R0URKES CONQUER
IN SLUGGING GAME
-hirsy-F -Four Fits by Omaha
and Springs, Score Being
Fo-rteen to Thirteen.
ToRTH IS UNABLE TO LAST

lOiOfaQo springs, SoiO., sept. To-
Special Telegram)-There must be
something in the high altitude and
rare air in Colorado Springs that
produces base hits. In today's game
between the Rourkes and the Million
aires, in which the former won, IA to
10, total of thirty-tour hits was
made by both teams, including twelve
doubles and home run.
Although the game was drawn out
over two hours and a half, it was
packed with excitement toward the
end when the newly rich seriously
threatened to overcome the big lead
the new champions had piled up.
Eight runs behind and with two out
in the seventh, the Millionaires
pounded North out of the box and
scored six runs. In the ninth the
Springs scored one and with the bases
filled, Hitting failed to show up as a
pinch hitter and the stuff was off.
Start With Rush.
The Rourkes started right after
Hunt in the first inning, touched him
for five straight hits and three runs
without an out being registered.
Griffin replaced him and had both
good and bad streaks. North was
wild throughout his term in the box,
allowing seven bases on balls. His
weakness always came after two men
were out, it seemed, and in the sew
enth inning he walked four men, one
Of them when the bases were filled.
The Millionaires batted around in this
frame. Every Omaha player sweet
ened his batting average, Kruger
favoring his team with four runs and
four hits, one of them home run.
Thompson put three swats to his
credit. Marshall replaced Burg at
third in the eighth and pair OF er-
rors in the ninth were responsible for
> the Millionaires' last tally.
Omaha Scores. ~.
The Omahas scored their three in
the first on singles by Burg, Thomp-
son and Kruger, coupled with
Miller's two-base hit.
In the second inning they scored
four, North getting a single, Burg
being hit by the pitcher, Kruger get
ting a base on balls, Miller getting a
life on Rapp's error and Forsythe's
single to deep right. .~
Krueger's homer with Thompson's
single put over two more III the
fourth. Two base swats to center
and right field by Thompson, Miller,
Irelan and North and Krueger's sin
gle scored five in the fifth. This
ended the Rourke> massacre.
r. North Grows Wild.
Fox, scored in the first for the
Millionaires on a double and Coy's
sacrifice fly. Litse'.i also got in on
a sacrifice fly in the second after his
two-bag smash. Singles by Britton,
Litschi and White gave the Springs
two in the fifth. The carnage in the
sixth was due to North's wildness,
the big geographical twirler having
two men out when he lost sight Of
the plate. Four walks, two singles
and double and Irelan's bobble gave
the locals six.
In the ninth, with two down, Brit
ton scored on Marshall's error on
third. Merz walked Rapps and
White got life on Marshall's second
miscue. Hitting failed to produce
and the game ended.
Today's game was the last OF the
series here, Omaha going to Denver
tomorrow. Sioux City comes here.
