The Babes grabbed the second game of the
series with the Millers yesterday after 1t
seemed a wee bit possible that the Schmelz-
ties might scratch out a victory. This in
teresting result has left the Babes in the
last hole in the column by only one point
and today they pull out-see II they don'tl
The Millers fought desperately to ward off
the inevitable result. but 1t was useless.
After Omaha had gotten two tallies to their
credit they went in and secured four. The
Babes allowed them to daily along with
p hope of victory in their breasts, but just
before the curtain went down they jumped
in and pulled the game out Of the fire.
That alone was enough TO make it an ex-
citing contest, and there were so many
times when 1t was possible for both sides
to score that the rooters were kept on the
hot edge all the time.
Norton went in to pitch for them, but he
remained but half an inning on account Of
a sore arm, McNeeley relieving him. Denny
Lyons bad finger still bothered him and
Fish took his place on first bag. Pa made a
mighty bad first baseman, too. Old Joe Dolan
was given a trial by Gus Schmelz and did
1airly well.
We started in at the first jump out OF
the box.
Dixon let Fleming's liner go through him
completely and "Old Search perched on

Eustace sacrificed him nicely to third and
, he scored on Roat's long fly to Lally.
We duplicated this performance in the
second. Reilly picked up Fishers grounder
all right. but he threw way above Letcher's
head and before the lanky first baseman of
the Millers got the leather, Fish was on
second. He went to third on Preston's sac
rife, and scored while Joe Dolan was
fumbling Holly's grounder. McCauley got
a base on balls, but Daub died on first al
Fleming few out.
a. Here the MilIers Lost.
' In the meantime the Millers got a man
to second in the first and another clear
around to third in the second, but they
failed to tally. In the third they went out
in one, two, three order and in our end,
after Eustace and Roat went out, Pick and
Fish both singled, but Preston could do no
more than send a long fly out to Campau.
But in the fourth they seemed to have us
going.
Daub juggled Campau's wee hit and let
him get first. The gray haired Italian stole
second and got to third on Reilly's hit. He
scored on DiXon's single. Reilly and Dixon
were both advanced a base by Davis's sac
rifce and both scored on Ritter's grasscut-
ter along the left foul line. McNeeley got
Ritter to second on his out to first and

man scored on Letcher's two-base hit. Lally
wound up the business by flying out.
That made the score 4 to 2 agin us, and
for four long innings we did nothing, al
though on occasions we came close to bust
ness. For example, we had two men on
bases in the third. fifth and sixth, but the
Millers were playing close to their belly
bands and would not let us over the plate
However, Danny Daub had settled down
after that little balloon ascension of his
and no harm was done.
1t was in the seventh that we undeceived
the Millers by sending Mr.. McNeeley w
in the clouds a little ways.
Elem started the business by making 9
hit and Eustace was given a free pass tc
first. Freddie Roat struck out, but Picker

with his second single and scored Eustace
Preston struck out, but Holly doomed VI

Cauley retired the side.
That made the score 6 to 4 in our fayo
and 1t remained that way to the end.
Yet for a single minute in the eight
they gave us a scare. 1t was Reilly's tim
