(Special Telegram.) Before the largest crowd of the season, the Saints and Rourkes split a double bill today. The Rcurkes winning the first, 9 to 2, and the Saints grabbing ;he final game from the fire in the ninth inning by a 5 to 4 score. It was awful base ball which the Saints exhibited in the first game and the big crowd was obviously and loudly disgusted with the amatuer tactics shown, but in the second the Hanlon men found themselves and played snappy base ball. Poor coaching, miserable base run- : ing, lack of ability to hit when hits meant runs and corner lot base ball marked the play of the Saints in the first game. - . Fined Thieman for 14. " Thieman was found for 14 in the first game by the Rourkes and was pounded to every corner of the "ball park. Otto Merz, who opposed him, wass pitching good ball all the way, relaxing a bit in the ninth when he allowed the Saints to score two runs. Young Luschen, who was formerly a member of the Omaha team, not only pitched good ball for the Saints in the second game, but also won his own game by singling with two men on bases in the ninth. Vangilden got into hot water in the beginning of the eighth and gave way to uhr, who pitched good ball, a there were two men on bases and none out when Fuhr took the mound the loss of the game goes to Van gilden. , Base Ball far From Dead. Concerning the fact that the Saints are in sixth place the crowd was an exceptionally good one and displayed the fact that base ball is far from beind dead in this man's town. Tony Defate was the hitting and folding ' star with the visitors and much credit also goes to Bill Jackson and Bashang for their splendid stick work, i . , The crowd became so disgusted with the playing of the Saints' in the fsrst game that the applause changed to acclaim for the Omaha players, but in; the second the home." team re trieved mucn ot the honors lost in the first contest and again gained the favor of the fans. Cicux City and Des Moines Creak Even in Double-Header Sioux City, la., May 19. Sioux. City and Des Moines split even ir. a double-header here today, the Packers taking the first game, 4 to 3, and Des Moines winning the second, 14 to 2. Bunched hits were responsible for Sioux City's victory in the filst parae. The Des Moines. hitters pounded two Sioux City pitchers in the second con test for 14 runs. The champions took - advantage of Sioux City's crippled catchers and stole eight bases during the second (tame. Score, first ame: DES MOINES. SIOUX CITY AB.H.O.A.E. AB.H.O.A.B.

LARGE CROWDS WATCH AMATEUR PLAYERS CLASH More Than 4,000 See Games at Riverview; Metcalfes Take Lead in Greater Omaha League. By FRANK QUIGLEY. Climatic conditions in every thing were nearly as good as if tailor made yesterday and the fans paid their respects to amateur manipulators of the pill by turning out in circus crowds at the various parks. As cus tomary the largest crowd was at Riverview park. Approximately 4,000 adorned the bleachers and side lines. The next largest crowd was at Thirty second and Dewey avenue. At the pay-as-you-enter enclosed , parks where the stars of this burg 'dish up their wares, the attendance fell below he expectations of the directors. Carl Stengel, who is pastiming with the Brandeis troupe, is not the only Omatia player who wears spectacles while playing base ball. Carl was the sole proprietor of said distinction for many moons, but now he has com petition. Another youngster tagged Joseph Hafner, an out fielder belong ing to the Riggs Optical bunch wears a pair of extra glims, while working on the diamond. He has one advan tage over Stengel because the optical company would probably donate a new pair of lights, if while on duty he wrecked his sight machinery. A chicken ball sailed over the boards and smashed the windshield of Mr. Hazen's automobile, while he was a spectator at Holmes' park. He is the father of Edward Hazen, local ball tpsser of repute. Swing Into Lead. By handing: the much touted Kra- iiceks a big dose of defeV, the Met calfs swung into first place in the Greater Omaha league. Hanson, pitcher for the Metcalfs, zinged one for the limit. Peter McCoy, the terror of batsman, proved an easy mark yes terday. It was said that an injury to his side was responsible for his inef fective work. Across the oond the Armours, woke up and trounced the Longeways. -Grandpa Andy Graves, the 45-year-old colt, was responsible for the grapes. He spanked one with the bases chucked for the limit and just for good measure he zipped an other for a home run. Nothing particularly excitine hap pened in the City league except the close wrangle between the Furniture and Brotherhood teams. The Stags and National Registers are still hold ing the fort. Roots Are Licked. At Miller park the duel for. the attic position of the Booster league was staged between the J. B. Roots and Trimble Juniors. The result was a death blow to followers of the Roots. A 10-to-0 victory perched the Trimble Juniors at the top of the ladder. In the American league the Sample-Harts and Florence Mer chants are still knotted for the roof. Next Sunday one of them is due to slip, because they bump each other. The McCaffrey Motor gang had their row with the Sarnple-Harts sewed up until the final chapter, when the Harts served the real stuff instead of samples. Four runs . and the game were nailed in the ninth, inning. The final count being 8 to 7. Tames Mirasky of the Sample Harts bagged one for the circuit, with one of his partnerse-loafing at corner two. Four teams are tied for position two in this league. The Florence Merchants and Trimble Bros, were trotting along even until the last round when the Merchants got busy and hauled in six runs. Three baggers by Nufer and Lane helped some. That brawl between the Dresher Bros, and Daily News, which trave the crown of the Inter-City league temporarily to the News crowd was protested by the clothiers. The um pire's roof was a trifle cloudy relative to what decision to make when a batsman strikes at a ball that hits him, as a consequence he called a uresher gent out on the second strike. The directors ordered the game to be replayed, so these two teams will fight again for the sky position. Yesterday the Daily News band stayed at the top after a tight squeeze with the Krajicek Jrs., the final count being 5 to 3. Edward Trummer of the McCaffrey Motor Co. bounced on one for a trip around the paths. Conlan of the Ramblers was about as active as Douglas Fair banks. He collected two' home runs.
