"Connie's" hard drive past ftrit banc sent Applegate and Justlco over the rubber with the two runs which put the Rourke.s In tho lend, which tho Indiana failed to overcome Although the weather wag chilly and the game somewhat loose, the fans wore sure Blven their money's worth of rcnl ball playing, sensational stops, circus catches and heavy hitting. Applegate, the little Itourkr twlrlrr, who wan chosen among the stuff of nine to hurl tho opener, lived up to tho reputa tion ho secured while training In tho' south. He was somewhat wild and was hit frequently, hut he kept tho hits so well scattered that tho Indians only be came dangerous a roll pic of times anil then gilt-edged support back of him saved the day. Tho credit for winning tho ganio could rightfully and honestly be given to icv- : era I of tho Omaha players. Eddie Justlco ' In the fifth Inning started a doubla ,ilny which checked a couple of runs. In tho seventh Inning Ao made two sensational stop, which certainly, prevented tho.

A lightning like double In the first Inning kept the Sioux from getting a big Jump on the homo team. A wonderful peg by Thomason In tho same Inning caught a runner at the bag. "With Cooney on third and Clarko on second Davidson singled over second. Tomlo got tho ball on the first bounce and whipped It straight Into Johnson's mitt in tlmo to catch Clarke sliding Into the rubber, Omaha did not make all the pretty plays, but Sioux Clty caino in for their share. In the fourth Inning, with Johnson on second base, Schlpke singled to deep left. Clarke made a pretty stop of tho ball and. recovered it In tlmo to speed It to Rapp, who caught It three feet off home plate. A neat double In the fifth also kept Omaha frqm getting more than . the three runs. With one down and Thom ason on second, Kane sent ono. to Smith, who fielded It clean and mado a breuk to touch Congalton, who was on first.
