e e I o S U AR e "o WILLIS WAS BADLY RATTLED He and the Umplire Succeed in Los- - ing the Game to Omaha. WILD THROWS AND RANK RULINGS One of the Poorest Exhibitions of Ball Playing Ever Seen on the Omaha Grounds ~Other Sports. Des Moines 12, Omaha 8. Licked, and by a lot of old holiyhocks from Des Moines. That is the size of yesterday afternoon’s Jgame at the ball park. It was a burning shamo, and the 500, spec- tators sighed disgustedly as the last man went out and that old relic of the stone age, Dicky Phelan, cried exultingly, “I told you 80.” The Omahas pranced around upon the tonder green grass in preliminary practice like a lot of young colts at play. They knew they had a snap, and they rompea over the fleld in flendisn glee. The Probibitionists were quiet and sub- dued, yot there was a defiant and very wicked look in their eyes. Tt was no biuff, cither, for they gave the white socks a most humiliating threshing. “Thirk of it! Des Moines 12; Omaha 3, Wasn't that a cuckoo! 1t was a bad day for ball players, howover, especially Omaha players. They batted like & lot of school girls and ran bases like so many saddle rocks. Young Mr. Willis, too, was in an' entirely 00 kind & mood. His generosity, in fact, smounted aimost to prodigulity. Why, ho gave nine men_bases on_balls, forcing _two runs across the plate, and was milder than one of those steeds we read sbout on Moeric's boundiess plains. Ina word, he was rattled. 1ut the best of them ot that way once in a while, and there’s no fiicic coming. Usually he is a heady, clever little twirier, and will round to all O. K. when his turn comes again, Nobody creamed that Omaha could lose after hor magnificent work of the past ten days, and everyoody looked to her to knock ‘out another victory mfi enough to eat hay. Bu lightning, you know, doesn’t always strike six or seyen times in the same place. S0 tho sudience, who have become entirely oo gay ana flossy of late, didu't do auy very startling amount of chicering. KEven Dr. Hanchett failed to emit his _customary war whoop. There was no end of the “‘beefing,” however, in the grand stand, and Umbire Kelloy was. unu\crcirull{ roasted. Ho was fairly burned at the stake, and even threat- ened to havea couple of Lumultuous partisans in the grand stand fired. But it isn’t Lalf Kelley's fault, The best umpire in the land couldn’t bave saved that game. The result was something like a just rotri- bution, for the audience made fun of the little boys from Des Moines the moment they camo on the grounds. But they got square with a vengeance, for the game was their's all the way through, and the laugh was on their side. Joe Strauss walked right up to the plate in tho first inning_and banged Mr. Emmerke for a single without half trying. The President followed with a similar hit, but the Freuch count was a Lttle too kitten- ish and in trying to make third on the stroke he was put out. The man with the silvery jaw was out for 100, 80 he just cracked out a single likewise, sending Cleveland round to third. But that settled it. We didn’t get a run. Andrews and Cooney wero both neatly thrown out at first. The Prohibitionists suffered a still worse fate, for they were extinguished in one, two three order.” A couple of marvelous balls, however, on the part of Cleveland, was the potent factor in this result. 1t was another cipher for tho white socks in the sccond, Macullar making a grand one- hand catch of a hot high liner from Cana- van's bat. Right here Willis opened his heart and vo old man Phelan his base for nothing. ‘hen he actually stole second, and, ye gods, third, too. 1t took the people’s breath to see a man run so in such an advanced stage of senility. But this was just the beginning of Willis! charitable work. Straightway he presented String Smith his base on four more wide balls, then he capped the climax with an untamed pitch and Grandpapa Phelan reached the plate on a wild throw by Nagle over third. Gracious! What a groan there was at that. Smith made third on this same disastrous pitch, but was doubled up a wmoment later with Counell. A hearty cheer went up at this, But it was nipped right in the midst of its cheerfulness. Hart sent a hot one way out into left for two bags, und Trafley and Emmerke fol- lowed with three sackers, and all three erossed the rubber, the latter on another horribly wild pitch. Four runs! Murder! That was awful ! 8 Pdntlon struck out and Des Moines took tho But they didn’t_stay there long, for al- though Willis got to first on a fumble by Macullar, he was quickly doubled up with =|.mm, and Cleveland retired from pitch to rat. The Prohibitionists also drew & blank, and did Omaha sgain 1 the fourth. They ldn’t hit & hittle bit, and a small boy on the bleachers advised them to ‘‘got a shovol.” For the lowans, Connell futiley banged the wind, and it was blowing, you can bet, t guns ull the afternoon, and may have ad somothing to do with Mr. Willis' rosy porformance, Hope so, anyway. Hart made & two-paggoer, but Billy Traf- fley struck ovt, and it didn't look much liike srun. But thut was where looks were do eeiving. Patton made first on an_error by Walsh, thon Wiltis gave Macullar and ola man Phelan their base iu succession, forcing Hart and Traftley across the plate in spite of themselves, This was considered the quintesence of richness, and the crowd yelled derisively. ‘Willis lookoed as 1if he wished he was far from the madding crowd. Two more ruus, Again it was one, two, three for thefwhite socks in the fifth, and avain Des Moines came in and piled up four more runs, It was 00 easy. They simply lined the ball out for asingle, adouble and a_triple, and Willis accomplishied the rest with a brace of basos on balis, and a pair of lovely wild pitehos. The Omahas finally managed to break their run of bad luck in the soventh. An- drews got his base on balls and was driven bowme on Cleveland's three-bagger, the latter scoring ou Nagle's hit. Des Moines also made one in this inning, @8 sho did also in the sixth. Tuen she quit. Omaha made one more tally in the eiglith, and that was the last, so it was the old sang, one, Lo, three In tho ninth. e:ll the people filed sadly out of the nds, Here, look at these figures: OMALAL loica-ccats AB, B, P wlesemcnome ol cococcesed Bl camomBron | qocar e wl cmomcocea®i = uskrey, If. crx=clamuxd merke, p. .. *Out for running out o 1Bl sgsamscac scccoomcc?™| i SUNMARY.

If her appearance is due to the ob- servance of the reform policy in dress which she advocates, she has an irrefutable argu- ment. Her address, yesterday afternoon, was upou the “Artistic in Dress.” She said that she oxpected to be called a crank, as all advocates of reforms ure, and to o com- pelled to run _the gantletof public opinion, as aoes everg one who has tho temerity to express tho need of a_reform. She desired w speak plainly, to call things by their right namos, and wen? to the heart of hor subject at once by showing the evils that arise from the prosent style of feminine wearing ap- parcl. “Women wear burdens on thelr backs,” said Mrs, Miller,” thut rob them of health and that_freedom of action that is necessary to successful physical develop- ment.” She claims that & woman's dress should be so made that_her legs would be separately covered, to the abolition of under- skirts and petticoats. *And why not call a woman's legs by their right names!” said the fair speaker. Do you suppose that the Almighty intended that only men should have legs?" “Aftor expressing her disgust with over- prudish people, Mrs. Miller procecded to de- scribe the wearing apparel that she advo- catos as a substituto for tho prosent ultra fashionable, health-destroying style of fomi nine wear. Furst, the bustle and tho corsot must go. The first is not artistic and the corset is positively cruelly hurtful. Awoman who wears a corset, claimed the spe: not stand erect, can not sit properly, h freedom of moveuent, and unfits hersel the high mission she i3 born to perform, She does away with petticonts, underwaists and drawers, and supplants them with first a union garment in one piece, and over that a sccond garment in one pioce ending at tho knee, vhich she calls @ leglet. For somo people a separate waist is required. ‘Tn this manner she escapes all banas and ligatures around the waist. The sdvantages resulting from this sty le of apparel are the removal of all weight from the waist and shoulders, tho proper covering of the limbs—or legs, as Mrs. Miller wouid kay—and tho great free- dom of movement. Mrs. Miller exhibited a number of different styles of dresses and cxplained the advant- agges of baving them adapted to the reform vlan, You Nee to overcome that Lired feoling cause sonson, climate or ! the system it p earnestly urge th euchors, housewives, operatives and of have been closely confined during the winter and who need a good spring mediclne to take H ocod’s Barsapa rilla “Kor yonrs at irrezular intervals in all seasons, [ sufferod th tolerable burning and itehing of blood poisoniug by tvy. 1t would browk out on my les, in my throatanl .
