Following are the positions of the two toams for this afternoon’s battle: Kriog Willis., Omaha 15, St. Joseph 2. Omuha and Sf. Joe met at tho local park yesterday afternbon. and played the second Ramo of the present serics in the presence of 1,500 delighted spectators. And agaiv Omaha won. Thus, of the five games the two teams have played, the Omahas have won them all but one, and that one was a tie on fourteen in- nings. \Bo‘su:rday'n victory was due to two things, Clarke's masterly pitching aud the Omaha's terrific slugging, They found Kiopf's curves just as oasy as rolling off o log. He was rottenly supported, however, and yet that circumstance aidn’t aftect the resalt, for the White Sox earned ten of thoir fiftecn runs by the neatest kina of hitting. But what makes this triumph doubly sweet 18 the fact that Sioux City lost to Den- ver yesterday, and again we are in second place. And please don’t forget it, we're going to stay there, or go up front. But as to the game: Messitt knocked a little one to Ardner and was thrown out at first, Grover got his base on balls, but was forced out by Strauss, who also aied in an attempt to steal second. The St. Joe's opened up fiercely, and the crowd said we'ro beat, But that was all the crowd knew about it. Big Caruright lead off with a hit and stole second. Curtis went out on a high foul to essitt, Ardner was thén given a lfe on Strauss’ muff, and Krieg his on a wild throw by Clarke. Cartright scored on this play and Frye's hit forced Ardner at third. Shellhasse then flew out to (Canavan, so an inning that threatened direful consequences only resuited in one little run, That was sufficient, however, to set the ronsters in the grand staad to work, In the second Mr. Crooks flew outto Kriea, but Cooney lined out a safe one. He was caught stealing second, however, and Waish's fly to Frye closed the inning. Campana started the visitors’ half with a rattling drive to right, and on a_similar hit |'by Whitney, he went to third. Whitney im- mediately tried to steal second, thinking that {Nagle wouldn't dare throw to put him out, 'but that’s where he made a mistake. 1 Nagle did throw, and quick and accurate, %00, and Whitney went and sut down, while | Campana hufii{od third as if it had been his | best girl. lopt flew out 1o Canavan, and Oartwright to Crooks. That was'right lively work, and the audi- enoe onjoyod it immensely. Nagle began the third with a single to center, but Canavan went out on a grounder to Cartwright. Clarke took his base on . balls, but both were left, Messitt and Grover being quickly retired. ‘This made the spectators fidget in their soate, and all over the stand you could hear, “We're licked again.” For St. Joe it was one, two, three. That was encouraging. Ip the fourth the score was tied, and the wudience smiled contentedly. Again, for St. Joe, it was one, two, three. That Was 1more encouraging in the next inning Omaha went to the front, and the smile of contentment wreath- ing the faces of the cravks grew broader than ever. Canavan took his base on four wide balls. Clarke flew out to Ardner, but Scrappy Jack made a hit and Canavan galivanted around to third, and scored on the ex-president’s out st firston o throw from Arduner. Ardner also threw Strauss out, 11 you will observe, Ardner cut a decided figure in St. Joe's work yesterday, BEight put outs and four ussists 1s a record to be Pproud of. For Lord’s aggregation, Whitney reached on Cooney's muff, but was quickly and systematically done up with Klopf by Walsh, rooks and Messitt. This evoked a gentle roar. Cartright was thrown out by Clarke, And agawn in the sixth, the White Sox soored. Crooks went to first on balls, stole second by ploughing up several yards of turf with his proboscis; reached third on Cooney’s out, then crossed the plate on Nagle's second hi after Walsh had been retired at first. Can van went out from pitch to cateh. The score now stood 510 1, und tke people felt better. St. Joe's half was marked by an extraordi- parily brilliant play on the part of Captain Crooks and Jos Walsh. Curtis made a hit. Ardner went out from Crooks to Messitt, then Krieg made a little curving fly to short infieled, which Crooks by s lfbendld run scooped up just as it was asbout o light on terra firma—yes, terra firma, thay's tho word—and with” a double-jointed, back action fling, slammed it to Walsh, who had covercd second, and Curtis and the side Was out. ‘That was pretty flelding and no mistake. The next iuning, the sanguinary seventh, ved St. Joe's Chicamauga and " Bridge of di combined. For u few ments it looked asif there ‘was o snower of leather, and the big Mis- sourians could be seen dashing frantically about the ficld likea flock of stfeep ina thunder storm, Daoddy Clarke fivst stirred up the animals WiLh a two-bagger to left; Messitt got to first |éy Campana's juggle, but was forced out by levelund’s youthful punch to Whitney, Clark, however, making third on it. Strauss oamo In at this juncture and smasbed out u double, and Daddy came home with his earned run and Grover went to third, ‘The excitement all this time was some- thing fearful, but in a momeat it changeda to the wildest enthusiasm, Crooks followed with a slashing single, Cooney with his_second two bagges, and Walsh, Nagle and Canavan with singles in such qulu{ succession that it made Mr. Klopf's liead swim. On this broadside Cleveland, Strauss, Crooks, Cooney, Walsh and Nagle scored. This was tremendous, and some of tho crowd did so much yelling thut they’ll be :uclxlupx chiorate of potash fora month of Sun- s, -éllrku again came, tolthe bat, and again he weached first, this time, though, on Frye's muff of nis short tly, Canavau scoriug on the throw in, Messitt's second out retired the side, and seven runs was all that Omaha minaved to guz out of the wreck, Thus Omaba had ten runs, and St. Joe but one, aud overybody ¥or the Jou's, Shicllhusse was thrown out ks, bup Frye got his baso on an ox- bie error by Walsh.

COrowding on the Reservation. N1oBRrARA, Neb., May 23,—1Special to Tur Bek.|—Notwithstanding the warning of Secretary of the Interior Noble that all set- tlers on the Sioux reservation will be ordered off, the crossing over the Niobrara river at this point over the government bridge is continued daily by new comers. Tae tail end of the Oklahoma boowers are daily ar- riving, and their experience at that opening has been such as to lead them into trouble here. They think that the government was very quick to keep them out of that country, but very slow to keep out the speculators who were in with the government ofticials, Thus it is that they feel that “the early bird catches the worm,” and are willing to risk much, They are advised by the better ele- ment here to take no suéh chances, and while some heea the good advice, there are others whose headstrong movements wiil doubtless lead them into trouble, The Iudians on this portion of the reservation would give them no trouble, but the government, as a matter of policy, may. The excellent crossing here, with good roads to Niobrara, both from the south and north, and & steam ferry blyin, betweeh the two shores on the Missourl river, furnishes very easy access to the Sioux reservation boomers, Albin and His Robbers.
