the grand stand at the close OF yesterdays
conflict; aud the crank was correct, it was
an Off day.
Sioux City won too easy-the score stand

The audience-as most baseball writers er-
roncouslv denouinate as spectators-got their
moneys worth by running fire Of criticism
throughout the game.
| mention money here because the old
axiom says time is money, and in this case
the crowd threw it away by the handful.
The commodore was the first white leg, as
usual at the bat. lie went out from pitch to
first. But not so with Jocko Haligan. He
was feeling a trhe sore over his infantile
batting of the day before and the second
ball Billy Hart cut loose he caught in the
neck and it never stopped until it brought
up III alarming proximity to Jeff Bodford's
sign.
or course the crowd cheered this nice
piece Of work, and when Jocko reached the

Brahma ROSTERS.
Sutcliffes liner was taken care of by the
supple Mr.. Scheibeck, but Papa Allen
cracked out a single, which he mistook for a
double, and the result was that Count Nor
rissey threw him out at second.
For the Huskers Poorman was quickly
disposed of, Clarke tossing him out at first.
But Scheibeck made single and stole sec
ond without half trying Nicholson flied to
McCauley and Swartwood got his base on
balls. Still they should have been smut out,
but they weren't. Walsh fumbled Morris
sey's hot grounder, which not only let him
safe, but put Swart on third, while She
came clear home. A moment later Swart-
wood followed on passed ball.
And might remark right here that Halli-
Ran's catching was decidedly Buffalo broth
erhOod all through the game.
Earle put welcome estoppage to further
proceedings by flying out to Sutcliffc.
1t required but brief fraction of time to
send the lambs into the field in the second.
Griffin went out from short to first, and
Shannon from pitch to first. Walsh flied to
Van Dyke
And it was the same with the Huskers.
Walsh and McCauley took care of Van Dyke,
Shannon of Genins, and Hart struck out So
that was tit for tat.
Jimmy Donnely started the third by a
safe drive to right and the crowd cried
heres where we win" But Dad flew out to
left, and Genins, after making circus stop
of Twitchelps incandescent rap, threw him
out at first Then Halllgan hit short high
one to Poorman, which Poorman generously
mufed, Donnelly running home and Hallgan
making second on the error
Ihls tied the score and the spectators were
happy, but wnen Hart presented both SUIT
clife and McCauley with their base, they
fractured the clrcumambient air with a salvo
ofmirthful howls. These were cut short how
ever, by Griffin forcing Papa at second
But the score was tied and the spectators
were on easy street, so they thought. for
again the Pumpkin Rollers vent out IN one
two three order, Clarke pitching but four
balls In the inning.
That was quick work, and good work too.
The fourth was fruitless for Omaha but
the Huskers rolled up their sleeves and
punched the wadding out of us.
s5wartwood went to first because Dad
failed to get 'em over. Count Morrissey
smashed away frantically at the whirling
sphere and missed it. Then he hit it twice
In the same place and sat down. Earle hit
Tor single just after Swart hau stolen sec
ocnd, and OF course the big right fielder came
In on the drive. Then Just to keep things
flew out to Twitchell, and every body prayed
that that was the last of it. But alas for
human hopes. Genins connected for a
couple of cushions and Earle crossed the
rubicon, and silence deep enough to

and If Sioux City could have made
any use Of the grand stand he would have
stolen that too. Harts single scored Chawles
and after he was safe in, Billy stole second
Mr. Poorman took his base on balls. and
Scheibeck, hitting for a brace OF bags, came
home.
Nicholson's out from Walsh to first gave
the spectators n chance to gasp for wind
Five runs! Whew That was heartrend-
ing.
Then Omaha came in, but she looked hot
tired and disgusted, and acted Just as if she
knew the day was lost
Despite this languor, however, she man.

got
You SEQ that chap, Hart, was hard to
gauge.
Twtchell got to first because Billy refused
to put them within reach, and on the big
Prussan's error Halligan followed him
there, as did "Old Cy" also, on four more
wide ones
The clouds began to roll ty, but soon
thickcned again. us McCauley succumbed on
n pop-up to Geuins and reliable Sandy Griffin
struck out.
Shannon was our last chance and he proved
the right man in the right place, for while no
less than four of the Huskers ran for his
hlRh fy, none of them got it, and commodore
and Halligan scored.
Walsh's out from She to the count ended
Omaha's run-getting.
30 you don't want to hear the rest do YOU
The LAMBS got beaten, and that's certainly
enough.
Sioux City came right back, and as there
wasn't much OF anything to prevent them,
they scored again, and this sort of thing con-
tlnued until the score stood IL to 4, and the
curfew tolled tho knell of parting day, the
cows began to wend their way across he lea,
leaving the world TO darkness and to me
Then every body went home mad to their
evening prayers.
And that's what makes me tired
Here's blue print of the casualty:
