AN
INTERESTING
EVENT
Was Nip and Tuok from the Very
Start to the Finish.
MEN ON BASES EVERY INNING
Both Team Snooeed in Getting;
Players on the Sacka, bnt Pitch
era Are Stlimr About Let
rtnir Themtlome.
Manager Charley Arbogast of the
Bourkes and Catcher Hickory Johnson
"ware banished from the grounds In yes
terday's game with Denver, In which
Omaha got tho long end of a 3 to 2 score.
The argument came up over a decision
rendered by Umpire Anderson in the first
Inning. Thomason was on third base by
reason ot an error and a hit With two
men down and Kane on first a doublo
steal was, started. Kane drew the ball
to French at second base and Thompson,
who bad a big lead off third, made a dasli
for the plate. -French threw high and
Thomason apparently was safe by a big
margin but Umpire Anderson called htm
out Manager Arbogast and Johnson
protested. Johnson made a few personal
remarks to the Umpa and he was ban
ished from the park. Arbogast continued
to argue with Anderson and finally gave
his a push in the breast protector. Ar
bogast was then ordered off the field.
Hotly Contested Game.
Aside from this mar the game was
highly interesting and hotly fought. Den
ver took the lead in the first and Omaha
deadlocked it In its half of the same in
ning. The Rourkes jumped into the lead
in the fifth with one run, but tho Griz
zlies evened it up in tile sixth. The
seventh inning brought Omaha another
tally which proved to bo the winning run.
A drizzling rain started out about the
fourth inning and continued until the end
of the game, but it failed to make the
playing any slower. In the first inning
Ttobinson made a sensational stop of
French's drive to the box. He recovered
the ball In time to get the runner at XlrL
Grnbb Loonu Up Well.
Harvey Orubb, the new third sacker.
played another brilliant game and tho
fans are beginning to soe a second Nel-i
hoff in the youngster. He made a won
derful catch of Cassldy's line drive in the
third. He got the boll about a foot from
the ground with his gloved hand.
Robinson also fielded a pretty game.
He took four chances and got away with
them clean. In the fourth; frame, with a
man on third, Spahr sent a popup a few
feet in the air Just inside the foul line.
Robinson thought! Shestak was going for
the ball, but when the latter mode no
move for it, Robby made a dive through
the air and scooped the ball a few Inches
from the, ground, shutting off a run.
Mnny 3Ien on Baaes.
Both Denver and Omaha got men on
bases In almost every inning, but in the
pinches both pitchers were stingy. Omaha
had eight men left on the bags and Den
ver eight.
George Shestak Pa's recruit catcher,
brought Into the game as catcher for the
first time this season, sure looked good
to the fans. He has a- wonderful arm
and caught three Denver men trying to
pilfer the keystone sack. At bat he is a
natural hitter. He managed to hit the
' ball every time yesterday, but only one
was a safe clout, the others managing
to land ine someone's hands,
"With one down In tho first.' Cassidy
singled to center, stole second and scored
on Channell's single to deep center.
Roarkri Evened Up.
The Rourkes evened up. Justice landed
safe on an Infield hit. Coyle sacrificed,
sanding Justice to second. Kane singled
to right, scoring Justlse.
The Ilourkcs went In the lead in the
fifth, when Coyle beat out a bunt and
went to second when Thomason was
walked. An error by French put Coyle on
third and Congalton scored htm with a
sacrifice fly to Gllmore.
Scored Attain.
In tho sixth Butcher landed safe when
he forced Channell at second. He pilfered
second, went to third on French's single
and scored on Spahr's sacrifice fly.
.Justice opened the seventh with a
double to the left field boards. Coyle
beat out a bunt, Tommle going to third.
Congalton's single over second scored Jus
tice and the winning run. Score:
