Buck Freeman had the Indian sign on
the Rourke family for fair Saturday and
with his little underhanded ball made the
Champs look like children. For the third
time in three days Omaha suffered defeat
at the hands Of the Sioux. two being shut
outs. starr, Furchner and then Freeman
they were the twirlers to whom Omaha
had to succumb. Brennan was worse sat
urday than Friday. The home team and
the fans we're riled at him all the way
through.
He knew what to call that one" yelled
one spectator as Brennan called a foul
tip a strike. II was not that there was
anything vicious in Brennan's decisions,
but they seemed so uniformly wrong that
the Rourkes became disheartened. The
trouble started over a first base decision.
Hollenbeck caught Andreas leading too far
off first and Chick tagged him. Brennan
called him safe, but there lay Andreas i'm
plain sight of all the 1000 spectators. He
had not touched the bag until after the
decision was made and he had been able
to crawl within reach. Andreas himself
laughed at Brennan's decision. &
Four times Omaha had men as far an
third base, but the needed poke was not
forthcoming. They were as helpless as
babes at such times. The nearest to a
score was in the third inning, when Belden
opened It with a triple. Gondng hit to
WEIGH and still he had to stay at third.
Hollenbeck walked and he was stu there.
Austin tried to bunt, but the ball flew in
the air and Freeman caught. It. Hollen-
beck coaxed a throw by scooting for sec
ond, but two good throws by Henry and
Andreas nailed Belden at the plate.
Autrey Makes n Double.
In the fourth inning with one out Aubrey
doubled. Householder hit a high one to
Ducky. who dropped It, and Chicken went
to third. Householder tried to move on to
second and was caught in the act. WEIGH
was passed and stole second and Buck
Franck struck out.
With two out in the sixth inning a single,
an error and a pass filled the omaha
bases, but the best Belden could do was
to ground out to SEVERED. Omaha made
seven hits, but the trouble was that no
two Of them came in the same Inning.
Sioux City made ten hits and made three
of them in one inning, the inning in which
all the runs Of the game were made. Sew
eral light holes Hollenbeck pitched himself
out of, but there came a time in the fifth
inning when the fates were against him.
After Freeman had struck out IN the
fifth inning, Campbell hit to right center
field for a single. The ball passed right
through Belden and before II was fielded
Campbell had trotted home with the first
run of the game. Holmes flew out to
Householder, making two out, but Weed
stung the ball for a single. Henry drew a
pass and Andreas caught the sphere just
right for a double to left field. which gave
Weed and Henry a chance to score and they
took the chance.
Captain Franck continued to have an off
day and again made two errors. The first
was a muffed %grounder and the second
was a ball which bounded into him and he
missed. Henry hurt his finger by a pitched
ball and retired in favor of Shea in the
eighth inning.
Fans pulled for a rally in the sixth
inning. in the seventh-the lucky seventh
the eighth and the last, but Freeman re-
fused to weaken and 1t was no use.
