TO OMAHA BY jumps
Holland Refuses to Leave
Field and Eckman Gives
Fray to Rourkes.
SCORE Is A TIE AT 8 TO 8

Omaha was handed base ball
game on a silver platter yesterday
afternoon fater three hours and
twenty-five minutes Of toll had failed
to produce results. Umpire Eckman
was the gentleman who donated the
gift combat.
With the score deadlocked, 3 to 5,
and the sixteenth inning due to come
up, and the sun sinking low in the
well-known west, Eckman forfeited
the fray to the de luke Rourklets
because Jack Holland refused to re-
move himself from the St. Joseph
rathskeller when ordered to do so by
his jumps. After delivering his ulti-
matum, Eckman gave Holland just
five minutes to shoe himself out OF
sight Jack refused to depart, SO
Eckman made good his word and
informed the smattering OF ladies
and gentlemen who remained in the
stands tina THE game was Omaha's.
Pitchers Duel.
The pastime was corker and
caused the bugs palpitations Of the
heart on numerous occasions. II was
pitchers duel between Harry
Krause and Sommers, both south
paws, and both Of whom hurled nifty
games.
For fourteen rounds the score ran
at to |. The Rourkes scored the
first marker OF the event in the
fourth on Forsythe's triple, which
Kirkham misjudged, and Kilduff's
sacrifice fly. Krause, Smith and Krug
singled consecutively after the run
was scored, but the hitting failed to
produce the results. The Josies
counted their tally in the sixth, when
Krause and Miller became balmy in
the bean and permitted a couple OF
hits to ooze away from them. Nc
Cabc and Jourdan were both safe
when Harry and Ray got crossed and

teenth St. Joseph got to Krause. Aft
er Kirkham struck out, McCabe
reefed double into center on a slow
ball and Jourdan was purposely
walked. In walking Jourdan, Krug
and Krause missed guess because
Rigsby. who followed sunk safety
into right, scoring McCabe. Jourdan
went 10 third, from which sack he
scored, when Sullivan beat out a
dinky roller to Miller.
Rourkes Come Back.
Then came the excitement for the
few fans who took chance on cold
suppers. Williams got into an argu-
ment with Eckman and the Jumps
chucked him out Of the park, Nc.
Cabe was switched to second base
and Roy Patterson went into center
field. Kewpie Kilduff opened the
home half Of the fifteenth with a
ripping drive into center. Patterson
failed to reach it and Kewpie got .

When the Josies came in from III,
field they said things to Eckman be
cause the Josies figured il Williams
hadn't been kicked from the gam,
MeCable would still have been il
center field and would have caugh
Kiiduff's drive. Maybe he would an,
maybe he wouldn't, but the Josie
thought he would, and they put thu
blame on Eek. This got Eckmal
sore, so he bounced Holland. ant
