Locals Take Last Of Series from Dss Moines
and Peace Reigns.
cANTIlLoN NEVER LETS OUT A wHIWPER
War sanders Pitches Great Rail
and weIch Knocks Timely Home
Run over Right Field
Fence.

IL the 200 fans who journeyed to Vinton
Street park Thursday afternoon did so with
the idea Of seeing Cantilloh continue tho
rowdyism he had started Tuesday they
were disappointed, for a more peaceable
game was never played, the contest being
waged strictly on it's merits and the best
team won by the score of 2 to l. Can
tillon sat on his players bench as meek
a lamb and the only way the specta-
tors were aware OF his presence was by
the continual glances which Pitcher Miller
kept casting longihgiy in that direction in
the hope that Mike could start something
which would pull him out OF the defeat
which stared him in the face and which
was sure to come from the time when
Dr. WEIGH hit the sphere over the right
field fence for as pretty and timely a home
run as one could wish.
Miller, who was IN the box for the Cham
pions. pitched good ball, but man was
pitching against him who was throwing
them over in better form than he and his
team mates could do nothing toward get
ting the runs which are necessary to win
ball games. Miller posed like an Adonis
and every time Keefe called a ball he
would look appealinsly- toward Cantillon,
but the only noise which came back from
the bench was the disturbance raised by
CantillonB alligator socks, which he dis
played with much pride.
In the sixth inning, when Bassey started
out with a triple and was followed soon
after by DOlan and Rumble with singles,
Miller quit turning to the bench, for he
feared the look Of scorn which would be
cast upon him by the mighty Mike
Sanders was sent forth by Pa to put
few crimps in Des Moines and right we'll
did he do 1t, allowing but three hits, pass
ing none and hitting but one man. San
ders is in fine condition this spring and
has pitched some phenomenal, ball. In the
four games I'm which he has participated
on the home ground he has passed but one
man. Sanders struck out two in the first
inning, the last man up. welday. being
caught for the third strike by one of Wars
quick returns.
The game started out fast. but three
men to an inning on either team coming
to bat until the third when Des Moines
scored its only run on Andreas' double,
sacrifice by Magoon and a scratch hit to
right field by Miller.
Omaha's first run was made in the fourth
inning by Welch's drive over the right
field fence. Hoggie tried to climb the fence
TO stop it, but to no avail, for It cleared
II so far he could not have touched II with
a ladder. The second run came along in
the sixth inning. Bassey led on with the
three-base drive to the big beer sign and
came home on the throw in of welch's
hy to Hoggie Dolan and Runkle followed
with singles, but Perring struck out and
Gonding popped an easy one to Andreas
Des Moines threw a little scare into the
locals in the ninth when Sanders hit Caffyn
on the shoulder and schipke sacrificed him
on to second. The next two men up few
out on long drives to WEIGH.
Today will be ladies' day, with Selee and
his Pueblo Indians for the attraction.
