ROURKES Sm BY WINNING
Take First Game of the Season from
Des Moines.
HCKESINCr IUTS A HOME BUN
ftmaahen the Roll OTer the Frirr In
Third Imlar ahk Tava an I
Bases, Giving; Omaha a
Start.
With a terrific clout, which lifted the ball
over the right field fence, Ollle Pickering,
Ta Rourke's now left fielder, broke up the
first same of the Western league season
yesterday afternoon at Fa's new ground,
rtrkering' blngle netted three runs, and
eventually landed a victory for Omaha
from Pea Molnea, the arore being 4 to 4.
' For three Innings Omaha trailed In the
wake of the Iowa aggregation. A bit of
unsteadiness In the first Inning, when the
visitors solved Bert Keeley'a supposedly
deceitful shoots for three hits and on run,
put the local lads on the defensive. Though
they found Owen, who essayed to do the
twirling for Des Moines, with frequency,
they were unable to bunch hits safely for
even one run.
Pick Rises to the Oeeaaton.
Then came the third and Pickering's
chance. Gondlng, the first man up, was
an easy out, but Keeley stared the undoing
of Owen and paved the way for a victory
of his own game by singling to right.
Bchoonover followed by sending a slssllng
grounder to Kore at third. The guardian
of the far sack for the lads from the neigh
boring state wrestled the ball and then
heaved high and wide to Kahl at second.
Keeley easily beat the throw, both perch-
Ing safely. '
It was up to Pickering. Ollle faced the
little Des Moines pitcher, carrying a bat
that looked twice as large as the pitcher.
He never waited. Perhaps It would have
been good base ball for Pickering to take
one, but he didn't see It that way.
Owen stuck the first ball pitched just
where Pickering likes them waist high and
on the outside. Crash went the bat as it
connected with the ball. The. sphere raised
high in the air and sailed over the right
flel dfence with the wings of a bird and
the speed of a bullet. Keeley cantered
home, Schoonover ambled over behind -him
and Pickering Jogged acrops amid the
cheers of 8.000 enthusiastic fans.
Dea Molnea' Hally Faille.
The drive put Rourkes men In front.
They stayed there, despite futile efforts
of the visitors, who by dint of hard work
and a little help by Pa's boys, managed to
collect three runs additional before the
game was ended.
It wan an auspicious beginning for Pick
ering. He won a place in the hearts of the
rooters that will require a long time to
efface.
Miss Frances Nash, the Ak-Sar-Ben
queen, started the game, putting the first
ball she threw squarely over Iho plate.
The Ak-Sar-Ben king, Everett Bucking
ham, attempted to start the game a mo
ment before, but his was an awful effort,
compared to the perfect throw of hi
queen. And "Buck" Is a southpaw, too.
, Miss Nash bad the utmost composure as
she delivered an overhand bull, which w ent
straight down the groove. It was evi
dently a good omen for Keeley, too, be
cause be followed suit and pilt them over
o cleverly that he did not Issue a pa? a.
Perfect base ball weather made the
game exciting and fast. Heavy hitting by
both teams featured. Fifteen hits were
made. Pa's Colts getting seven. Through
out tho contest Omaha made' one error.
This did not come until the last of the
eighth Inning.
Considering the fact that It was the first
of the season and the men were not used
to the large crowd and the noise. It was
a good game. Few wild throws were made
and the fielding wm not bad.
Omaha bad a shade the better of condi
tion. The outfield was perfect and the In
field was fast. In the outfield, King ac
cepted three chances and Picketing got
away with two. Bchoonover came in for
three chances and had no trouble In
handling them. Gralium played a good
same at second and Kneaves was fast at
short.
At the bat Omaha was not as strong as
the Iea Moines aggregation, but the hits
were bunched and proved effective. Pick
ering waa the big nolBe of the game. With
two men on banes in the third Inn ng, he
lifted the ball over the right field fence
for a home run. In three times at bat he
secured two hits. In the sixth inning
'Pick" made a perfect running catch of
lawyer's high one.
Barnaul Nulls Four Colt's.
Bachant proved effective behind the bat
for the lies Moines team. Four men were
caught stealing and only one man was able
to snatch second, the lucky individual
being Pchlpke. Gondlng. for Omaha, could
not get his arm working until the slxt'i
Inning. Trior two men pilfered the second
sack.
Keeley pitched a pood game for the Colts,
but to tho men beh'nd him aro due the
credit for the small number of runs mad,
Willie he was In tho box. In the seven
Innings he wan un the mound ho struck
out four. Fentress was asv for lawyer's
youngsters and three rims were scored be
fore he retired the s!d In the eighth
Inning. Owens pitched a fairish sort of a
game.

ANTELOPES START WITH VICTORT
Orlsslles Defeated by Reore of Three
lo Two.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April 21.-(Speclal Telegram.)
Flve thousand Lincoln fans helped Presi
dent Don Penpain and, the Lincoln base
ball club usher In the Western league
season for 1911 with an exciting 3 to 2
victory over the hard hitting Grisxlles.
The crowd filled the bleachers and
swarmed over Into the field, making ground
rules necessary. Both teams playtd gilt
edged ball, batting hard for nine inning
of the game which might have been won
and lost a dosen times.
Jack Hendricks and his Bears lost In
the third Inning, when Lincoln drove Kin
sella, upon whom Hendricks had thrust
the task of opening the season, from the
box with three doubles and two singles,
driving three runs across the plate. Pp
until that time Klnsella had been work
ing beautifully and seemed Invincible. Kh
man, who succeeded him, wss very stingy
and allowed but t way singles during ths
remainder of the game.
The damage had already been done, for
Knnpp, who trimmed the Bear In the
initial contest last year, was In fine form,
and after the first three Innings had them
eating out of his hand. Denver scored
first In the third on a base on balls and
a wild heave to the right garden by Paul
Cobb. Denver scored In the eighth again
on a two-base swat by Lloyd, followed by
another double by Chris Lindsay.
Two men were out In the third when
Lincoln got to Klnsella. Cole opened with
a two-base swat to the fence. Gagnler
fol'owal with another two-base hit and
Cole rcorcd. Cobb hit for two bass and
Gagnler registered. MeCormlck lined a
single over second snd Cobb scored. Ung
laub rlngled. MrCo:mck taking third on
the play. An attempted delayed steal re -
suited In the third out.
There was nothlno rinlnir fA i.k
" icai"
during ths remainder of the game.

ROURKE PARK IS CUT OFF
FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD

far as the outside world Is concerned.
What the reason Is cannot exactly be
learned. The Western Union has wires Into
the park, but say there will be no service
until pending negotiations are completed.
Neither the Postal nor the "'.opsone er"v
panies have wires Into the park.
Norris O'Neill, president of ths Western
league, called upon W. W. I 'mated, Iocs'!
manager for the Western Union, and told
htm that his company could have free Ac
cess to all ths parks of the league.
Tickers are In place all over the city
desiring service from the park and news
papers wanted special service for the open
ing game, but none was furnished.
The Bee kept up Its bulletin board with
messenger boy and telephone service.
