BOOSTERS MEET
ANOTHER DEFEAT
J. S. Cross Team of Omaha "Put
It Over" the Boosters by a
Score of 3 to 2.
The Plattsmouth Boosters yes
terday afternoon were defeated by
the J. S. Cross team of Omaha in
a contest that should have been
theirs but for a mix-up in racing
after a long lly by Mason and Ar
ries in the eighth inning, which
allowed the Crosses to bring in
the winning run. Plattsmouth at
this stage of the game was in the
lead by a score of 2 to 1, but the
accident brought the visitors to
the front, 3 to 2, and they main
tained this lead until the end of
(he game. Connor pitched a good
game for the boosters, but his
8Uiport from the infield was very
poor, although everything knock
ed to the outfield was handled in
splendid shape, and one William
Mason was the bright star in this
department, as he made several
difficult catches, and if he had not
been run into would have saved
the day in the eighth, as he was
in the act of taking the ball when
Arries bumped into him. The
Omaha pitcher was not par
ticularly effective, although his
support was much better than
that given Connor.
The visitors started right after
the bacon in the first inning,
when, after Kelley had been re
tired, C. Smilh to McCauley, Mc
Kee placed a safe one to short
slop and beat out the throw to
first. Gilliam, who followed Mc
Kee to bat, put a two-bagger over
second base that brought McKee
home with the first score, but
Grossman and Overman, who fol
lowed, were both struck out by
Connor. In Plattsmouth' s half f
the inning Salsburg secured a
safe one to the pitcher. L. Smith
retired, Hebcr to Grossman, and
then McCauley placed a hit to
Ihe pitcher and was thrown out
at first. Salsburg, who had
reached third, ventured too far
off the base, and before be was
aware of it was caught between
home and third, retiring the side.
There was nothing more doing
in the scoring line until the lucky
seventh, when Ihe Boosters began
to show I heir real gale. Cecil
Smith made a good drive down
the third base line and was safe
at first. Mason, who followed
him, was out on a lly lo short.
Then the fireworks were started
by Connor, who hit safe to center
field. Carle was put out on a lit
tle pop-up lo shortstop. About
this time Mr. Jefferson Salsburg
athanced to the plate with his lit
tle willow in his hand and laid
down on one of Mr. Heche's slants
for a two-bagger that brought
Smith and Connor home and
placed the Boosters one to the
good and made the hearts of the
fans beat joyfully, but the joy
was short lived, as in the eighth
Ihe Crosses, largely through luck,
succeeded in bringing two scores
over the plate. Beebe, the first
man up, tlew out to short and
Kelly was retired, C. Smith to Mc
Cauley, but McKee succeeded in
getting a pass to first, Ihe only
one presented during the game
by Connor. Gilham hit safely to
left field, and owing lo Ihe col
lision between Mason and Arries,
his hit was good and McKee came
across with Ihe score that tied
the game, and Grossman hit one
to third I hat. brought Gilham
across with the winning run.
Overman, the next man up, was
re I j red by a grounder to Mc
Cauley. This ended the scoring
for either side, and although our
boys were defeated, it was due
largely to their bad luck and not
to the superior work of the Cros
ses, and everyone felt they had
seen the best, game that has been
pulled off this season on the
home grounds. The line-up was

Last evening about 7:30, while
Edgar Stekihauer and Leland
Briggs were out enjoying a spin
on a motorcycle they met with
an accident that may prove quite
serious for Edgar and will lay him
up for some lime. They were rid
ing oul Washington avenue, and
seeing a team ahead of them,
slowed down lo pass, when as I hey
were opposile Ihe team one of Ihe
horses became frightened and
kicked out, striking Kdgar on the
side of the face, knocking him o(T
Ihe machine, as well as his com
panion, and Ihe machine was
dumped over lo the side of the
road, but was uninjured. The
injured boy was at once taken to
Ihe office of Dr. K. W. Cook,
where an examination was made,
but no serious fractures or in
juries could be discovered beyond
several bruises, and he was able
to walk home, although he seem
ed rather dazed. He was very
poorly during the night and this
morning had not fully recovered
his faculties and seems to still
be in a rather dazed condition. It
is most fortunate for the boys
that Ihe accident did not occur on
one of Ihe paved streets, as it
would have probably resulted in
most serious injury from the fall.

Further particulars of the
tragic death of Teddy Ilummell,
the little 4-year-old son of Jacob
Ilummell, of Beaver City, have
been received in this city. It seems
that the little boy had in some
manner evidently procured some
matches without the knowledge of
his parents and proceeded to the
barn, where he evidently started
a fire in the hay loft and soon the
whole structure was a mass of
flames. The mother of the boy
and his sisters were at the house
at the time of the fire, while the
father and an older brother were
working in a field. When the fire
was discovered it was not, thought
that Ihe lad hail been in the barn,
as it was suppoesd he was playing
somewhere around the house, and
a search was started for him
when he failed lo appear in a!
short time. One of the neighbors
of the llunimell family made the
discovery of the little charred
body lying beside that of a horse
in the burned barn and broke the
sad news lo the heart-broken par
ents. The many friends of the
flummell family in Ibis county
will extend their deepest sym
palhy in this their hour of bitter
grief over the loss of the beloved
son and brother. Will Rummell
departed yesterday morning for
Beaver City to attend Ihe funeral,
hich will be held from the home
lis afternoon.

two years ago as a telegraph

general regret that it is neces
sary for Mr. Trimpe and his
charming wife to leave our city,
but they will lake with them the
best wishes of a host of friends
for their future happiness and
good luck in the metropolis.
