& v :. . . .
Omaha opened the Western league
season at Iume yesterday with ap
nrnnrialo 'rfmnnln. Part of the
. - -
; ceremonies consisted of lickingr the
Sioux who fitd to be pesKy. It was
reported the score was 18 to 3. This
... . ik. rr.-:i
was me qcm eucss ui mc uunni
scorer, who nearly passed away dur
- insr the fifth spasm.
I f,.U. mi..A at 1.c nn, run In
j every inning except the eighth. The
Rourkes also made at least one hit
, in every inning except the eighth.

!S Jhe best of our athletes in the eighth
so they weni out one, two, tnree.
Holderman was the only Rourke
to make only one hit. lie made, a
double. But he was only at bat threw
;. limes, drawing two walks and making
' a aacrifice fiy. Everybody else got
r at least two. Callahan got four, in
cluding fwo triples and one double.
, ' Cal also scoied four runs. Defate
j .and Van Gilder each made three safe
swats.'.
Uses Rookie Hurler. '
Bill Jackson crossed the fans by
lending Van Gilder into the box in-
stead of the veteran, Otto Merz, and
, Ke selected Lingle, the kid catcher,
to officiate behind the bat instead of
Pratt. It tiyned out to be a toler-
My wise" move.
Van Gilder hurled nifty ball for
i tour innings. Then there wasn't, any
need tff pitch any more, so he merely
:. i15ed 'cm in the groove and let the
oux hit as best they could, which,
; it must be confessed, was nothing to
. irag about. Lingle caught a whale
if game and batted 1,000 with two
( jits, one triple, in two times at bat
0 Play Snappy Ball
The Rourkes played fast, snappy
. ball throughout They fielded in
freat style stid played everything to
l..e limit on the bases. ' -
Singles by Jackson and Van Gilder
!i a triple by Callahan, mixed in
vi'Jh combined bone and an error by
Tcny Smith and walks to Defate,
. ? lolderman and Lingle, gave the
rurkes a five-run lead in the first.
Laubles by Donica and Callahan and
tingles by Dcfatey Lingle, Van Gilder
Bashang with a walk, a hit bats-
.ia and a sacrifice netted five more
3i the second and incidentally ended
the career of Mr. McGranor.
A' walk to Jackson followed by
Donica's single and Defate's double
stored one in the third and Callahan's
-trl-ler walk to Lingle, Van Gilder's
hit, Bashang's sacrifice and Jackson's
e counted two in the fourth.
The fifth was another fieid day with
fve hits bringing home three tallies
1 ngle runs were scored in the sixth
seventh cn walks and hits.
