banding of the .strong organization of the

patronago. Ono gnmo with the Schuylor
Quills resulted 9 to 7 in favor of Fremont ,
and was a hard earned victory , several
contests were had , both here and at Wahoo
with the Dorsoys of tlmt place , this Fremont
DoMoy.s winning the series. In one game
tlio local team mopped the lloorof the Wahoo
Dorseys by a score of 21 to 1. Twice the

tlmo In the Oregon state league.
Jim Collins occupies lirst for the Dorsoys.
Last year ho started out brilliantly but ho
fell down before tlio season was through and
didn't sustain the record ho promised at the
beginning to mako. Ho can wield the willow
with telling effect.
Jolly Frank Uoberts , the "orator , " Is one
of the best known players in Fremont. lie
betran his playing in Iowa where ho did some
good work for two or thrco leading ama
teur teams of that state. Ho plays second

age when occasion demands it. Ho is a good
batter and base-runner.
Graut Turner Is a strong man at third , Ho
is lltlio and willowj and never grows weary
or loses his head. Ho is a splendid base-
runner and a hard hitter. Frequently ho oc
cupies the box with deadly effect , his dowu-
shoots colnc like a ball fired out of n cannon.
Andy Signer's forte is behind the bat and
at third , and when ho is at either of these
points are held down to the queen's taste ,
though n tendency to short throwing to sec-
and from homoinakcs him a bettor man for
third than under the mask.
Platt Haven has won his laurels In rleht
Held. Ho Is'a good batter and base-runner
and a splendid thrower.
Lop Mailer played his points on the In or
outfield , just as exigencies demanded , and ho
never failed to play them well. Ho never
loses his courage and frequently brings vic
tory out of defeat through his grit and deter
mination. Ho is manager of the team.
The John L. Sullivan of the club Ls Jack
Davonporttho stalwart in loft garden. Jack's
favor'.to sport is , a running catch and n long ,
unerring base throw.
Center Fielder Snydor'a work was highly
commended last year , , Ho played only a few
games with tbo Dorsoys but these wero' al
most without an error.
Ed Ludwig Is a player It U safe to bank on.
Ho began his semi-professional career Hvo
years ago when lie played backstop for the
Fremont Grays. Since that tlmo hohns been
a main stay in the Arlington club and uccn a
valuable reserve for the Dorsoys.
'Gene Baxter plays short with n skill that
always wins plaudits with the grand stand.
Ho is great on a pick up of hot groundcM and
has a good batting record.
George Regar is the old man ot the club.

COUNCIL Br.oiTS , In. , April 17. [ Special to
THE Bun. ] There are but two ball clubs in
Council Bin Us , thd Odclls and the Models.
Both are amateur clubs of tbo most amateur
ish sort. During the last season the OJells
did not cut much of a lleuro in sporting cir
cles. The feat of gaining a reputation for
Council Bluffs in base ball was loft with the
Models , and they did the work with a von-
gevnco. Besides meeting clubs trom other
towns on their grounds with ditnstrous re
sults , they went away from homo and played
against scrub nines in a number of country
towns. Without a slnglo axcoption they re
turned wcar'-ng crapo. Council Bluffs has
never had much of a prestlpro In base ball af
fairs , and the present Indications do not point
to any decided change for the better.

it was best to drop the matter bcforo any one
became entangled financially. Captain Craw
ford and Brooks were informed ot the state
of affuirs and took tbo miduiuht train Satur
day uipbt for Joplin , Mo. , where they have
been offered a good bonus to put In the team.
Captain Crawford , however , atated before he
left that lie was much pleased with Ne
braska City , and if the citizens would ralso a
purse of $200 and a monthly guarantee of
$151) ) that ho would bring the team here yet.
Several of the boya , with this idea In view ,
nro out today trying to raise the money , and
have been , so wo are informed , mectlnu with
very good success. Nebraska City is entitled
to a good team and should certainly have ono.
