OMAHA HITS ARE SCATTERED
Denver Wins First Game by Touching Al
lOway at oppOrtune Times,
UMPIRE ALSO HELPS THINGS ALONG
Contest starts Out with All Indica-
lions of a Pitchers Battle, but
the Vision soon
Fades.

DENVER. June 1A-(special Telegram.)
Omaha was beaten today in the first
game OF the series in Denver. The Ne
braska players we're lively in the field,
but after the first inning the Denver bat
tiers connected with Alloway in a way that
kept the helders more than busy. White
ridge. on the other hand, was able to keep
the hits Of the visitors pretty we'll scat
tered. Moran's umplring was not at all
satisfactory to the Omaha aggregation and
several of his questionable decisions came
at critical times and figured in the score.
The two teams are now neck and neck in
the race for the pennant and the keen in
terest In the game brought out an unusually
large attendance.
The work Of Whiteridge in the box was
the feature Of the game. Several times
Omaha had the bases well filed, but hits
at the right time to bring in runs we're
lacking. Whiteridge's judgment was fully
up 10 the standard Of his pitching. In the
nrst inning the outlook was for a pitchers
battle. Denver got one hit and Omaha none.
In the second a hit, a base on balls and a
batter hit by a pitched ball filled the bases
for Denver. Jack Mcconnell then placed
one between Stone and Hickey in short
left, Dundon came across the rubber with
tho FIRST run for Denver. Davis tried to
get to third, but was caught a few feet
from the bag. Whiteridge came to the bat
and placed one in left that sent Radcliffe
home.
Omaha failed to find an opening in White
ridges delivery until the fifth. while Den
yer kept on connecting with Alloway with
great regularity. Radcliffe knocked out a
home run in the fourth, while Frisk did the
same thing In the sixth, which was the
longest hit ever made on the local grounds.
Gonding on a double by Carter in the fifth
made the first run for Omaha. Carter scored
on a single by Calhoun. The Omaha first
baseman hit out to Frisk in the sixth, but
the latter misjudged the ball and Carter
was allowed to go home. Attendance, 1000.

WHEN THE POLICE PLAY BALL
Mayor MOOres win Umpire the Game
at VintOn Park Next
Thursday.

At the vinton Street park Thursday after
noon the relative merits as ball players OF
the married and unmarried men on Chief
Donahue's force will be tried. The game
is the result Of the Boosting on the part
Of several OF the force" regarding the
games OF ball they use to play on the lots
when they were uniformed in bare feet
and sunburned backs.
Mayor Moores has consented to act as
umpire for the game and on disputed points
will probably have the advice OF the Board
OF Fire and Police Commissioners and the
city council. the members Of both organiEa-
lions to be present. There Will be q
charge OF rs cents for admission and the
money thus raised will go to swell the
auditorium fund.

GORDON IS NOT WITH OMAHA
Young Lawyer Did Not Accompany
the Team on It's Denver
Expedition.

1t is probable that Eddie Gordon, the law
student, will not be on the pitching stan Of
the Omaha team this season. He did not
join the club at Lincoln when the boys went
through there Friday night on their way to
Denver, although the original Intention had
been for him to do so. Gordon will not be
with the team on the present trip in any
event, and perhaps not at all. Rourke may
decide to give him one more try during the
next series at home, but this is not certain.
Meanwhile the club Will continue with
four pitchers unless an unusually good
chance to pick up a valuable man comes
along. Rourke is not exactly looking for
another twirler, but will accept an oppor-
tunity to secure a crack man. He has in
tended from the first to run hve throwers,
and while he can get along fairly well with
four, would not object to the full quintet.
AS far as other players are concerned,
Rourke is not hunting for any more just
now. as he says he has the full quota
