Iiuck.

Win somebody kindly state what the
gSt. Paul team needs? Is it manager,
lmen. or mascot? Those who witnessed
1.-THE contest yesterday will probably an
!swer Mascot" for no team fevel played
i'm more magnificent form or i'll worse
luck. AIeekin's pitching was superb.
his support was practically perfect, the
two errors having no effect whatever on
the score, and the hits Wefenumerons.
Ill looked like plain case OF Dame
Fortune throwing her Influence with
the opposition. The Nebraska aggre.
gation made six hits, and three OF
those sent six men across the
pIate, Just enough to will the
game. The contest was pretty
:One, and grew i'll Interest nntil
the last hit was made IN the ninth
Inning. The feature was the batting OF
lPhalen, whose three hits brought In
-four runs and aided in bringing Ill the
sother two. Practically all the hitting of
the local team was done by Murphy,
Burks, Daily and Meekin. In the field
some of the stops made by Walsh were
phenomenal Broughton, Phillips,
Halves and Canavan also put up a
splendid game Meekin was hit for
single in the second tuning, another in
the fifth, a third i'll the siXthand home
run in the seventh, and would have
probably won had he not been litnniils
pitching arm by Faniiing in the ninth
inning, necessitating the substitution OF
Mains. Murphy, the first man to face
right field, Burks followed with
one to center, Hawes pounded
the ball down in front of the
plate and Moran threw it over Andrews
head, TWO men scoring and the othergo-
ing to third. DAILY hit safely and
Halves scored. There was nobody out,
and matters were running along smooth.
". Abbey hit theHball to pitcher, who
nipped DAILY. Abbey. however, stole
Bag No. 9 and was sacrificed TO third.
He WAS left there, Brougkton popping
upsai1oul fly for cleveland. The next
inning was lopenedsby Farmer taking
sack on bad balls. and 7Meekln'S hit sent
him to third. The latter was caught
trying to stealsecond. Alurphy.s clean
drive eto.rightscOredE Farmer, and Burks
nut the ball in a !sateaplace atscenter.
The side was doubled into the felu,
however, onHaweS' Grounder to Walsh.
st. Paul had made six hits
and four runs in the two inn
ings. but only made three hits in the
rest of the .game-Meekin's home
run in the seventh resulting insthe
only run. Omaha fiOundered ilazily
along torthe fifth inning without sscer-
ing, when Tanning and Canavan we've
given bases OH balls, were sacrificed
along a base Oh Walsh's sacrifice and
scored OH Phalen's short hit to center.
This occurred withtwOmen out. Again,
inftlIe seventh, with two men out and
Kearnsson first from being hit by pitch
er, Phalen raped the ball over the
right field fence. In the last halfiof
the eninth, with. the. score 5 to A in favor
of the locals, Mains took the box and
opened up alispiciously by striking out
Canavan HE then presented Walsh
with base, but Kearns popped up a
Nightly which Broughton neatly cap
tured, and it.loolled very favorable for
the Apostles. Rhalen then put in a
single to right, and Mains filled the
bases by hitting Andrews, who had
struck out three times. Willis waited
for a good ball and pasted it out to cen
ter, Walsh and PhaIen scoring the win
ming runs. Score:
