ROURKES BEATEN
AS BARHAM BLOWS
St. Joseph Batters Omaha
Pitcher for Twelve Safe
Ones.
WILD IN THK PINCHES
St. Joseph, . Mo.. April 29. (Spe
cial telegram.) Defying tlie weather
man, Omaha and St. Joe finally man
aged to play one game of their three
game series this afternoon, and the
drummers were returned winners over
the Rourkes S to 2.
It was not until 420 that the game
finally begat,, a drizzling rain and ex
tremely cold weather having made il
seem impossible that a contest could
be held.
Not until 15 minutes before thai
time did the Omaha players appear.
Smallest Crowd Ever.
The smallest crowd that ever at
tended a baseball game in St. Joseph
shivered through eight and one-half
innings of splendid baseball, less than
1.000 paid admissions being recorded
at the gate. This was due to the fact
the majority of people believed a
game impossible.
It was too cold for Babe Adams
,nid Marty OToole to make their ap
pearance as scheduled and instead
IJarham opposed Ed Hovlik and the
Umaha twirler finished second best
r; the little duel staged belween them.
I'oulik was in fine form, holding the
Wourkcs to five scattered hits while
the Drummers obtained an even dnz
e i safe singles and made life in the
Western not all to his liking.
Score in Fourth.
Xi't until the fourth inning did
either side score, then the Drummers
scored four runs. McCabe, the first
man up, singled to short field, Kirk
ham singled to center. Barham made
a poor throw to first on Moore's at
tempted sacrifice and McCabe scored
with Moore safe on first and Kirkham
on second. Kirkham was out trying
to steal third. Wright flew out to
Bradley. Smith then singled, filling
the bases and Henry was given free
ticket to first, scoring Moore on a
forced run. Hovlik singled, scoring
McClellan and Smith. Shav walked
again, filling the bases, but McCabe in
his second time at bat in the ,;anic in
ning, flew out on a long tly tu i iylit
field.
Two Over Plate.
The Rourkes brought two over iIk
plate in the sixth, when TliomnS'Ui
singled and Earl Smith hit a fielder's
choice, on which Shay slipped in the
mud. and both were safe. Bradley
hit for two bases, scoring Thompson
and sending Smith to third, from
where he scored on Irelan's sacrifice.
Bradley was 'out at the plate on a
fielder's choice and Brottem was safe
on the play. Erokaw flew out to
right field and the scoring for the
game for the Rourkes was ended.
'1 he Drummers pushed one more
across in the seventh. Kirkham
singled and Moore followed with one
in the same direction, short center
field. McClellan sacrificed, advancing
both men a base. Wright singled,
scoring Kirkham. Wright a"d Smith
were out on a pretty double plav,
Kruf to Bradley, and the run-getting
finished. Score:

Rourkes Rest for
Day Before Opening
At Home Tomorrow
The Rourkes return home lotlav
from their road trip around the south
ern loop o the circuit rrady to onn
the season at home with the Joplin
Miners Tuesday, Today is a day of
rest.
The invasion of K run's men into
the hostile camps was no howling suc
cess, hut it was not dUeouragiiiR. Had
weather prevailed a large nail of the
time which prevented the pitchers
from being elective. The hole in
right field was also a drawback.
With Bradley on tirst and Hrokaw
in right, it is believed the Omaha ma
chine will whip ilscU into a formid
able one. Bradley war- formerly with
the Boston Ked So ami the Federals
before going to Columbus from which
city Rourke procured him.
If the' tans turn out an expected
Omaha stands an excellent chance to
win t lie Capper cup again tomorrow.
The Rotary and Commercial clubs are
boosting hard, urging every member
to attend the game and encourage his
acquaintances to do so. Last year
Omaha won the cup with an attend
ance of 5,000, It is hoped over 6,000
will fill the stands this year. This
figure, it is believed, will w in the cup
although the other cities arc striving
hard to take the trophy away from
Omaha.
Many box parties will be niven
Tuesday. The box scats arc on sale
at Barkalow Bros., Sixteenth and
Karnam streets.
China Expected
To Declare War
Inside Two Weeks
1 'eking, April 29. A declaration oi
war against Germany by Cliina is ex
pected within a fortnight.
the special comini!,ion for inter
national affairs designated by the gov
ernment lias advised that China enler
the war. The question will go hefore
Carhamcnt shortly.
Ihe American minister. Dr. Paul
Reinsch, held a reception at'the lega
tion today to twenty provisional mili
tary governors composing the military
conterence which recommended re
cently that China declare war. The
governors were received with fill'
military honors by the legation guard
