OMAHA WINS The LAST GAME
Kansas City Gets an Awful Wallopping f.
Farewell Gift.
TWENTY-FIVE RUNS FOR THE HOME TEAM
GIBsOn Loses Game In First
inning and Cable Gets His bumps
Just ns Hard and
steady.

II one humiliation can wipe out two de-
feats Omaha is square with Kansas City
now. for the Rangers won the last game
of the series by a score Of % to l Friday,
batting an avalanche Of nineteen hits off
two net twirlers from the Kaw, and break
ing all tally records for the Western league
this season.
From start to finish the game was a COM
plete w~alkaway. Brown was throwing for
Omaha and was better than he has ever
been his life work. He could have won a 1
10 0 game on the work he showed, giving
one base on balls and allowing but two
hits till the ninth, a small single in the
third and another In the sixth. Brown
finally allowed Kansas City to score, how
ever, in the last inning, but 1t must have
been a bitter balm. Had rot Thomas been
taking a quiet snooze in middle field even
that run would never have come In. AS
Il was, with one out Miller singled and
Thomas let II go through him to the fence,
Dusty making third Oh the error. From
there Robinson's single past first base
scored him easily. The next two flew out
TO Stone. The Cowboys never had a shadow
Of a chance at any other time, only six
men seeing first base in the entire game.
one on a gift, one on an error of Carter's
and four on the hits.
A picture Of what the 0mahas did mean
while lie a multi-colored one. Everything
that mortal hitsmen can. do to mortal
throwsmen was perpetrsted by the locals.
There were two-sackers, three-baggers and
singles galore. There were innings with
every number Of hits from one to FIVE,
there were innings with all number Of
tallies from one to six, and there were
stolen bases till you couldn't count them.
Gibson Went wild.
Three thousand people were sitting tense
as the game commenced. 1t was acknowl-
edged to be a crucial time. But before a
single out had been made against the
Omahas the situation had shifted from a
struggle to a cinch. The wondrous Gibson
gave the first three men up their bases on
balls, and Stone batted the trio In with
a three-bagger. scoring with them himself
on Robinson's throw into the grand stand.
Before the side was retired Dolan's single
and Thomas three-bagger made two more
runs.
From that time on 1t was a case OF ac-
c~retions. In the third a single. two passed
balls and a double steal let Dolan in again,
and then Gibson was taken out in favor Of
Cable. The Rangers did not even give the

him in the fourth for Ave hits. meaning
i've runs. From then on the scores would
indicate a foot ball game. two came in
the sixth on two gifts and two singles,
fve in the seventh on five hits, and three
in the eighth on a single, double and triple.
Nichols' Crowd Fields Poorly.
The slaughter was pitiful. Kansas City
pitchers were not the only bum spoke in
the wheel. The team helded miserably, and
Bill Wilson stood out as the shining light
with four passed balls, an error and a lay
down, when he refused to chase the ball
to the grand stand and let Stewart round
four corners and score on his own single.
The omahas we're all energy. Dolan made
the record of the day with four hits, four
runs, four stolen bases. Wright made a
pair Of doubles and one for three sacks.
Genlns played a great game at third. 1t
was a hit and run game all the way, and
the big feature was the score, which reads:
