The Red Sox Win Another Results in Another Victory for the Red Sox Large Crowd of Fans Take It In. In the ball game Sunday, between the National Cash Register Com pany, of Omaha, and the Red Sox, of Plattsmouth, with the visitors tak ing the iniatory inning, they reaped nothing. Still they knew the game and were in a measure good players. Etter, the second baseman, secured a good single, and made second on the grounder of Mclvor. but died there, while Mclvor was unable to reach first. Dudwig made a single, and Feeney grounded out. With the Sox, Beal was out on a grounder, Sals berg got to first, and on a foul by Simpson both went over. Jungmas got a good swipe, but the fly was appropriated by Jeff, while Hay and Pete, saw to it that Basspalle and Pates did not have to run for first. Herold was hit and took a base, but died on second. Hay got a single, and Mason was hit, Edwards got hit and the bases were full. Grassman got a good hit, and on a fumble by Basspalle, the visitors third base. Hay, Mason and Edwards all came in. Grassman landing on third, Pois all got a single and Grassman got home, while Poisall was out trying to get second. Runs four for the Red Sox and nothing for the visitors. While this looked bad for the vis itors they were playing good ball, and were all satisfied with the de cisions of Umpire J. M. Cunningham, ham. The third. Harris. Hoffman and Etter all struck out, while with the home boys Herold and Simpson struck out. Hay had a single, and Mason struck out. The fourth for the visitors was Mclvor out on first, with a hit for Ludwig and on which he finally got to second, but Feeney and Jungmas were cut on Jungmas' fly. The game was filled with good feeling, and being as the weather was so warm it was necessary for Hay to do a good deal of fanning and he was willing. Hoffman, the pitcher for the Register Company, was a sport, too. and did his share, but in the eighth it looked as though the visitors would get a run. when Pates, 'the catcher for the Register people. got a hit which netted him third. but alas, he died there. In the lat ter part of the eighth, Mason added another run and the people were on their way home. Pates was an all- right catcher, and all did well, but were a little light for the home boys, but barring the four runs in the second, would have been a good game of ball. Marion Duxbury departed yester day morning for St. Joseph, Mo., where he will visit for a time with his father, Frank Duxbury, formerly of this place, and then will go to Albany and Stanbury, where he also has relatives, and where he will put in some time visiting and spending his vacation from his labors at the Soennichsen store.
