WEIGH LANDS HARD IN PINCH

Omaha. s; Denver, s.
Three straight from Denver.
Harry weich was the immediate cause
OF winning from the Grizzlies Wednesday
afternoon when, by a ninth inning rally,
the Rourkes took the third I'm succession
in the present series. The bases were
filled with one out when WEIGH came to
bat in the ninth. Omaha was one run
to the bad and one run was needed to
tie and two to win. Could WEIGH deliver
the goods in the pinch7 He ~did-there-
fore, he could. There are those who say
that Weloh cannot hit in the pinch. He
has put the soft pedal on these for a
while.
That ninth inning was so good that It
will have to be told about first. Pat Bo-
harmon had been pitching and Manager
Jones wanted to send Olmstead In to finish
the game, but Pat objected and wanted the
whole credit to himself. He didn't get II.
Cadman was the first man up in that
ninth lining. In his stead, however, Cap
tain Franck sent in Edmundson, who
waited and waited until Pat gave him
four wide ones.
The pass caused Manager Jones to Jour
ney in from center field to protest with
Pat, but the big fellow had his way and
worked the game through, although sew
eral conferences were had. Some Of these
conferences we're intended to give Pat a
rest. The next man up was Hollenbeck
and he beat out a bunt. Then came Red
Fisher and he put a fast one at Hartman
who, in his eagerness, threw It wild and
the bases we're filled. Pendry did not help
matters along much by popping a foul to
Lindsey. But WEIGH fixed the game. He
waited for one waist high and swinging
hard drove It just inside the first sack.
giving Edmundson and Holly a chance to
score with the run that tied and the run
that won.
Looked Like Omaha.
The game started as though it might
be going TO be one-sided, for Omaha made
three In the opening round and Denver
got a goose egg. Fisher started with a
walk and Pendry sacrificed. Welch sin
gled and Fisher went to third and welch
to second on the throw In. Kane scored
Fisher and welch with a single and Kane
scored on Franck's single.
Cadman scored in the fourth on a sin
gle. a stolen base and Jehls error. Den
yer piled up some runs in the fifth, sixth
and seventh innings by hitting the ball.
In the fifth, three singles and a base on
balls scored two. In the sixth a single,
two infteld outs and another single scored
Lindsay. In the seventh Pat Bohannon
singled and died at second when Cassidy
tried to sacrifice. Cassidy stole second
and Jones flew out to Pendry. Denver
was one run behind when Standard, the
big second baseman, came to bat. He hit
the ball so hard that 1t rolled into the
corner OF the lot and was lost until he
circled the bases with the run which put
Denver in the lead. That was the second
home run Standard has made in Omaha
during this series, and also the second
home run which has been made in Omaha
recently by the ball being lost in that
corner OF the lot.
MCGEE Is billed TO go on the hill and
try to win the fourth game from Denver
this afternoon.
