Close Decision in Baseball Game Defeats Locals Lose 4 to 1 to U. S. Veterans' Team at Greenwood Tourney O'Don nell Leads in Hitting. The local Merchants last Saturday were the victims of the most ques tionable umpire decision of the base ball season, and the decision was the most important factor of their 4-1 defeat. The decision came in the locals' half of the ninth frame on a powerfully batted ball of "Gabby" Street, with the bases loaded and Herb Sundstrom called out when scoring. The conquerors of the locals was a team representing the U. S. Veterans' hospital of Lincoln and was composed of players from the Bob Robinson's garage and Woodman teams of Lincoln. The Vets' second baseman, Blakeaville. was Identified as Herman Rohrig, University of Ne braska backfield ace. Townsend, youthful capital city hurler allowed- 9 hits and struck out 7. Lloyd Thierolf, Louisville chucker, who toiled for the locals allowed the erstwhile hard-hitting Vets but 7 hits and whiffed 8 in a surprisingly good exhibition of hurling. "Gabby" Street played center field and was scouted by Joe Mathes and another St. Louis Cardinal repre sentative. Although "Gabby" failed to collect a hit, three "circus" catches robbed him of hits, one a potential homer with the sacks stuffed, and he convinced all present that he has dynamite In his hits. Jack O'Donnell had two doubles to lead the local hitting. Box score: Plattsmouth AB Tt H.
