BY fast finish in the ninth inning Omaha
won the second game from the Brewers n
the American association Sunday afternoon
at Vinton street park by the score Of TO
before the banner crowd OF the season.
The game was as pretty an exhibition AZ
one would wish to see and was only married
by a couple OF poor infeld throws by the
Brewers. Akin. a recruit from the Wis
consin league. was doing the slab work for
the Brewers and McNeeley started out for

for the last four innings. Three hits were
made OF the former hireling Of ON Burns
and three OF Koukalik. all Of the latter
being made in the first inning he pitched
and letting in one run. He then steadied
and no more hits or runs were made.
This same sixth inning was most remark
able, for three doubles and base on balls
were credited to the Brewers, and still they
scored but one. McChesney doubled and
scored on Beviles double Beville could
make but one base on Goodwin's double
and Bradley's out retired the side

Omaha made one in the seventh inning,
when Carter beat out a bunt toward third
and Howard hit safe 70 right. Bassey fol-
lowed with a single, on which Carter
scored In the ninth Koukalik struck out
and the fans began to think the chance 70
break the tie was gone. Carter. however,
gave fresh hope by hitting TO right for a
single and Howard again followed with a
single this time to left. Bassey hit a high
one TO middle field, which Nelson dropped.
and the bases were filled. Welch hit a
grounder to second and Carter was caught
at the plate, and all hope was now placed
in Cosey Joe. Dolan was there with the
goods and hit a corker TO left field. just
over the head Of the third baseman, and
the game was over.
The team showed up we'll before the $500
fans who had turned out the first nice
day to show their keen interest in the sport.
Many comments were heard on the way
Runkle and Perriug could throw them over
and the way Bassey could hit the ball and
