THE RED SOX DEFEAT THE AR MOURS OF OMAHA A Very Spirited and Well Played Game, and a Large Crowd of Fans Present. From Tuesday's Danr. Before the largest crowd that ever attended a ball game in Plattsmouth, the Red Sox downed the Armours, by a 4 to 2 score.. It was a battle royal from start to finish, and only after playing the best ball they have put up in many a moon were the Hose able to win out. Yeast, the twirler se cured from Lincoln, was all to the good, holding the visitors to six scat tered hits, striking out seven men and having almost perfect control. Eddie Roben, the whirlwind little infielder, played the keystone sack as it has never been played here before, cutting off several clean hits. Floyd Rock well, the slugging outfielder, came through with two clean swats, both figuring in the run getting. Man for man the Armours were simply out classed and it was a deserving victory fur the Hose. The Armours opened the first in ning by securing a tally. Al Graves was safe when Rice fumbled his sharp grounder. Graves stole second and scored on Yost's single to right. The Hose came right back. -Deal and Par riott fanned the air, but "Rocky" sent a screaming double to center, going to third on Gurness' wild heave, and scored on Ryan's wild heave to first. The Packers scored again in the fifth, when Clements received a free pass to first, was sacrificed to second by Gurnes and scored on Collins' single to left. The real play came in the seventh. Craig drew a walk, went to second on Deal's sacrifice and scored on Rockwell's hit to center Rice smacked a hit to left and Roben drew a walk. Harold came through with the winning blow, a clean single over second; Roben was nipped at third, nding the inning. The Armours threatened in their last two attempts but Yeast had them in hand, at all times. Following is he score: RED SOX. s AB. H. O. A. E.

In one of the most one sided games f the year the Armours crushed the Red Sox by a 12 to 2 score Sunday The packers had their batting eye jrlued on the ball and drove Lefty Hirsch from the mound in 6 innings. Cost, Learner and Al Graves responded with doubles in the pinches and mis plays on the Sox part gave the pack ers the remainder of their runs. The Armours scored in the first stanza, Collins singled to left, stole second and third and scored on Corcoran's fly to left field. They came back in the fourth with four more, Rapp was Leaned by Hirsch; Clements was safe on an infield blow; Collins gingled to center, scoring Rapp; Learner sent Clement and Collins home with a dou hle down the left field line. Yost doubled to left scoring Learner. The fifth was again productive of a run for the mighty sluggers when four more runs were annexed by them as a result of the lambasting of Hirsch r-nd the general ragged game played I y the locals. Scores in the sixth and eighth enabled the visitors to pile up the score that swamped the locals who were lucky to get even two runs. The Sox tallied in the seventh on a hit by. Rice; a two bagger by Roben and these two were netted as the sum total of the Plattsmouth scores. The summary is as follows: RED SOX. AB H PO A E 1 0 0 3 2 3 4.2 1 0 0 0 2 3 0 Eeal, cf.

The empt pocketbook be longing to Conn was found at the Burlington station, but without the money. It was thought at first that the man had made his escape on the Schuyler train, but it was searched at Oreapolis without success. The theft of the pocketbook led to a number of very sensational reports as to how the affair occurred, but it was merely the case of a real smooth pickpocket getting away with the gods, and for tunately, was the only incident of the kind reported, which isvery lucky, con sidering the large crowd in attend ance at the Home Coming.
