omaha's ball team fully fulfilled the prom
be conveyed In a weeks victories by Civ
ing Duffy's Angels a 10 to 1 drubbing in
their first meeting at Vinton street park
yesterday. The Badgers have been the
feared aggregation of late, and this de-
oided trouncing has given the Gate City
fans a still stronger faith In their cham
pions.
The game was won in the first inning,
and two of the Angel twirlers were slaugh-
tered in the process. To go any further
without telling about Thomas two home
runs would be to err sadly, for they were
the batting feature in a game replete with
wonderful sticking, and besides that, his
FIRST one scored three OF those nve runs
made in the first inning. II was a beautiful
hit, and the longest seen on the grounds
this year, crossing left field fence with
much room to spare we'll along toward
middle. Then the smash zane at such a
timely moment. Kenna, in the box, had
5ust finished allowing two doubles and Civ
ing a base, besides giving Stewart a three
ball start on another, Duffy stopped OPP
~erations and called in Frickeh 20 put an
end to the avalanche. Fricken gave Ace
his fourth ball, and then Thomas came to
bat, and the next minute he was following
Dolan and Stewart over the home plate.
From then on 1t was just a matter Of
billing up scores. In the fourth q base on
balls, Juicy errors by Gatins and Cockman
and a single hit by Stone brought three
more runs, and in the NTH, three singles
and a double by Gonding brought another.
In the seventh Thomas was first man to
bat, but that did not deter him from
slamming out his second hit for a circlet.
The bali went to the fence at right center.

It had enough.
Brown Pitched Good Ball.
Meanwhile Brown was invincible. as far
as the making of more than one hit to an
inning was concerned, and with Milwaukee
the game had early been transformed
from an attempt to win to a frantic effort
to score. Thomas error in the seventh
finally gave the desired chance. Bone
started the affair with a hit, which Hama
ford duplicated. Then Brown gave Fricken
his base. and there were three men on
sacks.
This lust offered a nice little opportunity
for Mordecai to show what was in him,
and he proceeded to take advantage OF 1t.
with his usual imperturbable nerve he let
O'Brien bat a foul to Gonding, and then
compelled Cockman to land a nice grounder
in Joe Dolan's hands near second base.
Joe touched the bag and damned the
ball to Thomas. for a double, but Tommy
was anxious, and dropped 1t, so there
were only two outs. and Bones unearned
run counted when he crossed the rubber.
The next man, Mcvicksr. few out. Browns
work at the crisis was smooth.
Hickey melted a spasm OF wonder by
making three swell singles, and Stones
single, double and triple were by no means
eyesores. II anything could surpass the
way the locals batted 1t was Browns field
ing. Every batted ball Of four which he
handled correctly was one he had no
excuse at all to touch. but by some mar
velous kangaroo jumps Mordecai landed
them all. A grand crowd OF 4'5OO people
was out to see It all. Score:
