IT WAS A CLEAN SHUT OUT. The White S8ox Capture the Entire St. Joseph Seriea. PLAY THREE ERRORLESS GAMES A Record That No Other Olub in the Oountry Can Boast of— Standing of the Clubs, Omnha 4, 8t. Joseph 0, Omaba took her third straight game from Bt. Joe yesterday. It was the closest and most interesting contest of the series; in fact, was of the brilliant order. The only errors that marred the game on either side were those made by Knell, who, owing to McGarr's sickness, was put 1n at short, He made a oreditablo offort, and did fairly well, considering that he nover filled the position before. The White Sox played without the shadow of a blunder, which makes three straight games they have played without an error— @ record that no other club in the country can boast of. It was a clean cut series, and no mis- ke, Nichols pitched ‘bis usual strong game, allowing the visitors but six singles and striking out ten, The Kid is a dandy. But the story of the game: Willis opened up by getting his base on balls, and Cleveland, suns ceremonie, fol- lowed with u corking drive over the left field fence for a home run. The small crowd shouted jubilantly, Strauss went clear round to second on Knell's wild throw of his grounder. Then Devlin hit Crooks witn_the ball, and Cooney tting his baso by a fumble of Knell, the ases were all occupied. ‘Walsh walked uv to the plate to drive the trio home, but he failed. His little fungo rolled to Ardner, and Ardner threw to Knell and Kunell to Cartwright, aud a neat double rlny was the result. Strauss, however, ran in while this job was being_executed. IAndro\VI‘ vop up w Ardner ended the in- aing. Arduner was quickly extinguisted on a red hot_liner admirably captured by Cleveland ‘with one hand. Curtis got his base on balls and stole both second and third, but could not get home, as the two K's, Krieg and Knell, struck out. No more scoring was done until the fifth inning, when Omaha got in one more, and their last tally. This made four; a highly abundant num- ber, however, as the St Joes never got a smell. After Cleveland's out, Strauss laced out a two-sacker, and after Crooks had flied out, crossed the rubber on Cooney’s safe drive. Cooney was cuught trying to steal second. Although the visitors failed to score, it is a notavlo fact that they had men on bases in every inning but the sixth and ninth. But 80 sharp and accurate was the fielding of the home team that they were never enabled to et in with a run, It was a clean and bril- lant shut out. The score: OMAHA.

CLARKE AND WEHRER HAVE A TILT The Question of School Lot Improve- ments Gives Riso to a Heated Discussion—The Rules Adopted. An Adjourned Meeting. The board of education held an adjourned meeting last night with all the members present except Millard and Coburn, Mr, Clarke had on his war paint and headed the opposition on nearly everything which was proposed. He and Wehrer had a tilt over tho improvement of the Farnam stroet school lot. It was recommendea that this lot and the ono at the Leavenworth strdet schiool be improved by sloping, sodding, fougiog, otc., a a cost of $335 for tho Karpam, 8treot school and 8623 for the Loavenworth school. These figures were rough esthinatés submitted by the superin- tendent 6f buildings as being about the probable cost of the improvements. Mr, Clarke called for an itemized stato- mont of the repaira to be made, and said he was opposed to spending 80 much money on the school proverty. He said the Webster streot schoot was an example of the way the board's money had been wasted. At that place 1mprovements had been made which were a disgrace to the board, and he would ovopose any gmore expenditures of the kind. ‘Webrer arose to remark that the Farnam street school was an eyesore to that part of the town and should be improved for the sake of ‘the reputation of the board. Clarke wanted to know if Superintendent of Buildings Woolley had made any esti- ate of the cost of vhe improvement or just U088 at the cost. ‘oolley stated-that he had made measure- fimllu and estimates but had the figures at ome. Clarke- indignantly asked if any member would accept such an estimate from a me- chauig. Wolirer bobbed up again and defended ‘Woolley, and said that if Clarke was 8o anx- ious for the details he could give them to him himself. Hethought the gentleman was in o great hurry to oppose the improvement of the grounds, and was only opposing it through lagk of knowledge of the facts in the case. He defled Mr. Clarke to find any fault with the Webster school. It was unfit for use before the repairs were made, but now it was all right. The.matter was finally referred back to the superintendent of buildings and the com- mittee oy buildings and property. A lengthy communication was presented from Henry Kummerow, recommending ' that a'superintendent of calisthenigs be ap- vointed to have supervision of the gymnastic exerciges in the schools. He submitted an estimate of the apparatus required to carry out his plan, costing $540. The matter was referred to the committee on special in- struction. The committee on buildings and property recommended the renting of the building on Plerce street owned by Thomas Kane at $25 per month and the south store in Zimmerman's block, corner Eleventh and Pierce, for - $30 per month, Some argument eusued on the adoption of the ro- port of the committee on account of the lat- ter builaing being in close proximity to a saloou, but it was shown that the committee had recommended the only available rooms in that neighborhood. The committee on heating and ventilation reported that they had let the contract for the plumbing in the Walnut Hill building tv Johin Rowe & Co. for §600. At tis point Felton discovered that there 'was a saloon next door to the building on Pierce street recommended by the commit- tee on buildings and property for the Pacific and _moved a reconsideration of the vote by'which the report was adopted.

The bill of the Thomson-Houston Electric Light company for ligiting the High. ‘school grounds was brought up. The hill was referred to tho committee on claims with instructions to ask the council to pay half the bill. This was the sense of an agreement entered into withithe council when the lights were first put into the High school grounds, but the muyor had stated that he would veto the ordinance to pay half of the expense on account of lack of funds. There are now funds in the treasury and it is thought thiat such an ordinance will carry. KRees offered a resclution that one room in the Jackson and cne room in the Pleasant schools be opened when school commences. Clarke moved that it te referred to the committee on teachers and boundaries and the superin- tendent. The motion was lost. The question was then on the resolution, which' was adopted. Mr, Martin then asked for information from the committee on boundaries as to whether they had taken any action on the question of laying down any boundaries, He stated that he had found three vacant rooms in the Bancroft school, while the Hickory school was overcrowded. Tho committee on buildings had been instructed to rentaroom for the overflow from the Higkory school, and thought it might be pos- sible to send, some of the pupils to the Ban- croft school.
