the Rourke family by the close score OF
? TO l. The game was remarkably full Of
ginger for so early In the season.
Roy Patterson. Tor years the boy wonder
NJ the American league, was in the points
at the start and Off his benders the
Omaha recruits made enough runs to win.
He worked for. four innings and while
Omaha made two runs the Millers were
not able to do likewise from the three new
pitchers Manager Rourke has added to his
staff this spring. Jarrett, Johns and Rice
pitched splendid BAH and the only Millers
~ho could connect safely at all we're
O'Neill and Edmunson, who hit In the
pinch for oberlin. o'Neill had on his bat
ting clothes and clouted safely every time
he came up, making two singles and a
double. Edmunson made a double and a
single. .,...,. ...
The Mil;ers made their only run and took
the lead In the initial inning. Oyler walked
and Red Downs sacrificed him to second.

Edrnunson followed with q double O'Neill
did not get beyond third base, Mertens and
Collins hitting TO the infield.
Omaha made its first run in the second
inning on two hits and an error. Pendry,
the little third sacker. led off with a
double to left field, just out Of the reach
Of ONeill. Kid LeBrand followed with a
SAFE hunt, beating the ball easily, but a
wild throw by Patterson let Pendry score.
The winning run was scored by the
RoGrke family in the third inning on two
singles. an error and a sacrifice foul tip.
Fisher started the fun with a clean hit to

foul down the right field line. Mertens
caught the ball after a hard run. but could
not return II to the plate in time to stop
Fishers rush from third. WEIGH followed
with a single. Pendry walked, but LeBrand
fouled nut. 'tt
Effort In Third Fails.
Minneapolis made a strenuous effort to
tie the score ir the third inning, but fell
short. With one ont oiNeDl doubled. Ed
munson singled, but o'Nein could get no
farther than third ON the hit. Mertens
hunted and OMEN was caught at the plate.
Collins YVES out on an iDfield hit.
III lHe tfASt thHu1S Anotner strong pull
was made by the Mllers to tie the game,
but again was sufficient steam lacking.
Pickering wss asked to doff his long ulster
long enough to hit in the place of Moore.
Pick tipped a foul, which the pitcher
nailed between home and first. Block was
then asked TO hit for Oberlin and he was
more successful than Ollie. He stung the
ball FOL. 4 single. but that was as far ae he
could sebsas neither oyler nor Downs could
knock the ball off the sodde diamond.
Captain Franck tried out three OF his
new pitchers and the Millers all looked
alike to them, except o'Neill and Edmun-
son, who insisted on hitting any kind Of
shoots and curves which came along.
Jarrett. former star of the Western eague
whoshas been out of the game for a couple
OF Years with a bad arm. showed returning
form and pitched nice bail for four Innings.
Johns, the big southpaw, who looks like
Jack Pfeister, worked two innings, and
ONAil's single was the only hit made off
his puEzling delivery. Rice, the college
lad dished out the twisters during the last
Two Innings and Blocks pinch hit was the
only accident which befeil him.
The RouTke family will lay Oft Friday.
