Dodge pitched good ball and Omaha won
the opening game OF the series from Dem
yer Thursday at vinton street park By
punching three Of the Ave hits made on
Adams in the hrst inning. which, coupled
with Russelrs error Melted three runs
enough TO win the game.
The game was sort OF listless all the
way through, although there were many
interesting features and a few bitches
which reminded the fans Of the times just
past when the Des Moines team was visit
ing In Omaha. Belden tried 10 get little
obstreperous and went to the bench for
drink Of water while at bat. and when
Dodge pitched the ball over the plate In
his absence Davis called him out. II was
the third strike. Bill Everitt was omni-
present his new buff-colored bargain coun-
ter suit having been laid aside for a Den
yer uniform, 90 he could coach from the
side lines and parade his manly form be-
fore the grandstand.
LAwler played in hard luck. He had two
balls come right at him and then bound
out OF reach 20 he had no chance TO get
them and retire the runner. He covered
himself with glory in the seventh inning
when he ran backwards TO catch RUSSELL
Texas Lacquer. fell all over himself and
recovered IN time 20 catch the ball. 1t
saved run, for Randall had preceded
Russell with three-sacker, and the score
would have been tied had not the oil mag
nate ca ptured the bail in the phenomenal
fashion he did.
Denver has new second baseman in
the person OF one Donahue, who might hail
from Kerry Patch. He is about the
mouthiest man who has been on the
grounds for some time. He did not seem
TO bother Davis any. but kept chewing the
rag with his teammates for his own
blurders.
Denver made one run in the first inning
on walk by McHale. who was sacrificed
to second by Tommy Smith, and came home
when Russell hit down the third base line.
Perting had plenty OF time TO capture the
ball. but let It 60 in the hope that it would
roll outside Denver's other run was made
in the seventh inning after two were out.
Smith hit to left field and came home on
Randairs triple.
Omaha made three in the first inning. and

The game presented two lively FIRST base
men. Old Sport McHale covered the bag
IN good shape and took everything which
came his way, taking one pretty stop OF
LAWYERS drive in the sixth inning and re-
covering in time 10 throw to Adams. who
had covered the bag. Herman Long was
