Omaha. 4; Sioux city. 3.
Another ninth inning rally did the bust
ness.
lust as those hustlfnR hands Of Ducky's
thought they had the game safely tucked
away in their pockets the Rourke family
woke up and the way Mr.. Meter was
treated was a caution. Mr.. Meter is a
nice young man Of fine habits. but not used
10 the city life. He knew Just what to do
when everything was running smoothly
but when It came time to brace up and
win the game. Mr.. Meter was tired and
weakened and as a consequence was hit
all over the lot. An eighth inning rally
came within an ace Of tying the score and
the ninth inning rally tied the score and
then won the game.
A MAGNIFICENT game had been pitched by
Mr.. Meter up to the eighth inning. Mel
ter is used to pitching good games and his
record so far this season is nine won and
two lost. lie now has three lost.
Fisher was the first man up for Omaha
I'm the first inning and he hit a double
and that was the only hit made by an ON
aha player until the eighth inning.
Last Most Interesting.
This game was so e1GlAlhB NhaN ~ "''
have 10 be told backwards. The score was
three to two when Omaha came to bat In
the ninth inning. One would tie and two
win. slugRer Bill was the first on whom
the hopes OF the fans was placed and he
bla sted those hopes by striking out. Hol-
Ienbeck was sent TO bat for Perrine and he
hit one which Red Andreas could not
handle. Captain Franck worked Meter
for four wide ones and Cadman hit a long
single which Edmonson let glide past him
until Hollenbeck scored. That tied the
score. Pendry was sent to bat for Kelley
and ne delivered the goods by a long sac
rifice fly to Edmonson on which FrancK
scored and the game was won.
The eighth inning saw the start of the
trouble for Mr.. Meter. After Captain
Franck had been caught at first because
he loafed on what looked like a sure out
Gonding hit for a single down the THIRD
base line. Kelley flew out to Campbell
and then three singles In a row by Fisher
King and Welch scored two runs. Kane
came within an ace of beating out q bum
to first, which would have given another
score.
A base on balls to Mr.. Campbell In the
third inning cost a run, for Edmondsor
came along a little later with a triple and
scored Campbell.
Substitutes Do Work.
Edmondson hit another triple in the
eighth inning, which looked at that time
as though it had won the game. Andrea'
had opened the inning with a single. wher
Ed drove him nome with a three-sacker
Welch hit a long sacrifice fly on which
Ed scored.
Both pitchers pitched magnificent bal
and Meter was entitled to win II HI
could have stood the gaff for two innings
more, but seven innings seemed to hav'
been as far as he could sprint on wasf
day, so as he fell the Rourke family tool
up the running and copped the game.
II was ladies day" and how the fai
ones did yell when Pas bench warming
outfit went in and won out the game
Every man who was sent to bat as a sub
stltute made good and the game was won
