KANE IS THE HEAVY HITTER

Omaha split even with st. oJseph in the
first double header Of the season on the
Vinton street lot Saturday afternoon. The
score OF the first game was to In
favor of the Drummers and the second
went to Omaha by score Of 10 to 8.
Omaha should have won the first con-
test, but that malady which has hold on
the Rourkes and prevents them from hit
ting the ball when hits mean winning the
game was in evidence and Omaha passed
up a chance to win in the ninth in the first
game. The game went ten innings and
the Hollanders brought in the winning tally
when Kelley passed Jones and Bauer hit
a two-bagger.
Harry WEIGH had a chance to win for
the Rourkes in the ninth when two runs
tied the score and two men were on bases,
but the best he could do was to foul out
to Shay. Any kind OF a ball outside the
diamond would have brought in a run
for Cadman was on third and but one was
down. Harry fozzled at a couple and then
bingled out a little popup foul.
Up to the ninth inning the Rourkes were
able to garner but two runs, one in the
second on two hits and an error and the
other on an error and a three-bagger.
In the ninth Cadman was sent In to bat
for Thompson. King started off with
single and went TO second. when Corridor
was hit by a pitched ball. Kane went out
when he attempted to sacrifice. Cadman
hit single into left field and scored Cor
ridon and King. This tied the score, but
the Hollanders took the lead with one run
next inning and the Rourkes could not
make II back.

three in a row.

Bakers fate was similar to Sanders

and Thompson hit a safe one, but was
thrown out at second when he attempted
to steal. Schpke hit a single and scored
Corridor and Kane. Johnson was called

sixth and seventh with a single each time
and scored two men on each occasion,
