AT THE BALL PARK.
The Plattsmouth Team Cets a
Came on Council Bluffs.
The liase bull game yesterday at the
ball park proved a great attraction for
lh ioo)lc, and hundreds of theiu made
their way to the grounds after the street
parade, street cars and hacks being in
great demand. It was the opening of
the ball season for I'lattsmouth and win
nn all around success. The Council Blurt
team, named Odell Bros., arrived in good
time on the morning train from Omaha,
and promp'Iy at 2 o'clock both teams re
paired to the ball park west of the city.
The game opened at 3 'clock sharp, and
lasted two hours. The following is the
score by innings.

The game was a good one for Platts
mou tli's first day. The boys played goad
all around and many high compliments
were passed ou them by base bal lists in
the ampatheatrc. The Odell Bros, were
apparently unable to hold their own
against Plattsmouth, though the c-itch-r
and dumb pitcher were at times highly
complimented. The game might be
calltd a pleasant one from the fact then
was no wrangling, disputes or guyin
fr om the crowd.
