, Minneapoli, Minn., Sept. 16. .(Special Telefram.)
Omaha suffered a double dote of defeat at the hands of Min
neapolis today. Both the' Armours and Murphy-Did-IU were
.victims. . r T
',Th Araouri, pltyin the WilcoxO

in the first Came of the inter-city se
ries to determine the amateur cham
pionship of the United States, lost out,
4 to 2, while the Murphys were de
fatted, 4 to 0, by the Lake Athletics,
Gtss A runnen-up of Minneapolis.
'While Omaha's colors were trailed
ht the dust, the Gate City athletes
made two mighty fast ball games pos-
sible.. Both, the Armours and Mur
phys played good ball and they fought
until the last man was out. The Ar
mours ran Into a little too much class
in the Wilcox Trux.

did the best he could, but the heavy
artillery of the Trux was too swift
for the gray-haired veteran and they
pounded him for ten safe knocks. ,
TRUX START FAST.
'Tne Trux got away to a flying start
in the first two innings, before the
Omaha packers settled down. After
the first two innings the Armours out
played their foes. After two were
down in the opening stanza, Fushman
beat out a scratchy infield hit. Wines
followed with a double to right, which
advanced Fushman to third.
Cahlander pounded a safe knock
through second, scoring Fuhrman.
Mines came on home on the play.
Musser had him a mile at the plate,
but knocked the ball out of Mussers
1 hands and was safe. ,
"In the second stanza C Andersen
tipped off a: double to center and
scored on Sherohmans safe drive to
center. -.,, :.:,

.From that round on Graves hurled
"great bait. In the fourth Rapp was
safe on John Andersons error and
- he went . to third on a miscue by
Sherohman. He scored on Bowleys
infield hit. ... . "
't The Wilcox crew marked up:an
t other tally in the fifth on Sheroh-
msn's double and Fuhrmau's single.
. The last Armous run was made in
the' ninth. Weiss Corcoran startled
the crowd "with a ripping: triple to
left. He scored on Bowleys' sacri

' , Murphy's Strike a Snag.
.The Murphy-nid-Its fell before a
class team. It was first agreed the
Murphy's were to play the ' Gross
Northers class B champs of Minne
apolis. , But at the last moment, the
local authorities switched and made
the Murphy's play the Lake athletes,
A class a league pennant winner and
Runnersup to the Wilcox trux in the
city .. championship scries.
.The Murphy's never murmured, but
consented to tackle the class A boys
or anybody else Minneapolis had to
offer. "We should worry who we
play, how big they, are or how fast
they may be. We re in the name for
the sport of it," declared Bert. Mur
phy and his diamond athletes.

So. the Omaha Class B lads gamely
went up against a team of superior
classification, and believe us. the v nut
p a nicely fought battle. The Lakes
kfiew they werfc in a ball game after
they, had earned their victory. : For
four innings Pete McCov held the
Lakes iritless, but he couldn't keep it
up, and the Lakes finally pounded out
the hits which delivered the tallies.
At that the Murphys made as many
Hts as the .Lakes.
'Afterthe double defeat, the Ar
moars and Murphys decided to beat

JOPLIN NOW TIED
FOR FIRST PLACE
Double Victory Over Salt Pack
ers Gives Miners Boost;
Now Neck-and-Neck
With Hutchinson.
Joplin, Mo., Sept. 16. Ray Sanders
pitched his way to fame here today,
when he shut out the league leaders(
in the final double-header of the sea
son, and by so doing brought the Jop
lin club into a tie for first place in the
standings for the second half of the
Western league season. The score of
the first game was 4 to 0 and that of
the second game 8 to 0.
The double win by the Miners
makes a "play off' series necessary.
The first two games of the series will
be played in Joplin tomorrow and
Tuesday and the next two will be
played in Hutchinson Wednesday and
Thursday. St. Joseph, who could
have tied with Hutchinson and Jop
lin with thirty-two won and twenty
four lost, was eliminated , from the
race' when Lincoln took the first game
of the 'double-header at . St. Joseph,
Joplin made a running start for the
top August Zo when the team returned
home from a disastrous road trip in
seventh place with a percentage of
only ,406. Nineteen of the twenty-
four games played then have been
won by the Joplin club. Score:
