Somewhat "Yellow."
The came of ball Tuesday after
noon between the Union Pacific
and Columbus teams was a some
what yellow" exhibition, and the
term was particularly applicable to
the visitors. Of the six runs made
by the latter, but one was earned,
and of the seventeen rutiB made by
the home team four were earned.
The Columbus team scared twicj
in the first inning and four times in
the sixth, while the Union Pacifies
made three runs in the second Inn
ing, ten in the third, three in the
in the seventh and one in the
eighth.
Mercer occupied the box for the
home team and held the visitors
down to six hits. Mullen made his
first appearance on the local field,
playing first in a very acceptable
manner.
The visitors felt pretty blue over
their dcicat. Having been so mer
cilessly beaten at Kearney and
Grand Island they had hoped to
win here, but were forced to return
home in sackcloth and ashes.
Sixteen to Nothing.
That was the ucorc at Kearney
Wednesday and it was the Union
Pacific team that failed to advance
a man farther than third base,
The U. P's. were up against a
team that played almost errorless
ball, and up against late that is, it
unusual tumbles, wild throws and
other rank errors can be called fate.
The Union Pacific never played
with such lack of 'ginger"; it was
an off day for them, and almost any
team could have defeated them.
On the other hand Kearney played
an unusually brilliant game; the
Vb - 7 'if fe credited to
Gff&ucy .;tL i m ported from
Grand Island for the occasion, but
they were not costly, Kearney
took fifteen hita-off Elliott, while
Salene was touched. forJiut six. It
was a lead-sinker for the opening
game ot what promised to be a
victorious, tour, but..,wliile it was
disheartening to the players it
served to spur them on to better
efforts for future games. It may
b added parenthetically that Man
agers Graves and Richards walked
up the main street of Kearney
after the game; they may have felt
like sneaking up the alleys but they
didn't.

There's Nothing in it.
The Grand Island Independent ol
Tunc 12th Bays: Some weeks ago
considerable gossip was being in
dulged in along the U. P. line in
Nebraska over the removal ol the
division points and the lengthening
of the divisions. The Grand Island
freight division was to move to
Kearney, as also the North Platte
freight and pasBcngcr division,
another freight and passenger
divisions to be made at Sidney.
The talk la supposed to have
cminatcd from the action of eastern
roads in adopting longer divisions.
At North Platte, these rumors were
given somewhat greater credence
by the fact that the force of men
were reduced at the shops.
In Grand Island no credence wan
ever given to the story, and little
attention was paid to it. At North
Plattf, it is reported, even the
building of some houses was
stppped owing to the reports and
it is stated that there was some
anxiety. While the talc was never
seriously considered here it might
not be amiss to let the people know
of some information which comes
from most reliable sources.
"There never has been any
thought 'about ' removing the
freight division from Grand Inland
or of making any changes in the
passenger division. There was
some talk of abandoning the divi
sion at Rawlins. Wyo. but even
this has now been abandoned and
all the divisions will be left as they
are. As to Nebraska, the com
pany has shops and large yards at
Grand Island and North Platte, as
also at Cheyenne, Wyo. and it
would be folly to think of making
an entirely new arrangement. As
to Grond Island, there are special
reason why no change is eycr likely
to be made.
"It is true that some eastern
roadB have been adopting the sys
tem of longer divisions. But it is
to be remembered, that they had
considerably shorter divisions than
the U. P. ever had. The distance
from Grand Island to Omaha is jnst
the proper distance for a freight
division while the passenger divi
sion to North Platte is also suit
'No, on the contrary, the Union
Pacific contemplates some improve
ments in Grand Island. Thev will
be made this fall. No, I am not at
liberty to say what they are."
