JOE USES TWO PITCHERS Jackson and Bell Are Found for a Total of Thirteen Hits. (ERRORS HELP OMAHA TO WIN Visitors Pile Up Total of Seven , Boots, "Which Prove Costly. 'HALT, MAKES THREE-BAGGER Jackson Patwi Session, to Get ) Pitcher and Latter Puts Game ou Ice When His Hit Scores Tbree Bans. ' Pa's family of rangers landed on two St Josepu pitchers for a total of thir teen hits and took advantage of the jjoeies' errors and wou the first game of i the series without a struggle by a 13 to 4 'score. I Until the fifth Inning' it was nip and tuck, with the Rourkea In the lead and the Joetown braves crawling up. But in i the fourth Mark Hall did the unexpected land hammered out a three-bagger, with 'the bases full, and put the game on Ice. When the Rourkes came to bat in the fifth the score was 4 to 3 with the Rourkea on top, but the Josies Were threatening to overcome this small lead. (A single and an error, with two out. brought Scanlon to bat. Jackson thought he would use his head and passed Scan- lion and took a chance on Hall. Pitchers, las a rule, are "meat" when at bat, but iHall was not inclined to give up without a struggle, and after getting two strikes called on him picked a nice one and poked lit to the right center fence. Kaay After Fourth. After the fourth it was like taking 'candy from a baby and the Rourkea had no trouble keeping the lead and increas ing it. Jackson was jerked at the end of the fifth and Bell sent in to stem the tide. He did this fairly well until the (eighth, when he soared and the Omahogs (rung up four more tallies, i St Joseph put up a poor exhibition of the game and maaruerror after error, the most of which were costly.
