SCHlPKE'S HOME RUN WINS
sluggsr Bill Lands Ball Over Fence with
Thomas Ahead.
LEADERS AGAIN BOW BEFORE CHAMPIONS
McCIOskey Pitches Beautiful Game
Against Hard Hitting Underwater,
Allowing but FOur widely
Scattered Hits.

slugger Bill schipke came TO the front
in the game at Vinton Street park Tues
day afternoon and put the ball over the
fence at the time It was needed, and
drove Thomas home in front Of him so that
the ice was broken and the Champs went
ahead and won by the score Of to !. Two
we're out in the lucky seventh when
Thomas walked, and then the crowd
cheered as slugger Bill walked to the front
with the stride of winner. Picking out
a good one he smashed IT right on the
nose to left field, so that It hit the rise
of ground and bounded over the fence.
McCloskey shared the honors with Slug
ger Bill, but he realized that it was
Lucky Bill and slugger Bill all in one and
when he got in pinch at the finish he
would toss the ball TO Lucky Bill just to
drive away the hoodoo.
McC1oskey pitched a beaut OF a game,
passing none and allowing but four hits,
while he struck out seven Of the hard
hitting Underwriters. Although Morrison
seemed to weaken toward the finish, Mac
was stronger than ever and kept Spotty
Freese on the jump to hold the piledriver
like shoots that were coming over the
plate. Butch had his thumb put out of
Joint seven times and was hit in the head
a couple Of times, but that did not Tease
the butcher, for his team was winning
from the leaders.
In sliding for home In the fourth inning
Thiel wrenched his knee so that he had to
retire from the game. Sanders taking his
place. This is an old knee, the players
say, and It is impossible to tell how long
It will keep him out of the game.
Leaders Score First.
1t looked bad for the Champs right from
the jump when Martin fumbled the first
ball that Ganley hit. Hoggie sacrificed
him on to second. This was the best that
Hoggie has done in the hitting line since
the team arrived in Omaha on this trip
Long struck out and Rossman the Ter
ribe hit a hard one to Thiel, which the
latter let glide safely through his legs
while Ganley scored.
That was all that the Hawkeyes did
in the way of scoring, but for six innings
1t looked to be enough, for the Champs
were unable to get a man beyond first
Then came the lucky seventh.
When Omaha Won the Game.
Dolan and WEIGH had been retired in
the seventh when Thomas drew four wide
ones and went to first. Then 1t was that
Slugger Bill did his little stunt that gave
him in return large applause from the
grandstand, a package of gum from
Gerke's expert importation and a few dol
lars That was not all, for Martin got
the fever and also hit safe, and while the
Long family was holding a council of war
he stole second. Spotty Freese hit a hard
drive at Long, who made pretty stop,
but threw too low to first and Martin came
home on the miscue.
Not satisfied with this lead the Champs
annexed two more in the eighth. Sanders
flew out to Caffyn and Carter hit safe.
,Dolan hit for two sacks to the right field
fence and Carter came on home. WEIGH
popped one to Long, but Thomas hit safe
to middle and scored Captain Joe.
GOndinE a Good Umpire.
Gonding was thorough success as an
umpire and his clear ringing voice was a
marked contrast to the mutterings which
are sometimes given out by the umpires.
Babe Towne officiated with him, but his
voice was not in the same class with
Johnny.
The same teams will play this after
noon at the same place. Score:
