OMAHA AND SIOUX
. BATTLE TO A TIE
Carney Calls Game in Tenth
With Score 8 to 9, on Ac-
count of Darkness.
MARSHALL is FINED TEN

SlhoHo oho 1iSs<N S'sJ S~sN'~S 49,
frames to tie, 9 to 9, at Rourke park
yesterday afternoon, Umps Carney
calling off hostilities at the end OF
the tenth, alleging the well known at
mosphere was too dark for the optics
of the athletes to successfully pene-
trate it. The jumps may or may not
have been right; the fans kicked some,
but the gang in the press coop gave
three cheers. Extra-inning trays are
not cherished by knights of the pencil
even though the said knights all wish
for nothing more pleasant than toll.
The Rourkes had two bad innings.
-One was the fifth when the Sioux
nicked Marty O'Toole for seven runs
and the other was the ninth when
Bobby Marshall was fined ten bucks
by Jumps Carney. The two bum
rounds account for the tie.
The Rourkes started after Schardt
in the opening stanza and continued
TO mark up tallies for four rounds.
Then the procession ceased until the
Sioux started marching in the fifth.
Another period Of inactivity until the
ninth. The Sioux put over a couple
Of runs, giving them one-run lead on
our athletes. But in the Omaha half
of the same round Cyrus Forsythe
and Kewpie Kilduff injected hand
and knotted the count, 9 to 9, where 1t
stood during the tenth until Carney
called quits.
Kruger Cracks Homer. -
In the fourth inning with two, down
and two men on the runway, Ernie
Kruger gained little fame by pol
ing a home-run drive over the left
field wall.
The Sioux made eight hits for their
seven runs in the fifth. If Krug had
chosen to jerk O'Toole at this point
this story might read differently.
Marshall Fined for Talking.
But the ninth was sad frame from
the home standpoint. Krug called
Floyd Smith into short left and
Grover Gilmore slammed triple over
his dome. After Watson went out
Metz hit to Miller and Gilmore beat
the throw to the plate, knotting the
score. Then Irelan mussed up
Lejeune's grounder and Connolly's
single filled the bases. O'Toole
grooved two for RAIDER and Carney
called them both balls. This led to
Marshall's fine Robert made a few
sarcastic remarks. Carney slipped
him five bucks for the remarks. Mar
shall was so startled he took couple
Of breaths and was fined another five
bucks. This made Bobby angry and
he walked over to tell Carney what
he thought of him. He told him a
number OF things perfectly audible to
everybody in the park Carney has
something of reputation of being a
hard guy, but he didn't work at it yes,
terday.
O'Toole Escapes.
O'Toole shot two more over the
plate for RAIDER. Both clipped cor
ners. Two moro balls, Whereupon
O'Toole held Mr. Carney up ON a
pedestal and described HIM in refined
tones, but Martyrs red hair evidently.
looked dangerous and he didn't have
to spend any money
The four balls to RAIDER forced Metz
over with a run. O'Toole easily re-
tired Cooney and Livingstone, but it
looked like thirty for the Rourkes as
one run is a, big lead in the last in
: ming. ~
= But Forsythe reckons differently
and he started the home half of the
ninth with beautiful triple to left
center. Casper yanked Schardt and
inserted Bert Grover, the well known
nut. Kewpie Kilduff promptly
cracked BERTHE for a double, scoring
Forsythe and tieing it up again. Bert
then whitfield three Rourkes in row.
The Rourkes hked for Des Moines
last night for three-game series, but
return Saturday to resume hostilties
with the Stony IN that day 5...
