TABLES THEN ON OMAHA AT LAST
For Eight Innings HnirVn Held
Game Wbtr Thef Needed It
Tkm too Did Real In
dlaa Trick.
Omaha, 6; Sioux City. .
With the game practically ltM away
tha Rourkes let the Holmes come up from
behind In the eighth Inning and cart away
the game, to the (treat discomfort of a
large array rf nnrne talent. Omaha haa
been winning on those tall-end finishes, but
the tablea turned yesterday and tha fko
won out by hard scrapping.
Stanley Robson, owner of the St. Louis
National, was in the stand, looking over
the prospects of grabbing eome material
with which to strengthen his team and
he could not have been Impreaaed very
strongly with the game that waa played.
But three men hit at all for Omaha.
Fisher, Schlpke nnrt Oundlng registering
twice and the rest falling to make good
when a little puke would have won the
game.
Hollenbeck was not In very good form,
ulthough he gut away with his work until
the eiKhth lulling nhrn four singles and
two stoWn buns scored three runs. He had
kept the hltH scattered one to an Inning
up to that time, but a batting tally by
the tall end of the baiting Hat did the
business.
Alderman of Tekamah. who pitched a
Kod giine Sumlay and lost, waa aent to
tho hill out of lita turn to try to stem
the string of defeats which Omaha ha
been administering to the Sioux and al
though it looked bad most of the way
through he la credited with a win. He held
Omahi to tlx hltH and passed two, ( al
though he also hit two.
With two atrlkea and three balls on
Smith In the flrat Inning and with two out
Duke Hollenbeck aailed a pretty one right
over the middle of the pan and the former
Washington ahortatop caught It wquarely
nnd aailed tha ball, over the left field
fence.
Omaha (tart Out.
Omaha waa blanked untU tha third, when
Onnding opened up with a single and died
on second, when Holly tried to sacrifice.
Fisher, with his face In a sling from the
hard crack he had received Biinday, picked
out one to hia liking and followed the lead
of Smith by also hitting for a homer over
the left field fence, scoring two.
A combination of flukes scored three
moie for Omaha In the alxth. Schlpke
opened with a single, waa sacrificed to
second by Welch and after Perrine had
been hit In the neck by a pitched ball, both
succeeded in stealing. Kane atruck out
and Schlpke. scored w hen Welch Juggled
Franck' grounder. Perrine and Franck
pulled off a double steal and Smith threw
thf ball away In trying to throw home.
Towne waa alow fielding the ball and
Franck came home also.
Sioux City picked up two more runa In
tha seventh inning, w;he n with two out
Hollenbeck passed Andreas and Smith and
Kdmonson hi- a long fly to deep middle
right. He tried to stretch a double into H
triple and wat nailed at third.
In the eighth with one out Stovall hit
a hard jiib toward Kane, which : took a
lau bound and got by him for a, single.
Hunter followed with a single through
Hollenbeck and Towns scored Stovall with
a single to left. Alderman died Hollen
beck to Kane and Campbell hit a single
into Klrg's garden, scoring Hunter and
Towne.
Bat Omaha Came Bark.
Omaha had a good chance to tie the
score In the eighth, when Schlpke opened
the Ini.ing wtth safe poke. He was sac
rificed to cecond by Welch and Perrine
atruck out. Schlpke went to third on a
wild pitch and Kane waa next up. The
hope of the fans waa placed In hia hitting
the call, but a mlahap spoiled all hope.
A ball pitched wild and back an him hit
the small end of hia bat and went Into fair
territory. Kane waa a little alow getting
started and the ball beat him to flrat.
Today will ba Sioux Clty'a last, appear
and for eome time and Omaha will leave
tomorrow on lta western trip, although a
run back to Omaha will be made from
Lincoln Sunday for a transferred ' game
with Lincoln.

Nots of the Game.
The Omaha players ran - bases like de
mons and showed Mr. Towne up in fine
shape. Eight bases were stolen.
It does not seem to bntner Fisher much
to have his jaw cut to the bone, and lie
runs and hits Just as well aa ever.
The only fielding error made bv Omaha
was in the lat Inning, when Slugger Bill
threw high to first, but no harm was
done.
Both of Sioux City's errors were made
In the sixth inning and they were respon
sible for the runa which were made In that
Inning.
Haskell called Stdvall out In the sixth
Inning when hit by batted ball. Ducky
Holmes, who Is not playing but who
warms the bench in hia uniform, protested
so loudly that he waa fined and ordered
from the grounda.

ROBISON LIKES DR. WELCH
St. Louis Magnate Sayi Big Fellow i
Major League Timber.
COMES TO LOOK AT PA'8 B0T8
Jahllanl Over Rrrananan and Con
tent to Let Roarr Take Hla
Time Worklnsc Get a Win
ning: Team.
"Welch looks like major league material
to me."
Such was the comment of Stanley Rob
inson, owner of the St. Louis National
league bane ball team, as he discussed the
Omaua right fielder at the Smoke House.
"I saw Welch play last sesson and was
much Impressed by his work. I am here
looking over the Omaha team In order to
see If l'a Itoul ko haa any men that I might
be able to secure for my Cardinals. I don't
know much about the other men on the
team and can not say anything regarding
their ability as players."
Mr. Robinson artlved In the city from St.
Louis. He Is making a trip north in order
to ,et a line on the best player In the
minor leagues with a view to purchasing
some for' his Mound City team, which is
now resting in sixth place, being above
both Brooklyn and Boston. ,
The St. Louis club owner freely discussed
his team, its players and Its prospects in
the pennant race. Roger Bresnahan, the
$r.00fl beauty he secured from New YorK
to do the backstopplng and managing of
the Cardinals, he declared to be the best
player in the United States.
"The price that I paid for Roger ought
to be enough evidence to show how much
I think of him as a ball player. If he had
not seemed to be one of the most valuable
ball players In the big league I would
never have given $,".0,000 for him. You bet
he Ih a dandy. All the St. Louis fans think
so, too. Everyone has faith tn Roger, and
we all believe he will give us a winning
team in a year or two.
"This year, you must remember. Roger
has had a difficult task before him. He
has had to work with a team that finished
In the last hole in the three last seasons,
end it has been hard work for him to get
the team well organized.
"When Bresnahan was traded, I lost four
players, three of whom were pitchers. That
trade consequently weakened my twirling
staff and I have not been able to get any
good 'men for the box since I lost those
three. The three pitchers I have now are
Bribe, a right-hander; Lush and Sallee,
two southpaws. These fellowa have done
good work, but they can not keep the team
In a winning path.
Looking; for Pitchers.
"I have been looking for pitchers all
spring, but the other teams In the league
will not let me have any. Pittsburg, New
York and Philadelphia each has from ten
to twelve twirlers, but they will not let
any of them go to me. I am willing toj
pay a good price for pitchers, but can not
get them.
"There are other players besides pitchers
that I can use, though. I would buy a
good fielder and a good second baseman
right now If I could find the right men
and their owners would let them go. Byrne
is playing fast ball for the Cardinals at
third. Hulswltt Is all right at short, Koney
is a joy at first, but Charles is not any
too fast at second. I 'could use a man at
this sack." . ' ,"' . " '
"I do not expect he Cardinals to jet
Into first division trns season; I shall be
satisfied to watch them hold their present,
position. What I want Is to let Roger
Bresnahan take his time to giving St.
Louis a winning team, lie may not be able
to do it next year, but he will succeed
sooner or later. He Is the best man I could
have secured to manage the Cardinals. I
am highly pleased with his work.' The fans
like him. too. The attendance at our home
games has been doubled this season, which
fact ougbf to be testimonial enough to the
confidence the fans have In Roger."
Mr. Robinson said he did hot expect to
buy any players from Omaha or any other
team .now. He explained that he was only
looking them over. He declared he was
ready to take good men now, though. If
their owners would let them go. He did not
thing Pa RouVke, or any other club owner,
would allow any stars to be separated
from his team this time of the year.

minute. The( course led him almost en
tirely ground the parkway before the grand
stand was reached. (
Here, near the finish of his record
breaking lap. a, crowd of official' began
timing him for the second lap. .This he
made In 24 minutes. This mark was dupli
cated later by Miller, driving a Stoddard
Daytory Strang did not know of his twenty-one
. minute record until he finished at
Main street. Here It was discovered that
two Crown Point enthusiasts, Independ
ently of each other had each clocked the
first lap at tw enty-one minutes. It was
a hard ride, according to Strang, which
statement was very earnestly confirmed
by his reporter-machinist.
The springs of the machine were flat at
a dosen rough places on the Cednr Lake-
Lowell leg. Strang took some of the
down grade at eighty miles and any Ir
regularity In the roadbed was sufficient
to send the car Into tho air more like an
aeroplane than an automobile. On this leg.
In fact, and on the south leg immediately
after leaving Lowell the humps were found
more numerous and severe than on the
much criticised dirt stretch of the west lee.
The Improvement In the latter was due to
strenuous work with steam rollers. This
work was resumed Immediately after prac
tice was concluded.
Denlson, going At a terrific clip In t
Knox car, struck a dog, which ran across
the course, breaking the pipe leading from
the gasoline tank and spoiling what would
have been a very fast lap. . Previously
howevef, Denlson 'made the round In 2i:U
The two Apperson "Jack rablts" driven
by Lytle and Seymour were out for the
first time and Lytle, despite Ignorance of
the course, scored a lap in twenty-five
minutes flat. Phil Wells alo piloted the
Moon entry on its Initial round but con
tented himself with a leisurely Inspection
of the road. L. A. Heame, the amateur
who ha entered his own car. a Flat, will
reappear on the course tomorrow, as will
drelner, another amateur, with a Renault.
