Omaha daily bee., 1895-05-03


Of Lodi There was sinister twinkle In his
blue eye and the FIRST ball Mr.. Nichols let 60
on he smote II until II yelped like a pug doE
J, was home run and my! how glad the
people were. LII
Mr.. Balsz was born In the glow OF wet
moon.
In their half the ouineys made their first
tally.
Mccormack made a two-bagger. and he was
good deal Of genuine courage for man
to appear humorous and sparkling after a
couple Of innings like Mac had played, and
they meant TO encourage him.
Boland brought him in on a bit and the eX-
citement ceased, as 30 was switched of at
second by Miles. Slagc made circus catch
Of Hlckey's fly and La Rocque fouled out to
our Pete.
TOUGH ON HARRY BRACKETT.
For the Walsh family a base on balls tc
Shafe. ar error by La ROGUE and a scien-
| tihc bunt by Lohman filed the bases. The
crowd was wild and so was Bracket He
arose from his seat and then sat down again
and when Nickols plugged Slagle with the
| ball and forced Shafe in he was seen in a
| heated controversy with himself What fu.
| turo generations may say about Mr.. Nichols
| Intelligence and craftsmanship ] know not
| but | am positive Colonel Brackets remarks
regarding his pitching ability will be any
| thing but complimentary.
Miles then hit to the pitcher and Willie was
| killed at the plate, and on Donnelly's hit tC
! Hickey like fate befell Pete; but still the
! bases were full, with Louis Napoleon once
moro at the bat
Nichols quaied before him. His throat
| was becoming parched and he had an indis
! tinct idea that he was not deportng himself
with that dignity and lucidity for which Mr.
| Bracket had hired him. He nerved himself
and aimed liner at Louis lett ear but Loui
was on the alert and he caught it whacl
| that LETT blue dado all around the horizon
of the park. 1t was only single, but botf
| Slagle and Miles scored
| The Ounces came right back with TIVE
runs and in the fourth, after Omaha hat
! garnered her seventh tally on hits by Shat
| fer, O'Brien and Lohman, they retaliateC
with COB Of three, within one Of tying tht
| score. But that was the nearest they evel
| came to accomplishing this feat, and after
| that they were not dangerous at any poin
| in the road. To clinch the thing, thu
Omahas gathered themselves together ono,
more in the seventh inning and fairly stuffed
| the early summer zenith with balls.
They had been finding Mr.. Nichols curve!
| with refreshing frequency. and in this inninl
Peter Lohman fitted to the willow like
! fair fragrant posy from the wildwood gler
| tom. He glued his great fawn-like eyes t
! the ball and rammed his club down its oper
| mouth. 1t burned hole in the middle o.
| the afternoon, and Petite flew over the uni
verse clear to first base, only to be forced
out at second by Slage. Paddy Miles sailed
| forth and welted the ball out into the east
where a cluster of lace-ike coudets noatet
as in a dream. He landed on second. Their
| lgnatus said something in a low cooinl
voice, and also leant up against the ball fol
a pair of bags. Balsz went to first on
tumble by Hickey, while Ulrich and Ole
Hutch hit for pillow apiece.
You should have seen Manager George
| Washington Brockett, and looked into tht
mysterious workings of his face. He hat
! been watching the Omahas bend forward ont
| after another and lambaste Mr.. Nichols will
| their terrible clubs, and when the Grasshoppel
! galloped in with the fifth run that was toe
| much. He wrinkled his brow up like the lie
! of hair trunk, and then sat down and buried
his face in his hands. He wept.
After the game was over Uncle Dave tool
1t up in his hands and caressed it like little
| red baby. He smoothed its curs and strokeC
It's cheeks, then he wrapped it up in an OLD
newspaper, took it home, and vanished il
and buried 1t behind the barn
In conclusion, let me repeat that It was
| great game and great championship open.
| ing. All of the Omahas played fine ball
| Miles coming in for an especial share oi
adulation. Old Hutch, too was much in ev.
| idence, and Ulrich, Lohman O'Brien and
| Shaffer Balsz's pitching was gilt-edged and
the umpiring of Mr.. Ward pareXcellence it.
self AS to the Quncys, they were consider.
ably of, yet it is evident that they are a
formidable aggregation, and will be up in
the race at the end. Score:
