While nine Saints disguised as ball play
ers clustered around with every nerve
astrain to foil him, diminutive Peter Burg
.toddled to the plate in the eleventh inning
at vinton Street park yesterday and batted
in the run that won for Omaha a game,
which his own mischance earlier in the
day had seemingly lost. BY a score Of 6
to 8, the conquerers. of Comiskey's White
Stockings and the Pittsburg National leag-
uers, succumbed to the Rourke Rangers in
their first meeting.
Fifteen hundred people we're gathered to
watch the fray, which was sensational from
the outset, hrst because Of the early scor-
ing, later because Of the tied tally, which
ran along seemingly never to be broken.
Keener competition was never seen, and
the rivalry became so fierce towards the
end that even staid old Cap" Stewart
was projected into a state Of perfect frenzy,
No lover Of base ball could ask for more
than was dished out on that smooth clay
patch. The very best twirling that st.
Joseph can muster, represented by Maupin
and Parvin, was on duty for the accession,
but Omaha's own clever John" Brown
more than held his own against the two
cracks for the whole journey, and gained
added local fame in the doing.
In the seventh inning Omaha had them
s to 4, when Pete Burg fell down in climb
ing the left field bunker to get Robes ny,
which was promptly transmitted into a
tw~o-bagger, scoring Ball. Then 1t became
heartrending. Inning after inning each
team strained to get a tally, but st. Joseph
had entered Parvin in the sixth, and Pas
Pets" could not find him for a single hit In
Ave innings, while they continued to field
the visitors to repeated shutouts in fine
form.
But the spell was broken in the last half
OF the eleventh, when Hickey and Brown
hit safe and Burg batted out the single
that "Brung Hickey home" Dolan, Hickey
and Burg batted magnihcently all day, as
did Robe and Hartman. Score:

LtPERS ALLOWED TO RUN At LARGE
Parents warned 90 Keep Children
out of the streets for Fear of
Coming Into Contact
with Disease.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, March 19.-(Cor-
respondence OF the Associated Press.)-The
Commercial, a daily newspaper published
here, declares In a recent issue that leprosy
has been developed to an alarming extent
among the people Of western Nicaragua,
particularly in Leon and C~hinendega.
A prominent newspaper Of Leon warns
parents against permitting their children
to go on the streets Of the town for the
fear Of unknowingly coming into contact
with lepers, all of whom are licensed to go
where they please and beg.
About fifteen years ago il was estimated
that the number Of leperous persons in
Nicaragua was about 200. At the present
time their number beyond the secondary
stage Of the disease is placed at from $500
to 1000.
Many Political Arrests Made.
The Democracia, the daily semi-oficial
organ Of the government, published an
article a short time ago, evidently endeav-
oring to explain why so many prominent
citizens have recently been imprisoned in
communicate in the penitentlary at Managua
by the order Of President zeleya.
1t said, in substance, that about two
weeks ago a rumor was circulated in the
town Of Granada that a citizen OF that
place had received a newspaper from
Panama, Colombia, on the margin OF which
was written In pencil, supposedly by En-
rike Guzeman. an expatriated political OPP
ponent Of President zelaya:
Listen to the cadence. Put your ear to
the drum. The storm approaches. Watch
and pray.
AS a result OF this report many persons,
including some men of wealth and iniu-
ence, who are not in harmony with Presl-
dent Zelaya, were arrested and placed in
the penitentiary. 1t is currently reported
that those persons imprisoned for political
causes will soon be forced to pay large fines
in order to obtain their release, as the
Nicaraguan government is in distressing
need Of money.
