Wxt $h rth J THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., JUNE 2, 1916. No. 40 i LOCALS MAKE FAINT SHOWING AGAINST LINCOLN The North Platto ball team did not make much of a showing yesterday afternoon when, pitted against tho Lincoln team of tho Western League, the scoro standing fourteen to noth ing. Tho first three Innings started off well, neither team scoring, but after that tho Links got to Androws, who occupied tho box for tho locals, and during tho game touched htm up for eighteen safotlcs. After tho fourth Inning, when tho Links put three men across, tho local flayers seemed to lose heart, and did not play with their accustomed ginger, and made sovoral errors that brought cries of derision from tho crowd. Tho Bhowlng mado by North Platte was hardly as good as expected. Few expected them to scoro, but It was generally expected 'that tho Links would not bo allowed to romp aroand tho diamond so frequently or so play fully. Howevor there are six men on tho -Lincoln team ( who are hitting a .300 or bettor gait, which Is evidence that thoy are heavy flitters even when up against the best Western League pitchers. In yestorday's game thoy seemed to place their hit Just where they wanted them to fall.' It was not much of a game, It Is true, but it gave several hundred fans an opportunity to seo Western League ball as it is played. : :o: : .
