Benjamin Harrison Demott who was re-
Gently secured from the Cleveland Maps TO
bolster up the Rourke pitching staff hung
the medicine sign on the Champs for fair
yesterday afternoon and for nine innings
administered goose eggs 10 Tom Fair
weather's proteges. George Clarke, the
Ames college pitcher was pltted against
Demott. but the seven hits he allowed and
enc error meant two runs to Pas athletes,
and the game ended with the Rourkes at
the long end of a to score.
Demott wa sthe whole show all through
the game and his work at tn chat shone
more brilliantly than II did in the field and
It was his terrific clouting that gave
Omaha the game. In three times at bat
he hammered the ball for three hits, one
OF which was as clean threebagger as has
been seen on the home grounds this year.
His pitching was away above par and. after
passing three men in the first inning he
came back in the second and struck out
the three men who faced him. His mysteri-
Gus wrinkles simply flabergasted the Sioux
City siuggers and they managed to get but
five hits, which came one at 9 time in
five different innings.
Clarke Pitches Well, Too.
Clarke pitched good ball for the Champs,
but an error by Miller in the second in
ming brought In a run and a triple followed
by a single in tn efifth meant another
run 10 Omaha II was a far different game
than the one on the opening day, and the
fans were unanimous in the praise for the
playing Of both teams. The nine errors Of
Sunday seemed to have put shame into
the hearts of the Rourke players and yes
terday but one error was made.
Ansler, who played right field for Sioux
City on usnday, did not play yesterday. A
new fielder, who has some distinction a
catcher. Joined the Sioux City team yes
terday morning and was showed in the
game In the Afternoon. His name is Morgan
and he halls from Minneapolis. His work
yesterday was good and his hitting was
above the other Sioux City players. In
three times to bat he hammered out two
singles. Babe Towne was not in the lineup
either, Miller doing the receiving His
wild throw over second In the second in

. run.
Change I'm batting order.
Niehoff and Williams changed their
places in the batting order. Niehoff now
bats after schoonover or fifth man up
and williams follows him. Kneaves played
some game at short and took six chances
without an error. Arbogast had his throw
ing arm in proper form and, after three
men had tried to steal second and were
caught. the idea OF ever getting a base in
that manner was abandoned by the
Champs.
omtha made its first run in the second.
Kneaves was passed. Arbogast sent a
grass cutter down to Clarke, who threw
Kneaves out at second. Demott singled to
right and Arbogast went to third. Demott
attempted to steal and Miller threw the
ball over to second and Arbogast scored,
In tn efifth, Demott opened with triple
to center. Pick followed with a single to
the same locality and Demott romped in
with the last run o fthe game. Score;
