The Kearney ball team loBt the last game to North Platte by a score ot mx to four, thus making three straight for the local team The third game, played Tuesday altcrnoou, was one of the few games in which the local team has played lucky, and the result was different than was expected prior to the seventh inning. At the cud of the sixth inning the Bcorc stood four to nothing in favor of Kearney, but in the seventh inning the locals pounded the leather covered sphere with sledge hammer blows and made six runs, making the score six to tour, and it stood at these figures the re mainder of the game. In this in ning Kilztniller sent the ball over the teuce in center Held, making a home run, for which he was re warded by the enthusiastic specta tors with a liberal purse. In the same inning Ilaucr made a three: bagger at a time when the bases were full, thus bringing in three i una.
