DOUBLE-HEADER
SPLIT BY ROURKES
AND JOPLIN CREW
Rourkes Take First Game by
2-0 Score and Fail to Over
come Miners' Early Lead
in the Second.
The Omaha players continued
their batting streak in the first of a
two-game session at Rourke park
yesterday and clouted out nine bin
gles for two runs, but fell down sad
ly in the second game and could
only snag five hits, which netted
them but one-third the number of
Joplin's counters.
Barbeau flied out to left field and
Jackson and Hazen each bingled.
Kirby hit to short and Hazen was
caught at the second bag, with Kir
by on first. Kirby started for sec
ond, and when the ball was thrown
to second, Jackson beat it for home
and slid in safely for the first run.
Gislason walked, but Hale popped to
second.
During the fourth inning an aero
plane flew over the park, but Al
Bashang refused to give it a look.
It will be remembered that Al
watched one while on the road and
let a ball get away from him for a
home run. He took no chances yes
terday. Joplin tried hard for a
score in the fourth, but couldn't
make it on two hits and two errors.
Catcher Collins tried for a foul off
the grandstand and ran into the rail
ing and injured his arm. Diamond
took his place in the next frame,
leading off at bat, but was thrown
out. Donica to Jackson. He also
caught the next game.
Kddie Hazen advanced to the
plate four times in the first game,
and hit safely three times and bunt
ed for a sacrifice in the fourth effort,
giving him 1.000 per cent for the
panic in hatting. He caught three
fly halls knocked out to him, but
booted a ground ball that came over
second base.
The teams battled four innings
without a score or a chance to count
in the second game but in the fifth,
Mclver singled and was caught on a
fielder's choice play on Diamond's
hit to third base, Donica tagging
him for the out. Diamond went to
second on Smith's out, pitcher to
first. He scored on Burwell's hit.
Thompson was safe on Gislason's er
ror, but Burwell was run down be
tween the bases, Hale finally get
ting the put-out with Gislason and
Jackson each getting an assist on
the play.
The Minersscored two in the
sixth frame, Hulswitt singling and
Horan sacrificing him to second.
Breibeck walked and when Mclver
came to bat with a two-sack wallop,
they both scored. Diamond made
the third out, hitting to Donica, who
threw him out to Jackson.
The Rourke's only counter-sprouted
in the seventh inning. Hale flied
out to right field and Donica and Ba
shang each made a single, Don scor
ing on Bashang's clout. Merz hit
to third and was thrown out to first,
and Bashang was caught trying for
, third by a return throw from first
to third. Their only run or chance
for a run was in this inning.
In the ninth, Gislason and Hale
started the fireworks with a single
each, but died there. Donica flew
out to right field, Bashang fanned
and Schinkel batting for Merz flied
to right field.

Sensational Plays Mark
Games On Sandlots Sunday
Murphys Beat the Nebraska Powers in 12-Inning Battle ;
Vinton Street Merchants Beat Townsend Gun Com
pany in 11-Inning Fray; Kufek Barely Misses No
Hit Game.
By WILLIAM O. BLOZIES.
Extra inning3, several shutouts, ties, protest and nu
merous surprises marked the contests on the amateur base
ball program yesterday afternoon staged by the teams of
the various leagues affiliated with the municipal amateur
base ball program.
The manv thousands of amateur
followers who witnessed the battles
were given a real treat and enjoyed
the national pastime as dished out
by the local sandlots.
Tracticallv every frame staged
was chuck full of excitement from
start to finish and kept the spec
tators on their feet, even in the one
sided affairs.
Murphys Win.
Before one of the largest crowds
that ever attended an amateur game
in the city, the Greater Omaha
league, the' crack Class A circuit,
inaugurated their search on the bat
tlefield at Thirty-second and Dewey
avenue, when the Nebraska Power
company and the Murphy-Did-Its
staged a fast and snappy 12-inning
affairs, which resulted in a 4 to 3
victory for the Murphys.
The game, no doubt, was one of
the best staged by the Class A
teams in many years. From start
to finish the battle was exciting and
was nobody's game until the last
Power lad was nailed at the initial
sack.. Frank Potacli, considered one
of the best twirlers in the city, was
on the firing line for the Power
boys and pitched great ball, al
though errors by his teammates
proved his downfall.
Sensational fielding on the part
of Christensen and Blackie McAn
drews of the Power company in
the tenth inning was one of the fea
tures of the game. "Blackie" made
a great one-hand catch of a hard
hit ball, making a somersault, but
held onto the ban. Immediately
after, Christensen pulled down a
liner with one-hand which would
have gone for a homer.
Both teams scored in the fifth in
ning, each making a run. Hay was
hit by a pitched ball, and was
brought home on an error and an
out. The Power company made
their run when Norgard singled and
Potach tripled, but Norgard was
called out because he failed to touch
second base, Potach was brought in
by a bingle by Wolfe.
Powers Take Lead.
The Power company nine took
the lead when they scored in the
sixth when Yost singled and was
forced to second by Kemmy and
Kemmy was brought in home by an
out and an error by Christensen.
The Murphys tied the score when
they made a run in the eighth when
Synek was safe on an error and
was brought home on Payne's dou
ble. In the Murphys' half of the
ninth they took the lead when Hay
got on first because Yost dropped
his high fly. He scored on a single
by Synek after Krug had singled.
Score Tied Again.
In the Powers' half of the ninth
they tied the score when Gernandt
doubled and came home on two er
rors. Potach was outpitched by Hay,
who was on the firing line for the
Murphys. Hay allowed eight hits,
while the Murphys made nine. He
also struck out 13 men and Potach
but five.
Payne, Lawler and Mancuso each
made two hits for the Murphys.

Eleven-inning Battle.
In the preliminary contest, staged
by the Townsend Gun Co., leaders
of the Gate City, and the Vinton
Street Merchants, the fans also wit
nessed an exciting 11-inning battle,
when the leaders met their first de
feat of the season, by a 2-to-0 score.
Up to that fatal inning neither team
was able to send a man across the
platter, although both teams had
men on bases in the earlier rounds.
In the eleventh, with a man on sec
ond, P. Zink, center fielder of the
Merchants, doubled to center, scor
ing the first run for the winners.
Zink then stole third and scored
the last run of the game on a passed
ball.
Cheborad, on the mound for the
Merchants, struck out 19 batters and
allowed but two hits, while Joe
Ort of the Gunners whiffed 14 men
and allowed seven hits.
The Omaha Printing Co., Jrs.,
sprung a surprise when they won
from the McKenney Dentists, by an
ll-to-6 score, due to the brilliant
hitting of Outfielder Hanahan, who
secured a home run, three triples
and two doubles. West, who start
ed the pitching for the printers, gave
way in the fifth frame to Garvey, on
account of his wildness.
The Beselins handed the Originals
a 7-to-3 defeat and thereby moved
a notch higher in the percentage.
Bowens Win.
By a score of 14 to 2. the Bowen
Furniture Co. tightened their grip
on first place in the City league.
Bill Pinault. on the mound for the
Bowen's, allowed four hits and
struck out 11 men, while the furni
ture lads secured 14 hits off Cole
man. The McCaffery Motor squad
again defeated the Mickel Victrolas
and moved a notch closer in the pen
nant race. Yesterday's score was
6 to 4 in 10 frames. Al Zeigler, who
recently returned from France made
his first apptarance in the box for
the Mickels and pitched a good
game, allowing the Motor crew but
five hits, although errors proved
costly. Up to the ninth inning the
Mickels were leading by a" score of
4 to 2. but in the ninth a walk and
two hits tied the score, while in
the tenth a hit, a walk and a few
errors gave the Motor crew a vic
tory. Wenke started pitching for
the McCafferys but was relieved by
Wahl in the tenth round, when the
Mickles had the sacks loaded and
one out. Ziegler sent a hard liner
to McCabe in centerfield, who made
a great one-handed catch and
doubled the runner off second. The
fielding of Wahl at third and Pesd
ritz of the Motor crew featured,
while the fielding of Hiatt of the
Mickels was sensational, he making
two one-handed catches in rightfield.
Almost No-Hit Game.
After pitching eight and two
third innings without allowing a hit.
Smith of the American Railway Ex
press made a scratch hit over the
first corner, thereby robbing Pitcher
"Speedball" Kufek of the Riggs Op
tical Co., out of a no hit game. Ku
fek struckout 18 batters. The Riggs
won by a score of 14 to 0.
The Universal Motor crew came
back strong and defeated the J. B.
Roots by a score of 12 to 6, while
the Sample-Harts pulled down the
Paxton-Vierlings, leaders of the
American league a notch, winning
by a 6 to 3 score. Beers was in
the box for the Vierlings and al
lowed six hits, while Scheaf of the
winners allowed but three.
The Harding Cream Co. and the
John Day Rubber Co., the latter
tailenders in the Inter-City league,
played a 10 to 10 tie game for nine
rounds. The game was called to al
low the teams to play the second
game. The contest was a see-saw
affair from start to finish. In the
third round the Rubber crew sent
eight men across the plate.
By the score of 15 to 12, the An
derson Drug Co. won from the
Beddeos, thereby sending the latter
team to the cellar position in the
Inter-City league. By a 11 to 8
score the Highland Park Pharmacy
won from the Harley-Davidson's.
