Omaha, i; Lincoln, O.

90 Lincoln lost. The Green tribe was shut
out Yesterday by the score Of 1 to 0 In one
OF the best games of ball ever seen on tho
Omaha grounds. The stellar features were
numerous and tho wobbles few. Harry
WEIGH made the only error by misjudging a
high fly and then not getting II back IN
time. but II did not matter in the score and
he more than made UP for It by aking five
other chances and also by soaking the ball
right on the nose for q double which won
the game, %
Schoolmaster Jones and War Sanders
we're slated to do the throwing and the wise
fans settled back for a pitchers battle.
They had one. 1t was a corker. Chicken
Aubrey drew the only pass, as War was
too stingy to hand out even one. Not 9
man was hit by a pitched ball and Lincoln
made but four hits, while Omaha made
five. One man was struck out by each Of
the twirlers. For the first three innings
but three men to an inning faced the bat
thing little fellows. Jones kept that record
! going for two more innings. but weloh
dropped a fly and spoiled it for Sanders.

run Of the game was made. Aubrey made Il
in the seventh inning. King had popped q
foul to zinran. when Chicken smashed one
so fast between Fox and Jack Thomas that
neither could get his hands upon 1t. That
was the start, and DR.. Harry WEIGH put
the finishing touches upon the run by
smashing a corker to the right center field
fence. Not down the foul line. but over
Captain Fox's head and against the Walk.
over sign. There was no chance for the
fleetfooted fielders Of the Lincoln team to
head off that ball and Chicken trotted
home from first with, ease. welch took
two on the stroke.
OF features the game had plenty. The
first feature noticeable was the way the
bases were guarded and the fatality which
overcame a daring base runner who at
tempted to steal or even to move off too
far. Jude was the first man up for Lincoln
and he made a single. Old Foxey Fox
sacrificed him on TO second. That was ali
right for that Is what Fox holds the second
position in the batting order for. Jude was
getting a little gay and thinking how he
was going to scoot home when Gagnier
should hit the ball safely. But he thought
too long and while he was thinking Sanders
and King worked a little game on the
Indian and Haskell motioned him to the
bench. Austin bea. out a slow infield hit
in the fifth inning and was caught tying
to steal second.
Fisher Makes Great Catch.
Fisher showed himself the right man in
the right place when he grabbed Fox's
drive down the left field line. 1t looked
for all the world like a two-sacker, but
Fisher was on the job and pulled 1t down
with his meat hand, as pretty a catch as
one would like to see. Captain Franck also
made several bids for applause, once es-
pecially when he booted the ball and then
ran 1t down, whirled and caught Zinran
before he could reach first. Gonding was
not going to let the youngsters do all the
stellar work, so he pulled a foul tip off the
wire mating.
Sanders was at his best and the Green
hackers were like putty in his NIT. Four
hits were recorded, but one of these fell
between Franck and WEIGH and King and
any one of the trio might have caught the
ball. He pitched a perfect game and the
fans felt safe as soon as Omaha had
scored thu one run. As 1t turned out he
allowed but one man to reach second base
and he caught him mapping, Belden had his
eye on the ball, making two OF the five
hits, but they did not fit in with anything
which was before or behind.
Belden also saved the game for Omaha.
Two men were on base when Jude drove
the ball clear to the fence, but Bill ran
back. leaned against the fence and
caught It.
The same teams this afternoon.
