ROGER AND JOE TOO MANY
Fine Pitching and Bad Umpiring Down
Omaha Once More.
cANTllL0N DISHEARTeNS DANNY DAUB
Decision on Balls and strikes Gives
the Babes Twirler n Bad Case
Of Don't Cnr~-How the
Game Went.

Big Roger Denzer and Umpire Cantillon
had the Babes at their mercy yesterday
afternoon and It was only because OF "Rab-
bit" Hollingsworth and his trisocker that we
were not shut out. The Saints captured the
first of the series by the score Of I to 2.
Danny Daub had another streak Of hard
luck, superinduced again by Joe Cantillon's
rotten umpiring. The Comiskey outfit made
one hit off of him up to what ought TO have
been the end of the third inning. Two men
were out and Burke was at the bat with
|, two strikes on him. Daub sent one that
cut the plate in the middle and Burke was
ready to sit down when Cantillon called
"baH." Burke promptly damned the next
ball out for a single.
That was enough to dishearten any
twirler and it had its effect upon Daub. An
avalanche of hits followed. How much
longer we will have to stand for such a tim
plate imitation of umpiring is becoming a
glowing question in Omaha base ball circles.
OF course, we might not have won even
II Daub did start out to pitch a winner, for
d. Colonel Denzer was several kinds of puzzles
to every man on the team except the 'rab-
Y Bit Holly slashed out three of the six
Ahits we got, and one was a beaut of a three
Dagger that saved the shut out. Denzer
was speedy and his benders were too much
for tho boys.
We drew horse collars up to the last in
ming. In the second Lyons, who got a base
by being hit, advanced as far as second. In
the third Pick got a base on -Gillen's wild
throw to first and stole second and third,
but was caught trying to come home on a
ground hit. In the sixth Fleming got a
base on balls, stole second and got to third
on Spies wild throw to catch him at sec
ond. In the second he got to second on an
other base on balls after two men were out.
But we did not get even . smell OF a tally
until the ninth.
In the last round Pick was thrown out
! at first. Lyons banged out a hit. Preston
made another single on a slow grounder TO
Glenalvin, who went after the leather like
a spawned horse. Then Hollingsworth came
up and poked out a three-bagger between
left and center and scored both Lyons and
Preston. He was left there, as McCauley
died at fist and Butler ditto.
They commenced scoring in the third,
Gillen, the first man up, made a two-base
hit. Spies few out tc Lyons and Oar
struck out Derzer. After Burke ought to
have been called out on strikes. he banged
out q single that brought Gillen home. Mil
Ter scored Burke with a double and Glen
alvin was presented with a sack. On Nc
Cauley's wild throw to catch Miller at Sec
ond. the runner went to third and Glenalvir
got to second. Beth came in on Glasscock's
single. Gier went out at first.
Gillen made a thsee-bagger in the fourth
with Butler in the box. but was caught a
the plate. In the fifth. however,, Butler wa:
touched up pretty hard. Denzer made a hit
but was forced out at second by Burke. Mil
Ter came up, though, and poked out a hom'
run, the ball being lost in the grass in thu
deep northwest corner of the park. Glass
cock made a two-bag hit after that, blu
1t did not count.
The sixth was one, two, three, but in TIL
seventh Burke and Miller both made hit!
and tho former scored ON chickering's muf
OF Glenalvin's easy fly.
TIL whole thing simply went to prove tina
the Saints have no license to beat us, an
1t is at least certain that w would hav
given them a closer run If we had had al
even shake. It's a good bet we have swee
revenge this afternoon. Score:
