Clenwood Wins.
The Plattsmouth base ball team lost !
the game played Friday afternoon with i
the husky lads of Glenwood on their j
own lot. Our boys had played along
with a good lead having made three
runs in the early part of the game
while the Glenwood boys had crossed
the plate but twice. They limbered up
however in the first half of tho seventh
and three singles filed the bases. It
was a critical point in the game as a
good long hit could easily bring in
enough runs to make a win. However
our boys were not worrying much as
we had two outs and the batter was not
considered strong as he had fanned
twice before in the game and already
had two strikes chalked up against him.
So Mason twisted on his heel, swung
his mighty arm and the ball swished
through the air toward the batter.
Freddy Mann our catcher, had made a
nice nest in his pillow for the ball but
it never nestled; for whang! and in a
very few seconds it had soared over
the high fence, a few yards back of
the left field and was lost. The batter
grown desperate by his former unsuc
cessful attempts to make good, had
shut his eyes, swung wildly and ac
cidently made a hit which won the
game for his team, as no other runs
were made and the game closed 6 to 3
in favor of Glenwood.

Picnic Entertainment.
A number of the young lady friends
of Mrs. L. E. Shaulis were delightfully
entertained last Thursday evening in
honor of her sister, Miss Oma Pendar
vis, and friend, Miss Nellie Kelly, of
Omaha. Well supplied with baskets
containing the choicest of the seasons
eatables the merry company camped
near the large Rurlington bridge and
indulged in various summer pastimes
and picnic stunts, delightfully enjoying
the afternoon and evening.
The tempting picnic supper was
spread at a welcome hour and the rapid
disappearance of the many toothsome
dainties prepared by the hostess amply
testified to her culinary skill as well ns
to the hearty appetites of the merry
makers. Boating and outdoor games
were greatly enjoyed by the picnickers
and also an attempt to cross the bridge
in which the young ladies were kindly
but firmly frustrated by the good na
tured watchman. Those in the party
were; Misses Lillian Thompson, Eliza
beth Kerr, Hazel Tuey, Ina and Verna
Hatt, Jennie Batten, Katherine Lough,
Dallas, Texas, and Anna Nosworthy of
Dixon, Illinois.
