Slch finishes az Yesterdays are hard on
the ordinary fan. but to have two Of
them In succeeding days Is more than Is
good for a weak heart. Wednesday Omaha
came up from three behind and won, and
yesterday the Rourkes shot forth from be-
hind I'm the eighth, tied the score and then
won out In the ninth, going thereby into
second place. From the bottom Of the
ladder to next to the top is quite a climb,
but that is what the Rourkes have accom-
plished during their brief sojourn In
Omaha.
The tension to which the Omaha players
have been strung in winning the last eight
straight games is beginning to tell on them
and their playing was a little ragged at
times. but they had some remarkably hard
situations. Especially was this the case
In the fourth inning. when with one out
Clark hit for three sacks. The infield
moved In close. Spencer hit a corker at
Franck. which the captain let scoot by
him, az It was on his meat hand. The
next ball Hoggie drove for a hard line
shoot at Schipke. which caught the skipper
on the right side. II. too, went through.
Spencer attempted to steal and Clark
called him safe. so in the mixup Pueblo
scored two runs, which. with the three
they had made in the second inning. put
them in the lead

runs. Fisher singled and BERTHE King
struck out. Schipke singled and Fisher
scooted to third. Schipke coaxed a throw
and Fisher stole home. WEIGH hit TO right
and Miller dropped the ball. The infield
moved in, so that when Pendry grounded.
HoSgte nailed schipke at the plate. Pendry

Pueblo made three In the second on a

the third on Corhan's triple and Mites
single. Lower was then called In and
struck out the next two. Pueblo. 4:
Omaha, 3.
Two more were added to Pueblo's taaly
sheet in the fourth by the hard drives de-
scribed above. Omaha made one in the
fourth on Fishers three-bagger and a
passed ball. Pueblo. 6; Omaha, L.
Thus they battled until the seventh. with
neither able to register. but In the seventh
Omaha tied the score. Fisher hit to Cor
han and then beat out a clean throw, al
though Clark dropped the ball. King hit
to Corhan, who simply tumbled the ball.

Thus the score stood until the ninth in
ming, when Bonno was sent to work in
place of Swift. who had been landed on
pretty hard. King hit Bonno for a single
for an opener, but was caught at second
when he tried to stretch it into a double.
Schipke hit a line drive at Bonno which

so he caught II. Then came Henry elch.
Ronno put them over, but WEIGH fouled
half a dozen good ones and then walked.
Littie Jack Pendry was next, and to show
that Pa Rourke's judgment was good I'm
sending Belden TO Waterloo, he hit the
three-sacker which won the game.
