the very beginning
Heavy hitting was the order OF the day,
particularly in the first game, with almost
twice as many hits for the locals as for the
Holy Cityians. Riggert again distinguished
himself pounding out a three-bagger,
two-bagger and two singles in five times
up Corridor was back in his old-time bat
ting form and walloped the sphere for three
hits In four times up. The swatfest con-
tinued through the second game also, King
batting a double and a triple and schoon-
over sending out two singles, one bringing
in a run.
Meter took a strangle hold on the Prohi-
bitionists in the second game and allowed
only five hits, two in the second inning re-
sulting in the lone tally. The Rourkes got
in bad hole in the seventh of the second
With only one out the bases were full, but
Meter forced Kruger to hit out an easy
fly and the best Wolverton could get was
an easy grounder TO short, forcing a runner
out at second.
The first game was auspiciously opened
by Jude, the first man up in the first in
ming, who batted out the third ball pitched
for a three-bagger. Cole rolled grounder
down to Kane and went out while Jude

Although Omaha singled three times in
the fifth, there was nothing doing in the
scoring line. In the sixth, with two men
down and Graham on first, Corridor poled
out his three-bagger against the right field
fence Corridor scored on Weidensauls
error, which also sent King to first. King
scored from first on Riggert's three sacker,
which bumped up against the blue quart
sign in center field. Kane batted an easy
grounder and Riggert died at third.
