Time Rourkes Have Been
' In First Place Sjnce'
Season Opened.
The- Rourkes are leading the
- Western league!
While their game with Sioux City
wis postponed yesterday on account
of rain, Jack Coffey's Des Moines
Boosters trounced St. Joe, quandom
leapue leaders, 8 to 1.
Wichita lost to Oklahoira City,
thereby dropping their chance to
place second.
Their First Time.
This is the first time the locals
have held the top position all by
themselves this year. They won the
opening game of the season at Tul
sa when Palmero held the Oilers to
six hits. That put them in a four
c6rnered tie with the thre other
cpening-day victors. The next'day
they lost and fell from first place.
On their southern trip subsequent to
the opening day; the Rourkes hit the
toboggan and landed finally in last
place.
Small Pitching Staff.
Just before their return home for
the Opening day here, May s, they
started uo the ladder. Their climb
lias been persistent, but slow. Yes
trrday they offorded the pleasure of
being literally 1 crowded into tirst
place.
Pa Rourke has the smallest pitch
ing staff in the Western1 league. His
inability to locate a man he knows
will win in this league has thrown
the burden of the twirling on Emilio
Palmero, Oscar Fuhr, Charlie Kopp
and Earl Schatrman.
Boosters Wallop Luschen
, And Lynch for 13 Hits
Des Moines, la.', May- 26. Des
Moines Clouted Luschen and Lynch
for 13 safe hits, which were good for
21 bases and easily defeated St.
Joseph in the first game of the
series his afternoon, 8 to 1. O'Con
nor's home run over the right field
wall was one of the longest hits
made at the local park in some time.
