Jt Wns Not n Pretty fJaine In Any fiptiHO Lincoln nnd KIIMHUH Oily Have n Cli- CUM Time. Omaha , 19 ; Denver , 0. Lincoln , 13 ; Kansas City , B. St , Paul , 10 ; Stmix City , 4. Mlnncniolls [ , 8 ; Milwaukee , T. i Yesterday was an ideal summer day , ono of thpso days when uverybody wants to bo out dooM , whcro they can hear the chirping of the lltllo dlckoy birds nnd foul the fresh ening brcezos from the prairies fan their classic brows and curl In and out among their whiskers. It was also ono of these days made for ball playing , and the usual tremondojs Sunday crowd sauntered out to McCormlck park to watch the Delivers stumble through u game. And they were not disappointed. They not only saw the Dcnvors stumble tbrouch a giiino , but the Omahas also , for dmpHo the paucity of marks In the error column , the gatno was about as bum u ono as two first- class teams could put up , But as long ns the Lambs won the game It would bo Idiotic to grumble , for It is games won that mak"s pennant winners , and that is what wo all want to see Shannon's mon do- vcloo Into baforo the hazy days of October roll 'round. Still , every lever of our great national sport likes bettor to look on at a good game , replete with brilliant work nnd excit ing situations , than they do ono played out in pure bull-headed lurk. And yet If there is to ho any bull-headed luck , It is a nlco thing to sue It on our sldo. And that's where It was yesterday. Of the Coloiado delegation i'ebcau nnd WcrrlcK were the only ones with sufficient move on them to lead the spectators to believe - liovo that they were alive. But to Wldto Wings himself belongs the largest gob of glory. Houas mad and red headed , of course , but who wouldn't have been under the circumstances , and yet ho played ball all the time. Batting , fielding mm running bases with the same esprit that marked hU early days In Cincinnati and at the same time coaching and directing thu rest of his men with n keenness and intelli gence that was deserving of nbottur fato. King ( iaITiicy , while not exactly nt his best , was about as edifying as the game Itself. His llngeolotto voice and the hocus pocus ho per forms with the balls not In use tickled the croud half to death. Ho had nn exceedingly difficult game to adjudicate and while ho inndo several seeming mistakes it Is dollars to dimes ho wasn't olT very much In any de cision ho rendered. If either side suffered , however , from the numerous close shaves which bespattered the game it was Denver. Still she couldn't have won the game under any circumstances , unless four or five of the Lambs broke their logs or some other Im probable Interposition occuncd. ihowholo mountain outfit from Manager Van down to Kcofo and the other bench warmers seemed stiff nnd sere and out of condition. Once In the trim of Omaha , Lin coln , Sioux City or Milwaukee , physically , 1UIU kUU.y II lUKU U I1UUU 111 UlU ll Ub bUUlU selves. Mark that. Norman Bnkor and Texas McNahb wore the opposing twirlers , and both were tis wild ns n scart rabbit. McNabb gave seven men their base on balls , nnd smashed four others in various parts of tboir anatomy , while Nor man reciprocated with a llko number of balls nnd oastcd a couple of moro himself. Mc- Habb wns hit safely sixteen times , but Nor man lot down for just half that number. So you can see the two pitchers were right in the thickest of the fra } ' . Promptly nt half-past U King GalT emerged from the olub house , and the crowd gave liim another ovation. Ho is never a moment too soon , or n moment too late , but always on time to the dot , and never shows himself until ho makes his appearance. You don't believe It , well go out this after noon and see for yourself. "Play ball 1" ho crlod In stentorian tones , nnd Jimmy Donnelly trotted to the plate , then trotted back to the bench again , his pop-up having fallen Into Josophus Werrlck's bunds. Halllgait wont to first on bulls , and the crowd clapped Its hands , and so did "Old Cy , " and the crowd whooped , and so did Larry , nnd the crowd roared. Ci'raclousl but that wns funl Mr. McNabb was just fairly tearing 'em off. Deacon Griffin folded up the Sunday School Advocate at this critical porlod , and frIdlng it nicely ho put It in his hip pocket , picked up a convenient club , and strode to the plate. "Now Sardy , line her out , you kin do It , " nnd n well known voice quavered among the rafters. And Sandy aid line her out n buto for two bags nnd ns Jocko and "Old Cy" waltzed in the crowd shouted Itself hoarse. Walsh gave thorn no chance for rest , for ho gracefully pushed out a safe ono. and the Commotion ) jolnod Hnlligan and Sut on the bench , and Iho Deacon moved on to third. A moment later Joe stole second , and then ho nnd Sandy ran homo together on Clark's safe swipe. Five runs In the first , nnd Shannon and McCanloy a thousand miles away I Great , wasn't It } Dad burgled second amid the excitement nnd McNabb again opened his heart and jjnvo Trnflloy his base an balls. But the fun ceased right hero. Baker was thrown out at first nnd Jimmy Donnelly , who had furnished Iho first out , sent a second ono Into the air. White Wings got it. Then Denver came In and when McCloIlan struck out as a starter the bleachers began to guy hor. They didn't keep It up very long , thoueh , for Norman sent Worrick to first on n quar tette of wild ones aud Toboau laid his stick against another for u single. Wcrrlek scored. Baker didn't want McNnbb to have any of tbo best of It , so ho just gave Curtis his baao , but In the meantime White Wings had been caught napping at second nnd wns thrown out , Walsh's error lot Curtis In. nnd then the suspense wns nbout over. White , liowovor , made n hit but was loft , O'Brien being thrown out by Walsh. The second was profitless , so far ns Omaha wns concerned , but It was Denver's harvest. Lohbock wa.s tha first man to bat , nnd not lining his looks vary well , Halter socked him in the ribs with the ball. "Oh , Hear Mo , Norman 1" crlod the grand stand. Then when ho struck McNnbb out they laughed and cheered merrily , fsst Llttlo rocked they of the woo to como. McCloIlan wont to first on balls but wns forced nt socoond on Worrick's little tap to Walsh. Then Whlto Wings picked out nu- other npo one , nnd Lohbcck scored. Curtis was balled to tint , nnd the bags wcro nil full. full.Tho The grand stand hold Its breath. It was n critical juncture. Everybody strained their visual organs to see Norman do something. Ho did U. Ho gave White Wings bis base and Worrick wa forced home. There wns a mighty groan at that , and a mightier ono still , when the next moment McOarr sent up a high one , right Inside the diamond , not ton feet from the Deacon , and the Deacon let it descend safely to mother earth I Old Cy made a herculean effort to got It himself , but his logs were too short bv JtiJt n yard , nnd before ho could orabraco the nphcra Whlto Wings nnd Curtis both bad ilawn in , and tlio bags still hold two. Wasn't ( lint just simply simple ) O'Brien struck out , but n soppy blanket liad been spread over tbo spectators , nnd the achievement was greeted with silence. They thonght the game was lost , just be cause' the visitors were one ahead , and their spirits were rapidly tilcullug uowti through too cracks In the grand stand. But in the tlfth the Lambs forged to tha bnad again , and everything was hilarity and sunihino sgaln. Sutcllffe reached first on the Chlppoy's fumble. Twlteholl was bit with the ball , and Uriftln made his third safe hit , nnd there you are , sir , The two first scored and the crowd wns craty again. ll was n blank for the visitors. la the sixth on Baker's and Do nnclly' two-bagcers , Halllgau's single ami Twitch oil' * doublu , tbroo more rum ware piled up , nnd In the eighth they added only five more , nnd lot 'cm oil In the ninth for three , but It would t > o tiresome to tell bow It wa nil done , there was so much of It. In the Intorroftrum White Wing's gang succeeded In scoring three times only , run ning their score up toulne , just ono-nalf that of Omaha. Hero uro the details : OMAHA , All. II. 111. Bit , hit.

Jfayor MoHby Mtikca Good Ills Talk About Sunday OIIIIICH. CINCINNATI , O. , May 24. Moro than two thousand people paid admis sion to the association ball grounds today. Each ono on entering the gala received a ticket containing an order fern n refund of bis admission foo'lu case tbo game was prevented by pollco Interference , ana an hour later each ono used his tlckot it obtaining the refund. The Athletics mndo the run from Phlladol phia in tbo uparallolod time of eighteen hours. They wont U ) batand played the llrst Inning without making a run. Tbo Cmcau- uatls then played till two men were out. At that moment Colonel Phil Dorsoh sururlntoudont of pollco , commanded a cap tain to march n company of blue coats to the front In line of buttlo nt carry arms. When this force halted on the vcrpo of the Hold of operations , Colonel Uorsch very quietly Informed - formed the players that they were under arrest , nnd must goto the station houso. The gnnio stopped ut once , the players changed their clothing nnd wont to tbo station house In tbo omnlbusoJ that had brought thorn to the grounds. The spectators smiled good naturally and the crowd soon molted away. There was no show for resistance , nor was any disapprobation manifested by the specta tors. There were sixty pollco under the command of the captains on the grounds nnd outaldo were three pollco patrol wnirons well manned and a quadron of mounted pollco under the command of n captain. Kvcry body seomcd entertained by the military maneuvers of the pollco as they moved from point to point. The players wcro not humiliated by being urivon through the city , but were allowed to drlvo to the nearest station. Thcro they were released on n boud of f.WU each to appear before the pollco court tomorrow. Mr. Ottoo K Uolz signed their bonds , which aggregated fi.-IOO. It is said that Mr. Hunan , the presi dent of the club , will demand n trial by jury , nnd that In Cincinnati on question * involv ing the Sunday laws usually means a dis agreement. The reason for allowing both clubs to play was to obtain ovldcuco of an overt violation of the Sunday law. WON I.V TUB NIVTIt. CoLUMnus , O. , May 24.
