Looks Like Denver Dldn t W HARRINGTON HOLDS | OMAHATO TWO HITS And One of the Said Hits Was One Credited to Bobbie Wells on a Technicality. 10U NORTH IS HAMMERED HARD The southpaw slants of one Harrington proved far too much for the well known Rourkes to cope with yesterday. As & result the Rourkes made no runs, only two hits and lost the fray, 8 to 0. Mr. Harrington, be it known, wi hurling considerable base ball yesterday. Of the two hits made, one was not a hit, but aeccording to the arbitrary rules of base ball it must be called a hit, although | the official scorer for some reason or | other overlooked it. In the first frame | Krug got to first on an error. Wells poked a grounder which would have been easily gobbled up by Galloway, but Krug | threw one of his hoofs In the way of the | ball and was declared out. The rule book says Wells is entitled to & hit and he must be given it. ‘The other hit combed off Mr. HAH’In‘- ton was a clean single In the second, but it came when two were down and Varney couldn't produce. wi in Fourth, Harrington was in trouble only In one frame, the fourth. In that spasm he soaked Wells in the slats and issued passes to Schliebner and Varney. But he hitched up his trousers and whiffed Lou North, thus pulling himself out of the troublous waters. On the other hand North was soft picklings for the Grizzlies. In the first round they scored four runs and then made four more in the subsequent three frames for good measure. Jim Galloway poled a home run over the right field wall was & part of the festivities In the first. In addition to being ineffective North was wild. He passed five men and poked three In the slats, Shields being beaned twice. Krug Plays at Short. Manager Marty Krug played short yes- terday and barring his fallure to hit safely played a whale of a game. He made a one-handed stop of a hard| grounder and two catches of short flies in left that were of the brilllant order. Lee Tannehill played third and easily demonstrated that nobody either in the Western league or any other league has anything on him in the fielding depart- ment. A double bill is carded for today. First game will be called at 2 o'clock. Score: . 0. A B Spencer, cf.

T7.—Detroit won two games from Philadelphia here today, the first 4 to 1 and the second 3 | 2 iIn ten Innings. The visitors secured { their victory in the opening event by i hard hitting and Coveleskle's good twirl- ing. In the second game Dubuc and Wyckoff had a battle until the tenth inning, then with one out Dubuc singled and Vitt doubled, the former being run out on Bush's grounder, but Vitt reaching third old pennant. These reasons are “Ty" Cubh “Bobby” Veach and “Sam"” Craw- more than anything else, for the standing ot the Tigers today. Hughle Jennings {s lamentably short on good pitchers, but the batting department has the kept the team out in the front. As a run getting organization the Tigers bow to no jeam ford, and they are three of the best |in the league. In nearly every game they reasons that a ball team could have. This great swatting trio is responsible, [ordinary xu.mn | play they pile up enough runs to win any When the Tigers are beaten it is due to poor pitching alone Cobb 18 having one of the best seasons of his career and he has been the big show for ten years, He ls hitting well over .40 and constantly climbing.

Three harness races which could have been made more exciting only by putting w'ngs on the horses, rewarded the crowds, Though Columbia Fire, an outsider, won the feature race, it was a Nebraska vice tory and a popular one. Although Col= lego Gont, the favorite, and Hal McKin- ney, the next cholce, were beaten, the grandstand cheered to the echo the magnificent race put up by the rugged bay pacer which proved the winner. College Gent a Fighting Pacer. Yet, it must be sald that the racing of the big biack demon, College Gent, the feature of the 2:08 pace. He was flghting at the wire for every one of the five heats. He went the overland routs every heat and paced every mile as fast or faster than the winner.
