Omaha, 2.

Pa Rourke's bunch Of Colts had little
trouble In getting away with the game
against the Council Bluffs Invincibles
yesterday afternoon Opportune hitting,
coupled with clever base stealing brought
Omaha's score up to o, while the boys
from across the river managed to get a
total OF g.
In the early part Of the game the Omaha
players were careless and whanged away
at any old thing in an endeavor to hurry
the game along But when they found that
the Council Bluffs team was taking ad-
vantage OF the loose playing, they squared
off and played real base ball at the bat
for three or four innings until they had
enough runs to be safe
The weather was ideal, and the first
real warm base bal weather found the
Colts In good condition, although Kneaves
and Graham we're out OF the game on ac-
count Of injuries. Lotz, the able bodied
Rourke player, worked nine full innings
and pitched a good game allowing but four
hits. which were nicely scattered, passing
four. Ward, the youngest player on the
team. was given a tryout in a real game
and made good. In four times at bat
he hammered out three perfect hits, one
Of which was a two-bagger to the right
field fence He accepted five chances at
short with but one error.
Gondlng also worked a few innings be-
hind the bat and played a Consistent game
His arm was in good condition, and the
Council Bluffs players we're afraid to at
tempt many steals. Patton was not needed
on the mound, and was put in the umpire
box
