No Man With Regular Blood His VEINS Euer Got Tired Horse
OMAHA WINS FIRST
AND DROPS SECOND
Prince Gaskell Wins Hurting
Duel From Williams on
Miller's Home Run.
NORTH HAMMERED IN NO. Q

After marking up a to 0 victory
in a nifty hurting duel between Prince
(,askell and Honolulu John Williams
in the first game, the Rourkes awaited
in the second contest and split the
bargain matinee with the Josies by
dropping the finale. 9 to J. AS the
Topeka were walloped by Holmes
crew, the blooming Links gained half
a game on US.
The first section of the double
event was a corker. Gaskell and Will
lam, staged one swell pitchers battle
which was enlivened by enough thrills
10 provide excitement for the most
bloodthirty ian i'll the county.
Ray Miller won the game for
Gaskell, Ray poled home run drive
over the right field wall i'll the second
c~tanza and the prince made that lone
tally a sufficiency by refusing to per
NIT any of the enemy to scramble
over the plate.
Pass Up Chances.
Twice the Rourkes had additional
chances to score. but passed them
both up. Once they had three on with
one out. but Smith and krug weren't
equal TO the occasion and once they
had a man on second and third with
two out, but Smith ilunkcd again.
The DrummerS tried to start a
rally in the ninth, but the prince
chcckc it. Hits by kirkham and Nc
Clclland and kildufi's error put three
men on the runway with one down,
but Fusncr flied to Forsythe and
kirkham tarried on the bag, fearing
to take a chance on Forsythe's throw
which proved perfect. Then Snipcr
SommerS rolled to krug.
GaskelpS shutout made twentv-nine
consecutive innings for the Drummers
without a score Thursday Pepper
Clark shut them out at Sioux City.
Friday Cecil Thompson BANKED them
here and yesterday Gaskell turned the
trick. They also failed to score dur
ing the eighth or ninth at Sioux City
Wednesday.
Light on North
So the Josies decided enough was
enough. And when Lou North faced
them to start the second game yester-
day, they landed. And what they
didn't do to Norh woasn't worth do
ing. Eventually they drove him to
cover
Wright started the festivities by
smacking a single to left and McCabe
put on to center. An error on Jour
dams sacrifice filled the sacks and Kid
kirkham swept all before him with a
double to center.
That started it. 1t gave the Joses
heart and they kept up the attack
through the rest of the game. North
faded from view in the fifth.
A rookie named Rohrer was on the
mound for the Drummers. How Mr..
Rohrer got away is mystery. He is
one of these kids who curves every
thing and tries to throw them by. The
Rourkes made fifteen hits, one more
than the opposition, but for some rea-
son or other, they couldn't score runs.
Cy Hits Homer.
In the fourth inning Cy Forsythe
skied one over the right field fence
for a home run and in the seventh hits
by krause and Thompson followed by
Miller's double scored two more. That
was all until the ninth.
Then the Rourkes tried to rally.
But it's tough job to rally six runs
together in one spasm. The Rourkes
tell short two markers.
Earl Smith started the doings by
smacking double down the first base
line, Earl's only hit of the day. Marty
\ krug poled one through second.
Thompson combed one into right,
scoring Smith and sending Marty to
third from which sack he scored on
Miller's sacrifice fly. kruegers dou-
Bile sent Thompson to third and
Rohrcr sent out the S O. S. for help.
Mr. Sommers came to the rescue and
torsythe hit safety over second on
Sommers. The hit scored Thompson
and sent Kruger to third. Ernie
then scored on wild pitch. But the
rally ended (, moment later when
kcwpic Kilduff popped up and Joe
Burg whitfield on bad one.
The Rourkcs and Drummers will
continue hostilite5 this afternoon
with another double header. The first
