hits Saturday The Rourkes won the
game by a score Of to o. Showers was
there all the time and was given gilt
edged support by his teammates. Three
singles were all that John Higgins pro-
teges could produce and that was not
enough to win
owen, who opposed the lanky one, was
also tight with his hits and allowed but
seven in the nine innings, but In almost
every instance they came at time when
they counted.

ball when Niehoff hit for a point close
to second and picked the hot one off the
ground Just as 1t was about to slip into
center. He threw the runner out at first.
Graham made a wonderful stop Of owens
grounder in the seventh when he grabbed
1t within few feet of first base and
threw the hitter out at the first bag. He
was on the run when he made the throw.
The other Omaha players did not pull off
any such hair raising stunts, but the whole
team was back of the pitcher all the time

an error was made by the Rourkes.
