Omuha and Sf. Joe uiot nt the local park
yesterday afternoon , and played the second
game of the present series in the presence of
1,500 delighted spectators.
And again Omaha won.
Thus , of the live games the two teams have
played , the Ouiahas have won them all but
ono , and that ono was a tlo on fourteen tu
nings.
Yesterday's victory was duo to two things ,
Clarice's masterly pitching and the Omaha's
terrific slugging.
They folmd Klopf'fl curves Just ns easy as
rolling off a log. Ho was rottenly supported ,
however , nnd yet that circumstance uldn't
affect the rosalt , for the Whlto Sox earned
ton of their llftccn runs by the neatest klnu
of hitting.
13ut what makes this triumph doubly
sweet Is the fact that Sioux City lost to Den
ver yesterday , and ngaln wo are la second
place.
And please don't forgot it , we're going to
otny there , or go up front.
Hut as to the game :
Mcssltt knocked n llttlo ono to Ardnor and
was thrown out at first. Qrovor got his
base on balls , but was forced out by Strauss ,
Who also died in an attempt to steal second.
Tbo St. Joe's opened up llcrcoly , and the
crowd said we're beat.
But that was all the crowd know about it.
Big Canrlght load off with n hit and stole
pecond. Curtis went out on a high foul to
Messltt. Ardnor was then given a life on
Strauss' muff , and Krlcg his on a wild throw
by Clarke. Cartright scored oa this play
and Fryo's hit forced Ardner nt third.
Sholltuisso then tlow out to Can a van , so an
Inning that threatened direful consequences
only resulted In ono llttlo run.
That was mifllclcnt , however , to set the
roasters in the grand stand to work.
In the second Mr. Crooks How out to
ICrlctr , but Cooney lined out a safe ono. Ho
was caught stealing second , however , nnd
Walsh's lly to Frye closed the Inning.
Campana started the visitors' half with a
rattling drive to right , nnd on a similar hit
( by Whitney , bo went to third. Whitney im-
i mediately tried to steal second , thinking that
IKaglo wouldn't dare throw to put him out ,
'but ' that's ' whore he made u mistake.
| Naglo did throw , and quick and accurate ,
.too , and Whitney went and But down , while
! Campann bugged third as It it hod boon bis
| best girl. Klopf How out to Canuvan , and
CaHwrlght toCrooks. ,
I That was right lively work , and the nudl-
enoc enjoyed it immensely ,
i Naglo bepan the third with a single to
i center , , but Canavan wont out on a grounder
i to Cartwright. Clurko took his base on
> balls , but both were left , Mcssltt and Graver
being quickly retired.
This made the spectators ildgot In their
oat , and all over the stand you could hear ,
"We're licked again. "
For St. Joe It was ono , two , thrco.
That was encouraging.
In the fourth the score was tied , aud the
audience smiled contentedly.
Again , for St. Joe , It was one , two , three.
That was more encouraging
in the next Inning Omaha wont to the
front , and thu snnlo of contentment wreath
ing the faces of the cranks grow broader
than ever.
C.iimviui took his base on four wide balls.
Clarke How out to Ardnor , but Scrappy Jack
made a bit and Canavan gallvantcd around
to third , uud scored on the ox-president's out
t first on n throw from Araner. Ardner
also threw Strauss out.
If you will observe , Ardner cut a decided
figure In St. Joe's work yesterday. Eight
put outs and four assist ) is a record to bo
proud of.
For Lord's aggregation , Whitney reached
first on Cooney's muff , but was quickly and
systematically done up with Klopf by Walsh ,
Crooks ana Messltt.
This evoked a gentle roar.
Cartrlght was thrown out by Clarko.
And again In the sixth , the Whlto Sox
B cored.
Crooks went to flrst on balls , stele second
by ploughing up several yards of turf with
his proboscis ; reached third on Coonoy's out ,
then crossed the plate on Nuglo's second hit ,
t after Walsh had bean retired at 11 rat. Cuna-
van wont out from pitch to catch.
The score now stood S to 1 , uuu the people
felt better.
St. Joe's half was marked by an extraordi
narily brilliant play on the part of Captain
Crooks and Joe Walsh.
Curtis made n hit. Ardnor wont out from
Crooks to Mnssltt , then Krieg made a little
curving lly to short inllelcd , which Crooks by
n spend 111 run scooped up Just as it was ubout
to light on teira flrinn yes , terra llrinn ,
thaVs the word and with u doublo-Jointed
back action Iling , slammed it to Walsh , who
had covorcit second , and Curtis nnd the side
was out.
That was pretty fielding and no mistake.
The next liming , the sanguinary seventh ,
proved St. Joo's Chicamauga and Bridge of
Lodl combined.
For a few moments It looked as if there
vra a shower of leather , and thu big Mia-
iourlans could bo neon dashing frantically
about the Held llkuulluck of slteei ) lu'a
thunder storm.
Daddy Clarke Hrst stirred up the animals
wi'i a two-bugger to loft ; Mcssllt got to first
by Campaua's Juggle , but was forced out by
Cleveland's youthful punch to Whitney ,
Clark , however , making third on it. Strauss
came In at this Juncture nnd smashed out u
double , and Muddy cumo homo with his
earned run and Grovcr went to third.
Tim excitement all this time was some
thing fearful , nut In a moment It changed to
the wildest enthusiasm.
Crooks followed with n slashing single ,
Coonoy with his second two bagger , and
Wulsh , Naglo and Canuvan with singles In
such quick succession thut It made Mr ,
Klopf's head swim.
On this broadside Cleveland , Strauss ,
Crooks , Cooney , Walsh and Naglo scored.
This was tremendous , and some of the
crowd did so much yelling thut they'll bo
fluclclop chlorate of potash for u month uf Sun
days.
Clarke again camotojtlio ; bat , and again ho
reached tlrtt , this time , though , on Fryo's
uiuff of nls short lly , Cuunvuu scoring ou the
throw In. Messitt's second out retired the
etdo , anu seven runs was all that Omaha
Bunarod to get out of tlie wreck.
Thus Omaha had ten runs , and St. Joe but
one , and everybody was wild with Joy.
For the Jou'n , ShullhuKbo was , thrown out
by Crooks , but Fryo got hi uaso on un ox-
cusublo error by Walsh. Then Compann
made n lilt , only to bo caught napping a mo
I5 V ment lutor by u quick throw of cagle-oved
Tommy Nuglu. Whitney was scut to tint on
balls , but Klopf'a out to WuUh ended the In-
ulng.
In the ninth Omaha piled up llvo inora
runs. Coocoy cracked out a homer for u be
ginning. Walsh followed with his third ilti-
Kle. and , Nagtq got Ills basu on an error by
, KrlegT In voncuit the base runners stole an
additional batf , und then after Canuvun had
been called uut on strikes , they run borne on
Daddy Clariio'A four aacker.
Did the people howl I
Well , you ought to have bea/d'them ,
Alcsslll vvaa the secouU out , aud tUsn
Grover knocked out homo , run , and every
body was tired and Strnilss considerately re
tired the sldo.
St. Joe got her closing tally In the closing
half , but it Is not worth the tolling how , It
It was n dozen or sn It would bo different. A
small boy told Klopf after the game that the
man who told him ho could pitch was his
worst enemy ,
Hero is the score I

Itcilucing the Ball Park.
The base ball park , which is already too
small to accommodate the carriage attend
ance , is to be still further reduced in sbc.
Mr. C. S. Pnrrotto , who owns n strip on the
northwest corner of the parksoventv-livo {
fret wldo by 111 foot In length , has decided
to commence work at once upou the creation
of two $2,500 residences upon his property.
This very materially reduces the outfield of
the park , und will make it necessary for the
association to either sock larger grounds or
keep carriages out of the park altogether.
Will llo Do It ?
There are prospects for a largo crowd at
the Council Bluffs raoes next Saturday after
noon , ou which occasion the main attraction
will bo the attempt by Nat Brown's great
pacer , U Bet , to beat his record for a purs'o
of f500. The Handsome horse is In excellent
condition , and his driver , Tobo Broderlck , U
of the opinion that bo can knock a second or
two out of his already wonderful record.
There will bo a largo attendance from Omaha
to witness the event.

Crowd I nc on the Koscrvatlon ,
NioiuiAitA , Neb. , Mayli3 , 1 Special to THE
BEK.I Notwithstanding the warning of
Secretary of the Interior Noble that nil set
tlers on the Sioux reservation will bo ordered
off , the crossing over the Nlobrara river at
this point over the government bridge is
continued dally by now comers. The tail-
end of the Oklahoma boomers are dully ar
riving , und their experience at that opening
has been such as to lead them into trouble
hero. They think that the government was
very quick to keep them out of that country ,
but very slow to keep out the speculators
who wore in with the government ofllolals.
Thus it is that they fool that "tho early bird
catches the worm , " and arc willing to risk
much. They are advised by the better ele
ment hereto take no such chances , and while
some hoeu the good advice , there are others
whoso headstrong movements will doubtless
lead them Into trouDlo. The Indians on this
portion of the reservation would give them
HO trouble , but the government , as a matter
of policy , may. The excellent crossing here ,
with good roads to Niobrarn , both from the
south and north , and n steam ferry ulying
botwceh the two shores on the Missouri
river , furnishes very easy access to the
Sioux reservation boomers ,
