Omaha. Q. Denvsr. &

Omaha, .: Denver, g.
sluEger Bill was true TO his name.
Bill schipke, skipper Of the Omaha team,
was the big noise at Vinton street park
Tuesday afternoon and had the fans all
on edge by the way he hit, ran bases
and played ball. The trapper made a SPLEEN
did record OF five hits In five time at
bat. He drove in six Of the nine runs
made by Omaha and stole three bases.
Also. he accepted every fielding chance
which came his way.
A pretty good record for a lad who limps
with rheumatism.
Both Denver pitchers looked alike to the
skipper for he made three hits off Ford
and two of Pat Bohannon- One OF those
from Pat wAs q double. He also scored
one Of the rum made by the Rourkes.
Such 10 the record az put down for the
crack third bassmez Of the Omaha team
who In q large measure was responsible
for the defeat Of the 0rixziies, He was
the batting kid. Some had the temerity to
ascribe ha pFowoss 70 q horseshoe which
the clothesline has left on the back OF his
baseball shirt.
Some Of the other members OF the Rourke
family also had their batting eye with
them and timely hits were the order Of
the day. Especially was that true Of the
hits made by sohipke which brought in
the runs just when needed.
Both teams were blanked in the open
ing round, but in the second Denver
started with a lead Of two. Omaha got
one OF those two back in the second
half OF the second. Then Denver made
another in the third and Omaha made two
which tied the score. Omaha took the
lead in the fifth with two and kept it
TO the end.
In the second with one out, Ira Belden
walked and Hartman hit q scratch down
the first base line for a double on which
Belden scored. Haley's infield out put
Hartman on third and he scored when
Gonding dropped the third strike on Ford.
Schipke Makes First Tally.
Bill schipke made the first run for
Omaha in the second. He hit to center,
went to second on Franck's sacrifice, stole
third and came home on Lowers infie;d
out. Standard hit the ball over the left
field fence for Denver's third run, in the
third inning.
Doc WEIGH singled in the third and was
out at second on Kane's grounder, max
ing two out. Kane and King worked the
hit-and-run racket, and II really worked,
for Kane scored and King got credit for
n ubhbAOs SAAAP ANhAb AShS "AN
a single.
In the fifth Kane opened out with a
double and was sacrificed to third by King.
Schipke scored him with another single.
Schipke stole second, but was caught at
the plate when he tried TO score on
Franck's single. Gonding allowed Franck
to score with a drive to middle.
Ford was retired after that trouble and
big Pat Bohannon brought forth. After
Jones had made a remarkable catch of
Fishers long hit against the big sign, Pat
passed three In succession. King hit to Pat
and Pendry was caught at the plate, But
then came Slugger Bill with his little hit
and scored WEIGH and Kane.
In the eighth inning Welch walked and
King was hit by a pitched ball and
Schipke scored them both with a double.
Denver again today.
