First Game.
BY a splendid batfest in the opening In
ling the Champions made enough scores
20 win from Sioux City in the morning
glme on the glorious Fourth. A better
crowd than is usual at these morning
contests was on hand and enjoyed II
20 the fullest extent. There were many
new faces at the grounds at the morning
game, there being many fans in the city
who are not able TO get of during the
week and who are not permitted to wit
ness the Sunday events, so they never
n ISIS an opportunity to see the great ma
tional game on a holiday. They like to
make their presence felt and do so in
various ways. The cant put them over
n an was put 10 shame by some OF the
rlnting of these confirmed fans, who
know more base ball than the regular at
tcndants Fireworks cut quite a figure
also and there was scarcely time when
the utterances Of the umpire. usually so
distinct, could be heard at all.
Omaha made three runs In the opening
round and these were sufficient to win the
glme, as McCloskey pitched to the heavy
Lifting Sioux just the same as II they
we're from Schuyler and held them in
lis palm at all stages. After the first
two innings Newlin settled down and
tossed them in good shape, but the deed
was done and there was no use.
Thiel. the first Champ up. walked and
was sacrificed to second by the South
Carolina sleuth. from which place he was
hustled home~by Dolan's hard safe clout
down the third base line. welch followed
with a double to right, but Dolan only
reached third. Ottumwa Brown then made
himself solid with the fans by n safe one
to right which scored both Dolan and
Nvelch. In the second inning Newin
could not find the pan and when WEIGH
made him pitch four wide ones Thiel was
forced across the plate as three players
who had preceded Welch also walked.
Sioux City made her little souvenir tally
in the seventh inning, when Weed walked
and was sent home on Newton's double
to center
Carter was the hero of the day and the
fans had considerable fun at his expense.
He caught three hard ones in right be-
sides two easier chances, one of the hard
chances being when he pulled Noblit's fly
from the right field fence. The fans tried
to get him to acknowledge their applause,
but Nick refused to doff his hat, as he
had some sort of hair cut that he did
not wish to show. McCloskey allowed but
, three hits and passed but one Sioux to
first this pass spelling his shut-out In
the sixth inning Newlin pitched but three
balls to retire the Omahogs. The game
was not started until 1O:45 to permit the
field to become dry. Attendance, 200.
