THE REE: OMAHA. FRIDAY, JUNE 11. Omaha Again Defeats Des Moines; Cubs Shut Out the Giants REELEY CURE FOR DES MOINES Omaha Repeat Yesterday Score oi Dy Before. GAME REALLY BRILLIANT AFFAIR Velther aide's I Bill Last Man WBa Ont for Visitors, tvha Will Mulch llolleaheck Against U( Today. Orr.iha. 3, Ies Moines, 2. Omihi walloped It ancient enemies from D Moines Thursday by the same score i the (lay before and attain put a crimp In the wise ones who thought Wednesday a sort of accident. Those printers who work for Mr. Higglns, the big Chicago printer who runs the Pes Moines team for amusement had to take their medicine and although they put up a game fight, could not bring home the bacon. t'mp. Haskell pronounced the two games as the best he has seen this year and most of the fans agree with him. It was a battle royal from the start to the finish and nMther side had won until the very last man was out In the ninth Inning, for !es Moines had a couple on bases when Collta-an hit a fly which Welch gobbled. The i o'clock closing law does not go Into effect until after July 1, so the Rourke family thought It advisable to administer the Keeley cure to Des Moines, the same s has been done to all teams as they :ame along. It had been reported that '..ang was to oppose Keeley, but that was changed and Lang was reserved for today nd Miller sent to the hill. Miller pitched a magnificent game and Ou'led out of several most uncomfortable loles. In one Inr.lng he had the bases full with one out. when he struck out Slugger Rill and Perrlne grounded to Kane. Miller truck out eight men and allowed but six hits. His wlldnees, however cost the win ning run. Heeler Uteady .Throughout. Kfeley wss steady from start to finish, ilihougi) two doubles and a triple were made off his delivery. The first Inning was one, two, three for Des Moines, but Otr.fiha started as though a million runs were to be made: Plsher beat out a bunt. He also did the- rame thing later In the game. Fisher then stole second and went to third on a passed ball. King walked and Fisher scored on Welch's single, Kane executed a neat sacrifice and King scored on Schlpke'a grounder to Dwyer. Des. Moines tied the score In the second Inning. With one out Kane dropped Franck's throw of Dalton's grounder and he went to second on N'lehoff's single. Wil liam scored them both by a two-base drive against the left field fence. The honors were even until the sixth when Omaha made the winning run. Cap. tain r rancK drew a pass and went to second on a passed hall. Gondlng sacrl flced him to third. Keeley struck out and Flhher gave him the chance to score by beating out a grounder to abort, which was handled without a bobble. Fisher heat out two of those Infield balls Wednesday and two yesterday. les Moines made several bids to tie the came, but did not aucceed, aa Keeley re fused to weaken. Today will be ladles day and the women probably will be treated to a battle be tween Hollenbeck and Lang. The score: ., . ... OMAHA. An. r.

' Perrlne is all over the field and his double play could only have been made by fast and heady work. Schlpke caught a short bunted popup and Perrlne was on first to complete the double. Kane's error was the only one of the three msde by Omaha which wai. costly. It started the trouble In the aecond Inning. Perrlne Juggled a fast grounder and Cap tain Francs, failed to hold a grounder right in his hands. Perrlne1 drive in the fifth inning would have scared three runs If Dwyer had not been playing deep for Just such a hit. If hu had been playing In a little closer the ball would have sailed over his head and three riuin would have scored. Des Moines started a ninth Inning rally which was short lived. Nlehoff had made two hits and the fans looked for him to do something, but he only hit to Keeley. Williams drew a pass and Kerner, who batted for Shea, reached first on Franck's error. Mertens was sent to bat for Miller and ha -looked big enough to knock the ball out' i.f the lot, but Instead he only hit to Keeley.
