THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , APRIL 21 , 1392-TWENTY PAGES. OMAHA WON IN THE FIRST Irankio Pears Given a Very Cordial Wel come to Sportsman's Park , TOLEDOS PLAY NICELY , BUT CAN'T ' WIN Milwaukee , Knium C'lly ninl St. Pniil Also \\ln-Ohlcnco Hoodlums llont Under r 1'onr HnnMn ( l\mcs : Other Sporting Notts. T WAS the first g n m o between - . _ r'-iy- ' Omaha und the J tLS ' ' Black Pirates of Toledo , anil It was n puddln'stuffed with raisins , Just , why the To- lodes have been dubbed the Black Pirates is ono of tboso things no fellow can find out. It Is certainly not on account of their uniforms , which nro very much Gcortro Strlof , only n ll'.tlo moro so ; nor their demeanor either , if wo uro to judge from yesterday's sample , for it was as mild ns dishwater , nnd they wont through the game In n perfunctory sort of n way which said as plain as words that they didn't oven hope to win. , , , Although the day was bright and sunshiny the crowd wasn't anything hko what It should have been , considering It was Saturday and the third championship game of the season. Maybe It was because the weather was so bad all week that the people could not make up their minds that a pleasant day was pos sible. Thcto couldn't have boon over 1,500 people there , hut wait until thl afternoon nnd if the weather continues fair Sports men's park will bo tested to its capacity. Vlcltory Ilil the I'ltchlng. Yesterday afternoon the management set 'om up twice , first to a delightful open nlr concert by the Musical Union oand , nnd in the second lo a clean nnd Immaculately played ball gnmo. To bo sure there was n couple of blunders made , but ns nothing evil resulted , what's tbo use of complaining. Sir Thomas Gilbert Vickory was In the .box for the Rustlers , and although suffering Irom nn excruciating cold ho hold those truculent marauders of the high seas down to three hits. That wasn't bad for n sick man , was it ? Hereafter , on the night bofoto Vickcry Is to pitch , Manager Rowe should hang him out on tbo clothesline In some cool place behind tbo house nnd lot him catch cold. To offset Vick , Manager Nicholson had Pears In the points , but ho might just ns well nave had poaches , or any other vegetable It would hnvo boon ono and the same thing , wo had to have the game. However , ho did admirably consldorln' the tact that the frlcld weather has roturdod his prowth and kept him from ripening. Seven singles was the sura total of the hits off of him. him.As to the other players It would bo su pererogatory to partlculari/o , as nil did splendidly. Gllks made n catch that brought down the house , and Kino ICol a muff that raised it light up again. Dave Rowe was a , bushel basket nt llrst , Shlobeck whirled bis , tree with eclat , and Hayes caught out of siijht. Ono of the most refresh ing features of the occa- iBlon , It might bo not amiss to notpi was the excellent umpiringof Charlie Suy- dcr. Ho Is a handsome follow , drc'iscs for an np- pearanco before ladles und gentleman , nnd , by the way , in his day , was , the greatest catcher who aver stood behind the plate. Why I how ho \iSod to lum 'orn down to second the ball would leave a streak behind It like a now cotton clothes lino. DAVE 11CHVC AT lino.But But the gomu. 1'IUST. Won It In the Flrit. It only rrqulro a single Innmjc to win It. Shy stopped Jauntily up and wih little ceremony led off with a pretty single to loft. Tnen Mr. Pears placed ono hi Robert Gilks1 side ; ICelloy scratched ono over Campion's head , Collopy pasted her safe , nnd Unelo Drvld likewisennd before the voroclous Pirutos could appreciate the seismic disturb ance four largo and flagrant tallies had gal lopoa over the plate. Then some smart people said the Parson's Pears were rotten , but ho showed them u few tricks later on. It was one , two , three , out goes he for the Parson's crowd , and In the second the Rus tlers drew n blank themselves , the Tolodos having some moro of the some In their half. Gilks opened uo the third with a nlco smash , nnd ran all the way homo on Nichol son's mult of Kolly's high fly. Uowe , Camp nnd Hovos were speedily retired. The Tolodos then came In nnd by a spasm of energetic play sooarod the only two runs tboy made in the game. It happened thusly. How They Got 'Km , After a bard run Kelly dropped Campion's Joug lly nnd Thomas Vickory Inadvertently Jtnoto Pears , and on Joromlah Hurley's sac rifice they both advanced nlnef feet. Ar mour hit a hot one down to Fitz. und the ox- Brewer was nipped nt the plate , but Pears pot round to third on the put out. Then Major Armour stele second , and after Got- tlngar had Torched first on balls , Nlchol hit sato and the two first runners scored. Ely ended the agony. Shy slamming him out nt first. After this there was an unbroken row of gooio eggs for both sides , and In just exactly ono hour and thirty minutes the last Pirate Was killed , nnd the buttlo was o'er.

Bruce was of the oplntor that a com- mittco should bo appointed to prepare n con stitution and by-laws , with instructions to report at Tuesday night's mseling , when plans for the organization will bo discussed for final approval of the establishment of the bureau. The committee , composed of Messrs. Fowler and Knox , was appointed. In spcaKing of securing subscriptions from business men for the maintenance of tbo or ganization , Mr. WaUeliold thought that the subscriptions should at least amount to $10- 000 a year for a period of thrco years. The constitution committee was then instructed to prepare a stibspription paper with Its report. Mr. Wcllcr said that the commercial asso ciation was going in'to the organization simply for the benefit of Omaha In genm-al , as the merchants had , at present , no griev ance to speak of. About the only complaint heard was the 5-cont briilgo toll , but ho un derstood that efforts were being made to abolish thct. The association believed in the proposed organization of the bureau because it would bo a great benefit to the prosperity and welfare of the city. A. U. Jaquitb understood that the bureau's ' purpose was not to hold u club over the heads of railroads , but as a body or organi zation representing tbo iutoicsts of both Omaha and South Omuhn , would tmvu much power in nettling grievances nnu making class rates without antagonizing tbo roads. W. N. Babcoclc of the stock" yarda and John S. ICiiox of the Cudahy uacklnc house wora both of the same opinion in dlscussifig the man nor of securing rates.
