Home Team Plays Excellent Ball
in Yesterday's Game.
A nice crowd last evening saw the
ball game between the Lincoln Star
base ball team and the local team.
Owing to an accident, the visitors did
tot get here until the evening train
from the west and the game was call
ed at 5:30 p. m. Owing to the un
certainty of the game being played
and the late hour at which It was
called the attendance was not what
it would have been otherwise. There
nas quite a sprinkling of people In
the open lots on the hill above the
park who should have been Inside
the fence and who should have been
willing to part with their quarter to
eee the locals exhibit instead of look
ing on free.
The game Iteslf was a fine one
one which the spectators pronounce
as good as any seen on the grounds
this season. The locals played fine
and winning ball and Bardwell cov
ered himself w ith glory as he -pitch
ed superbly ball and kept the few
hits of the visitors well scattered.
The locals put a patched up team in
the field, the line up Including Mann
who caught. Cecil Smith at Third
base, Herold at short In place of
Droego who was unavoidably absent,
and Ault at first In place of McCau
ley. All these men did well. Mann
caught a good game and Is getting
Ms batting eye back. Ault at first
was a most pleasant surprise and
fielded his position in good shape,
lie also did some handy stick work
which the crowd appreciated. This
lad seems a comer and the Indications
are that ho will make one of the
winning men on the team. The only
drawback to him Is his slowness on
his feet but It Is believed practice
and steady work will help this. Fitz
gerald played a fine, clean game at
second and did some good batting
which helped out a whole lot In the
first Inning when the run which won
the game was scored. Smith at third
fielded In good shape but his batting
eye Is still off. However, he Is a
ball player and will come around in
time. Herrold at short played a fine
game as he always does and was also
a clever hitter. The outfield did ex
cellently. Ileal did not get to the
grounds In time for the first inning
but when he did ho filled center field
In good shape. Mason and Kelly In
left and right played well and got
everything In their territory. The
boys also hit well, Mason getting a
single which led to the one run of
the game. AH told the locals played
In good shape and deserved their
victory.
For the Lincoln team so much can
rot be said. They did not field near
ly so cleanly as the locals and it
was the errors which they niado that
contributed much to the victory of
riattsmouth. Their pitcher tossed
good ball except the first Inning
when PlnttRmouth got to htm for the
one run which ended the fest. The
visitors found Bardwell an enigma
and their heavy hitters were power
less before his curves. He had them
guessing and throughout the game
I'layod with the greatest confidence
Several times his cool, headwork
saved the team from defeat and ho
pulled out of several holes. On the
whole, the locals have a find In this
man and he deserves the credit he Is
given.
The Lincoln Star team claims to
have played forty-three games alto
gether and to have won forty-one of
them. The game which the boys
snatched from them Sunday was the
second they have loBt and they were
some wrot up over It. They tried
their best to win and played good
ball. Four of the sub players on the
Lincoln Western league team were
In the line up, President Don C. Dcs
pain having loaned them to the Star
team for a tryout. This didn't hurt
the locals a little bit though and they
went through thein In hollow form
The same team closed a contract for
a game here July 4th, when they hope
to Bquare matters.
The one run which settled the
game was made by Mason who sin
gled i nthe first, stole second, was
sacrificed to third and scored on Fltz
gerald's hit to center. This was the
only run to be garnered during the
process. The score was:

wns a tall, athletic, ruddy complexion
ed. youngish man. who seemed to be
the leoder of the trio. They gazed at
the sleeping Carson nnd Craighead as
If taking stock dispassionately of re
turned estrnys in the form of dogs or
horses.
"Well. Mr. Craighead." ald the tall
one in accents distinctly British. "I'm
no end sorry to bud you out of bounds
again, sir:"
Instantij wide awake, Craighead as
sumed au attitude of Jocular famil
iarity. "It agonizes me to have given you a
moment's pain, Deunis," said he, "but
believe me I should have been howling
like a banshee had 1 stayed longer In
the storm center of Mr. Waddy's pneu
matic slumbering."
From his evident Irritation at the
mention of his "pneumatic slumber
ing" Carson guessed that the shorter
of Dennis" companions was Mr. Wad
tly. He was V.otuy and slrontfln
build it ud bearded with gray excre
scenses th.it grew forward and up
ward from ail points, as if eyebrows,
whiskers and mustache had been train
ed through a knothole for a long time
and then suddenly cropped off and left
standing.
He was pulling audibly. This la
bored breathing coupled with his ap
pearance of having dressed hurriedly
gave him the general effect of one who
bus leaped suddenly from bed and
ceased something at high speed. He
had on a topcoat over shirt and trou
sers. On one foot was an arctic over
shoe, on the other a Wellington boot,
"Mr. Craighead," said he, as if care
fully choosing terms of Bcathlng re
buke, "I've seen all kinds, and you do
beat-the-Dutchl"
"Thank you." said Mr. Craighead,
bowing. "Pardon me, Dennis, have
you not met my friend, Mr. Carson,

"Tonic. Mr. Craighead, if I may cor

"Of course. Dennis." protested Craig

bers are less sonorous than Mr. Wad
dy's. Mr. Carson. I"
"Attendant." suggested Mr. O'Grady
softly. "Mr. Evans is the attendant of
Mr. Wjile. No doubt an error on Mr.
Craighead's part. Mr. Wylie. but we
understand perfectly that you are the
Mr. Wylie who arrived very ill last
night, sir, and who departed before
we could give him the examination
and the formal admission. Mr. Evans
will attend upon you. Mr. Wylie, and
we hope, sir, to have you feeling much
better iu a few days, sir!"
"You are greatly mistaken!" exclaim
ed Theodore. "I don't belong here at

"Quite right, sir!" responded Mr.
O'Grady heartily. "Quite right! I am
glad that you are already able to see.
sir, that you belong with Mr. Evans

"But I am not Mr. Wylie." iuter
posed Carsou.
"Pardou me." softly suggested Mr.

"I dropped Into this garden from an
aeronat." reiterated Theodore.
"And swallowed your parachute?"
interpolated O'Grady.
"No!" cried Carson, producing It
from under the bench. "Here It is."
"I have no knowledge of machinery,"

here of so common a contrivance does
not at all prove the absence of Mr.

sir. The Siadery Institute lose uu
patients. You are Mr. Wylie or Mr.
Wylie is lost; hence, sir. vou are Mr.
Wylie."
Mr. Evans ushered young Mr. Car
son into room 34 as if conferring a
great favor In thus naming him Wylie
and arresting bira Instauter under t lie
new cognomen.
"1 am not Mr. Wylie." reiterated
Carson. "1 am Theodore Carson, as I
aald. and I"-
"Thls matter of uames is so compli
cated." quavered Mr. Evans, pushing
up his cuffs as if about to attempt
some feat of physical prowess. "No
mau drawlu' my pay c'n be expected,
to work It out 1 git awful small
wages, Mr. Wylie. My duties Is sim
ple. You git your tonic an' treat
ments reg'lar an' keep hours, a w hole
lot of gentlemen comes here under spe
cial names."
Mr. Craighead rapped and entered.
"1 quite agree with the remarks of
my querulous friend. Mr. Evans." said
Mr. Craighead. "Your position. Mr.
Carson. Is an equivocal one. The
question Is. what's your field?"
"It is aerouautics." replied Theodore.
"I have devised the first effective
neronef. I"
"Very Interesting." returned Craig
head. "1 have made that a specialty,
f know the defects of the present day
aeronefs. and I understand the failure
of the gas supported aerostats, except
as toys for us parasitic capitalists. But
to the point In controversy. Are you
the Fulton of the empyrean or the
Edison of the hot air? Mr. Evans'
porcine tonality has expressed the
only conclusion open to him to accept
the Wylie theory as a working hypoth
esis nnd to work It at the regular per
diem. Dost fuller me?"
"I suppose that tills Wylie must turn
up sooner or later." mused Theodore.
"But why should 1 take treatment?
What do they do to you?" persisted
Theodore.
"They give you dope: they ft'od you
for n few days on bran mash; they
shoot you twice a day; they give you
a little bottle to assuage what they
call your thirst the first night or so,
though why they cnli that a thirst
which Is only a cerebrospinal tendency
entirely unconnected with Irrigation do
poneth saith not. Let's to breakfast."
Breakfast! Here was something to
be "understanded of the people." Car
son was famishing. And before he re
turned to his room he learned that he
was an Inmate of the Slattery Insti
tute For Drunkards.
