SIX OF THEM CROSS THE PLATE.

Kansas City and Omaha played a great
game Of ball yesterday in the presence of
probably the largest week day attendance OF
the season.
1t was a great day for the national pas
time the thermometer standing at about 10,
which, as you know, is just the sort Of
. weather for ball players and race horses.
The hotter 1t is the better their perform
ance.
The struggle began in way that led every
body TO expect an exciting contest, and III
this they were not disappointed, for both
teams were on their mctte and they never
Jagged moment. II was get up and hustle
from the moment the umpire, Bandle, stepped
over 10 the grand stand and asked Arthur
Remington what time it was By his new
watch, up TO the close of the ninth inning.
Canavan began the difficulty by three
futile attempts to connect with Con
ways curves. Then Joe Walsh made a hit
and Dan Honin's cheers could have been
heard for a quarter Of a mile. Joe, however,
was "A trihe premature in his attempt to
''pinch" third. for Mr.. GunsOu, who is some
what Of a catcher, by the way, threw him out
just like swallowing raw saddle rock.
Tommy Kearns fOuled out and then the
Cowboys came in.
Manager Manning always was lucky fel-
low and his good fortune didn't desert him
in this instance, for ne hit ball down to

Jimmy galloped clear round 10 third before
Kearns could gather up the wayward sphere
and hurl il back into the diamond.
Elmer Smith sent high one TO Hines, and
Hines embraced it lovingly. Then Burns,
our own rubcscent phized Poet, hit
terror right at Walsh, but Walsh gathered
it up whiskers and ALL aid fired Manager
Manning out at the plate.
Jimmy, you see thought it was dead safe
hit, and that's where Jimmy got left

In the second Hines flew out to Hoover,
but Hick Carpenter made pretty mess Of
Andrews grounder and Andrews landed
Safe.
He stole second
That's what. Wally just simply walked
right away with the second bag from under
Mr. Gunsons very nose, but that's all it
amounted to, for he never got any farther.
Willis hit long one to Smith. Then
Cleveland got his base on four bad ones, but
Morans out from second to first squelched
all hope Of run.
1t was one, two, three for those fresh water
ducks from the mouth of the Kaw.
Dad Clarke opened up the third with
clean hit, but was forced out ut second by
Canavan's grounder to Manning. Walsh re-
tired ON fly to Hoover, but KearnS made
hit on which Canavan reached third. Tommy
then'stole second, but both runners were
again left on Hines foul to GunSen.
In their half the visitors never had so much
fun in all their lives.
They jumped on to Dad and actually en-
deavorod TO knock the life out of him.
In this, however, they failed, but they did
succeed in knocking out victory.
Gunson took the initiative by hitting safe
TO left, and Conway followed with its mate to
center. Then Cleveland made error you
could smell almost, and the bases were full.
Everybody looked scared.
And well they might.
Elmer Smith, the boy with the strong arm,
ambled gracefully up to the plate and after
having two strikes called on him. he hit
Colonel Clarke thump that made his teeth
rattle.
The ball scared over Hines head and out
to the carriage gate, where it curled up
there until Gunsen, Conway and Manning
chased each other across the pan, and Smith
anchored safe on third.
The Poet came next and he made q hit and
Smith scored. Then Hoover went out from
Canayan to Andrews, and Clarke hit chatter
ing Danny Stearns with the ball. He went to
third on Carpenters hit and ran home on
Donahues. Old Mr.. Carpenter undertook to
follow Stearns over the pan on Gunsens hit
to Walsh. but Joe nailed him at the plate
Conway in his second time at the bat, went
out on hot one TO Andrews.
But the Cowboys had made six runs, and
won the game, for they never got man to
second after that.
Omaha was disheartened after this Water
loo still they kept on playing ball, and in the
sixth and seventh innings hit out four tallics,
two of them being earned.
However, as the game was lost, and there
was nothing particularly startling about the
capture of these four runs, detailed descrip-
tion would be superhuous.
But go out today and see the Black Sox
get even.
The score:
