Teams I'm = TanEle, but Does
Not ARect General
Results.

Omaha won yesterday mornings game
from Des Molnes on two pitchers by a score
OF 8 to 2. First the locals won from Hoffer
I'm four innings by 2 to o. Then. because
that twirler beefed so continually on
Umpire Abbott's ball and strike judg-
Sments, he was put out OF the game BY
that o11cial. Morrison was substituted to
start the fifth and Omaha won from him
4 to 2, batting him all over the lot in the
eighth inning.
Rourke's men put up a game far SUI
spsrior to that Of Sunday. The morning Is
ttraditionslIy a poor time Of day for base
ball players and n cool one Is still worse.
However, there was a spunk and a KEEN
ness about most OF the work of the
iOmahans that was good to see. II seemed
as II they couldn't do enough to suit them
selves. The sole unpleasant feature was
lsquabbling with the umpire, Of which there
WAS much by both teams, but especially
lby Quinn and his crowd.
This Is the nrst time an umpire has had
much trouble in Omaha since the crusade
lagainst the fraternity was on a couple Of
months ago. But IL should be said In ex-
teenuation that Abbott was very yellow in
several cases. Once or twice a man was
out when he was fairly Flying on the bag"

One Of Thomas Freaks
There was one ridiculous feature. In
che seventh. Thomas. stood on first and
Gonding sacrificed him to second with q
ball along first base line. Abbott called
che ball a foul and Thomas was brought
back. Gonding Immediately put another in
the same place and Thomas was down to
second with It, but came back when he

sure Abbott would say foul" again. So
Gonding was out, with a sacrifice hit to his
credit that wasn't a sacrifice. as Thomas
was still on first. He came near getting
caught coming back, and the people were
treated to the unusual spectacle Of seeing
a nan dash mRdly for FIRST base the wrong
way around.
Graham gave three hits and pitched ball
plenty good enough to win most Of the time.
In the ninth. however. an error by Dolan,

one single and a long ny let In two runs
for Des Moines. With q beautiful catch OF
. line fly. Stone nipped the visitors only
other chanc in the bud. This was in the
eighth. when Graham grew very careless
and after two outs put two men on bases
with four balls each. Clark's single made
It three and the strong hitter. o'Leary,
was at bat. At that time Omaha had but
two runs and It looked very gloomy.
o'Leary hit out over the innelders, q low,
hard drive. Stone ran like a deer and
took It at his knees. The crowd went wild.
Omaha scored in the fourth with two
singles ana a hit by pitched bail, Thomas
beautiful single bringing in both tallies. In
the eighth Dolan's double and singles by
Garter, Genins, Thomas and Gondlne
amassed four more. omaha had heap hits
all the way. Dolan throwing in q beautiful
triple in the sixth that counted for moth

200 people saw the game. The secret
