Omaha beat Sioux City out Of the West
ern league pennant yesterday afternoon by
winning both ends Of a double-header.
while Des Moines was beating Lincoln at
Des Nome
Vinton park was the real battle ground
where the pennant of the league was won
and lost Ducky Holmes seemed to have
It in his grasp, but suddenly he felt It
slipping and brace himself as he would he
could not stop the slide. When the series
started in Omaha and Des Moines It was
necessary for Holmes TO win two games II
Dss Moinss should win straight through.
He, won but one and the pennant goes to
Des Moinea.
When the D~ucklings JOurneyed to vinton
street park yesterday they had to win but
one game to cinoh the flag, but that was
easier said than done. The entire Rourke
family seemed to be crazy TO beat Mr..
Holmes and all the fans rooted themselves
hoarse. He was indeed in a hostile camp.
The 500 were up a stump as whom to pitch
to get the needed game.
Clarke was tried in the first game, but
there n mistake was made, because Clarke
had nothing more on him than DR.. WEIGH.
He pushed them straight over until the
game was lost in the very first round.
Red Fisher opened on him with a three
sacker and Fox walked. King hit a single
and Fisher scored.
Clarke Driven from Hill.
Then Mr.. Clarke was canned and Alder
man Of Tekamah went to work. He could
not stop the rush until two more were
made, although Smiths errors helped the
Rourkes along. Kane beat out a bunt and
WEIGH hit one to Smith. which he fumbled,
while Fox scored. Pendry drew a pass
which scored another. Why talk any more
about the first game because these three
runs were enough to win when Patton
insisted on pitching such steady ball?
Jim Kane, formerly of Pittsburg, now Of
Omaha and next year with Boston, gets
the big plum on the second game and in
cidently he won himself a home. His girl
was sitting in the grandstand when Jim
came 10 bat with the Sioux three runs in
the lead.
III Jim only makes a home run he can
have me- said the fair maiden and forth
with Jim won the girl. He swatted the
ball into the far corner of the grounds,
way over by the big animal on the fence,
and the best of 1t was that Fox and King
had singled ahead of him SO his home run
scored three, tied the score and won him
a home.
Omaha took the lead in the fifth when
with two out Fisher hit to right for three
sacks and came home when Hunter
dropped an easy throw right in his hands.
Omaha Wins in sixth.
In the first half of the sixth the 500 tied
the score again. Andreas opened with a
single and was sacrificed to second. lie
scored on Edmondson's single. The score
did not remain a tie very long for Omaha
came back in the last half OF the sixth with
two runs. Welch doubled and Pendry
walked. Potts forced Pendry at second and
WEIGH scored, he and Potts working a
double steal. Gonding hit to Smith who
threw low to first and Potts scored.
The 500 made another in the seventh,
WEIGH opening with a double and scored
on Hunters single. Stovall worked u good
sacrifice, but hunter died at second a,
Kelley tightened up and did not let ChabeF
nor smith hit the ball.
The Rourkes boosted up the lead one rur
In the seventh when Fisher reached frs
on Andreas' error, was sacrificed to second
and stole home, he ana hlng working d
double steal.
Alas, poor Ducky!
