Notes of the Game.

MUGS VI AAAO OnAIACs
The one redeeming feature of the To-
cal fielding was a fast double play in
the sixth Inning. Franck had singled
Slapnicka who started the double to
DoWney and Cooley.
Geier certainly made a great catch
in the first inning. WEIGH, the Omaha
slugger, was robbed of a triple right
in the shadow of the fence.
Little Johnny Pendry certainly play
ed a great game around the third sack.
He took care of eight chances, some
of them being rather difficult.
WooIey hasn't had a chance in CEN
terrified for two days. Maybe the op-
posing batters have heard OF him be-
fore.
Cooley did a wise thing. After the
game was found to be lost, he sent in
his reserve stock of pitchers.
Geier was the only one of the locals
to hit twice. The first time UP he
banged one against Johns shins, and
later in the game nearly took Graham
off his balance at second.
Burnurn works for the locals this at
ternoon. Probably Lower or Rice for
the Rourkes.
''Pa" Rourke sitting in the grand
stand was one of the best pleased spec
tators of the afternoon. Pas team
hasn't got in it's stride yet and every
game won now helps to keen up appear
