The people of North Platte had he opportunity Tuesday and Wed nesday of witnessing two of the best gaincB of ball ever played at Athletic park, the opposing team being the strong Kearney nint which but a short time ago defeated the local team by a score of four teen to nothing. Manager Welch brought up hit team from Kearney Tuesday morn- nd confident of glorious victories; ue returned yesterday morning wearing a dejected face and with a soul filled with anguish. That the mpctuouB Mr. Welch should look and tcel that way was without cause, for though twice dctcatcd his team had played good ball. in Tuesday's game it required ten innings to decide the battle royal. In the first inning Kearney sent two men around the bases and then stopped short never to get around acain nine goose eirgs following. The local team made two runs iu the second and one in the tenth, making the score three to two in favor of the North Plattes. The game abounded in fine plays and but one error was made during the came. Redmond and Martin formed the battery lor the local team and done as fine work aB was ever seen here Mar tin showed his strength at the bat, making two two-batreers and one three-bagger. Wednesday's game was also a ten inning contest but it had an unhappy ending. Kearney went to the bat and made a run in tue urst nning, failed to score in the sec ond, third, fourth and fifth innings, made one score in the sixth, three n the seventh, failed to score iu the eighth and ninth and made a run m tne tentu. The JNortu Platte's scored one in the first in mng, two in tue second, one in tue third, failed to score in the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh, made one run in the eighth and got a goose egg in the ninth. Thus at the last half of the tenth inning the score stood six to five in favor ot Kear ney, and then the trouble began. The North Plattes went to the bat and Blaine Kitzmiller made a safe hit, stole second and on a long hit made by Sawyer reached third and started tor the home bag. Ab he passed third Elliott, who had been coaching at that base, ran toward home with Kitzmiller and was close to him when he touched the home Klate, and the umpire declared itzmillcr sate. This decision was at once questioned by Manager Welch of the Kearney team and several of bis players and resulted in a furore which for a time looked as though it might result in a fight. The Kearneyites at first took the grounds that the catcher had touched Kitzmiller with the ball, but the catcher admitting that he had touched Elliott instead of Kitz miller, caused them to change their stand and question the score on the right of Elliott to run in with Kitzmiller. The result was tuat Kearney refused to continue the game and it was given to the North Plattes by a score of nine to noth ing. At tnc time Kitzmiller Bcoreu no men were nut and ths chances for North Platte making further runs were very good.
