Giving Omaha TIE Game.
SOURXts HAVE on THEIR BATTING BUDS
Captain Franck and Joe DOlan set
the Pace with Three Hits Each
Lincoln aad Ladies'
Day.

Pat Rsgan was in the box for Omaha
Sunday afternoon and that tells the tale
Of why Sioux City was shut out The
Omaha team had on its batting clothes
and that tells why the Rourke family made
eleven runs before the banner crowd of
-the year. Just $500 fans went to the
grounds In spite Of the rain OF the night
before and saw Ragan administer a splen-
did shut out, giving but one hit. He had
splendid support. The three errors made
by the White sox did not count much, for
Raglan never weakened. Dolans error was
made because he stood in the line and
let Spies upset him in the eight inning and
the next man up hit to Austin, who threw
a little high for Joe. Franck booted a
grounder in the last inning, but the man
did not get beyond first base.
Sioux City got but one man as far as
second, but Ragan took care that he got
no farther. Omaha started out in the first
inning Just as II the locals were going to
run away with the game, but no run was
made In that inning although Beden
walked and Franck hit safe.
Fun starts in see6nd.
The real fun started in the second in
ming after Austin had struck out. Weed
booted Graham's grounder and Williams
Weed again went wrong on Ragan's
grounder and Graham scored Belden flew
out to Weed and Gonding came home on
Francks single, the second for the cap
tain.
WEIGH led off the third inning with a
double and Dolan followed with a single.
Austin went out on a grounder to short
and Graham hit to the pitcher, who threw
home in time to catch WEIGH, but Mr..
Spies missed the throw and both WEIGH
and DolRn scored. Graham was caught of
second on Gonding's grounder and then
Pat Raglan made the long hit Of the game,
hitting the storz sign for case and perch
Ing on third before the ball was recovered.
He also scored on BeIden's single.
The total was swelled by three more runs
in the fourth by singles by Franck Dolan
and Graham, base on balls to Austin and
Campbell's error in letting Graham's single
scoot by him. The Rourke children rested
in the fifth inning, but in the sixth added
two more just to fatten up their batting
averages.
After welch was out from Bennett to J.
sheehan, Dolan hit safe Austin followed
with another single as did also Graham,
bringing Dolan home double steal was
attempted by Graham and Austin. but
Austin was caught at the plate while Ora
ham went from first to third on the play
and came home on Townsend's single
That was all the hits or runs Omaha made
in the game.
One-Sided, but Interesting.
While the game was one-sided It was
interesting nevertheless, for the fans were
all pulling for Ragan to pitch a no-hlt
no-run game, but Spies slipped in little
single in the eighth, which spoiled the
record. Favorable comment was heard or
all sides for the speed which some of Pas
! new men showed while on the bases, five
bases being stolen.

BELTS FOR WHITE GOWNS,

Popular.

Embroidered linen is lovely. but

not bulky when drawn about the

In cabuchOn. stones of some sort,
nothing could be prettier with a linen

betting is as good, both in point of
taste and modishness as anything,
and many qualities wash well, so it is
not eXtravagant.
French makers of linen gowns and
suits almost always provide with the
gown a crush belt of linen, boned to
lit and Ornamented with large, linen
covered buttons. This gives special
finish to gown, and is wonderfully
good with all white frocks. High belts
of matching taffeta are chic with col

Do not slur over this point in the
costume, as it is of the greatest i'm
portance.
Silver belts have come back into
favor, so if you have one and have
not been wearing it of late, by all
means bring it out and exploit it, for
filigree and open-work girdles are de-

not suitable to every figure, and it is

a WELCOME FOR May
Pretty Custom Once Com
mon That Is Well Worthy
of Revival Tocay-May
Day Luncheon.

1t is a custom worthy of revival that
of sending gifts of flowers and fruit on
the first day of May. So let us re-
member the hospitals and charitable
homes for children for nothing is so
acceptable to either old or young as
a flower, the love of even very young
children for fragrant blossoms is pro-
verbal. Let us all bear this in mind
and joyfully add another day" to our
calendar of special celebrations. 1t is
one of the most hopeful signs of the
times to observe how merchants,
hostesses and schools are recognizing
these delightful festival days. We
cannot have too much of legendary
romance and sentiment put into our
altogether too practical, hurried lives.
Children eagerly welcome any inno-
walton from the commonplace, so let
them share in the preparations for
May day. 1t makes them happier and
in consequence better If it is too
cold to have outdoor fetes, the spirit
and letter Of the law may be carried
out indoors. Most charming May
baskets can be made by braiding crepe
tissue paper, then sewing it together,
alternating strips of white and green
work up effectively. A handle is
braided and sewed on and the recep-
tacle filled with flowers Covers for
potted plant and earthen fern dishes
are made in the same manner and add
much to the beauty and attractivenesS
of these gifts.

the change in season, and the May
day festival was anticipated with keen
delight by old and young alike.
Branches of fruit trees gathered sew
