KICKING COSTS DUFFY A CANE
ObItinIoy on Part Of Mcpherson Results in
Easy Victory for Omaha
UMPIRE MORAN ASSERTS HIS AUTHORITY
Effects of the Angels to Monkey with
the Man who wields the Indi-
Gator Prove Expensive
in the End.

A little piece Of obstinacy on the part
OF the Angels in the fourth inning Sunday
demolished their chances OF winning the
second game with Omaha, and the Rangers
were victorious by 8 to 4. Because Pitcher
Mcpherson and his mates refused to play
ball when Moran said so, the umpire put
a couple Of locals on base by calling balls.
and a series Of hits that followed resulted
in seven runs for Omaha before the inning
closed. Till then the game had been a
grand contest. Twirlers owen and Nc
Pherson were on a wire edge, and neither
side had scored, each having but one small
hit. Eight thousand people we're out, and
they we're on a strain when Carter led off
the batting for Omaha in the fourth.
Just then Duffy asked Moran to clear
left field Of trespassing spectators, as the
crowd was not sufficiently large to make
their presence along the fence necessary.
Moran sent a policeman out, and after the
crowd was started toward the foul line
said, PLAY ball" But Mcpherson wished
to wait till the last man was across the
chalk, and said so.
mo, I'll not wait another minute" re-
sponded Moran, and then he called one
ball 20 Carter. Mcpherson got busy then,
but all he could do was to complete the
gift, putting Carter on first. This brought
Duffy and his cohorts running in to pro-
test, and as they surrounded Moran the
latter began calling balls to Wright, and
soon had him on base also.
That brought plainly before Duffy what
threatened him, and he began playing ball
again. Mcpherson threw the ball to Dolan,
who had been waiting at the plate all this
time. Joe poked out a single, and there
were three on base. Stewart came up and
Mcpherson hit him, forcing in Carter.
Amateur Harry WEIGH. Stones substitute.
followed with a single to left, and on a
very wild throw by o'Brien all four scored.
More Work for Undertaken.
This started pandemonium, and Thomas
added to 1t by following with another sin
gle. Then Gonding put the ball to short.
and on a play for Thomas at second both
men got safe. Owen sacrificed them ahead
one, and Genins batted to Cockman, who
fooled, letting Thomas tally and Frank to
FIRST.
Here the visitors again swarmed in for
q kick, and Mr.. Gatins demonstrated In
terms too forcible to please Moran. The
next minute Duffy was hunting for an
other shortstop, as the immediate incum-
bent was marching off the field under the
escort Of a policeman. Duffy then decided
that II was no use to beef longer, and he
put his team back to work a second time.
O'Brien was pulled in to short, Nc
Wicker was sent from right to left, and
Evers put in right. The Omahas were
finally cut off, but not till Gonding had
scored. This lead OF seven runs was fur
Their increased by Omaha in the seventh,
when Carter scored the only earned run
on his double, followed by another OF the
same kind by Wright. Another came in
the eighth on Thornton's amazing error
and Gonding's single.
The Angels started out in the fifth to
overtake that figure seven, but 1t was use-
less. In the sixth two hits and an error
by Gonding gave them one, and in the
eighth two singles, a hit by pitched ball
and errors by owen and Welch allowed
three more. But that was all.
Fielding features were not many Harry
WEIGHS catch in the seventh being the
notable one, while Carter and Stewart did
great work. Score:
