Des Moines, Milwaukee Omaha 7, St. Joseph 2. And you Cidn't see the gamo yesterday af- ternoon? Well, you missed it. It was ladies’ day, and thero was a groat crowd of the gentle ones on hand. They filled every one of the reserved seats and dotted the grand stand here and thero in gay colored little groups. It was probably their inspiriting LISknch that spurred the Omahas on to such a splen- did victory. ‘Why, they began hitting at the very start, and soon had such & lead thav it thoroughly disheartened the big lubberly team from flown tho river. Crowall was in the points for the_visitors, and the lambasting he got made him pale about the gills. Ho doean’t, think halt as much of himself now as he did a duy or two since. Kid Nichols did the rotating for the Oma- ‘has, and what a game he did vlay! hy, Charlie Lord’s biggest hitters were like pigmies In his hands, and the ouly two runs ttey got were the products of errors. o, jlnfle the bell, and jingle it long, and Jingle it loud Like Dick the three times, Omaha is her- self again. Messitt was tho first to bat, and he pro- ceoded to go out on a long, high fly to left. ‘Whitney then threw veland out_at_first, put Josie Strauss reached second on Frye's miserable muf? of his lon hit. Yum! yum! yum! but the iadies thought that was'ice. Crooks, the cherub, then stepped up to the late and sent Joe home on a slashing single left. Coonoy then smashed outa home yun, and Walsh a_three-bagger, and for a lew moments you'd 'a thought that Bedlam broken loose. ‘There were three runs, and how they did tackie the audience. Unfortunately, however, Walsh did not get in; Nagle was thrown out by the pitcher, and Joe was left. St. Joe’s first inning only inaugurated a long series of goose eggs. After big Cartright had struck out, Curtis ook his base on au error by Messitt, only to be forced out, however, “on Ardner’s hit. Krelg then made a single, and ~Ardner flow round to third, and it looked like a run. But that was ull it did—look like a run— for Crooks then threw Shellhasso out at first. ‘Omaha kept up her lively work in the sec- ond, which Canavan began by smashing out & homer himself. “Hey! hoy! hey!" cried tho excited audi- anu. a8 the smooth little fielder circumnavi- od the diamond. 0 Kid was thrown out by the pitcher, ‘but Scrappy Jack reached first on an error of St. Joe's sunset-haired short ston. He stole second, and dashed over the rubber on Urover's honey - montgomery to right. Strauss and Crooks then gracefully retired, and the red-hosed lads came 1n. Iu?t neat double play marked the visitors' J¥'rye was given a lifo by Crooks, who missed his very difficult fiy, but only to be doubled up with the bright-haired Smith, ho hit to Crooks, who threwto Walsh, and B to [Messitt, in Jess time than you could say e ts set everybody to cheering again, and ‘Whlv.ney'- out at first put them inevena h{pler mood. n the third, after Cooney and Walsh-had « n retired, Nagle made a hit and scam- Ipered way around to third ou Shellhasse’s Wila throw. 13uh Ganavan went out from ‘Ardner to first, and Omaha took the field. It was ehort work lor in her half, (Crowell fanned out; ev d - captured K..\\rbrlxhl 's high foul, &ml Curtis flew out to ‘Cooney. 1 The locals drew blanks in the fourth and #ifth, vut in the sixth added another run to aheir string. It was mado by Joe Walsh—who played one of the most brilliant games you ever saw—being a long, clean sockdolager clear 20 the left field corner for four cushions ! Oh, papa! how the people did applaud the little, slender, red-headed youth as he came flashing like a streak of light across the plate. Up to this time the visitors had only suc- ceeded in getting but one man to third, and ey played with about as much_spirit’ as a t of old women picking huckleberries, In the seventh, though, thanks to Jack Messitt’s third error, they managed to break $he jce; that is, they' didn’t break any ice, becauso there' was no ice there, but you know what's meant—they made a run, Shellhasse opendd up the inning by a clean hlt, only to be neatly folded up with Frye, however, who hit to the ubiquitous Walsh, whno ran to second, tapped it with his_ little | foot, killing Sholly, then firing it to Messitt n0d knocking out Mr. Frye. Again und again was Joseph greeted with & storm of approvatory *“hey! hey ! heys!” Right after this piece of glittering work Meossitt muffed Cleveland’s throw of Smith's hit, and Whitney sent him across the plate s- « straddle a splendid throe-bagger. In justice to Messitt it must be said that Grover's throw was a little wide, and Jack meedn't care for his three errors, for he plays ball all the time and everybody is satistied ‘with his worl. In the eighth the Omahas made their last run. Walsh mado his third hit, and quickly stolo second, running home a moment later on Na- le’s hummer to left. Nagle was forced out )y Canavan, who took second on Nichols llLrIfi(‘u Then Messitt got his base on balls, but both were loft on Cleveland’s long fly to T I{l their half the St. Joe's managed to squeeze in another tally, Cartwright led off with a hit. He was reed out at second by Curtis, who stolo second und went to third ou Ardner’s out at Arst, and scored on Krlug‘n out. The next uan was quickly retired, and 80 the game a nice victory for Omuha. Al:d still some of the spectators were not d. They said the Black Sox--they chlllxcd thalr l.lo-o yesterday—should have *shut 'em wnn @ whole lot it takes to please some ,utla.
