O’NEILL WALLOPS ROYAL
AND TWO UMPIRES
AT ROYAL SUNDAY
3>£e O’Neill champions, accompa
nied by a large number of super-fans
and admirers, journeyed down to Roy
al last Sunday over roads that were
none too good, and walloped the
Royal baseball aggregation and two
umpires by a score of 11 to 4, which
is to say that a pleasant time was
had by all. Joy was added to the oc
casion by the appearance in the box
for O’Neill in the ninth inning of
Fred Doyle, who can and has played
every other position on the diamond
well when not holding down the first
sack, which he plays the best. This
Jgst in in no manner intended as a
slam at Mr. Doyle’s abilities as a
pitcher, for not a hit was scored on
him and he only hit one batter. The
game was witnessed by an immense
throng, perched on the mountain
cragB which surrounded the diamond
at Dykesman’s park where the con
test took place.
The O’Neill team and managers
found the umpires already selected
on their arrival, but raised no ob
jections, and immediately on going
to bat set about the business of win
ning the game, with Emmet Doyle
making his usual home run in the
first inning. Kane, playing short for
O’Neill, hit a two-bagger in the
fourth and later scored, and then the
boys didn’t get any more until the
seventh, Royal in the meantime hav
ing accumulated one run in the sec
ond and two in the third. The boys
proceeded to salt the game away in
the seventh by going out and getting
nine more runs, batting through the
list and two on the second round in
doing so. Person, playing right field
for O’Neill, established an unique
record in baseball by scoring two runs
in this inning.
Pitcher Bid. Allen as usual covered
himself with glory in the game, hold
ing the Royal men to only four hits
and striking out ten men, in spite
pf the efforts of the strike and ball
umpire. Kane, playing short for
O’Neill, was one of the sensations of
the game, He accepted every chance
that came his way and also in five
times at bat made two three-base
hits, and two two-base hits. Reefe,
who opened the game for Royal, was
taken out of the box after the first
third of the seventh inning, being
replaced by V. Johnson. Twelve hits
were scored off Mr. Reefe in his
• 1-8 innings and five off Johnson in
2 2-3 innings. Immediately after the
conclusion of the seventh inning the
vast throng realized that something
was about to happen, when Cecil W.
Conklin donned a catcher’s mitt and
began warming up Fred Doyle. He
soon succumbed to Fred’s terrific fast
ones and was relieved by Emmet
Doyle, who with mitt reinforced with
six bits worth of beefsteak sucoess
fully resisted the bombardment until
the side went out to field in the last
half of the eighth. During this lat
ter period Fred kept himself "hot

up” by climbing the cliffs back of
first base, so that he was in perfect
condition when he traded places
with Allen in the last half of
the ninth and stepped into the pitch
er’s box for the first time. The
stunt was not because Allen needed
relieving, for he never does and the
game already was safely stowed
away, but that Fritz might realize
his ambition of having played every
position on the O’Neill team. It will
be several years before Mr. Doyle is
as good a pitcher as Mr. Allen, and
may be more, but he officiated ably
and with plaudits from the crowd, all
of whom were with him to the finish.

BRAKEMAN, IN AUTO, HEADS
OFF TRAIN MENACED
BY BROKEN BEAM
Fremont, Neb., Aug. 12.—Floyd
Bracken, Northwestern brakeman,
didn’t jerk the red cloth olf the din
ing room table, rush out and flag the
^Midnight Express’ from running
into a wreck like the woman in the
storybook, but he almost duplicated
her feat.
Bracken was standing in the Bruns
wick restaurant last night, opposite
the Northwestern depot, as passenger
train No. 3, bound for Norfolk, pulled
out. He saw a broken brake beam
hanging.
There was no time to lose. The
train was making speed. The broker
beam might cause a wreck.
Bracken's mind worked fast. He
remembered that the train made a
sweeping circle half around Fremont
in leaving the city. There might be
time before it reached the Broad
street road crossing, nearly three
miles out of town.
No. 3 is the passenger train that
reaches O’Neill at 11:30 p. m.

EMMET PICNIC.
The Catholic Picnic at Emmet on
August 5th, was a great success, The
two ball games brought together the
largest crowd ever seen at a ball
game in Emmet. Shields township
defeated Emmet second team 7 to 6.
The second game between the O’Neill
Champions and Emmet was a real
battle. O’Neill had its best team in
the field with Allen pitching. Emmet
had five of Stuart’s paid players and
, had Tomlinson of Lynch in the box.
O’Neill won 8 to 5.
The Catholic Ladies served supper
to 500 people. The O’Neill Concert
band entertained the crowd during
supper from six to eight with a
splendid assortment of up-to-date
music.
The big bowery seventy-four by
sixty-four was filled with a happy
crowd of dancers from eight until
two. The Hutton Orchestra of six
pieces, from Newport and Long Pine,
satisfied everyone with their ‘Select
ions.
The crowd was the largest ever seen
in Emmet. It was an orderly crowd
and there was not an accident. The
whole affair was a great success so
cially and financially. Those in charge
of the picnic have good reason to con
gratulate themselves and be proud of
their success as managers.

NO OUSTER PROCEEDINGS. #
(State Journal, Aug. 8.)
Attorney General Has Prepared None
Against City Attorney Boyle
of Norfolk.
Attorney General Spillman said
Friday he had not prepared papers
for tte purpose of filing ouster pro
ceedings against City Attorney Hugh
Boyle of Norfolk. He did not reply
when a iked if Governor McMullen
had directed him to file proceedings
of that nature.
“Complaints have been received at
this office charging Mr. Boyle with
defending persons charged with boot
legging,” said Mr. Spillman.
“Whether a city attorney can be sus
pended or removed from office on such
a charge is doubtful. The statute
does not specifically make it the duty
of a city official to enforce laws of
the state in every particular, includ
ing the liquor laws, but when any
official takes an office it is inferred
that he will stand for law enforce
ment. I would not advise city at
torneys to defend persons charged
with,bootlegging, though the statute
do^s not prohibit them from doing
so.”
TWO MEN BACK TO
THE REFORMATORY
(State Journal, August 8th.)
Paroles Revoked For Pair Who Stole
From Leather Store—Took More
Than $500 Worth of Goods.
Harvey Cromwell, twenty-one,
white, and Eddie Heubanks, thirty,
colored, were taken back to the re
formatory Friday afternoon follow
ing their arrest Thursday and the
confession of Cromwell that he had
taken more than $500 worth of leather
and similar supplies from the Ed
ward E. Gustin store, 934 P, where
he was employed. He was aided in
disposing of the loot by the colored
man, he said.
Both men had been paroled from
the reformatory and in another week

Cromwell would have been free. He
was paroled to Mr. Gustin who, gave
him a job in his store, although he
said he did it out of sympathy and
had no need for another man.
Cromwell said Friday that a third
man, who worked at Harpham leather
goods company participated in the
leather stealing scheme. He took
goods amounting to several hundred
dollars from that place. Mr. Gustin
recovered Thursday evening about
$500 from the loot taken by Crom
well.
Cromwell replied that he did not
get enough pay, when his employer
asked him why he had committed the
thefts. He was paroled several
months ago and since then had met
a girl of good family to whom he had
become engaged, taken to shows and
riding in rented cars. A slicker and
a valuable pocketbook which he had
stolen and presented to her were re
covered by police.
Heubanks acted as a go-between
in the leather theft scheme, Cromwell
said, and kept the loot at the barber
shop, 1019 P, where he worked; also
disposing of the contraband goods for
a share in the proceeds. He denied
Cromwell’s acusation.
The pair was apprehended when the
colored man sold fifty pounds of
leather, stolen from the Gustin 'shop
by Cromwell, for $16 to a shoemaker
Thursday afternoon. He declared
that he sold the leather at Crom
well’s orders and knew nothing about
its being stolen. The latter insisted
that Heubanks sold the goods without
his knowledge and that he had
merely given the package to the
colored man to hold for a while.
*
Heubanks was paroled three months,
ago, having been sent up from Lin
coln for burglarizing a store at Have
lock. He was picked up by police De
cember 1, 1923, and sentenced to one
to ten years. He had been in similar
trouble before. '
Cromwell was sent up for the same
offense from O’Neill, and served
twenty-five months prior to his parole
to Mr. Gustin. He had done time in
Kearney before that, he said. He
was reared at O’Neill. His home in
Lincoln was at Arlington.
