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

The Pullman Car
DES Moisns.Ia. , May 20. [ Special Tola-
gram to Tun BKE.J Several months ago the
Pullman Car company obtained an injunction
from Judge Urower restraining Iowa county
treasurers from attempting to collect taxes
from them or any of their agents. A now
turn appeared in the case to-day , when Judge
Love , of the United States district court ,
refused to hold County Attorney Kyan , wno
had boon arrested for contempt in this mat
ter. The Illinois Central railway was as
sessed for taxation on the basis of $5,550 per
mile. The company went to Treasurer Kyan ,
at Port Dodge , and offered to pay taxes on
the basis of $5.500 per milo , claiming that
the extra 55U represented the Pullman taxes ,
for which they wore not liable. Mr. Ryan
refused to take their money , on the ground
that he hail no authority to discriminate or
divide the receipts , and said ho must hnvo it
nil or none. The company thereupon declared
that ho was trying to collect the Pullman tax
in violation of Brewer's injunction , and had
him arrested for contomnt. Judge Love.
in hearing the case , said that the transaction
was simply an affair between the county
treasurer and the Illinois Central , and that
the Pullman company could not bu draegcd
into it. Therefore ho ordered the treasurer
released.
