IHE BASE BALL GAME
OFJHE SEASOI1
The Boosters Were in Excellent
Condition and Played Greatest
Game of the Season.
The Plattsmouth Boosters put
up the strongest game of the sea
son at the city ball park yesterday
afternoon, at wjiich time they met
the J. S. Cross team of Omaha and
defeated them with ease by a
score of 7 to 0.
The home team played ball from
start, and at no time did the visit
ors have a chance to score on
good ball playing. A wild ball
thrown by Herold to McCauley at
first let the only man reach third
base, and it, looked as though the
error might let the visitors score
in this inning. With two men out
and the man on third, the batter
getting a light infield hit, but he
was caught at llrst and that saved
the day, killing the only chance
that the visitors ever had to score.
The J. S. Cross team has been
among the best in the big city and
have been playing good ball, and
it sure was quite a victory for the
boosters to shut them out. Mc
kay, the famous Indian pitcher
with the Boosters, kept the visit
ors down to but one, safe hit, and
played ball all the lime, and was
given excellent support by the en
tire team. McCauley was in his
old favorite place at, first, and. we
believe we are safe in saying that
he played the game of his life,
absolutely errorless. Mann was
at the receiving end of the dia
mond and nailed the steaming
balls from the Indian cannon like
a veteran; his usual baiting
record was very much in evidence
also, he lining out a safe two
bagger right at the lime it was
needed, letting in two men and
making the rounds of the "big
square" himself, and making
three of the seven runs made by
the Boosters.
L. Smith, at short, is one
of the new ones, and he was
there and just a little over, mak
ing one of the cleanest double
plays of the day. The veteran,
Pete Herold, was at his old favor
ite spot on third base, and every
one knows how well he covers this j
position. C. Smith, one of the
old-lime lied Sox good ones, was
right at home at second, nailing
every possible chance that came
his way. This" is the manner in
which the infield was covered, and
with Heal, Mason and Finder in
the outer gardens, you can bet the j
Mrs. Ratcliffe Dead.
Jesse Perry lveeiud a card this
morning from ltev. Y. T. HatclilT
of Beaver Crossing. Neb., inform
ing him of the death of Mrs. Rat
lin" at 5 p. m. Saturday. Inter

home at Cambria, Iowa. Mrs. llat-
clitV had many firends in this city,
who will mourn her demise. Rev.

I S DROWNED
NEAR CEDAR CREEK
Charles Steinbrunner of Cedar
Creek Drowned in Platte River
Saturday Night.
Charles Steinbrunner, familiar
ly known as "Butch," was drown
ed in the Plat to river, directly
north of Cedar Creek, Saturday-
evening. He was last seen alive
Saturday, when he started to the
river to look at his tlsh lines, and.
when he did not appear Sunday
search was made for the missing
man. His clothing was found on
the river bank, and his dog was
lying on the clothing, but nothing
could be found of "Butch."
The citizens made search up
and down the river and concluded
that he had been drowned. Dyna
mite was exploded along the river
with the hope of bringing his body
to the surface, but, of no avail
Watchers were stationed along
the shore last night and thi
morning, and at D:20 this morn
ing the body arose to the surface
and was immediately brought to
shore and the coroner notified.
Charles Steinbrunner had re
sided at Cedar Creek for the past
twenty years and had worked most
of the lime for William Schneider
at the elevator, and when not en
gaged at this, devoted his lime to
fishing. He was a member of the
M. W. A., but had no relatives in
Ibis county or elsewhere that, are
known. He was about 50 years of
age.

WARNINGS FOR THE
FOURTH OF JULY.
e in-
line-up was almost perfect, as
much so as it is possible lo make
it. Beal covered center with his
usual ease and was always in the
way of every ball that came near
him, putting several men out on
lly balls. Mason was at his old
post in left field and the visitors
sohii learned that Ibis was a
dangerous place for the sky ball,;
and the same may be said ofl
Kinder in right field. In fact, none j
of the players ever played hetter
ball than yesterday, which
further demonstrates that they
have finally reached the pinnacle
in their lineup.
The Boosters are now in excel
lent shape to win the big end of
the games of the present season;
each man is sure in the position
to which he is best fitted for good
work. The team has been con
siderably strengthened by the
change in the line-up and with
the addition of the two Smiths
and Finder.
There will he two good games
on the Fourth of July that will be
very interesting, between the
home team and the big Shamrocks
of South Omaha. Make it a point
celebrate the Fourth in Paltts
moulh and see these two games.
