Omaha bangs Pop EyIer In the ola
style, while lincoln is Unable
to Get Any on YOUNG
Corns.

Omaha fans really felt sorry for the 1000
loyal rooters who came from Lincoln to
zee Pop Eyler win his game, but neverthe-
less they all felt II incumbent upon them
selves to assist in breaking the Eyler
hoodoo which that elongated slab artist
was trying to again fasten upon the Omaha
team. The game was won by the score OF
2 TO 0. Carter making both the runs for
omaha. and the 1000 in attendance who
aid not come from Lncoln were correspond
insly happy. for they had witnessed as
good A ball game as it often becomes the
lot OF a fan TO see.
Corns and Gonding were in the points
for Omaha. Considerable had been eX-
pected from the new southpaw, but no one
thought he would go into his initial gamo
in fast company and pitch what was prnc-
tically a no HIT no run game. The only
ball which could be scored as a hit against
him was in the last inning. when Barton
hit one at Perring which was a tribe 100
hot for that helder to handle. Corns was a
little wild, and experienced difficulty at
times Ia putting the ball over the plate,
but At that he passed but Ave and hit one.
The Eyler hoodoo is vanished for this
season, and no longer does the Rourke
family stand in dread fear Of the terrible
Pop. He was hit for seven safe ones,
walked one and hit Runkle and WEIGH. The
Lincoln fans were loyal TO Pop to the very
last and kept, UP such continuous roofing
that the telegraph operator could not hear
his instrument. The two specials, one on
the Rock Island, starting at Fairbury, and
the other on the Burlington from Lincoln.
brought nearly 1900 rooters for the Lincoln
team and most of these were in the grand
stand
Game Lively All the way.
AT no time was the interest in the game
allowed to wane, for something was doing
all the time. Lincoln was blanked in the
first inning, but Omaha made one. Carter
walked, stole second and came home on
weleh's hard drive to right field. Carter
made the other Omaha score in the third
inning, starting with double, and coming
home on Dolan's drive to middle field for
a single.
Lincoln fans thought the team was play
ing in hard luck on several occasions, but
the hard luck was due to fast fielding by the
Omaha players. In the fourth inning Lin
coin had the bases filled with no one out.
Collins, the next man up, hit the ball to
Corns. who got it to Gonding in time to
catch Quillin at the plate. Barton, the
newly arrived second baseman, who is a
pocket edition OF Mig Perrine. soaked a
hard liner right at Perring. who got the
ball in his claws and then touched third,
making double unassisted.
Omaha had six men up in the fifth inning
and did not score.
Barton booted Basseys Erounder and
Thomas did the same for Carter, when
Wech sacrificed each on for base. Do
ian struck out and Runkle was hit with
the ball. filling the bases. Perring hit the
ball in front of the plate and Zinran made
the put out. Fillman made a grandstand
stop in the sixth inning Of Bassey 6
grounder which crossed over second base.
He whirled and caught the runner at first
so the umpire said. At any rate it was a
pretty pickup.
