Oraha Motm to Second
Plaoa in Rare.
Omaha, 9; Wichita, 1
Ornaho, 1; Wichita, 8.
Omaha baa moved from fourth to second
place.
Two f&nwii wr taken from the Hol
landers Sunday afternoon to the great it
light of a vast array of fana who filled
every available aeat In Pa'i grandstand
and bleachers, swarming over the field
made ground rules necessary. It was a
typical holiday crowd and how It did en
Joy the sport of seeing the Jayhawkers
humbled and cast from their proud por
tion near the top of the ladder.
Pa has been laying awake nights figuring
on Just how he would win those two games
and move Into second place. He began
to talk about It Inst Thursday and kept It
up until he believed It, then he got all
the players to thinking the same way and
where there Is such unity of purpose It
had to be done. I'a figured that If he
saved Lower and Keeley to do the pitching
Sunday the proud colors of Wichita would
be lowered. It lias come to pass.
lower' won the first game and Keeley
dittoed in the second. It was a great day
for Keeley for his hoodoo Is now broken
and he l once more In a position to win a
few ball games When Keeley came to
Omaha he won rU straight. He then kept
losing until he had blown six and now the
turn In the road has ' coma and Pa has
another winning pitcher on tils staff.
Lower had Jut one bad Inning all through
tho first game and errors by Fisher, Kane
and I'cndry. .were what made that bad
Lurlng the mixup from these three errors
and a.stntlle and a double Wichita scored
three runs which was all the Kansans
were able to get during the game,
Omaha started to score In the second
innln when Kane was passed. King
singlet' 8chlpke hit for two sacks and
Fianok for one which, with Clark's error,
ifave Omaha four runB. In the third, three
tingles, 'an error, wild pitch, and a passed
ball gave three more.
. second Game m Massacre
The second game wa simply a slaughter
of the innocents from the very start.
Plymton, the college lad who had shut
out Des Moines Saturday, was sent In to
do the work, and the first two balls
pitched to Fisher looked as though he
was going to be hard to catch. But with
Fisher then In the hole, Plymton hit him
in the slats with a pitched ball and that
was the beginning of the end of Mr.
Plymton. He was relieved In the fifth in
ning by Captain Hughes, who plays short.
Hughes had played short and then caught
the day before at Des Moines. It was
off the pitching 6f Mr. Hughes that Omaha
scored eight runs hr the sixth Inning and
two In the seventh.'
The downfall of Mr. Plymton started
when he hit Fisher in the first. Pendry
i j rove Fisher home with a double and
Welch walked. Kane hit a single and
Welch and Pendry scored, having advanced
a base on a passed ball. King beat out
u ijunt u..u .vane scored on Schlpke's
grounuii' .u iiie pitcher.
,ci. u.i ..e bull to the middle field
ffi.ee iii tne luui'th inning (or as pretty
u ii.iiL-.atiK nil as one would wish to
bee. And three were on bases when he
hit it. Keeiey, Fisher and Pendry had
euch singled when Welch came to bat.
The college lad was In a quandary. To
pass the doctor meant to force in a run.
He might better have issued the pass.
Welch caught the ball sciuarely, and If
the fence had ' not stopped the ball It
probably would have been rolling yet. As
it was the center fielder had to take time
In recovering from the chase after the
ball.
And then came. Captain Hughes. He
has curves, but he can't curve them where
the Kourke family cannot hit them, and
as a consequence " many batting averages
were fattened. '
Tudy will be ladles' day.
Score, first game;
OMAHA.

Kolas of tho Game.
Toward the and of the came Captain
Fraaia thought ha would lay off, so be
Into Second
put King on short and Holly In the middle
garden. Both missed every ball that came
their way after the change.
It was the banner crowd of the season.
Thousands of fana are rejoicing that
Keeley has come back to bis own.
Holland Is not framed up for so many
double-headers in suooession and his pitch
ers seem to need a rest.
Pa's new grandstand and the old stand
and the bleachers were all filled and about
LOU0 took a sun bsth on the lawn.
Brother Dave did a thrifty business In
red lemo. It was Just the kind of a day
for the fans to drink any old thing.
Danny Green tried to bite himself, so
mad did he get when Jack Haskell called
one of his pokes a foul. The ball scooted
down the first base line and would have
been a double, but the ump aald nay.

AMERICANS BLANK. WEST SIDES
Game Marked by Good Fielding; on
Part of Victorious Nine.
The Americans, although somewhat
crippled on account of Injuries, shut out
the West Sides Sunday at Florence by a
score of 4 to 0.
The Amerioans outplayed them in every
point of the game. The nearest the West
Sides came to scoring was in the ninth,
when F. Drummy led off with a double
and' his brother followed him with a sin
gle. Brodbeck struck out the next man,
Ixnny cut a man off at the plate and the
last batter hit to Brodbeck.
Brodbeck pitched his usual good game,
striking out seven, keeping the hits scat
tered and not walking one.
The fast fielding and hitting of the
Americans was noteworthy, Collins getting
the honors, accepting eight out of nine
hard chances at third, getting three hits
out of four times at bat and stealing four
bases. Next Sunday the Americans will
play the Townsends. Score:

WILL TRY TO CLINCH FIGHT
Effort to Fix Data for Jack Johnson
and Al Kanfman.
NEW YORK. July 1 An effort will be
made this week to clinch the match with
Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, and
Al Kaufman of California, set for either
September or October, and to determine
tha place of meeting. Johnson signed
snides early in June, but pressure hss
been brought to besr upon him to cancel
the match on the ground that It would
Interfere wtlh his fight with Ketehel.
The pugilistic atmosphere Is undergoing
constant changes with respect to the plsns
for the undoing of Jack Johnson. Until
his recant fight with Billy Papke there
was a strong hope among fight followers
that Stanley Ketehel might overcome the
negro, but that hope la now glimmering, as
Ketehel made tittle impression on rapse
Friends of Jim Jeffries say today that
notwithstanding the announcement of the
former champion preliminary to hie tne
atrtcal engagement, that he would fight
Johnson, the one-time bollermaker will
never re-enter the ring.
It Is stated by those close to Jeffries
that his condition would not allow him to
I go over a few fast rounds.
Diamond Dust
Cy Young Is still holding them down to
four hits, Boston.
Perrlng has been taking Lajole's place
with two hlta a day with some regularity.
Jack Pendry is developing inio a splendid
pinch hitter, which is a mighty good thing
for any young man to develop Into.
We ought to be going fast enough by
the time Lincoln gets to town to sweep

straights.
Holly took two of the four Topeka games
unto himself. The big blond is not only
pitching great ball these days, but Is
batting like a hero.
Detroit has a fight on Its hands from
now on, and It has no odds over the Ath
letics. It would he refreshing to see
Mack's men get another flag.
Chicago probably will be unable to res
cue the good ship from the Pirate crew
this time. At least the black flag may
be seen above all others Just now.
Tom McCarthy says those- three young
Infielders of Cincinnati Hoblltsel. Egan
and Downle are whirlwinds. He thinks
Clark Griffith is accomplishing great' re
sults with the Reds.
Topeka played as If It was In a trance
in Omaha, w hlch serves to suggest some
thing ot the miserable form Omaha must
have been In down at Topeka when It
lost two out of three games to the Cooley-
crows.
Pa Rourke Is getting back the interest
on that I1..VX) he paid for Jim Kane. He
has already tucked away the principal.
Jim Is steudlly progressing as a ftrxl base
man, and he Is a valuable man at the bat
in a pinch.
Kunkle. at third, showed ud worse In
Omaha than any of the Topekans. He
pulled off several bone-headed plays, chief
of which was this: The bases weie full
and there were two out, when someone
sent a slow, easy grounder to Kunkle,
who, instead ot quietly tagging the base
with his foot, began to wave his arms In
indecision as to whether he should throw
the ball to first or home. He woke up
Just In time to keep a run from scoring.
Well, thus far Fielder Jones and Johnny
Kllng are making good for the prophets
who predicted the fatal weakness of their
teams without them, If that Is any sat
isfaction. Bui the question Is, could the
Cubs have held first place with Kllng In
tne nne-up against such luck as they
have had this year? So far aa the Sox go,
they are nothing but a huge Joke, anyway.
What the Old Human needs to do Is to
let go of some coin.
The trick resorted to Saturday by Short
stop Downey of Topeka at first base was
about as coarse and Indefensible as could
be. Deliberately knocking the ball from
another man's hand is one of the high
crimes of the game, and if Kane had
soaked him in the Jaw instead ot the
neck he would not have been to blame.
Funny, some stupid fans, who evidently
didn't see what lAiwney did, Jeered Kane
when he put the ball on Downey with
some force.
Queer thing, the power of a base hit.
It will often chsnge a howling fan Into
a rantankcrous kinder. Saturday, when
three hits were mado off Hollenbeck In
one inning, a cliimp of shrieking boosters
over in the west stands were Instantly
turned Into rabid home-knockers. They
began to holler, 'Take him out," "Good
bye, Holly," and a lot of other rot that
invariably distinguishes the yellow fan
from the real one. But In another In
stance, when Holly had retired the side
without a run, leaving three Topekans on
bases, these same rooters as glibly
switched back from knockers to boosters.
These are the boys who think all the hit
ting, run-making, good fielding and win
ning must be done by the home team, and
all the poor work and losing by the vis
itors. SOUTH DAKOTA TENNIS F1AYERS

MXARTHY ONE OF OLD STM'
Fast Riffht Fielder of Browns and
Boston in Town Scouting.
ON TWO OF GREATEST TEAMS
Helped Famous Four-Tlane Winners
Cinch Title and Was One of
Frank Selee'a Champion
at Boston.
Tom McCarthy, one of the bright stars
In the base ball firmament of the later
'80s and the '90s, Is In Omaha, has been
for a week and will be for nearly threa
weeks to come, scouting for Cincinnati.
He occupies the same box at Vinton street
park each day over to the right of the
plate on a line with third base and scans
every player with the eye ot the trained
Judge and skill of tha veteran player.
The other day in one of the Topeka
games pick' Cooley, another old veteran
of tho big diamonds, was sitting In tha
box with McCarthy. Dick's team was not
going good.
"I'll have to get out there and play
that first bag myself, tomorrow," sa l
Cooley.
"Yes." quickly spoke up McCarthy, "get
out Dick, I want to look you over and sea
what you've, got."
"If I make threa hits will you recom
mend me?" asked Cooley.
Cooley and McCarthy were both in for
mer years members of Boston.
Goes to the Browne,
McCarthy ' was with the Oshkosh team
when that club was bought outrlgtit by
Omaha In IMS, but McCarthy did not coma
to Omaha with the others; he want to St.
Louis and Joined the old Brawns, tha
"Four-Time Winners," owned by "Der
Boss Manager," Chris Von Der Ah, and
led to victory In that old American as
sociation by Comlskey. McCarthy took
the place left vacant by Hugh Nlol In
right field, a plaoe Little Nick had en
deared to every St. Louis fan by his great
work. But Nlool let down tn his batting
and McCarthy, Ilka tha invincible Tlpi
O'Neil, and a few others, could bat. run
bases and field and ha at once became a
great favorite with tho team." ,'. '
The Browns had won three straight pen
nants and one world's championship when
McCarthy joined them and they won a
fourth the first year of his membership,
but were defeated by" the New York Na
tionals for the world'M championship.
At that time the line-up of the team
was: Comlskey, first; Robinson, second;
Latham, third; Gleason, short; O'Neil, left;
Harry Lyons, center, and McCarthy, right,
with Fouti and Caruthers doing the bulk
of the pitching and Bushong and Jack
Boyle the catching. Curt Welch had been
the brilliant star In center field and Nlool
in right, but both were sold at the end
of '87. Harry Lyons was later replaced
In center by Hugh Duffy, and with Duffy,
McCarthy, after four years on the Browns,
went to Boston and became a member of
Frank Selee's wonderful National league
champions. Boston had won the pennant
In 1891, the year -before McCarthy Joined
the team; It won It In '82 and '83, while
he was a member, and again In '87 and 'tw,
after he had left. Tom went from Boston
to Brooklyn for the season of 'K, and there
wound up his career.
Like all the old boys who were members
of that famous team at St. Louis, Tom
finds pleasure in recalling the days of
tha Browns.
Likes to Recall Old Team.
'We were doing a lot mure Inside play
ing than the rent of them, I guess," he
says, "and then we were fast on our feet.
There were only about two men on the
team who couldn't make 100 yards In bit
ter than 11 seconds, and some of us.
Latham, myself and O'Neil, could shave
10. Latham, of course, was the fastest."
But McCarthy thinks that aggregation
that Selee got together at Boston was
about as great as could be assembled on
a ball field, and when the roll is called
It is easy to see he la right. Listen:
Clarkson, Stlvetts and Kid Nichols for
pitchers; Kelly, Ganxel and Bennett, catch
ers; Harry Stovey, great first baseman of
the old Athletics; Joe Qulnn, Nash, Her
man Long, McCarthy, Duffy, Hamilton.
McCarthy was In Omaha when he heard
of Frank Selee's death last week, and he
was much grieved at the newa
Though much stouter and a little older
than in the halcyon days of youth, Tom
Is still active enough to get out on the
Vinton street diamond and "warm up"
with the boys.
