ball, korsehide, cover and all over
the right field timber for his eighth
home run OF the season. The bags,
however, were vacant, but that was
a small matter.
Then, just to show the customers
how consistent hitter he is, Leli-
velt grabbed his war club in the fifth
inning and clouted a brand new two
buck ball over the right field fence
for his second four-bagger. This
time he showed Billy" Lee across
the plate, much to the pleasure Of
500 or more fans.
incidentally, we might mention
light here that when the Buffalo first
sacker slapped the ball over the
boards for his first home run, he
increased his total number of hits
whanged out thus far this year to
zoo, which brethren, is a feat that
hasn't been accomplished by the boys
IN the big show" yet this season.
We also might mention that Har-
per of Oklahoma City is second in
the Western league for the number
OF hits already knocked out, but the
Indian bludgeon swinger is so far
behind Lelivelt that he would have
to use a bat in each hand every time
he came to bat for the remainder of
the season in order to give the local
first baseman a close race.
ua;f,,,n,
Tigers has collected III hits and
Roger Hornsby of St. Louis has l64,
so, gents, you can see that Omaha
has first baseman who hits the ball
on the nose quite frequently.
When Lelivelt came to bat in th.
first inning yesterday he forced Lee
at second. but in the third inning
he swatted out hit first homer and
then in the fifth. knocked his second.
The third time he faced Lotz the lat
ter decided to walk the Buffalo,
which was hard on Lelivelt's batting
record. In the eighth the bases
were chucked when Lelivelt came to
the plate Rather than see the
torsehide sail out toward the Mis-
souri,. Pitcher Lotz again decided to
walk the batsman, and in doing SO
forced in a run.
Yes. Omaha won. The score, by
the way, was II to E.
The Buffaloes were in a hitting
mood and hammered no less than
two Of Manager Metz's Sioux City
pitchers for an even dozen hits, of
which two were home runs and FIVE
were doubles, for total of "a
bases. Whitley" Gislason made u
double, Haney made double and
two singles, Lee got two singles,
Mason made a double, Massey
soaked out double and Boss Burch
collected two-bagger.
Slim Davenport, the baby of the
Buffaloes' pitching staff, performed
on the mound He hurled we'll in
the early rounds, but weakened as
the game grew old. "Slin" was
backed up by dandy support, every
Buffalo covering his respective posi-
ton like the Pueblo food covered
the Colorado city.
pug" Griffin and "Cy" Lingle
were unable to play and the locals
were weakened, but "Pat" Mason
was inserted out in the sun-garden.
while Burch worked behind the plate
and the team functioned in fine style.
Kiefer started for the Packers, but
he was sent to the showers after
one and two-third innings. The Buff
faloes jumped on the former Mil
waukee hurler for three runs and FIVE
hits, and then husby by the name
of Lott was sent to the mound. The
latter weathered the storm, but dur
ing the six and one-third rounds he
fred the bali at the Buffaloes he was
touched for eight runs and seven
hits.
The Buhaloes started in the first
inning when Haney singled to left.
Lee slammed the ball out to left and
Fred went to second. Lelivelt
forced Lee at second and then stole
the sack, Mason singled, scoring the
two Buffaloes. ...
In the second, Sioux City counted
two runs on a walk, single, stolen
base and another single.
mike" Massey, who played a
swell game at short, doubled TO right
at the start Of Omaha's half of the
second, took third on a sacrifice and
scored on Davenport's big brother
act.
Lelivelt's homer and Mason's
double, coupled with Massey's sacri.
fee, registered two more scores for
the "home boys" in the third, and in
the fifth Lee drew base on balls
and was showed across the plate when
Lelivelt got his second home run.
The Packers scored two more tai
lies in the seventh when Leard
walked. Harbor doubled and Leard
trotted down to second. Metz got
a life on a Buffalo error and Leard
and Harbor scored.
Haney doubled in the seventh and
scored on Lees single. The Buf.
falo third baseman showed enough
speed in coming home from second
that would have been a credit to
Charley Paddock. Lee stole second,
his second stolen base Of the game,
went to third on a passed ball and
scored on Mason's sacrifice to GEN.
