Tribe After Long Fight
FULL OF ERRORS AND HARD HITTING
Two Pitchers From the Home Team

Battered for Many
Satellites.

Before 5000 fans ana enthusiasts the Des
MONIES team took the second game OF the
series from Omaha after twelve innings of
fast and exciting pay by a score Of 5 TO &
For the first few innings II IooLeI a. II
yesterdays play had taken all OF the gin
ger out OF everybody, and they 1elded
loosely and comported themselves In a
manner anything but handsome. Omaha
played a magnificent game In the nel1
after the score was tied In the sixth and
supported Bruner well. But the Rourk ties
were weak at the stick and did not seem to
be able to hit the ball when a hit would
bring in a run. II was distinctly a battle
Of the batters and honors were about even.
Johnson was put in the box in the be-
ginning of the game and started out by
giving the first two men up free passes to
first. Then Towne hit the ball to Patter-
son and went out at first, while the other
two advanced a base. O'Leary was up
next and he waited patiently and drew a
third pass to first. Meanwhile a ball got
through Thomas and one man scored and
another came in on a wild pitch. Things
looked dusty and Bruner was substituted
in the box. Quinn Immediately singled ana
brought in a run, but that was the last OF
the run-gettlng for the inning.
ROurkes Gather Some Runs.
In the third the Rourke family got their
first run, Thomas gurgling over the plate
on a base on balls, a single and an error
by Backof in leftield. In the next inning
Preston started 1t out right by laying the
ball out in rightheld for two bags. Wright
dubbed one over to O'Leary and was gu!
at first by a mile. Then Dolan, Stewart
and Patterson all drew singles and Preston
scored In a blaze of glory. Thomas drove

he dropped 1t and Dolan came in. Things
looked prosperous for Omaha, but Bruner
struck out and Stewart was caught trying
70 steal home while Patterson was getting
to second.
In the nth they got another when two
men we're out. Wright drove the ball way
out in the sun garden and gained three
bags on IL and came In on an error of Dur
KEGS. That was the last of the scoring for
Omaha, although several times they looked
as II they had an easy getaway. In the
TENTH they got three men on bases. with no
one out, and let themselves be counted out.
The Quinn crank got the score that tied
in the sixth on a single OF o'Leary's and a
whacking double Of Quinn's. In the eighth
they had a man on FIRST and one on third
when Fohl knocked a foul over near the
south bleachers and Wright caught him
out after a long run.
Horror of the Twelfth.
The twelfth was an unhappy one for the
Rourkeites. Bruner delivered the first man
up a pass and then he crept around to third
on a sacrifice and a helders' choice and
came in on a single by Backon. That was
the run that won the game.
The same teams play today at Vinton
street. Henderson will pitch for Omaha
and Feeney for the visitors. On Sunday
Papa Bill will try Milton, the new man
'front.' the .stlLoufs Nationals, who has
been added to the bevy of wingers. He is a
daisy II his record against Chicago tho
other dav is any criterion. Score: d.
