IiEXVKR. Colo., Am. 20 Berger, who
was Invincible In an earlier game of the
series m anything but a mystery to the
Omaha batter here today. Errors on the
part of the locals helped. Olmstead started
In the box for lenver, but was taken out
when the first two men up lined out hits
on him. Keeley started for the parkers,
but was taken out In the first Inning for
the same reason. Lower, who replaced
him was not forced to work very hard.
Three hagRers by Kane and Fisher, were
the features of the game.
Omaha made four In the first on a com
bination of four hits, one a two bagger,
two bases on balls and an error. In the
fifth two more were added by a base on
balls and two singles. A single, two three
baggers and a two sucker, netted the puck
ers thrre In the sixth and the same num
ber was obtained In the eighth on an error,
sacrifice, a man hit by a pitched ball, a
single and a two bagger. The score:

sixth and eighth Bush hit In runs, scoring
iilmseir also in the eigntn, in wntcn inning
Gray walked four men and hit another.
A double play with the bases filled pulled
him out In the seventh. Wlllett was steady
throughout and was well supported. The
batting of Schaefer and Bush featured the
contest. Because of the trade of Rossman
for Tom Jones of St. Louis, Crawford went
to first base. Cobb wa put off the field
for disputing a decision at the plate In the
eighth Inning and Detroit finished the

Cub Potter was the favorite, with the
gallery when he went against Walter Hayes
In the seml-flnnls of the tennis middle
west championship Friday, but even with
that support the trained veteran was too
much for him. Hoyes won, 6-2, 6-2. 6-3.
People who have watched the Omaha
boy's progress as a tennis player have
hoped every year for several seasons that
he would reach top form and take the
highest honors. Every year he has shown
more speed and better Judgment and If he
continues to Improve until he reaches the
age and experience of the men he Is going
against he will take the cup some day,
say his friends.
In his match Friday Cub started out
playing a fast, aggressive game and It was
only through his ease In spreading himself
all over the court that "Oravy" was able
to keep the advantage all the time. Cub
was a little wild In crucial moments and
his brilliant smashes did not always get
through safely. Hayes Is playing In fine
form this year and he Is keeping safe all
the time. This afternoon he plays Ray
mond Branson of Mitchell, S. D., for the
championship of 1909.

Gardner In nail Form.
Raymond Branson beat Paul Gardner In
the other semi-final of the singles without
much difficulty. He played a steady, safe
game, letting Gardner defeat himself by
short drives Into the net and smashes out
of bounds. The score waa 6-1, 6-2, 6-1.
Branson Is playing a strong, well Judged
game that will make Hayes show his best
tennis this afternoon. The match will be
as well fought, probably, as the famous
one in the challenge round of last year,
when Charley Peters beat Hayes.
It was an evidence of the truest sports
manship that Paul Gardner made any ef
fort to play his match with Branson at all.
He was sick at noon and developed a
nervous headache by 3 o'clock that made
his playing badly off form. He knew that
he could not play well enough to make
his usual brilliant showing and that a man
with Branson's speed could beat him easily
with his heavy handicap, but he made no
complaint to the referee and refused to
default the match. He will play today In
the doubles with Hayes.
The hardest fought and best played
match of tennis doubles ever seen on the
Field club courts took place Friday morn
ing when Gravy Hayes and Faul Gardner
of Chicago pulled out a victory over Jack
Bailey and Charley Splece of Oklahoma,
by the very narrowest margin.
Hayes and Bailey were the veterans, one
on each side, and It was a match of tennis
brains from start to finish. Both of them
have been In the game so long that they
play more with their heads than with their
hands. On the other hand their partners
made up In speed and agility what they
lacked In experience. Splece plays all over
the court at once and Gardner has a bunch
of offensive plays that never fall to work
when he gets a chance to use them
Bailey and Splece took the first set
easily, 6-4. After the first two games
they had It all their own way and Gravy
was so surprised at the form that they
were showing; that he almost forgot to hit
the ball when It came his way. The sec
ond set waa harder fought, but the Okla
homa pair took that one, too, 7-0. The
third set was easy for the Chicago men
as they got six games straight. After that
a rest was taken. When they came back
both teams looked confident and fit to
beat the world. It took sixteen games to
decide the fourth set. Bailey and Splece
took the first one, lost the next two, and
then they sawed back and forth until
Hayes and Gardner finally pulled out 2-7.
The fifth set waa not nearly so exciting
and Hayes and Gardner kept their oppo
nents from getting more than two games.
The gallery was so completely taken by th
gallant fight and splendid tennis that the
Oklahoma men played that they were sorry
to sea even such favorites as Hayes and
Gardner win. The only thing they could
do was to wish that the southerners will
come again and have better luck next time.

that Gravy handed the spectators kept
them hushed for several seconds.
