THE TIMES.

80X CRUSH OMAHA III SWATFEST. 18-5 Callahan's Rap Ball Twenty Times, Scoring Heavily Near Finish.

City triumph all the way, and the count was 13 to 4 whn the umpire was requested by an agent of the B. P. C. A. to call the game in the eighth Inning ao that a handful of half-froien bugs could be saved from death. The weather turned twenty degrees colder In a few hours yesterday and threatening weather added to the discomfiture of the players and spectators, but the two teams started what turned out io be a highly entertaining farce. Manager Evers gave Big Bill Powell his second tryout of the trip and also a chance to show the home folks what he could do in a real big league uniform. The exhibition was not edifying to Bill's friends, of which this town is full. In fact, Powell was awful. In Ed Reulbach's wildest moments he never dreamed of anything as awful as Bill perpetrated.

would take the match, but named prohibitive terms. Tha proposed match between Jack Dillon and Gus Christie probably will be staged later in April.

Oklahoma City, Okla., April 4.-

There was an order from the manager f the "White Sox yesterday to go out

and get some runs, and the players

obeyed orders by trouncing Bill

Rourke' Omaha team, 18 to 5. This satisfied the manager, though he did show the boys where they could have scored a couple more by another notch of speed. Rourke brought his athletes down here three weeks ago for training purposes.--They got more work yesterday than in all the other days sino their arrival, and after today's game with the Sox the Western league boys should be In shape to open their season. There was a bit of chill In the air, quite a contrast to what the Sox experienced In crossing the desert, and they had to keep moving to be warm. Consequently there was no horse play and the fellows went out and put up major league ball against class A ball and the difference was thirteen runs.

ST. LOUIS IS VICTOR

111 (1 TOURNEY Maupome, Called Into Fray in 79th Inning, Beats

Shea of Chicago.

By bringing up its Mexican reserve force at a critical stage St. Louis took the opening game from Chicago in the three-cushion championship of the National Billiard league, 60 to 48, at Mussey's rooms last night. The victory placed the Mound City men again in the lead, and Chicago will have to take the two remaining games In order to have a show to retain the title. K. V. Calmer, who started for the visitors, gave Jimmy Shea a hot bat

tle, but the local man started one of

his characteristic finishes, and at the

end of the seventy-eighth inning was leading 46 to 42. At this Juncture

Manager Calmer called in Pierre Mau

pome, and the Mexican in ten innings

made the necessary eight points while

Shea was gathering tn.

The battle lasted eighty-eight in

nings. Calmer making forty-two points

In his seventy-eight Innings and get

ting high run of four. Shea getting a high run of six.

ATTELLWINS ANOTHER BOUT New York, April 4. -Abe Attell had easily the better of his scheduled tenround bout with Jimmy Walsh at the Forty-fourth Street club last night. The former champion outboxed his opponent and deserved the decision, but the bout was a slow, uninteresting affair and did not at any stage get the fans "on their feet." Attell appeared in splendid form and at times showed a return of the speed that once made him famous, but at the end of each round he slowed up,, and Walsh seized upon the opportunity to even things up. At the finish 'neither

showed any outward evidence of having been in a match. The ringside weights were: . Walsh, 124: Attell. 123.
