THE RED SOX II
E
Large Crowd Witnesess Defeat of
Alhambras of Omaha Sun
day Afternoon.
There was a large crowd as
sembled on Hit! ball grounds yes
terday afternoon to witness the
second game played by the Plalts
niouth Red Sox. A bunch of en
thusiastic spectators occupied the
amphitheater and cheered the lied
Sox to victory. The grounds were
in fair condition, but a little soft
from the copious rain of Friday
night, and the weather was ideal,
with no wind to interfere vvilfi the
delivery of the ball.
The Plattsmouth battery was
MrCauley in the box and llerold
behind the bat. The score at the
end of the ninth inning was (i to
5 in favor of the home team. Mc
Cauley pitched an excellent game,
fanning out twelve men of the
visiting team and letting them
have but one hit, while the Al
hambras' pitcher struck out but
seven of the Red Sox and let them
have live hits. To Mann is due
the credit of two two-base hits.
The Plattsmouth team clearly
outplayed the visitors. Huns were
made by Heal in the first and
seventh innings and by Wells, Mc
Cauley and Mason in the sixth
and by Hula in the eighth. The
visitors did not make a score until
the sixth inning, when four of
their five runs were made. The
Red Sox did not bat in the ninth
inning, their score already being
one in excess of the visiting team.
The line-up of the Red Sox yes
terday was as follows: Mc
Cauley, pitch; llerold, catch; Ault,
first base; Wells, shortstop; Kal
ina, second base; Heal, third base;
Hula, right field; Mann, center
field; Mason, left field. The game
scheduled for next Sunday after
noon will be the Red Sox against
the Hoctors of South Omaha.
Thieves Enter Beaumelster Home.
The home of Mrs. Heaumeister,
near the M. P. track, north of
the city, was entered between 1
and 2 p. in. Saturday and a silver
watch, silverware and a sealskin
purse stolen. The manner of
breaking into the home would
seem to indicate an expert at
house-breaking. A hole had
been drilled through the window
pane and a small wire inserted
and the window catch pulled out
and the lop sash lowered suf
ficiently lo admit a man's body.
As soon as the robbery was dis
covered the chief of police was
notified and went to the dwelling
and arrested a stranger found in
the vicinity. The man was held
until this morning, but no trace
of the missing silverware or
walrh could be found, and for
want of evidence he was dis
charged. White Plymouth Rock Eggs.

Water Giving Out.
Ciliens of llavelock are hav
ing a hard time to get water for
domestic purposes. Several wells
have been sunk by the city in an
ell'orf lo gel enough water to sup
ply the people from the municipal
plant, but none of the wells have
had a big enough (low to supply

town has been supplied from the
Kurlinglnn shops, but a few days
ago notice was given to I lie people
that the water is not fit for do
mestic use. Another well has
been sunk by (he I own and will be
given a lest in a few days. Lin
coln Journal.
Newcomers lo a city are always
interested in the water supply of
a town and its purity. Never in
the history' of Plaltsihofilh havi'
the people complained of not
having pure water. II is here in
abundance, and I hat is one great
reason why Hurlinglon employes
prefer Plaltsinoul.h as a residence
to llavelock, whose water is not
whal il should be.
General Strike On.
A special from Chicago, under
dale of June 1, says: The likeli
hood of a general strike on all
I rn n k railroads west of Chicago
loomed larger tonight, when it
was announced here that the
referendum vote of the shopmen
was overwhelmingly in favor of a
general strike to enforce the de
mands of the union freight handl
ers, who are now out. Five unions
employed in the shops and yards
of the roads, it was said tonight,
were ready to join in a general
strike movement lhat, would de
moralize traffic out of Chicago
and throughout Ihe west and
middle west. The decision of the
unions will not he officially known
for some time, as Ihe work of
counting the ballots and canvass
ing Ihe vole is a tedious job. The
switchmen did not vole on the
proposition, but. may join Ihe
movement if a general strike was
attempted.
It Is Captain Herold Now.
Pete llerold has been selected
as captain of Ihe "Red Sox,"
Platlsmouth'f crack base ball
nine, for the year 1.H2, and it is a
safe bet that Pete will have a
winning team. A belter selection
could not have been made, as
Pete's long experience on the dia
mond qualifies him for the posi
tion lo which he has been elected.
He is undoubtedly I lie right man
in the right place, lie has gone
about his duties in a business
like way, having announced three
practices each week, to take place
on Ihe ball grounds on Tuesday,
Thursday and Friday evenings.
The diamond is in llne'shape now,

VERY CONFUSING
Form Prepared for Applications
for Increase Under New Law
Misleading.
A special from Washington,
under date of June 1, will prob
ably prove of some benefit to the
veterans of the civil war: "In the
opinion of Representative Kiukaid
much confusion is likely to result
at the pension office because of
the form prepared by the bureau
for applications under the law of
May 11. The blank makes no
reference to the service, disability
under which many may wish to
file and its omission is mislead
ing. I'n loss applicants slate
specifically in their application
that they are tiling under the dis
ability clause where they wish to
do so great confusion will result.
The matter has come to the at
tention of many oilier members,
and they have prepared a blank
form of affidavit which I bey are
advising claimants to tile with
their applications where they
base their claim upon a service of
disability. The affidavit calls for
the certificate number, company
and regiment in which the soldier
served, the nature of his dis
ability, "incurred in the service
and line of duty." It declares
further that "by reason of such
disability the soldier is now un
able to perform manual labor and
lhat be makes affidavit to supple
ment bis application and makes
claims for Hie maximum pension
provided by the act of May 11,
101'J." An accompanying affidavit
from a physician who has exam
ined Ihe claimant is also suggest
ed. Mr. Kinkaid believes that if
this affidavit or a similar' one is
filed wilh Hie application il, will
save much confusion lhat is now
likely lo result under Ihe opera
I ion of I be new law,"
