ROURKES SMOTHER
BEARSW1TH HITS
Mark Up Ten Runs in First
Two Innings and Walk Away
With Contest by Twelve
to One Count.
Pa Rourke's tiopefuls had a field
day at the expense of the Denver
Grizzlies yesterday afternoon, win
ning 12 to 1.
The Grizzlies, usually a very feroc
ious tribe, were a meek and mild out
fit yesterday. The Rourkes hammer
ed home three runs in the opening
stanza and followed up their attack
with seven in the second. Incidentally
they chased Russell Ford and Man
ser to the shower in rapid success
sion.
Ford started the conflict and was
greeted by Joe Burg, the first man
up, with a two-ply knock to center.
Marty Krug caught a walk and
Thompson sacrificed. Earl Smith
whanged a double into center, send
" ing Burg and Krug over the rubber
for enough runs to win the game
only the Rourkes wanted to build
up their batting averages and made
a few more. Bradlye sent a zizzler
through Shanley and Smithy scored.
Ben Shaw gave the second stanza
. a Hying start with a single to left.
Irelan walked and Merz sacrificed.
Then Burg walked, filling the bases.
Manager Marty smacked a single to
rignr, scoring Shaw and Irelan, and
ending the career of Mr. Ford,
Smith Hits Homer.
Manser went on the firing line and
walked Thompson. Earl SmitljJ not
content with only a double, hit the
pm over the right held wall for
, home run, scoring Burg and Krug
aneaa 01 mm.
With nobody on base, Big Bill
nraaiey started tne jubilee all over
again. He sent a single through third
and Schick followed with a single to
left. Shaw forced Schick at second,
hut when drew a throw from
Shestak, stealing second and Brad
ley galloped home. ,
Manser lasted through the third
without allowing a run, but he had a
hard time, so Oakes derricked him
and put in young Lefty" Hartman,
who didn't do so bad.
The Rourkes marked up one on
Hartman in the fourth. Bradley
walked and Schick sacrificed after
which Irelan sent Big Bill home with
a triple to left.
Make It Even Dozen.
Just to make it an even dozen,
Omaha added one more in the sev-
enth on a single by Merz, Burg sac
rifice and Thompson's single to left.
wniie me Kourkes were mauling
the Bear hurling corps, Otto Merz
was throwing a nice, steady game.
The Dencerites annexed nine hits,
but they were weir scattered and one
run was, the best the opposition
could do. Otto was given errorless
support by his mates.
From the Omaha standpoint it was
a good ball game, although the lop-
iuu score rainer detracted trom the
interest.

Minneapolis, May 12. University
of Nebraska today defeated Univer
sity of Minnesota in a dual track and
field meet, scoring sixty-six points to
Minnesota's fifty-nine. No new rec
ords were established. Only first and
second places were counted in the
scoring.
Johnson scored thirteen points for
Minnesota by winning the 100 and
220-yard dashes and taking second in
the 440-yard dash, while Werner of
Nebraska collected twelve points by
winning the high jump, tying with
Murray of Minnesota in the broad
jump and taking second in the 220
yard dash.
Minnesota took an early lead by
winning the dashes, thei pole vault,
the discus and hammer throws, but
this was offset by the visitors
strength in the hurdles, mile run,
quarter-mile run, high jump and
javelin throw.
The result was in doubt, however,
until the last event, the mileelay,
which w.as won by Nebraska. 4
