The Corn Huskers went out to McCormick
park yesterday afternoon with murder in
their eyes.
When they returned in the cleaning they
had the Lambs fleece at their girdles.
The White Sox went into the struggle in
tending to make it three straight but Mr..
Siebel has his little drop with HIM and was
perfectly supported besides. The only error
made was his own, a wide throw to catch
Walsh when he stole second, but instead Of
effecting this 1t let him to third.
1t was game to look at-but from a Sioux
City point of view only. The audience was
small but not as enthusiastic as 1t would have
been had the score been the other wav.
Some thought the White Sox might have
played better than they did.
Be that as it may they fought hard and
died hard, but they would have yet been
alive could they have hit little bit
But they couldn't.
Siebel's twlrling was too much for them,
notwithstanding he had about as much pace
as hearse, and just foated them over as big
as street cars
Baker was strong too, but a bit erratic.
Still If the Lambs had only punched lem lit
tie bit he would have won his game.
They only got four hits off of him, and four
hits won't win one game in twenty.
There is but one grain of consolation to be
gotten out of the affair and that is that Um-
pire Knight caught Jakey Strauss trying to
steal ball. He made him cough up before
the entire throng and of course that pleased
everybody.
The Huskers were the first to break the
ice, and they did it in the first inning.
After the Lambs had been retired in one,
two, three order Poorman took the club.
Walsh threw him out at first. Then Schei-
beck got his base on balls and went to third
on Nlchoson's two bagger. Shaunon's error
let him In and put SwartwOod on first and
NICK on third. moment later, by quick
throw, Donnelly caught Swart at second and
Morrissey struck out. Strauss closed the
inning with an out at first.
Again it was one, two, three for the Lambs,
and the dose was repeated five straight
times.
In the fourth the Huskers made their sec
ond and last tally.
Walsh's error gave Van Dyke a life, and
stealing second he came home on Siebel's
single after Genins had waited. Poorman
got his base on balls and the skies began to
lower, but "Old Cyn nipped Siebel in au at
tempt to steal third, and Wooden Footed
Scheibeck struck out.
In the sixth tho Lambs got their one little
measley run.
Walsh made hit stole second and took
third ON Siebels wild throw, and after DON
nelly had gone out at first scored on Bakers
two-sacKer
A wild pitch planted Norman on third,
and Twitchell got his base on balls But the
next two men, Halligan and Newman, were
infants in Siebel's hands.
they ignoramously struck out.
Newman got in the fray in the fourth by
replacing "Old Cy," who had keg of nails
knocked Off OF his throwing finger Dy foul
tip.
In the eighth the Lambs had a superb
chance to pull out the game, but they were
unequal to the emergency
Walsh led Off with safe bunt, but was
doubled w at second on Donnelly's puerile
punch.
: And tho crowd said "oh!'
Norman Baker then lined out his second
hit, which would have tied the score, and
EIwltchelPs succeeding hit would have won
N.'-+-s4s.s-.s.
Two bad, wasn't it2
But they can't do it again this afternoon,
see If they can. The score:
