FOR BALL
Five Games Played by
Plattsraouth Teams
Yesterday.
RED SOCKS TAKE THE
SECOND FROM C. B. &. Q.
Cigar Makers Defeat Bartenders In
Fast Double Header South
of Town.
(From Monday's Dally)
Again we tied a little can on the
Burlington boys from Omaha yester
day in a lop-sided game, as thy score
gyroscope was working on the Platts
mouth. side of the machinery only.and
only once did the railroaders cross the
plate. That was in the fourth when
Loving drove an easy one down to
Mann who fumbled. Way followed
with a ground to Bardwell who threw
to McCauley cutting him off and Lov
ing them made for third. Mack made
a good throw, in plenty of time to
annihilate his 0.ship, but Mann was
in bad a,nd again boosted Ids error av
erage by failing to connect, Butler
then landed one on the nose for a safe
hit to Mason's garden, but it passed
him and Loving went home with his
rabbit's foot. Of the four errors made
by the Sox yesterday two were in this
inning, and Mann was the whole works
with half of them, but there is a
reason for this the same as there is a
reason for Postum. Mann has a bum
mit, and should not be playing ball
at all until the injured member has
tirely healed, but Manager Brantner
being unable to secure a dobber who
fan properly handle the position
when Simon says "thumbs up" he
is forced to play the old scout, and
were it not for the crippled paw
Freddie would have Boscoe the snake
eater shinned a mile in a matter of
eatin' em up. Mann is a good little
player when, right, but a man can't
play the game with his teeth because he
aint built that way.
Both pitchers were in the game from
the stare Uut Bardwell had the better
of iiason, for the t'e, all the way
through. Bardwell allowed the railroad
ers but four scattered hits,and to his
strike out crcdirt yesterday he placed
eleviii. Mason also sawed eleven,

ciiitical times as did Barney,nnd
o n more than one occasion, when third
base held a Burlingtonite, Bardwell
shot the crooked kind and there was
nothing doing. The Sox touched Ma
son for eight hits of which Fitzgerald
made two, Beal one, McCauley one,
Mason three, (one a three bagger,)
Kelley one.
In the third inning Droegc allowed
White safe at first by fumbling the
ball, but soon redeemed himself with
the fans by puuling down w hat looked
like a hit to short left. Droegc made
a great catch and instead of Mr.
White scoring he took to the alfalfa
in the center.
The Sox opened the run-getting the
first inning. Beal and Droegc were
easy vistims, a strike out and a ground
to short to first retired them respect
ively. It looked like a fried one with
the sunny side up but Fitz hit safe
past third and stole second. Then Mc
Cauley drove one down in the diam
yJ and the railroaders played horse
allowing Fitz safe at third and before
they came out of it Mac was viewing
the scenery from the top of the second
bag. MftfSon brought them both in
with a tliree bagger and died on t hird
by Herold's pop-up to infield.
The only time the railroaders crossed
the rubber was in the first of the fourth
and had the Interstate Commerce
Commission made the proper in
vestigation of Freddie there would
have been a different rate card dished
up then. The opening paragraph
played this inning and the more we
play it the worse we hate it so we'll
forget it.
In the fifth White for the Q's made
a line drive to deep center and had it
got away it would have been going
yet, but Beal covered all kinds of
ground and made a catch especially
for the ladies, which also made the
fans sit up and take notice. This
catch was the feature of the game,
although Way for the Q's made a bril
liant stop of a high one at second
which gave him the glad hand.
In the Sixth the Sox again scored.
Mac died out to center and Mason hit
safe to center, st etching it into two
basts by the slowness of the switch
cimine in left, llerold went down to
on up to short. Mason took chaiic-
s at this stage of the game and at
tempted to steal third, and a wild.
af
throw put him there and then some
He scored. Rarnev again pawed the
dust and the Q's came in, turned around
and went right out again. This also
did they do the remainder of the
panic, und at no time were they even
dangerous, or even made a nuisc that
made the Sox afraid of the ears.
Again in the eighth the Sox made
two scores, and Mason was again
there with his stick, and another safe

j There was a little chewing over
I decisions, but only once or twice was
there any argument. One being w hen
a man was on first, no one out and the
thrid strike was dropped by the cat
cher and the batter beat it to first
who was safe for a minute. A little
reading up on the rules would have
averted this, as the batter is out by
virtue of a rule to do away with the
sure-thing double play wiiich could
easily be pulled off at most any old time
simply by dropping the ball at home
then shooting it to second and
doubling back to first.
There was not the ginger in the game
yesterday that there generally is as

contest.-havcbeencloseandlongdrawn

yesterday and the defeat of another
Omaha bunch means that there will
be something doing the next time
that we tangle up with a bunch from
the metropolis, as it has been given out
that the Sox will go down in defeat
at the hands of an Omaha outfit the
next game, if money can secure the
required calibre of ball tossers, so
cheer up, you fans, there'll be some
thing pulled off soon that has slickers
in it.

The glory of the game and the ex
citing naratives of Mc Daniels running,
Aniick's great field work and Weber's
ability with the glove will never die
in the city of Plattsmouth; yesterday
was the big event of the Cigar makers
Bar tenders game which residted in
a clean victory for the handlers of
thesmokeweed. The teams and root
ers left shortly after nine in the morn
ing in carry-alls, wagons, autos and
areoplanes, but on account of a mis
understanding the gtime was trans
ferred from the Ilirtz place to the John
Kaffenbcrgcr farm on Four Mile
Creek.
The boys lined up for their first game
about as soon as their forces had as
sembled, playing a game of five in
nings ending with a score of 14 to 4
with a strong tobacco flavor. In an
effort to redeem themselves, the white
aprons again assumed their swing
sticks, after they had partaken of their
repast and lambasted out a game that
nearly tied the stink-weed tribe. The
score in the second game was C to 5,
the line being somewhat changed from
that of first. The real feature of the
playing was McDaniels running, he
nearly made first on an easy three
bagger once and the crowd went wild
over his speed Wurl and Droegc
were the principal stick artists of the
game the latter dropping one in the
field that the pop dealers couldn't
find for a quarter of an hour The

P. S. Claus Speck held the position
of pig tail for the liquid throwers,
the active position of the bunch and
he got his mits on nearly every ball
pitched, for they went through the
man behind the bat like soup through
a tin horn.
The result of the double header is
the bar tenders are working about half
force today and if the present condi
tions continue, the city will have a
total cigar famine for the men are
so stiff today it is impossible for them
to walk down town.
Down on the big sand bar, the husky
West End Sluggers were also winners
with the horse hide, playing the Swifts
of South Omaha and defeating them
in a seven inning game by the score of
8 to 5. The Wintersteen hill team
made a trip to La Platte and brought
back a victory, winning the game by
a good margin.
Although it has been two weeks
since the last meeting of the city
council, the regular session does not
come until next Monday evening as
the meetings are held the second and
fourth Monday of each month, and so
it happens that it makes three weeks
between meetings this time.

FINAL MUSICAL SERVICE
AT THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Unsurpassable Program Chen by
Choir and Soloists Last
Evening.
(From Monday's Daily)
The grand finale of the special song
services at the Episcopal schurch was
reached last evening, when the last
musical program of the season was
given before a large congregation,
which was deeply impressed with the
excellency of the numbers given by the
well skilled musicians of the city un
der the diredction of 11. S. Austin
choirmaster of the church. The scr
vice of last evening was as a crowning
achievement of Mr. Austin's earnest
work with the church music for the
year. Music critics who were in at
tendance say that a better program
could noi be heard in any city church
than the one given last evening at
St. Lukes church and the music lovers
of the city regret to learn it was the
last monthly song service of the year
The first number, "Behold, the Day
Come by the entire choir well dis
played the excellent training of the
body, their expression and attack
seemed perfect. The effect of Mr
Austin's line bass voice in "If Got
so Clothe the Grass" was a source of
great enjoyment to the appreciative
audience. Following the spleitdi
soio oi .ir. Austin tne choir again
rendered a touching sacred number
"Conies at Times a Stillness as of
Even." "The Choirboy" by C. W
Bavlor was an excellent tenor number
brought out in a very effective man
ner, after which the audience and choir
joined in a hymn which was followei
by one of Teresa del Riegos composi
tions, "0 Loving Father," rendered
in a most capable manner by (den
cott. I lie evening s eillertory was
played by Mrs. Britt who presided at
the organ in her talented way. Mrs
Austin's fine alto voice brought out
her number "The Light of Day" to
perfection, leaving an impression with
the audience that will not be soon for-
gotten.
The evening's program closed with
the choir's fine number, "Thin God
of Old."
Objected Being Called a Vagrant.
John Kelly, a dauber of color on
smoke starks, was harpooned by big
Chief Rainey Saturday night and
chucked in the city bnstile until his
brain parlor was re-stored to its cquil-
ibrium after being badly upset by a
succession of drags from the little
brown jug. He wassufiicientlystarigh
tened out this morning to be brought
bcfe;rc hizzoner, where the charge of
being a drunken vagrant was made
against him. He didn't mind the first
part of the title that was thrust upon
him, but the name "vagrant" didn't
make a hit with him and he entered
his objection, "I may have taken a
drink or two, but I wasn't a vagrant,
I had money to come in on." "But
you haven't any to go out on." retorted
the judge, which was nearly t best might
of it for his stack invoiced at about
four bits. The judge imposed a fine
of five simoleons and incidentals
which he suspended for one hour
giving Johnnie time to hit the ties for
the next station. He started on the
double iiuick for Omaha where he
said he had a week's work to do,
painting a number of stacks, probably
of air castle's.
naming Arcs Arrive.
The new flaming arc lamps ordered
by the Nebraska Lighting Company
to be erect eel at the corner e)f Third
and Main, Sixth and Main and the
third bet ween' Fourth and Fifth
on Main street, have arrived in the
city and will be put in position as seion
as the company is able to get the men
to do tin' work. The lights are a little
different model than the one put up
by the concern as a sample. The y seem
to 1' a more compact instrument
not quite as long as the sample, al
though they give the same candle
power as the one which shown forth at
Sixth and Main streets a few weeks ago
The lamps have a door at the side of
the mechanism which makes them
much easier of access than the old
model, and are much neater in general
appearance.
Boys Threw Bricks.
A complaint was made in police
court this morning against Roy and
Ray Wainseott, charging them wiih
disturbing the peace by throwing
rocks, brickbats, cinders and either

the two little tots of George Witstruck

Fanger Gets Omaha Location.
M. Fanger has just completed ar-
arrangements for his new Omaha store
I which will be located between Fourteen
ami Fifteenth on Douglas street,

siory building and will occupy the first
two doors and possibly the third with
his general clothing stock which will

no piece goods. He has carpenters
at work on the building now, tearing
out the front and placing up to date
show windows in the structure at the
ceist go $1,101). As soon as the remodel
ing is computed, the local merchant
will occupy the building, dosing out
his stock here in the meantime. He
hopes to get leicated ami ready for
business by the inidille ef next month.
The building which Mr. Fanger has
leased is in fine location for the busint ss
which he intends to establish and thee

a big price for the lease but he considers
the location too valuable to give uj.

The little girl ran a rusty nail in her

serious results irom tne wound

WASHINGTON, Juno 5.-Conser.
vation legislation in the senate and the
postal savin) bank bill in the houso
constitute the features eif the congres
sional program for the cominc wnk
The general opinion is that both these
measures will be voted upon before
Saturday and that they will be sent
to conference.
Party lines will be dissolved and new
lines of insurgency developed in tho
senate in connection with the public
land withdrawal bill, which, it is ex
pected, will be taken up tomorrow.
Some eif the western members are
preparing to make vigorous assaults
upon the Roosevelt-Garfield adminis
tration of the public domain, especially
as regartls the blanket withdrawals
of large areas.
It is not improbable that this course
will lead to seune bitter criticism of the
more coiicservative policies of the
Taft-Ballinger administration of the
la ml laws.
The discussions will arise over tho
consithration e.f the administration
lull, which already has passed the house
to authorize the president to withdraw
public lands for the purpose of classi
fication, for the protection of water
power sites, for feirest reserves, and to
prevent mineral lands from falling
into the hands eif monopolies. Many
western members, notably Warren and
Clark of Wyoming, Heyburm and
Borah eif Idaho, Carter eif Montana
and Hughes of Colorado, cxpms fear
that the enactment of this measure
would mark the return of the policy
of "locking up" great tracts of land
so that the western states might be
deprived of the benefits that would
accrue to them from their development
With the unofficial announcement
that it is President Taft's intention
to accced to the wishes of Secretary
Ballinger and remove Frederick H
Newell, elireetor eif the reclamation
service, comes renewed muaterings
of dissatisfaction and protest from the
officials in that service. . It is not im
probable that when Mr. Newell's
sucee i-sor ta kc s charge eif thfc i mporta nt
department he will find it necessary
to build up a new force of engineers
Testimony pi veil before the Ballinger
rinehot committee disc U se d that the
determination e.f r'ecnatry Ballinger
to remove Director Newell was re
garded as so mai.iftstly unjust and
prejudicial to the hist inteiests of
the government that the engineers
were prepared to resign in a bexly the
moment thiir chief was displaced.
They r fiaii.ed from eking to onluy at
the earnest solicitation jf Director
Newell and Chief Enginneer Davis.
It is now elisdosed however, that a
large number of the engineers have
tendered their resignations und are
leaving the government service to,
engage in more lucrative work with
corporations.
