Clcveand's second safe hit, stole third
and then actually stole home.
The way the audience greeted this exploit
made the Minnesotans sick
Old Buffalo ambled clear round to third OH
Crooks out from Turner to West and
scored on Cooney's drive to right. The lat
ter got to second on passed ball, third on
Walsh's hit, but was caught at the plate as
he endeavored to score on Walsh's steal of
second. Hengle made a great throw, and
was deservedly applauded. Nagle struck
out.
But seven runs in the first two innings was
plenty.
In their half, the visitors got the first of
their two runs. Cooney made an inexcus-
able muff Of Farmer Miller's long high fy,
and Hengle sent him home on lpcky two
sacker.
Turner was seized with generous streak
In the third, and he made both Canavan and
Messitt a present of first on eight wretchedly
bad balls.
They stole second in concert, and moment
later Willis drove them both home by u rat
Ting drive to left
Right here the trenchant air was again set
a-quiver with chin music.
Strauss went out at first, but President
Cleveland reached first on Daly's muff of his
fly, but Crooks and Willis We're doubled up,
and the Omahas had to be content with
pair OF tallies
The Mnnies were Chcagoed, Turner and
west striking out, and Hanrahan dying at
first. DAILY, however had reached first on
balls.
But why continue this monotonous storyl
Won't it suffice to know that the White Legs
on two hits, two errors and base on balls,
scored three times mora In the fourth; once
in the fifth on n hit and couple of sacr-
fees, and five times in the sixth, on Mes
