Another one of those holly con tested fourteeiuiuning games of ball was pulled oil' on the Platts mouht diamond yesterday after noon, at which time the boosters met the Alahambra team of Oma ha. The game was called at the usual time and started off at quite a lively pace. The Boosters made one score in the first inning and the visitors the single 0. The home team hit their unlucky streak in the second inning, and by errors almost too numerous to mention permitted the visitors to pass three men over the home plate, placing the game at a ;i to 1 stage. Here it remained for several rounds rounds until the Boosters succeeded in making two more runs, followed by one score on each side, I icing the game at i to i when they reached the ninth in ning. The single 0 was delivered lo both sides upon lo the last half of the fourteenth inning, when the home team passed another man around the diamond, with several more on bases, ending the long and hotly contested battle. MeKaig tossed the ball for the first eight innings, passing the unlucky stage for the home team, and while the visitors hit the ball pretty hard in this portion of the game he had perfect control and drove them all fairly over the plate. At the first of the ninth in ning Mason went into the box and finished with great credit, striking out more men than bold pitchers had done up to this stage of the game, and succeeded in shutting the visitors out for the remaining six innings. Mason was also given much better support in his closing half. MeKaig pitched a good game and the visitors were only entitled to one earned run, and all they would have had if the support had been up to the stand ard in the second inning. Herold was at his best behind the bat, the place he always plays about as perfect as any man seen on the Plattsmouth diamond for many years. When they pass Pete they. are sure some bad ball. Dotson as umpire has greatly im proved in his decisions, and while many plays were' very close, his decisions were very fair in most every instance, and the players and crowd had nothing whatever to find fault with. The features of the game was the excellent bat ting by the Boosters, most every man hitting the ball, and nearly every member of the team were on base at some stage of the game, but were rather unlucky in being permitted to die there. Another feature was the excellent fielding of Mason, and especially the long fly that he nailed with one hand. 1 lie Alhaniabra team is com posed of fine fellows and they played one of the finest games of the season, with none of the usual kicking and complaining on the decjsions of the umpire. Look for the big game next Sat urday, at which time the Kansas City Giants will be here. The hour of starling the game will be announced later.
