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.

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.

NEW YORK, April 25 New York and
Philadelphia played an elcven-lnntnr t'o
hern today, neither aide scoring. Uoth
Demaree and Alexander pitched great
ball, McQrnw'B recruit doing the clearer
work and holding the visitors to three
hits. An unusual deprived New York
of victory in the tenth Inning, when the
Giants apparently won.
Merkle opened with a single and Her
cog bunted, Merkle beating Alexander's:
throw to seconds Wilson then bunted
safctly, and with the bases full and nono
out, McCormlck was sent In to but for
Demaree. He hit the first ball pitched
for an apparent single, which scored
Merkle.
Playem of both teams ran toward the
clubhouse and the crowd swarmed on the
field. Manager Doolln. Cnptoin Doolan
and other Philadelphia players, however,
rushed at Umpire Klein pointing out that
he was not In position when the ball was
hit. Klem had his face turned to the

agreed with Manager Doom that he was
not In position and called for tho game
to go on. Many of the players had
started to change their clothing and It
took more than a quarter of nn hour to
clear the field.
When play was resumed, McCormlck
