THE OMAHA DAILY BEfl : TUESDAY. MAY 21 , 1889 : THE BATS WERE TOO SHORT , That la Why the Warriors Failed to Hit Proosaor. HE'GAVE EIGHT BASES ON BALLS. Omnhn's Hot AVcatlior Pitcher Signal ized Hlfl Dchnt by Giving n On mete to Slonx City SportltiR Notes. of the Cltiliq.

Oh my I oh inol oh my ] oh mo I Three straight , nnd Sioux City got every one of them. Who would linvo believed such n thing possible n wccl : ago ? And then , worse , nnd moro of it , yester day's game dumps tnu White Sox back to thinl place , with two more strong teams to tackle this week. Vorlly , Omaha's lot is far from a happy ono. ono.Hut she ought to liavo had yesterday's game , rocky na It wns , but young Mr. Procascr thought ho wns pitching against Borne eleemosynary Institution , nnd ho gave them everything they asked , mid moro too. And that was the gamut Klglit bases on halla , and ono base for hiUlni : a bailer , Is the way Proossnr signal- , ued hifl debut. " It is doubtful whether he will receive an encore. Of course ho tried hard enough , and the corn buskers found It exceedingly dlnicult to hit him. That was probably however , because - cause their bats weren't loug enough. But then you can't most ulivnyi * sometimes tolly to use a quotation from Gladstone. The only felicitous feature about the strutr- glo was tlio fact that tnore wcro only a few hundred of the most devoted fans on har.d to witness the cataclysm. , That last word was lasoood from n patent tiicd Iclnc advertisement , and it iiiu.it mean something nwful. Yes , there were but a few tlioro , but , oh dear , weren't they sorul Jit was' bad enough to see Omaha lose , but It was worse to sco liar lose through the wlldriess of her pitcher , after she had secured what should have been u winning load. So it can not bo wondered ut that the spec tators were soro. But' let's got right down to business nnd got rid of this dlstastoful task. .Neither side scored iu the initial innings , although the Huskcrs came within the shako of a lamb's tall of doing it. It only required four pitched balls to settle Omaha's hash. Strauss went out from Bunco to Powoll. Grover from Br.idloy to Powell and Coonoy on a high foul to Powell. So Powell for u few minutes was quite conspicuous , wasn't hoi Monkey Cline then came forward. Cline is n dandy , and It's worth the price of nd- inisslon to watch htm thro turn a game. Gap tain Brosnnn says there's nothing Cline can't do. Ho can , tlo himself in a running noose and spm-around on tlo ( plato like a whirlgig on liis chin. Ho can run around the bases in four seconds , Jump over the grand stand , and crawl faster than d horsy can trot. Ho can throw Muldoon or Tom Cannon In seventeen seconds by hit Waterbury watch , nnd make John L. Sullivan jump out of u fotir-stQry window with six-ounce gloves. ' -HdattrllftrT.J.OOO pounds , throw a strobt car over the now BUB building , aim stand on his head for twenty-four hours. BatMoaU can't do ono thing , and that is , muko'u ruii when ho most wants to. Just to try him , yesterday , Proossor pro ceeded to give him his base ou four bad tails. By elegant sprinting ho stele second , and went to third on a wild pitch. But there ho stuck , for Glenn , Powoh und Genius were retired in quick succession. Monk bent'his breast and tore his hair as lie went d.oggedly out into the fields. "Omaha.gathercd in a couple of runs in the second- and the crowd cheered tuniultuousl.v. It happened thusly : Crppks How out to Genius , but Mcssitt was Klveii a lifo by Webber's bad juggle. On Proosser's out from Burke to Powell , Scrappy Jack nipped second , uud on Walsh's corkiiu : single ho scored , Joe taking second On tbo throw in. Caiiavan went out and the Huskers took their turn. There was souio danger right hero that Brbaimu would fail to reach Jlrst ; so Mr. Proesser smashed him with the ball. Ho was forced out by Burko. Bradley took his busa on balls , and Crotty. got there on un error by Proesser. Things began to look delirious. The bases were full. A hit wonld do the business and Webber made it , way out to Messltt's territory. It was Just simply disgusting to see the In dians scuuipcrmg around the bases , BurUo crosses the piate , and so does Brad- Icy No. ho didn't , either. He makes a long fllvo for It and slide ; about twelve yards on Ills wishbone , and Cooney breaks his vertebra With the bail 1 Mcssitt had got It In by n magnificent throw , nnd they only made ono run after nil. .Nobody oarou for that , for the Monkey im mediately retired the side ou a high foul to Can a vim. "Good eye , Wnllyl" cried Crocks , as An drews took bin position at thu bat. Then before anybody could realize it. biff ! tho'big llrst baseman's stick had collided with the sphere und ho was on the second cushion before the ubiquitous Monkey could return the ball. " \YellI welll wolll" came those greasj old words from Crooks' ruby lips , as the up roar subsided. * But did you over notioo how n little hitting is catching. Well , it's so ; lot ono man motto a line drive , and sot the bleachers to howling , and the next man is liable to step up and do the BUU10. That's what the count did , only moro of it. No two-bagger for him ; so hp Just smashed out a home , and the small but solcct audience got richt up and yelled I No moro runs were made until ths seventh. ud Sioux City made throat This tied the game , und everybody was unhappy. Gouius and Brosnan took their bases on balls : and. Burke liuod out u thrao-bagcor. Tula must bo told iu few words. Tlio next thrco men , Bradley , Crotty anc Webber , wont out in order , Burke crosslnf the rubber ou Bradloy's long lly to Canavan Tlio White Sox drew a blank in the eighth , out tbo Corn Huskers iiiado a tally and tool the leadI , Attbr Burlco's-roUreinont Bradley reached first on another error by Proossor , wonttc ocr.udon Crotty's fcacriUco and tallied on W&bber's'hlt. The Monkey cnaod the iu Jjjllff * The Omahas came In for their last dasl : out. of the box , und by good , hard pluylut they tied the score. Crooks got his base on balls , stole second , and scored on Joe Walsh's second splondii baser , Mcssitt nnd Prooaser having DOOU ox tlnguished In tbo meantime. Walsh also stele second , but ho was loft , Jlmuilo Canavan going out ou u loug fly U Clino. Of course this put everybody In a go oil humor cigala , and tnoy hurrahed right nior tlly.- tlly.Littlo Little did that devoted crowd suspect wha < n rude shock their jubllatlou wad so soon tc rocoive.
