ages Friday Afternoon.
With 20 Hits, They Made a
Total of IL Scores.

A big black cloud gathered over
Western league park Friday afternoon
and in the last miseries of the game
when the flood gates began to leak
the Savages were washed from their
feet and swept out of the running as
though they were tissue paper soldiers
fighting a whirlwind.
Only enough water fell to make
things disagreeable and to delay the
game for a short time. But there was
a regular cloudburst of runs, hits,
blunders and blowups in the eighth
and ninth innings when the thrice de-
feated Omahogs collected eleven hits
and a dozen runs from Grover, and
wound up the game by taking a II to
victory. Things went bad from the
start.
Swede Wideman went to the mound
for the team in the opening, but after
he made his first delivery Manager
Jackson ordered Mccoy to the bull
pen to warm up. The Swede lasted an
inning and two-thirds, during which
time the Hogs collected one home rum
three Dagger, two Dagger two sin
giles and three runs Then Mccoy was
called to the rubber.
SavageS Score.
In the last of the second the Saw
ages scored one. Jackson, first up,
got walk. baltimore singled and
Roche hit a high fly to center on
which Jackson scored. Then, in the
third the Savages all but sewed the
game up in a sack when they. punched
five hits for three runs and lead of
one. Mccoy led off with a single
through the pitcher. Cochran doubled
to left and Bostick singled to the
same place, scoring both Mccoy and
Honus. Mayer grounded out, but
baltimore was run down between sec
ond and third. Roche singled to left,
but Trainer whitfield, retiring the side.
Again in the first of the fourth the
Krug-Hogs nosed into one run lead.
Smith, first up, was safe on Bostick's
error. Whalen sacrificed and Ever
don grounded out; but Breen singled
sufficiently to score Smith. Then
Krug followed with a two timer,
scoring Breen. This was the last of
In the first of the seventh the Saw
ages tied the count Bugs Grover
pushed out a single, Cochran was safe
when the Bugs went out on force.
Bostick flew out, but Mayer singled,
scoring Cochran.
This tie-up seemed to vex the
Rourkes considerably, and to show
that their hair could bristle they be-
gan to murder the good exhibition
Grover gave Dutch Schliebner a free
walk. Smith singled and Whalen did
likewise scoring Schliebner. Smith
scored on wild pitch, and Everdon

seven runs were deposited to their
credit before the thing was over. The
