Omaha, 3; Denver. 8
Denver took the last one.
After winning three straight games from
those hardy mountaineers from Denver,
the Rourke family lost the last game OF
the series by a decisive score. and the fans
are now ready for Higgins and his bunch
from Des Molnes.
Pa Rourke thought he would give Maggie
McGee, his new pitching recruit, a tryout,
but olmstead pitched a game which would
have won from almost anybody. He was
in fine fettle and had the Rourkes on the
hin from start TO finish, and before the
fray was over they were standing UP like
wooden Indians, allowing the umpire to
call them out on strikes. olmstead struck
cut thirteen and allowed but five hits,
although he passed five Fisher struck out
three times, WEIGH twicb and schipks
twice.
Olmstead seemed 10 be lobbinE pretty
ballp over the plate, but they had = mean
little break, and his control was great
The Rourkes evidently went wrong by try
ing to wait II out" as their only chance
with Olmstead was to hit It out.
McGee worked excellently for three In
nlngs. and II began to look as though a
fourth game was TO be annexed. In the
first inning three men faced him. He
passed Jones. but Gonding caught him try
ing to steal second. In tire second Belden
singled, but was caught in the same way.
In the third olmstead got a scratch single,
but no harm come OF It.
The fourth inning fixed the game, how
ever. Jones landed on a good one and hit
the ball to the middle field fence for three
sacks. Then McGee's troubles began, and
although six runs were made In the inning,
they cannot all be charged to the pitcher.
The captain made a bad error, and Pendry
fell down when he had a chance to nall a
bunt and retire a runner. Johnny Gonding
helped the mixup along by letting Jones
SIRE on a passed ball.
