'.Saints Put Bluejacket in Box
and He's Boy. Who Took
Starch Out of Omaha,
Six to One.
St. ' Joseoh Mo.. May 20. Special
. Telegram.) Those Saints displayed a
" far different form of bate ball this
. afternoon than that of the preceding
day and defeated the Rourkes, 6 to 1,
' in the prettiest game of base ball seen
at League park this season. It was
base ball of the sort to send a real fan
' into the realm of delight, for not an
I error was made by either team and
, jf play was snappy and filled with ginger
to every inning.

if the Saints in the opening of the same
I and walked the first three men at bat
j He threw his glove in disgust, rtaliz
I ing that his arm was going badly and
1 Chief Blue Jacket, who had been signed
.... ? only a few minutes before the same
I started, 'took the burden upon him
I self and right well did he bear it, for
t oniy tnree .mts were secured on ms
. t delivery, one of these of the decidedly
scratch variety, and the Rourkes were
I made to eat out of his hand in a
f lamblike manner.
' " Bluejacket Makes Real Hit
P Bluejacket: made a great hit with
( the fans on his first appearance and
) if he continues such work as that of
I yesterday lie has not only won a per
manent home here but has greatly
j; ttrengthened the Hanlon team.'
L Kopp opposed the Saints and was
, - !oundt with the greatest of ease be
ing nicked (for ten safe blows, many
! o ( which meant runs, and every one of
Tihe half, dozen tallies secured by the
Saints was accounted an earned run
j In the official score.
t Omaha played good , ball in the
f field and pulled down some difficult
; chances, but could do nothing with
such . pitching, as that Bluejacket
j was giving them. Never after the
a first inning did they have a chance to
i become , dangerous and it was the
j Saints' game from the outset
The -Hanlon men , disported them
i selves about the diamond like major
- league ball players and no better
' game could have been seen at any
park nor in any league. It was base
v ball of the highest possible type.
! Manager Bill Jackson said after the
' game that it was the first time this
season the Rourkes bad been out
, ' played at all points. Otto Nye, who
was sold by Omaha to the Saints yes
" terday, worked out in batting practice
with the St Joseph team.

COMMERCE CLUB
COMES TO AID OF
OMAHA BASE BALL
To Sell 20,000 Tickets in
Coupon Books to Guarantee
Franchise; Booster
Day Friday.
1 The Chamber of Commerce has
come to the rescue of the Omaha base
ball club.
The governing body of the pub
licityv committee yesterday voted to
give the ball club the necessary boost
to assure its existence for the current
year by selling 20,000 tickets.
VV..A. Rourke, president of the base
ball club, attended the meeting. He
explained the situation as it exists
and showed that the league needs a
helping hand.
Will Not Move.
"I am not here to threaten to take
the ball club away from Omaha in
the event the Chamber of Commerce
does not follow this plan," said
Rourke. "Omaha has been a good
ball town. Omaha has been my home
for 19 years. I am a citizen of Oma
ha. I like the town. And no mat
ter what happens I will not move
the club to Peoria or any other city.
If the worst comes to the worst I
will simply close up.
"The Omaha base ball club has lost
