Omaha Hits Three Iowa Hurl
l ffs Hard in Eight Innings
and Cops Contest by
Score of 8 to 4.
Clouting three Des Moines liurlers
' * for a total of 10 hits, the Omaha Buf
' 1 \falose won the second game of the
aeries, 8 to 4, and forged ahead of
the lowana In the league standings.
This morning the Buffaloes are back
In fourth position.
Byron Speece is the happiest mem
ber of the herd today. Before yes
terday the Boosters were Speece's
jinx. He had hurled against the
Towans no less than six times and
had only won one game. Friday he
decided that it was about time he
trimmed the Des Moines club, and
he was right. The Boosters got only
seven hits off Byron and they were
of the Scattered variety.
Boosters Score.
Des Moines scored four runs, but
not one of them were earned tallies.
Krrors figured in each and every run
the Boosters chalked up sgainst
Speece. They scored two in the
fourth when Frank Wetzel let Mur
phy's hit to left field roll through
hia legs and get lost in the tall grass
along the fence. In the seventh the
visitors counted two more when
Catcher George Hale overthrew third
base.
The Buffaloes managed to hit at
opportune times nnd take advantage
of every little Booster misplay. The
herd ran bases betier yesterday than
:hey have for some time. I.lttle
Johnny Kerr reeled off a couple of
Stolen bases and O’Connor and Wil
cox worked a double steal in" the
fifth that resulted In the former scor
ing what proved to be the winning
tun.
House started for the team from
across the creek, but what the Buf
. faloes didn’t do to him Isn’t worth
1 telling. When It comes to House
* wreckers, those Buffaloes ain’t any
thing else but. House was on the
mound for one nnd two-thirds In
nings, during which time the herd
bounced on him for four runs and
five hits, one of the hits being a
triple by Speece and one a double
by Kerr.
O’Connor Steals Home.
Following House, came Davis. The
House of Davis puzzled the Buffa
loes until the fifth Inning, when
j O’Connor walked after two hands
were down. Wilcox singled to right
and O'Connor went around to third.
j With a man on third and first and
I two out, the logical thing to try was
' a double steal, and that is what hap
I pened. Wilcox started for second
and Catcher Wheat, In throwing to
Klugman, hit Davis, but O’Connor
was already across the rubber with
the winning run.
The Buffaloes added three more
runs to their sheet in the eighth
when Wilcox singled. An error on
the part of Wheat put Wilcox on
second and Konetchy's double to left
scored the Buffalo third sacker. Wet
zel got his third double id two days
and scored Konetchy. Hale skied out
to Murphy in centerfield and Wetzel
trotted down to third, scoring a min
ute later when Jones made a wild
pitch.
The third game of the aorise is
scheduled for this afternoon.

Melody’s Latest Fistic Protese
It. ItK.MI’SKV, the gentleman
Ufrom .Munassa, who at present
is the proud possessor of the
world's championship in the art of
mauling, had better hie himself In
the well Itunwn tall timber. He is in
imminent danger of losing his treas
ured laurels.
Mr. Monty Munn, a giant from
Sioux City, who tips ithe scales at a
measly 2!la pounds, has announced
Tiis intention of wresting the cham
pionship from the ex shipbuilder,
Munn, who possesses the Inoffen
sive Christian name of l-cwis, is
known by various names, but the one
by which he is most commonly
known is "Itig Munn.”
He is really a remarkable physirnl
specimen. He has signed a contract
with (iene Melody of Omaha hy
which the Nebraska promoter is to
groom him for his campaign to lift
the crown from Itcmpsey’s head, or
l>cmpaoy's head from the crown,
Munn isn't particular which.
Another unusual thing in connec
tion with the new’ heavyweight con
tender is the fact that he is a gradu
ate of the I nivrcsity of Nebraska,
where he was a star football player,
and the university boxing champion.
Upon graduation from the univer
sity Munn went to Sioux City, where
he wits Instrumental in organizing a
professional football team that played
many of the strongest pro teams of
the country and was not scored upon.
Mu tin's enormous size makes him
a marked man wherever he goes. Hut
his size is natural when it is learned
that his father weighed 787 imuiikIs,
his mother 210 and his brother 220.
The brother, Al, also was a stor fool

cessful stay at the Omaha meeting.
J. T. Gaines arrived from Aurora
yesterday with Brown Bill, which he
claimed out of a selling race here at
the last summer meeting. G. £5ep

Eight carloads of horses will be
