schipke ala It with his little bat.
slugger Bill Schipke hit the bail over
the left field fence and won the game,
which was all tied up at the time. He
was the first man up for Omaha in the
ninth. and after letting a high ball go by.
he saw one coming about waist high and
made a vicious win He landed squarely
and the ball went sailing. Danny Green
had nothing to do but stand by the fence
and watch IL soar over his head with the
hit and run which won the game.
warfield Sanders and Schooimaster
Jones Engaged In as pretty a pitchers
duel as one would wish TO see. Both used
the Same tactics and each was about
equally successful until that ninth, when
the skipper happened to land on one. Two
runs had been made earlier in the game.
one by each team. and up to the ninth
inning three hits had been made off San
ders and four off Jones. Jones passed but
two men and struck out four, while San
ders passed two and struck out two. They
both pitched the same kind Of a ball, and
neither put many balls over the center Of
the bag during the entire game. Neither
has any speed, but both rely on headwork
and perfect control.
Omaha made the first run in the open
ing round on a long hit by Fisher, which
permitted him to perch on third base.
Pendry died trying to help him home and
King hit one to Gagnier, who threw a
little wide TO Thomas. st. Louis Jack
had plenty Of chance to get the ball. but
he chose TO try for 1t with one hand and
dropped It. Fisher would nave scored,
anyway, on the play, whether he had
dropped the ball or not.
Foxy Fox steals Two.
For six ming Sanders did not allow a
Prohibitions to make a hit, but kept
them all hitting little popups and rollers
into the diamond. In the seventh the
score was tied by Foxy Fox, who led Off
with a single over second. He stole sec
ond and then stole third. Cadman threw
wild to catch him at third, and Fox scored
with the run that tied the score. Fox
had the fans on the anxious seat In the
last inning, when he tried to repeat his
performance Of the seventh. He beat out
a grounder TO King. and when Waldron
laid one down toward Schipke, scooted to
third on the sacrifice. 1t looked bad, but
Sanders kept a stiff upper lip and pulled
through. Thomas hit to Schlpke and Gag
nier hit one in the air back Of first. 1t
looked as though there might be a mixup
which would let in the winning run, as
Kane, Pendry and Welch were all closing
in on the ball. Pendry yelled the loudest
and the others gave way and let him have
the putout.
Then came Bill Schipke to bat and won
the game. H Is surely sluger Bill.
Cnntnin Frnnck Out Of Game.
Captain Frrnck did not play in the game
as he and Pa Rourke have been having
some trouble. The owner of the club fined
Frnnck had he refused to accept the fine,
saying that he would not play for Omaha
again. He lid not appear at the park and
Pa took his place on tho bench, pulled King
into short ard sent Hollenbeck into the
center garden. Both performed with eclat.
Holly took five chances without a wabble
and one was as pretty a run and SCOOP
with one hand as one would wish to see.
King made one error by throwing a little
short to first on one OF CASTOR. kilograms
have been flying thick and fast around
the Smoke house and II is rumored that Pa
is trying TO rad Franck off for some
other players.
Today viii be the last appearance OF the
Rourke family for eight days. 1t will be
ladies day and Lincoln will be the attrac-
ton. Score:
