plete With Errors and Rank
DeCisions-The Score.


Poor old, Inflated, abused, downtrodden
deserted desolate, dispairing, hopeless
Omaha!
Lucky Milwaukee,
Yesterday afternoon in the first of their
last series here, the Brewers, for some unac-
countable and mysterious reason, were al.
lowed ten men against the Black Sox' reg.
ular nine
This extra man was Ban die the umpire
The reason, probably that Milwaukee was
accorded this unprecedented courtesy was
because she had only won fifteen straight
from Omaha, and it would mar her record to
have this glittering chain of victories broken
at this late day.
The game opened up with dash and vim
that quickly aroused much Of the enthusias IN
that has been lying dormant In Mullen's pea
nut factory for the past two months. and
the thousands who crowded the stands
and bleachers made the earth and atmosphere
vlbratc with their reSounding cheers.
Dam Honin'S mouth resembled Mammoth
cave and the 70 ar that came out of it was
bigger than the new city hall building.
Hoodlum Griffith was in the box for the
visitors and for the two first innings it was
biff smash! bang and when the smoke and
dust cleared away five big aldermanic runs
shonc forth from tho bulletin board and the
people cheered again.
They Were SO happy.
Milwaukee was to be beaten at las t
That's what they tn ought
But poor deluded mortals, they didn't OBJ
serve the bashrul smile that played about the
classic mouth of the umpire and never on &c
realized that the brightest day could be made
black "a YNb Inv tbn inn 10 of 1t,
preternatural wand.
But it was ever thus.
In the sixth inning Milwaukee came in and
tied the score-tied it in a dOublebow knot
They made -four runs, three of them by the
grace of Bandes miserabl work No body,
however, would be malicious en- ough tocharge
that this procedure on his part was inten.
tional, for it was not.
Hewas only mistaken in his Judgment, and
it is as human to make mistake as it is to
eat beefsteak.
Then again in the eighth repeti-
tion of this nightmare allowed big,
redheaded MOrrissey TO trot across
the plate with the winning run and
sore and disappointed, and breathing male
dlctiOn deep and broad and long, the throngs
dispersed and sadly made their way home
ward in the softened light of eventide.
ltwould hardly be tho right thing, how
ever, TO close this poem without q Stanza de-
voted exclusively to the playing of the two
teams.
In tho first place, Eiteiorg, who pitched
for Omaha, put up an admirable game, and
but six OF the ten hits charged up against
him were really hits. The other four were
the results of some of the most blockhead
misplaying on the part of his support ever
seen on a ball field.
Don't look for an elucidation in the error
column, for you will fail to find it there, for
the damage was all due to unac cepted chances,
or bluffs at playing ball would be better
way to style it,
On the other hand Milwau kee constru cted
an almost errorless game, and vet, as anoma-
lous as it seems, could not have won with
ANYTHING like eqitabe umpring
The same teams again this afternoon.
The score:
