Omaha. 4: Sioux city. 1

Omaha, 4; Sioux City, 1.
The dope sheet was again upset at Vim
ton street park when with an even num-
ber OF hits Monday and less errors for the
Sioux, Omaha beat the Sioux by the score
of TO /. The winning streak continues
and the way the champs walk away with
the games shows class Sharp and fast
fielding again did the business, although
the Rourke family was trifle lucky In
getting most of the wabbles by the Sioux
in the initial round.
Ducky sat on the bench and put the fleet
footed and strong arm thrower Spencer In
the middle garden and sent Willie Crutcher
in to toss the ball Crutcher is a recruit
from Minneapolis and he pitched a good
game except in the first inning. when the
series of calamities happened.
Il don't mind losing a game when the
fellows don't hit" said Ducky before the
game, so by that reasoning he did not
mind to losing the game yesterday. for the
fellows" surely did not hit they were
able to get but four from Don Carlos
Ragan, who passed but two and struck out
six. But four hits we're made off Crutcher
but he issued four passes and struck out
but three men.
Hearts Smashed EARLY.
The Sioux had their little hearts broken
in the first inning for they had made up
their minds to make a lot OF runs instead
of having the record OF one run in eish-
teen innings. Campbell was in on the
conspiracy and he did his share by hitting
for a double to left. Spencer got tired
trying to sacrifice so he tried to hit out,
but the best he could do was a hot one to
Franck. who nailed him at first base,
| letting Campbell go to third. Andreas hit
e. n1 "a vpa Daflad of thp
home plate and Andreas was caught try
ing to steal second and thus the con-
spiracy was broken up.
Not so with Omaha, for their plans all
| carried and three runs were scored Kins
walked and Franck sacrificed him. That
! was part Of the deal and that is the reason
! they are put at the top of the batting
| order, just so King can walk and Franck
| can sacrifice him to second, Well that is

out. Well, that is what he did and he drove
