Errors In One Inning Gave Cow
Pjnchers Five Runs W in
ning Game.
(From Monday's Daily)
Yes, Emma, our bonnet's wilted.
It's just like putting hobbles on n
rliinocerous to put Mann on third
put him U'hind the hat where he can
deliver the brand of goods of which
he is capable or put hjm on the bench
but don't play him in the most im
portant position of the field where he
subjects himself to the costly errors
of which he Js not wholly responsible
It's natural to boost when we win
and also natural to "holler" when we
lose, but the criticism due yesterday's
game is legitimate, for it was replete
with errors which alone were respon
sible for our being drubbed. Willi
the exceptions of the otie inning
when the cattle rustlers crossed the
rubber 5 times, the boys played ball
and played better ball than did the
vistois.
While Pike succeeded in striking
out just half the men who faced him,
yet he was touched up for 7 hits,
wlule Bardwell was pounded on the
middle for but 5. Five, hits and seven
runs. Figure it out for yourself
0 errors, the majority being made in
one inning when the bases were full
of pig stickers no wonder we lost.
The Omaha boys played a steady
game, making but three errors. They
have three good stickers, bunched,
and when they appeared there was
generally something doing, however,
Barney pitched winning ball, keeping
their hits down well, and would have
won out had he had the support due
him.
The game started out snappy enough
even though the rain was delivering
the spiball. Kennedy ground to
pitch and was an easy out to first.
Talbot sawed and Clark flied out to
left.
Il.'.l fanned as did Droege. Fitz
singled over third, Got a good Lad
on Foxy Mr. Tike and stole second so
easily ihat he tried the stunt at ihiid.
A throw to catch him there win, to
the jungles and he scored. McCauhy
grounded to Tike and he went out.
Lt em y fiied out to left and (iillen
punctured the atmosphere for three
while Yost went out on a ground to
Fitz to Mac.
Mason led off with a long drive to
their left garden but before it reached
the frog pond the maverick specialist
had it on his saddle horn, llerold hit
to short and beat it out to first. Stole
second and when Bardwell boosted
the sphere up in the sky about a foot
which was glommed at first he dug
for third and was caught by about
forty feet and two centimeters. Tak
ing long chances is all right at the
proper time.
Pike drove a hot one through
Barney but before Fitz could fit Id it
Pike had reached the-quarter pole,
i honias lammed out a Texas league
but Billy Fitz again did the impossibl
and ate it alive, doubling Pike at first
who had also considered it safe and
was making tracks for second. Pat
thought his wagon tongue a hod
and stood still while Barney tied a
little tin can to his appendix.
Kelly fanned, Mann sawed, Beal
Hied out to left.
Kennedy flied out to Bardwell, Tal
bot t went out on a pop-up to Droege
and Clark grounded to Mac on the
base.
Short innings these.
Droege pop-up to Pike Fitz upercut
for naught and McCauJey her his
vertebra reaching for the high ones.
. Here is where the boys put up their
exhibition of what they really can
do.
Freddie was not alone in the error
cart, for the first dobber up drove a
long one to center, and Beal misjudged
running under, which put Leeney to
second. Gillen ground to Fitz out to
first. Yost touched one up for two
bases and Leeney scored. Pike fol
lowed with a bingle which put Yost on
third. In trying to steal second he
vanished by a rod, Pete being there
so strong that Yost made no attempt
to score. Thomas crossed him with a
single and Murphy went out on a

on the score hoard which is located
way up the side of a mountain back

hit safe to center and Yost made for
home. Beal relayed to Fitz who would
have; caught him out at the plate had
he not misjudgcel Pete's ability to
do the sky rocket, and this meant
another score. Thomas grounded
out to Barney to Mac.
Seve n balls were pitched to end the
last' ef the sixth inning. Kelly flied
out to first, Mann and Beal sawing
out the next half dozen which Mr.
Pike poked.
Barney had an easier time delivcr-
ing but six balls, striking out the Irish
man and Kennedy coupled with the
first one over and it landed in Mason's
mitt. Talbot grounded out to Fitz
to Mac.
Again we scored in the seventh.
Droege failetl to connect and was saw-
e d. Fitz again hit safe. Mac hit safe
to center ami Fitz reached third.
Mason saeiifieed scoring Fitz and the
fans began to again take nourishment.
Pe te hit safe for two sacks and Mac
crossed the rubber. Bardwe II slammed
one down to first who erred and Pete
came home. Kelly struck out.
Mann hit safe and stole' second
Beal fanned and Droege was walkeel.
Fitz sacrificed advancing the Sox to
third and second. Here is where a
hit would have done the business
but Mr. Pike again got busy and shot
three over the plate that looked to
Mac like peewecs and the thirteenth
stake out was credited to Pike.
Nothing special took place in the
last inning, neither sielc sewing, due
to the excellent work of both Barney
and Pike.

to take up the life of the red skin
for the summer and for three months
he will be absent from his favorite
haunts around the knowledge insti

family have left for the famous lake
country of northern Minnesota, where
he has mapped out his plans to camp
for the summer on the Ojibwa Inelian

a genuine vacation and he is looking
forward to his first one like a little
tad anticipates his first swim of the

of flannel shirts ami cordroys and
a supply of fishing tackle. During his

grieved this morning over the loss of
his brother, one of the very few rela
tives the colonel had. The body will
be sent to this city for burial, the fu

The beloved old gentleman was al
ways hehl in high esteem in the hearts
of his many Cass county friends anel
the news of his death will be the cause
of grief in many a Cass county home.
More particulars on his life anel char
acter will be given later.
F ANGER'S AUCTION SALE
ATTRACTS LARGE CROWDS
Is
Making Preparations for Oc

July the First.
The crowds around M. Pauper's
department store auction side Satur
day night might have reminded a per
son of a run on a bank during the late
financial panic. By two o'clock, the
hour at which the side was billed to
commence, the store was crowded and
there were people stamling in the door
way. The' iwiciionctr Van Pelt of
Omaha had no trouble in making the
goods move from the shelves and be
tween the hours of two and eleven,
when the lights were turned out
hundreds of dollars worth of goods were
purchased by the trailers.

is the oft repeated story; they diel not

leaving tlnni until too late, and al
though Mr, Faiigcr has not publicly

Plattsmouth patronage at his Douglas

HAPPY CULMINATION
OF POP BOTTLE STUNT
Fremont Girl Encloses Name In
Bottle and Louisville Boy
Makes Her Ills Bride.
Very few marriages are brought
about through the medium of a pop
bottle, but many arc the divorces ob
tained through the bottle that contains
the spar,kling brew, and the pop
bottle romance of a Cass county boy
which has just come to light is now
bubbling over with its eferveseent
fluid of love, with no chance of Roy
ever tossing his Blue Ribbon bottle
into the murky waters of Separation
river.
It all happened like this:
Last year in July a picnic party
was formed at Fremont and among
the happy picnickers was one Mar
tha Launer.a pretty miss, who lived
with her parents in that city, anel who
had admirers by the score, but the
home guards did not appeal strong
e nough to Miss Martha and she had
visions of her Romeo that contained
the qualities that were lacking in her
present corps of lovers. Upon a sera)
of paper cut from a Nabisco box, she
plainly wrote "Finder please write
Martha Launer, Fremont, Neb." and
slipped it into an empty pop bottle,
pulled up the stopper anel threw it into
the uncertain waters of the Platte
and with a laughable remark as to the
possible results of her experiment she
forgot the incident until one day the
postman handed her a letter.
"Dear Friend," the missive read
"My heart is sure on fire; if you are
game to take my name, it'll soon
be 'Mrs. Meier. "
Here is where the correspondence
began. A meeting was soon arranged
and young Meier began to make his
Fremont visits part of his weekly
retinue, but this soon proved expensive
and last week while at his work he
decided to transfer the railroad fund
to the bread and butter account, and
thus makes both ends meet.
Friday Young Meier went to
Fremont, met his best and only,
told her the "story of his blighted
life", and she readily aciuiesceelto his
wishes. That evening they took the
train for Omaha where the necessary
papers were signed, the knot was tie el
anl today the bride and groom are in
Louisville visiting nt the home of the
young man's parents, who are well!

Justice Rlshel.
(From Tuesday's Dally)
Grant Blunt the Plattsineiuth young
man chargeel with grand larceny,
was brought before Judge Archer
this morning at nine o'clock, the hour
scheduled for his heming. An afli-
ivit was filed by Judge Sullivan, the

loncns of other articles. The haul

was mane irom a quantity oi goons
billed from an Omuha wholesale
store to C. L. Roks of Norway, Kansas,
the total being valued at nearly 5200.
Blunt entered the plea of not guilty
of stealing the poods.
As Justice W. B. Rishel was not
prepared for the trial, being called in
from his work on the city street
sprinkler, the transcript in the case
was waived and an allowance made for
its filing later. The remaining portion
of the morning was consumed in check'
ing over the invoice of poods anel ascer
taining if the articles were in the same

TODAY IS
FLAG DAY
One Hundred Thirty-Third
Birthday of Stars
And Stripes
GOVERNOR S1IALLENBLRGER
ISSUES A PROCLAMATION
Asks That Stars and Stripes Float
From Buildings and Resi
dences. (From Tuesday's Dally)
day is the 33rd anniversary
of t he adoption of the stars ami stripes.
It is not a li'gal holiday but the day
when Old Glory should furl from every
flap staff in the country to serve as
a reminder of the great unce naid
for the privilege of floating it to the
breeze on the navy's mastheads and
on the army's Ihigpoles. In this aire
of peace anel harmonious relations
with the great powers of the land.
the proper patriotism toward the stars
and stripes is liable to he overlooked
in the hurry and worry of the business
word, anel the annual display of the
colors from every public building and
home is a most fitting reminder of
the devotion which every American
should display, toward the national
emblem.
It was originated during the ad
ministration of Presielent McKinley
anel has been adopted by a Luge pro
portion of the states of the union
although it is not declared a legal
holiday in any of them, as far as can
lie ascertained. It is comparitively
a new red letter day on the American
calendar, but it is one that is being
observed in more state severy yar. The
The real motive for the observance of
of the day is to Mir up the red blood
in the veins of Young America, to give
them the proper reverance for the
flag anel to inspire the spirit of patriot
ism throughout the land.
It is a noticable fact that the youn
ger generation do not display the same
affeeuion toward Old Glloiy that the
old vctcroiiB do who have had the
smell of powder in their nostrils and
have seen blood spilled for the pro
tection of their flap. It is natural
they would hold the old flap dearer
when they have fought for it and have
seen their comrades give their lives
in order that it might not fall. The
younger generation can hardly hold
the same reverence for it that their
elders do and for this reason arc such
occasions as Meinoiial Day and Flag
Days essential. It is to be hoped the
spirit of the day will grow in the land
of the stars ,and stiipes and that in a
few years to come, caeh residence
will east Old Glory to the breeze on
June 14.
Governor Simile nbcrgrr has issued
the following Flag day proclamation.
By virtue of theauthority in me vest
eel, I hereby designate and proclaim
Tueelay, June 14, 1910, Flag clay.
On this 133d anniversary of the
day whe n by act of emigres the stars
and stripes were adopted as the na
tion's emblem, we me again reminded
that the devotion to livl.eity and jus
tice of our countrymen is ns fervent,
and enduring as the foundation upon
which rests the greatest achievement
in popular government recorded in
all history.
Let our olsonaiice of the clay lie
such as to ir.oci.late in our young merr
ami women a mest lofty inspiration
of patriotism, rd may our love and
veneration for the flap be renewed in
a sincere appreciation of the price of
human liberty.
It is accordingly directed that on
this day Old Glory be displayed from
the Capitol ami nil other state builel
ingds. I earnestly requect that the
citizens of Nebraska cxlilit the flag
on their homes, places of business
and all public buildings and may there
be a general and appropriate obser
vance of the day.
