That Rock Island won the tenth
straight game Saturday was due
largely to Paddy Lynch. who not only
gave magnificent exhibition OF field
work, but hit the ball for three
bases. 1t was a terrific slugrinr
match all the way through, the
sphere getting most abom-
Unable trcuncing from first
to last. 1t was reg
ular sec-saw contest. In the fourth
Lynch made the circus play of the
game. Lookabaugh hit u vicious
screamer about two feet over Paddv's
head. He stuck up his left mitt and
jumped and pulled it down nicely.

after Rock Island had its last chance
at the bat. Omaha began annihiiatinr
the ball again, and it looked eN-
tremely dubious as to the outcome.
There were two men on bases and
big hitters 20 come. Lookabaur chs
aspirations were again cut short by
Paddy, who picked up a lawn trim
mer. and assisted Cantillon and
Kreig in 4 lightning double play that
ended the music right there. Here

Who could have expected us to
win Yesterday? The cause OF the de-
feat i'll the first place belongs to Can
tillon, and his fine should not exceed
s20.nor less than 1889. just before
Rock Island left on its last trip. Joe
Cantillon, Ed Cline and Danny Swee-
ney went fishing. Well they STAYED
out all day, and about $50 Danny
hoped of n Milan street car and had
two coats under his arm. They were
Eds and Joe's. Joe and the fat UNI
pire came home with smiles on their
faces, but around each heart was a
dark circle on which could be traced
the word revenge" The opportu
nifty came and for three whole weeks
Danny has been going around with
his working clothes on. his store
clothes having been hidden by Can
tillon. Saturday evening Joe gave
them back to him. and the conse-
quence was Rock Island lost. Then.
again. on Saturday evening, some of
the boys threw i'll a quarter or SO,
and little Roscoe Morton, the clubs
colored mascot, was fitted out in a
suit Of black trousers, white stock
ings. black cap and white shirt, on
the bosom OF which was inscribed,
Twin Cities" Last. but not least,
came Secretary McIIugh's appear
ance yesterday on the grounds with
white duck trousers. With all this
combination who could expect Rock
Island to win?
Omaha started in the first inning
to win, and before the third out had
been made it had rolled up seven
great large scores, while we in our
half secured but one. In the second
Hill got Il nit and stole second, and
Sage billed one at Hutchinson. but
ne made an error, letting Hill to
third. Doc" stole second and Lynch
flew out to Ulrick. and Sonier hit
one down to Hutchinson and was
thrown out at first. Hill started
home on the play and McEev pretty
nearly threw over the bleachers. and
Sage as well as Hill scored. That
settled it, for Sweeney fouled out to
Fear. For .Omalaugh" Seery got n
base on balls, McNev got a hit, plac-
ing Seery on the third peg. and stole
second. Hutchinson hit to Cantillon.

Big Bill Rourke hit one out to Joe
katz, and on his error Seery came
home. Pedros struck out and Me
Ney was caught mapping off third.
In the third Rock Island ciphered.
ditto cabbagehead-we mean .Oma-
smile" In the fourth Rock Island
ciphered, though it should have
done different. Omaha swelled its
lead one in the fourth on Hutchin-
sons home run. In the fifth it
. looked as if we would just settle the
loose dust with Omaha gore. Can
tillon got base on balls, Zeis hit
to Rourke. but that individual threw
at McNey as if he were an eight
footer, letting Cantillon to third and
Zeis second; Katz got a base and
Kreig base hit, and Cantillon came
home. Hill hit to third and Putty
was out at home; Sage hit to Looka-
baugh and Katz was out at home.
