TEN INNINGS! HOW IS THAT?
Originals and Rourkes Put Up Rea
Ball Game.
SAME TEAMS GO IT TODAY
PAS Colts Show Up Well and Long
Bath il a Star that shines at
First Base and It
Bat.

A ten-inning contest right off the reel
was what the fans were treated to at
Vinton Street park yesterday afternoon
when Pas Colts won from Bradford's Lee
Glass-Andreesen team, Z to 6. The game
was full of interest and brought out some
faces new to the Omaha fans.
Each team used three pitchers and the
game logged along with Omahs in a com
Portable lead until the eighth, when Rice
seemed to lose control and could not put
the mover. The Hardware Men made two
runs, leaving the score 6 to 5. Three sim
giles in succession in the ninth by Trow-
bridge, Gibson and Wall, tied the score and
a tenth inning was required for the Rourkes
to win. LeBrand walked and Wall foz-
zled on the throw of Rice's grounder.
Fisher struck out and King hunted Le-
Brand home with the winning run.
One thing the game demonstrated was
that Pa has two pitchers with some real
dope up their sleeves in Lower and Han
son. Both had good control and some real
curves-balls with the right sort of break
and the Hardware Men were lucky to
score while these two were at work. Both
made a hit with the management and If
they show much more as they timber up
they will be sure of places on the team.
Long Bath IL the Star.
The real star of the day. however, was
Long Bath. He is more awkward than
Rossman ever was in his rube days, but
he has the great redeeming feature of
swatting the ball and swattlng it hard. He
reached first all three times he came TO
bat, but the way he could get those
lengthy underpins of his crossed and tan
gled up was a caution. He will play
again this afternoon. He says he never
saw a grass diamond before and doesn't
know what to do with it.
George Graham looks better in warming
up than ever, but Pa is not going to let
him into the game until warm weather
comes along. lie can throw better than
ever and appears just as fast, but the
pretty part of Graham's work was the way
he could pick up grounders.
I Cadman is catching the longest end Of
every game and is showing class. He is a
good receiver and pegs the ball as good
as any. He also hits well, but has not been
] very fortunate in his hits 10 date. LeBrand
is in midsummer form and puts lots Of
singer In his work. Gonding has not APP
peared in any of the games, but satisfies
himself with working out the young pitch
ers, Of whom there are an even dozen.
Fisher in Over Weight.
Fisher has about twenty or thirty pounds
too much weight TO carry to make a good
race, but he says that will work off as
soon as the weather warns up a little.
Welch has been transferred to the right
garden for a tryout and It is hoped he
will be able to throw better from that
position. Vasbinder has every indication of
being a good fielder and assumes A good
position ct bat. Smith fields the ball we'll.
but has been doing very little effective
work with the stick. Pendry has been more
fortunate at bat. but is a little stiff as
yet in his fielding and probably will make
abetter showing as the stiffness wears Oft
his little frame.
Comiskey comes next Saturday and sun
day, but before him will be several good
games. Mike Cantllon will bring his Min
neapolis bunch for three games, April 6. z
and s. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
and the advance reports are that he has
almost a major league team. Jimmy Col
Inns, the crack third baseman Of the Boston
team for so many years. will occupy the
third sack ana captain the team. Downs,
Pickering and Rapp, here last week with
the Washington team. will also appear
with Mike Cantillon. Gill. from Pittsburg,
is worth the aggregation. as is also o'Neiu,
making a strong team withali.
Pa has promised Fort Crook a game for
April 70 or II and the management OF the
soldiers has not decided upon the date.
The game for the Child Saving institute be-
tween the tribe Of Rourke and a picked
team is scheduled for April .. and on
/ April II the Rourke family will journey
10 Council Bluffs for a game with the
IDEAL Hustlers.
