Here From Nebraska City.
From Tuesday's Daily.
John Mattes, jr., and Gust
Yoimgr, two of the best fellows in
the world, from Nebraska City,
were in the city yesterday for a
few minutes visiting" with their
friends while en route homo from
Wahoo. Mr. Mattes is a candi
date for the democratic nomina
tion for state senator for Cass
and Otoe counties and has met
with much encouragement, in his
canvass, as almost anyone know
ing him recognizes his ability for
the position he is seeking. Mr.
Young is a very genial gentleman
and to meet him is a great pleas
ure at all times. While in the
city Mr. Mattes stopped at the
Journal office for a short visit.
"RED SOX"
AND NOT THE
BOOSTERS"
They Will Arrive in a Few Days
and Then Watch Out for
Better Results.
The base ball team will soon be
able to dazzle the eyes of the
natives by appearing in their
handsome new uniforms, which
they have ordered, and which will
be here in a few days and will be
worn by the boys for the first
time next Sunday. In honor of
the occasion it is fitting that the
day be observed as ladies' day,
when the handsome warriors of
the diamond may please the eyes
of the ladies. The new uniforms
will be gray in color, with a small
pencil stripe of blue running
through the cloth, and this will
be set off nicely by the trimming
of red.
The new uniforms are not to be
the only change made in the ap-
pearanee oi ine ieam, as mej un
to drop the name by which they
have been known for the past few
seasons, that of '"The Boosters,"
and will hereafter be "The Red
Sox," which was the title by
which the ball team was known
when the ball park was first
erected in this city.
The boys have succeeded in
raising quite a neat sum from
the last two games, to which they
:old tickets, and the money.
above the expenses of the Omaha
players, will be devoted to paying
for the new uniforms. The team
should receive a generous
patronage from the base ball
loving public of the city in their
efforts to place a winning team
here and for their enterprise in
securing fitting uniforms in
which to appear on the diamond.
It is not as yet definitely deter
mined who will be the opponents
of the Red Sox on the coming
Sunday, but efforts are being
made to secure the Brodogaard
Crowns, who have played here
before and are a fast bunch of
boys.
