THE OMAHA BER ; WEDNESDAY , MAY 8 , 18SU Ii " "I WILLIS WAS BADLY RATTLED Ho and the Umplro Succeed In LosIng - Ing the Gnrno to Omaha. WILD THROWS AND RANK RULINGS Ono of tlio Pooroit Exhibition * of llnll Playing E cr Been on the Omaha Groiuiilfl Other SportH. l Den Mollies 12 , Unutlin a. Licked , nnd by a lot of old hollyhocks from DCS Molncs. That Is the size ot yesterday afternoon' * .game nt thu ball park. It was n burning shame , nnd the 000. spon- tutors sighed disgustedly ns the last'man went out and that old relic of the stone ngo , Dicky Pholan , cried oxultlngly , "I told you so. " The Omnlias pranced nround upon the tender green grass In preliminary practice Jlko n lot of young colts at play. They know 'they hod a snap , nnd they romped over the field in fiendish glee. The Prohibitionists were quiet nnd sub dued , yet there was n doilant and very wicked look In tholr o.yes. It was no bluff , cither , for they gave the white socks a most humiliating throshine. Think of Itl Dos Molnes 13 ; Omaha H. Wasn't that n cuckoo ! It was a bad day for ball players , however , especially Omaha players. They batted llko a lot of school girls nnd ran bases llko so many saddle rocks. Young Mr. Willis , too , was In nn entirely too kind a mood. His generosity , In fact , , amounted almost to prodigality. Why , ho gave nine men bases on balls , forcing two runs across the pinto , nndvns milder than ono of those steeds wo read about on Merle's boundless plains. In a word , ho was rattled. But the best of them get that way once in a while , nnd there's no kick coming. Usually ho Is a heady , clover little twiner , nnd will round to nil O. 1C. when his turn comes again. Nobody ilroamcd that Omaha could lese after her nmgnillcont work of the past ten days , and everybody looked to her to knock out nnothor victory big enough to eat hay. Bui lightning , you Know , doesn't always strike nix or seven times in the same place. So the audience , who have bccoiuo entirely too gay nnu llossy of late , didn't do any very Btaitllng amount of cheering. Even Dr. Huncholt failed to omit his customary war , whoop. There was no end of the ' beefing , " however , in the grand stand , and Utnuiro Kelley wa unmercifully roasted. Ho was fairly burned at thu stake , und oven threat ened to have a couple of tumultuous partisans in the grand. stand fired. But it isn't Half Kolloy's fault , The best umpire In the land couldn't have saved that game. The result was something lllto a just retri bution , for the audience made fun of the little boys from Des Molncs tbo moment they came on the grounds. But they got square with a vengeance , for the game was tholr's all the way through , and the laugh was on their side. Joe Strauss walked right up to the pinto in tbo first inning and banged Mr. Emmorko for a single without half trying. The President followed with a similar hit , but the French count was n little too kitten ish and in trying to make third on the stroke he was put out. The man xvith the silvery jaw was out for a picnic- , too , so tie just cracked out a single .likewise , sending Cleveland round to third. But that settled it. Wo didn't got u run. Andrews nnd Coonoy were both neatly thrown out at lirst. The Prohibitionists suffered a still worse fate , for they were extinguished in ono , two three order. A couple of marvelous balls , however , on the part of Cleveland , was the potent factor in this result. It was another cipher for the white socks in tbo second. Macullar making n grand ono- * * * hand catch of a hot high liner from Caun- yan's bat. i Right hero Willis opened his heart and , < ave old man Pholau his , base for nothing. - Then ho actually stole second , and , yo gods , third , too. ' It took the people's breath to sco a man run so in such nn advanced stage of senility. Unt this was just the beginning of Willis' ! charitable work. Straightway ho presented String Smith his base on four more wldo balls , then ho capped the climax wltti an Untamed pitch and Grandpapa Pholan reached the pluto on a wild throw by Naglo over third. Gracious t What a groan tbcro was at that. Smith mndo third on this same disastrous pitch , but was doubled up a moment later With Council. ' A hearty cheer went up nt this. 1 But it was nipped right in the midst of its cheerfulness. Hart sent a hot ono way out into left for two bags , und Traffley and Emmorke fol lowed with three suckers , nnd all three crossed the rubber , the latter on nnothor horribly wild pitch. Four runs I Murder ! That was awful I ' . Patton struck out itud Des'Moiacs took the field. field.But they didn't stay there long , for al though Willis got to first on a fumble by Maoullar , ho waa quickly doubled up with Strauss , and Cleveland retired from pitch to first. first.The Prohibitionists also drew a blank , nnd o did Onmh'a ugoln m the fourth. They couldn't hit u little bit , and a small boy on the bleachers advised them to "got a hovel. " ' For the lownns , Conn ell futlley banged the , wlnd , and it was blowing , you can bet , great guns all the afternoon , and may have had so m o th in K to do with Mr. Willis' rosy performance. Hope so , anyway. Hart made a two-Dagger , but Billy Trnf- floy struck out , and it didn't look much like ft run. But that wns where looks were do oolvlny. Pntton mndo llrst on an error by Walsh , then Willis guvo Maoullar niul uln man Plielau tholr base In succession , forcing Hart und Trailluy across the plate in spite of , themselves , , < This wns considered tbo quintescnco of rlchnckK , and the crowd yelled derisively , Willis looked as if he wished ho was tar , from the madding crowd. Two more runs. Again it was ono , two , three for thejwhlto oeks in the fifth , and atraln DCS Molncs came In nnd piled up four morn runs , It was too easy. They simply lined the ball out for a single , a double and n , triple , nnd Willis accomplished the rest with a brace of bases on balls , and n pair of lovely wild pitches. The Omahas Dually managed to break their run of bad luck in the seventh. An drews got his base on balls and wns driven homo on Cleveland's throe-bagger , the latter acorlng on Nagie's hit. Dos Molucs also maJo ono in this Inning , as she did also in the sixth. Tucn she quit. ' Omaha made ono more tally in the eighth , and that was thu last , go it was tbo old eng , one , two , three In the ninth. Then the people filed sadly out of tbo grounds.

C. A. gave a cordial greeting , at 3 o'clock yesterday after noon , to Mrs. Jcnncss Miller , of Now York , who appeared before them as an advocate of female dress reform. Mrs. Miller is a success us a speaker. She is decidedly hand some , after the Mrs. Cleveland typo of beauty , is the picture of good health , pos sesses n full , rich voice , nnd knows how to use it. If her appearance is duo to the ob servance of the reform policy in dross which she advocates , she has an irrefutable argu ment. Her address , yesterday afternoon , was upon the "Artistic in Dross. " She said that she expected to bo called n crank , as all advocates of reforms arc , and to DO com pelled to run the gantlet of public opinion , as does ovorg one who lias the temeritv to express the need of u reform. She desired to npir.Ut plainly , to call things by their right names , and went to the heart of her subject at once by showing the evils that arise from the present style of feminine wearing ap parel. "Women wear burdens on tholr backs , " said Mrs. Miller , " that rob them of health and that freedom of action that is necessary to successful physical develop ment. " She claims that a woman's dross should bo so made that her legs would be separately covcicd , to the abolition of under skirts and pettlconts. "And why not call a woman's legs by their right names 1" said the fair speaker. "Do you suppose that the Almighty Intended that only men should have Tegs ! " After expressing her disgust with over- prudish people , Mrs. Miller proceeded to describe - scribe the wearing apparel that she advo cates as a substitute lor the prosunt ultra fashionable , health-destroying style of foml nine wear. First , the bustle and ttio corset must go. The first is not artistic and the corset is positively cruelly hurtful. A woman wiio wears a corset , claimed the spoakcr , can not stand erect , can not sit properly , has no freedom of movement , and unfits herself for tho' high mission she is born to perform. She does away with petticoats , undcrwaists and drawers , and supplants them with first a union garment in one piece , and over that a second garment in one piece ending at the knee , which she calls a loelot. For Borne people a separate w.tlst is required. 'In this manner she escape ! ) all bunds nnd ligatures around the waist. The odvantages resulting from this st.vlo of apparel are the removal of all weight from the waist and shoulders , the proper covering of the limbs or legs , ns Mrs. Miller would nay and the great free dom of movement. Mrs. Miller exhibited anumberof different styles of dresses and explained the advant ages of having them adapted to the reform plan.
