WILLIS PITCHES TIGHT BALL
Holds Ksws to Four Hits while
Dick Cooley with n BoisterOus
shirt Puts the. Jinz on Ills
own Athletes.

Mr. Ralph willis, late Of the Quincy and
Kay See and the greatest ladies' day
fsvorite In tho world with the exception
Of Artie Thomason, applied fine coat Of
suds to Dick Cooieys lowly Ksws pre-.
Nious to the departure Of our Rourkes
for the big swing around the western cir
cult yesterday afternoon. Ralph put tha
blink on the Kaws, 5 to l.
Richard Cooley must have linked his
sthletes. Richard appeared I'm a nifty
white shirt with n screaming pattern that
knocked all the colors out OF the rainbow
which was threatening to show up any
minute and Il dazzled the eyes OF his
hands. who are unsccustomed 10 such ii
display of boisterous haberdashery by
their boss Cooley presented himself
Ut the bench so that the lady bugs could
rive him the once over and when satisfied
HAT he had knocked 'em all flat with his
class he ducked under so that he would
rot affect Jumps stockdale's line OF
vision.
The battle, nifty though II may have
been. was devoid OF those nervous thrills
which so inspire lady hugs 10 vocal ao-
tion. At only one time was the multi
tude startled. Then Reisigl busted a
triple to left and the fair fans were
thrown into convulsions when they
watched him scamper around the bags
Mr.. ReisIgl's lower limbs are OF sich
peculiar construction that Il was re-
Rarded as a miracle that he could run as
Ear as third base without suffering
blow out He made the trip safely. but
he couldn't get any farther
KruE Plays Third base.
Mr.. Ward 10 another Rourke athlete
sbsent from duty. Mr. Ward cannot
throw. This makes three athletes on the
hospital squad and all are infielders
Martin KruG was called upon 10 occupy
the third station and Marty did so with
much vim and vigor. That supple athlete
f!elded In classy fashion and busted the
triple in the opening stanza which started
Mr. Reisigi on his Journey along the
primrose path. Krueger went into left
field and also knocked a triple.
Keen disappointment overlook Mr..
Reisigl in the opening stanza. Krug poled
the said triple and Thomson and Thomas
mooched him for free transportation.
Thus the bags were filled without an out.
Schliebner. the we'll known Prussian
prince. beat out an infield hit which
scored Krus and when congalton hit into
v double play Thomas scored. Fine
start.
The Kaws became bit previous in the
second. but they soon were subdued by
The ladies' favorite, as he cannot afford
70 be made a mark OF on ladies day Koer-
ner walked in the second and stole sec
ond. baltimore hit TO right and Koerne-
scored on the blow. That was all. for
Willis considered enough suffieiency
and more superfluity. Some logic and
very acceptable to the lady bugs.
ReIsiEI Ascends In seventh.
Mr. Reisigl performed with considerable
Leftness for few rounds. but he couldn't
stand the pace. In the seventh, that be-
ing our lucky inning. Willis made a hit
9t must be a lucky inning IL Willis can
make hit. krug sacrificed and Thoma-
Bon hit double who're no Kaws could
get IT, Thomas went out, but the prince
hopped on a fast one for a neat blow 70
jeff which gave Bill Rapps an Opportunity
10 display his worth and Thomson came
pyer
The Rourkes came close 80 scoring IN
the sixth round. too. Congalton opened
with q double and Krueger followed with
single 20 left. Like a through freight
under full head OF steam Bunk tore
past third base raising cloud OF dust
through which even the vivid colors OF
Dick cooley's shirt could not penetrate
and headed for the plate Bin Rapps
made the heaye 10 the plate missed the
plate about eight feet but McAIlister
Ewooped upOn the pill and jumped on top
of congslton as that famous sprlnter
made slide. imp stockdaie said Bunk
was out by forty feet. Whether the ump
WAS correct Is a mooted question. as all
Omaha fans are positive that It would
be practical impOssibility 70 capture
such a speed merchant as Bunk At the
ilate.

Lincoln. where a four game campaign
