KOukalik Gets Good Scars When BE Thinks
he Gan Let Down.
INDIANS START IN TO SCALP HIN
Eddie quick Pats I'm the Day for
seiee, but HIS ola Play
mates Find Him All
Right.

Omaha won the first game Of the present
series from Pueblo at Vinton street PARK
Friday afternoon before a well filed
grandstand of women who had come out
for two reasons; one, because IL was
ladies' Cay and the other because they
had heard that Eddie Quick was to pitch
for Selee. Quick has not struck his
stride at base ball this spring. He used
the gait he got onto at the roller rink
Lost winter and that is different from
base ball. Sam Crawford used the rink
as training quarters and seemed to round
to all o. X. in the spring, but not so with
Quick. Perhaps he worked harder at the
game than did wahoo Sam and IL is taxi
ing him longer to get over II. At any
rate he had no control of the ball, was
'hit for ten safe ones and walked nine,
which is enough to lose almost any ball
game.
Quick was always the ladies' man of the
omaha team, and Pa liked to trot him out
for the amusement of the women on
lsdies'' day, but II broke his heart yes
to-day to have Selee order him TO tho
fro1t. He knew he was I'm no condition
to pitch and he knew before he went in
he would be a shattered idol wheE he
came out and he was right. Koukalik, on
the other hand, had things all his own
way. Not a man hit him safely until
the fourth, and that was shugart with
two out and IL counted for nothing. sisler
made double In the sixth but u did him
no good, for he died right on the sack
Omaha had accumulated eight runs AMI
was that many to the good when Pueblo
came to bat in the seventh inning Kouka-
Xix decided he was far enough ahead to
leaf little and the hrst thing he knew
Old Man shugart had soused out a triple
Ellsworth hit high one to Fenlon, but
Shugart was too. foxy TO try to come
home and IT was we'll he didn't for Fen
Ion threw II straight as a die to Gondiny
In plenty OF time to have caught shugart.
Before Koukalik got back his speed after
his let-up Melchoir had brought shuBart
home with another triple and Meyers
struck out. Meyers is one of Selee's new
men and was loaned to him by Denver,
that team securing him from Louisville
Sister walked and then the sooinI favorite,
Eduardo Quick, hit the ball to the left
held fence for two. But then Eddie was
the heavy hitter on the Omaha team Last
year. Quick's double brought IN Fiske and
sisler. and Cooks single which followed
brought in Quick, making ive runs for
. this one inning, That was all Pueblo got
In the game.
Omaha's hrst runs were largely due to
the cratic work of sisler. who insisted
on throwing the bail away every time he
got good chance. He threw wild to
second and the ball went to middle field.
He threw wild to third and two men
scored. Quick also threw wild, all threw
wild, they seemed to have a case of rat
ties. Every Omaha player but Runkle
made hit and four Of them stole bases,
Runkle getting two. Fenlon got into the
game with two good hits and Lajoie
Gonding also got two. A double play was
pulled of by each team.
The same teams will play this after
noon and Sunday. Sunday the Rock Island
will run two excursions from the state
and the Illinois Central one from Iowa,
as far east as Fort Dodge
The score:
