OMAHA'S CANE ALL THE WAY
MilliOnairss Never in the Fight, Save u
Chase the Leather.
ALLowATS FINE PITCHING THE FEATURE
Seven Thousand People watch ths
Application of a Coat Of white
wash to Tommy Burns
Money Burners.

Seven thousand gaily attired Sunday fans
witnessed the perfect pitching Of "Podge"
Alloway at Vlnton Street park yesterday
and cheered Justify as the merry-faced
twirler tantaliEed the Millionaires from
Colorado Springs from inning to inning
and finally sent them to the stables with a
white coat as against 6 satisfying tallies.
Alloway's work and the great crowd we're
the features of the day, though there we're
others. The crowd may have been a record
breaker. but "Podge's' pitching was not
for him, as at Milwaukee early in May he
held the Angels to the same stingy trio Of
hits that Bill Everitts gang scored yes
terday. Thus were defeated the sarcastic
prophesies of those who said that Alloway
could never do anything like that at home.
All the way the game wal ~overwhelh-
tngly omaha's. but such srand base ball
was played by Rourke's men that the vast
assemblage went into spasms after an
eestacy of Joy. The contest just showed
what little license Colorado Springs has to
win any games from Omaha. O~ut-batted,
out-batteried. out-helded, out-disciplined,
the M~illionaires were not in the running at
any time.
That same assemblage. too. deserves a
second mention. With the grandstand one
vast embrace and the bleachers packed even
tighter, the crowd wasn't satisfied even
with that, and about 1000 more of the
pleasure-seekers sprawled out in front on
the grass, and clear around the outheld
fence in the shadow Of the braces. 1t BOXED
for a while as II Rourke would not even
have a diamond left to play on, but by
getting a line Of policemen to squeeze the
crowd back the foul lines we're Just about
cleared. Luckily there were no line fouls
nor wild pitches, nor passed balls. Any
such loose leather would certainly have
meant a big killing, for the people filled
the paddock, quartcr-stretch and scorers
box, and then climbed on top Of the play
ers' hoods.
Two Great Catches.
Ed Hickey made the catch of his life on
Drennan's line hit in the seventh, for which
the third baseman went away up into the
clouds on a lefthanded slant. Drennan't
running reception of Dolan's fly in the
sixth was another big feature. Dolan took
batting honors OF the day by making two
doubles, one in the first inning after tive
outs that brought In the first two and the
winning runs. another in the third. Both
were timely, as two men were on bases
each time.
