OMAHA WINS DOUBLE HEADER
ROurkS's Rangers Settle Saints First
DiViSisH Aspirations Effectively.
GOOD BALL PLAYING IN ALL DEPARTMENTS
BattInE, Base Running and Fielding
of the Home Tear Proves the
Highest of the Art and
wins Both Games.

-Four thousand fans evinced visible relief
and a certain exhilaration when Omaha won
both games Of the double-header with St
Joseph Saturday afternoon. The crowd was
on a strain, for the people realized that
further defeats Just now meant that the
Rangers we're surely on the toboggan. But
their confidence was not further shaken. BY
playing base ball that was just enough SUI
perior to that Of the Saints all the way
Omaha won by Z to 4 and then by 8 to 2.
II was apparent before the first game had
progressed an inning that every mar on the
diamond for both clubs was on his toes. All
we're fielding brilliantly and with speed, and
there was not a loafer In sight. Alloway
pitched the initial contest for Omaha, Chinn
operating for st. Joseph. and 1t was a beau
tiful race between them. Each gave three
bases on balls and made one wild pitch. The,
hits we're eleven of Alloway and twelve of
Chinn. The Saint struck out Eve men.
"Podge'' but one. And yet Omaha won with
room to spare. As one cause may be as
signed the fact the locals stole bases so
recklessly. Hits we're punched on both
pitchers, probably a little heavier on Chinn.
so, with six stolen bases to their credit, the
'omahans made hits good for runs all the
way.
Another cause lot the ulsCrepahCey ~
the score was that Chinn punched his bases
on balls In the second, passing Stewart and
Dolan to FIRST. with the two on bases Thomas
singled himself to first and filled the bags,
and then Gonding brought In all three with
a three-sscker to middle field fence, the
grand hit Of the day. He scored later on
Genins' single.
First Games Score.
St. Joseph scored with a base on balls, a
wild pitch, a single and a double in the
second, and took two more in the eighth on
a double and two singles. The score:
