DODGE MANAGES TO STAY ON THE EARTH
weIch with -Four and GOndinE and
Howard Three Hits Each
Lead ut the Terrible
swatfest.

Willie Stecker Of Louisville, an outcast
from Tebeaus team. was Mr.. Easy Mark
for Pas Colts at Vinton street park Sum
day afternoon and the boys took occasion
to fatten their batting averages while they
were winning from Denver by the score
OF to 8. He was lambasted all over the
lot. welch making four beauties and
Howard and Gonding three each, still Old
Man Everitt made him stay in and take his
medicine. At that he had 1t on some of
the Colts and passed but two while he
struck out eight, including three times for
Perring. Dodge evened up on that score
by striking out ten of the Grizzlies. includ-
ing the three heavy sluggers. Randall
Russell and Zalusky. Stecker did not
shine alone by his poor pitching, but his
fielding was dumb, especially on bunts
which he would run up on and then leave
as II he thought they were snakes and
would bite him.
Omaha fans did not know Everitt was
going to give Omaha such a snap so they
stayed away from the park in large num-
bers so that when the roll was called but
1000 of them were present. This was by
far the smallest Sunday crowd which has
been seen on the Omaha grounds this
season. Can 1T be the fans are taking this
method of rebuking Tebeau?
ZaIusky Opens with Double.
Zalusky opened the second inning with a
double but there he died welch did the
same in omaha's half but he was sacri-
feed to second by Dolan and scored on
Runkle's single to right. Bassey opened
the third inning with hit to the pitcher
and Howard bunted. Stecker threw to
second and Edinger called him safe on a
close decision. The ruling nearly cost
him his life, for Bill Everitt almost de-
voured him whole before the game could
proceed. Perring flew out to Randall and
Autrey walked. Welch made his second
hit and scored Bassey. Dolan hit the ball
to third and Howard was caught at the
plate. zalusky then tried to catch Dolan
at first for a double but the ball hit him
on the shoulder and when 1t was found
Autrey and Welch had crossed the plate.
Gonding led off in the fourth with a
double and came home on Dodge's bunt, OF
which Stecker was afraid.
Welch started the fifth with a single,
stole second. zaluskey hit welch with
the ball on the throw and welch went on
to third. He came home on Gonding' s
safe bunt. Three more were made in the
eighth inning from Ave hits, Gonding

second by Dodge. Bassey hit safe, scor-
ing Gondlng and going to second on the
throw. Howard flew out and Perring,
Autrey and welch hit safe, making three

Denver's only run making came in the sew
enth inning. Russell led OFF with a double
and scored on zaluskys single. Reddick hit

hue hit to Howard who did not try to
stop Reddick from coming home but

Denver had some pretentions for the
game in the ninth inning, but they fell
short because OF a fast double which

to Bassey and Donahue hit SAFE Belden
