One Man Knocks in Three Scores,
Winning for Omaha 3 to 2.
DES MOOTS GOT ENOUGH HITS
Bat $mflkli Always Happened
last Before Tbey Rmm Scores
After Third leala Was
Over.
Omaha, a; Des Moines, I.
The doctor did an the doctor ordered.
Harry Welch waa the doctor who put
the flxln'a on the frame Wednesday after
noon when, with his new willow, he
knotted tn all the run scored by Omaha.
That bat which Mr. . Oyler picked out for
him In Louisville Is certainly a hummer,
and not only has put Welch at the top of
the battera of the Western league, but Is
also helping him win many gains for
Omaha.
The winning of the game was phenom
enal, as Welch Is urualiy net so stronK on
aouth paws. The bin jiolse. hnppened la
the sixth Inning, and how It was done
might as well be told now as later. Hand
era drew a pass and Fisher beat out a
bunt aa only Fisher can. King sacrificed
them along a notch and wlurn Schlpke hit
to short, Sanders was rialiM at the plate,
and Fisher moved on to third. Schlpke stole
second and then came Wetrh.
lllersdorfer ws little fearful of the big
fellow and evidently dectdci) to pasa him.
Welch, howeer, would not have It that
way, and waiting until ue came soaring by
that he Cfuld reach, he Swung hard and
the ball scooted pant Iwyer and Fisher
and Schlpke trotted home. In the fourth
Inning Schlpke had hit a double and Welch
also drove htm home with a single with
the first iun of the game.
Two new second basemen made their
first bow of the year in the Western
league yesterday. Clyde Williams, former
foot ball coach of the University of Iowa,
played seVond for Des Moines and NIK
Perrine, the ambidextrous one, who hus
been on several teams, reached Omaha
Just before the (tame and' hurried Into his
suit to neP win from Omaha's ancient
rivals. Roth took all ther fielding chances
which came" their'' way, but Perrine ex
celled. Williams with. .tho. -willow, as he
made two- singles while Williams could not
connect safely, j
lies Molars Gets Hits.
Although Oruahs ".wort, It must be said
that things did 'not break very well for
les Moines, or perhaps it was Sander'
masterful pitching. In the" pinches which
was the trouble. At any rate Des Moines
made more hits than Omana and less er
rors, playing a .perfect game in the field,
but the batters fell down In the pinches
before the mature Judgment and cunning
Hide wheel delivery of Wa Sanders. In
the sixth inning Des Moines made three
Chan hits without a score. With one out,
Dwyer singled and died "trying to steal
second. Jack Dal ton singled and went to
third on Nethoffs single. ' They tried to
work the double steal, but'Captaln Kranck
caught Gondlng's throw and returned tha
ball In plenty of time Vo catch Dal ton at
tha plate. ' '
Des Moines scored first, making two runs
tn the third inning on two bases on balls,
an error and a single. Shea walked and
Bleadorfer tried to bunt'. Sanders went
after the ball, slipped 'and' fell down and
then' threw "wild to' first 'from" E sitting
posture, putting Shea oir' third, i Colllgan
flew out to King and Bader struck out
and Mattlck walked three bad men dis
posed of but along came-Captain Dwyer
and with a hard drive over second scored
shea and Biersdorfer.
Banders was In several, pinches, but
wiggled out. In the eighth Mattlck had
walked and Qondfng threw wild, to catch
him at second and the big fellow went on
to third. Sanders took no chanoes with
Dwyer and gave, him a free ticket to first,
when Jack Pal ton hit. an easy one to
Franck and the chance to tie the score
was gone.
The same teams play this afternoon.
