ERRORS COST OMANA CAME Both Teams Put Up a Listles', Ragged Article of the National Game, WELCH IS THE STAR WITH THE STICK the Throw in of a Lo Fiy. DENVER, Aug. % —(8pecial Telegram.)— The Omaha brigade, commanded by Pa Rourke, went down to inglorious defeat today before Packard's bunch of cubs. The attendance was the smallest this season. The contest throughout was & very ragged affair, the players on both sides playing that listless kind of base ball that makes the fans tired. Companion for the visitors was rather erratic at times and allowed hits just when they were needed. The Omaha men touched up Whitridge for more safe ones, but they were far between and netted only two runs. The Denver twirler settled down in the last inmms and shut out the Rourkites in one, two, three order. Denver won the game in the ninth inning when four cubs came galloping over the rubber. Schiel and Scheibeck, Packard's twins, came home on Miller's fumble of Whitridge's single and the Denver slabblat followed them across the rubber on the throw in from left of Jones' fly. Delehanty then came up and brought Radcliffe in on his long drive out to Milier. Denver started the run getting in the first, when McHale lanibasted the sphere for a two-bagger to center and came home on Schiel's single to Carter's garden. Nothing more was doing for the Grizzlies until the sixth. Delehanty scored in this inning on McHale's long fiy to center field. Omaha scored its two runs in the fourth and fifth fnnings respectively. In the fourth, “Handsome Jack’ Thornton crossed ‘the platter on o wild throw of 8chlel, & pass und a hit by Weich. Carter scored in the fifth on a long hit by Miller. This ended Omaha's scoring. At many times during Ahe melee the visitors had men on third, but Whitridge settled down and retired the side. Attendance 7. The DENVER., AB.
