sToCKDALE FAILS TO SHOW

But Tor two things, Pa Rourke's ambi-
tious assembly of noble athletes might
have COPIED two ball games from the
despised Bruins before the flock of Gus
toners who paid their way into Pas ball
yard yesterday. In the first place Messrs
Triple and Styles pitched the pill where
it could be hit. In the second place the
Omaha hitters failed to conect with the
proper amount of accuracy, precision
and strength. Those two fatal mistakes
beat our athletes and the Bruins added
two more, to l. and 7 TO 2 respectively.
The Bruins opened on Daniel Triple, the
we'll known pulchritudinous athlete, in
the opening stanza, and continued to bat
ter his handsome countenance during the
second and third rounds. Twas cruel to
spoil the good looks of Daniel, but Jack
Coffey and his hired hands have little
respect for anybody since they dropped
from first place. Two runs were counted
off Daniel in each of the aforementioned
rounds. Two more were added in the
seventh to make the total eight. Mr. Ed
dington, the we'll known boy orator, who
has been suffering from tonsilitis, was
the chief disturber yesterday. He knocked
four hits which sent two runs over the
platter and scored three himself The
boy orator could have won the game all
by himself, but he graclously permitted
his mates to take a hand in the doings.
styles FavOrs Mediation.
In the second fray the Bears knocked
two over in the fourth, and in the sixth
treated Red Styles to an example of the
kind Of warfare that is in progress across
The Atlantic ocean. Having experienced
the sight of his own gore flowing around
Rourke park, Red is full of sympathy
for the brave soldiers In Europe and in
tends to enlist in the diplomatic corps i'm
mediately and urge instant mediation.
In the meantime the local lads were
continuing in the even tenor Of their way.
They politely stepped aside in favor of
their guests and never so much as even
became belligerent. Pa ought to employ
Kaiser Bill as manager so that they
might put up little fight now and then.
Umpire Vanishes.
One conspicuous element of the ball
yard was absent yesterday That was
the regular umpire. Mr.. Stockdsle, the
gent assigned to the series, failed to put
in an appearance. His negligence is
something of mystery. Johnny
Gonding, Congalton, Graham, Coffey and
others, upon inquiry, declared they Were
unfamiliar with his whereabouts. But a
perceptible grin proved that they had
their own ideas on the matter. a good
guess is that Mr.. Roy Crabb could solve
the enigma. Whether Mr.. Stockdale Is In
perfect physical condition. it is thought
can only be told by Mr.. Crabb, as Roy
he's appointed himself guardian OF the
ways and means Of the jumps There
w. L.lose present yesterday who be-
lieved that Mr.. Stockdale was loath to
display his facial features before criti'
cal audience and, therefore remained IN
hiding in some obscure site.
