ROurkes Make Seven Error, Wills Dss
Noines Wins the Game.
RNEELEY HOLDS OFF FOR TEN INNINGS
Locals Play Erratic Ball and
Are Unable to DO Anything
with Pitching of Mr.
Cicotte.

There are some things that should never
be told. But
Rourke's osslhed orphans made another
show of themselves out at vinton street
park against Des Moines, the performance
lasting ten innings because Des Moines
could not bat McNeeey effectively so long
as he was given anything like support.
But in the tenth when Bender and
Bassey made two errors the Cham
pions, with the aid of three hits and
base on balls, piled up three runs, win
ming to l. Bender had a chance for
a neat double by which he might have re-
tired the side without a run, but instead
of stepping on second with the ball in his
hand, he tried to throw it to Howard,
about two feet away. and that caused the
mess. Bassey's error was holding a ball
and watching a man score when he should
have thrown him out.
Aubrey married a brilliant game by a wild
and needless throw to Runkle. But It was
pardonable as he was trying TO make a
double play. He made one beautiful throw
from right to first after catching fly on
a desperate run and finished double.
IL Errors should BE Runs.
Seven errorsi II Omaha could only Sc
cure a special dlSpenSation curing TINS
Des Moines series so that 1t could count
It's errors against the Champions runs
the home team might have some show of
getting a game, but it looks bad other
wise, especially as long as Umpire Lynch
continues unable to distinguish ball from
a strike and vice versa. Brother Lynch
also made couple of base decisions yes
terday which were disastrous to Omaha:
McNeeley started things off in the first
innirg rather mixed On the first six balls
pitched he struck out the first two men
and then he passed two, but though a hit
was made in addition. no run was scored.
Omaha could do nothing with Cicotte.
Repeatedly 1t lost fine chances Of scoring
by being unable to hit. It's only look-in
was In the sixth inning Bassey led of
with corlSing three Dagger, Howard went
out and Perring nailed the ball in center
for another three Dagger, scoring Bassey
Perring attempted to score on a grounder
