Denver. s. Omaha. O.
Rick Adams was the whole show at
vinton Tuesday and had Omaha over a
barrel an the way through the game. 50
much so that Denver was able to shut
out the Rourke family and move into sec
ond place. tied with Lincoln. Except for
Householder, who made two hits and
Aubrey and WEIGH. who make one each,
the Omaha team might just as well have
been so many wooden Indians for all the
damage they did to the Denver southpaw
II was his day to shine and he made Il a
good one. He allowed the Rourke family
but four hits and did not hit a man or
pass a man. Omaha had but one real
chance to score and that was In the fourth
INNING. when two singles had been made
and Captain Franck could not deliver the
goods. II might have been different had
not Aubrey been caught at second. when
Householder nearly Knocked the pitcher
down. He hesitated to see If Rick had
the bail and was lost.
Noah was in the points for Omaha and
he was hit for ten safe ones. They were
not needed. however. for enough runs were
made in the first inning to cinch the game
as long as Rick Adams had decided not
to have a balloon ascension. II was surely
the home knockers day and the way they
handed out packages to Noah was a
caution. From the very start some dis
gruntlsd fans began TO howl take him
OUT and kept II up until the game was
over. While it did not appear to discon-
cert Noah much. It was tantalizing to say
the least Noah did not pitch the best
ball in the world. but il wasn't all his
fault for the score shows that Omaha

The very first inning showed which way
the wind was blowing and three hits and
a stolen base netted two runs Waldron
died and /. Belden singled and stole sec
ond. Cassidy punched one at Chick, but
the Chicken beat him to the sack, even
though he had to slide to do it White
hit a double and drove Belden home and
Irwin followed with a single and sent
White home. but McDonough flew out to
Householder.
White and Irwin. two of the cracks Of
the Denver team, rave been out for some
time. but they both resumed their uni
forms yesterday and we've in the game
all the way through. They seemed 10
instill new life into the team by their
very presence and White made two runs
and two hits, even though he had to limp
TO do Il.
waldron opened up the third inning
with a single and Cassidy hit him around
with a double. That made three runs fos
Denver and thus they stood with a lead
of three for four more innings, the fans
ali the time wishing Adams would have
an ascension. But 1t did not come. The
ascension was on the other side.
The first five men up in the eighth
inning for Denver made their bases. A
double. a man hit and three singles sent
in three tallies when Chick started q
double play which put an end to all nom
sense. Lauterborn hit to Chicken, VIVA
tagged McD6nough running from first
and then caught Lauterborn at first
Chick also made another startling play
when he stopped a hard grounder back
of second base and got the ball to frs
ahead OF Rick Adams.
Denver has released Paige and signed
chabek. She same teams play this aft,
ernoon. Score;
