PAUL BROWN DOES HIS BEST And Thin In Souk- IturlltiK. for Itourkcs Mnke Only Our Score to TiToIvt- for the Sioux. SIOUX CITY. In., April 25.-Bpeclal Telegram ) steady pitching by Paul Brown and terrific slugging by the Sioux City batamen proved the undoing pf Omaha In the opening game oi the sea son here. The score was 12 tp 1. A wild pitch by Brown In the seventh let Con galton score and spoiled the 'local twlrl cr's chanco for a shutout. Rapp of Sioux City Jumped Into the high ' class" by smashing out twp home runsj, one' "off Fugato and the other off Beebe. Much of the battle was played In a sprinkling rain and the field was heavy;. An overflow crowd, however, braved the elements to see the opener. Preliminary ceremonies were dispensed with and with tho pitching of tho first ball by Mayor Smith and the presentation of a floral bat to Holmes the battle started. Tho hitting of Sioux City was uncanny. Safeties were registered in every inning, and despite desperate fighting by ths visitors they could not seem to shako tho spell of the Sioux slugfent. Johnson drew the first blood In the shape of Omaha's hits by rapping out a double In the third, but three outs in a row spoiled Its effect. The Omaha tally occurred In the seventh when Congalton's drive sifted through Tony Smith, a double by Kane advanced' htm to third .and he raced home cm a wild pitch. Schlpko singled in tl)e..8ame frame when two were gone,', but Becbe fouled out. The visitors were treated with a rally in the,, ninth when Neff was sent In to bat for Beebe, with Shestak safe on nn error and two down. N'eff, made good by smashing a double over the fence, but Justice filed out on an unlucky foul. Score: SIOUX CITY AB. It 1L O. A. E.

Man Hit With Ball Bat Given $4,375 SIOUX FALLS, 8. D., April 25. Spe cial.) Payment of damages amounting to 14.375, a Judgment granted a young man named Gus Slebke against the Mo Cook County Fair association, brings to an end a remarkable suit for personal damages. The judgment was granted In the United States court In Stoux Falls. Slebke, while attending the McCook county fair at Salem in 1910, was struck on the head by a base ball bat and seriously injured. He Instituted a suit by which ho sought to recover damages In the sum of $10,000 on the ground that proper protection to spectators in the grandstand had not been provided by the fair association because there was no wire screen In front of the seats. The case originally was tried In the circuit court of McCook county, where a Jury decided In favor of the defendant fair association. Afterward Slebke removed to Iowa, and later Instituted a damage cult In the federal court In this city, where he was granted the judgment which has Just been paid, ending tho case. resident Wilson Goes to the Game WASHINGTON, April 25,-When Presl dent Wilson learned today that the Washington team would not play at home again for another month, he cleared his engagements early so that he could attend today's game.
