THE TEAM WITH
A
THEY CAME TO PLAY BALL A
FINE BUNCH OF AMERICANS.
CLEAN AND CLEVER.
THEY HAD THE WRONG DOPE
They Loved the Game and Were a
Good Natured Bunch and
Full of Hope.
From Monday's Daily.
Yes the Omaha Stags came, they
looked us over, tried to play ball,
but were not able to get but one
score. Kratt was signally iortunate
in that he had an opportunity to
look upon all four bases, this privi
lege was denied the remainder of the
Omaha's. Rut they were a nice lot
of voung men, full of life, full of
desire to play, they had the action,
but failed to produce the scores. We
had said when telling about what
the game was going to be, that thsy
were a "Team with a Reputation"
and the small boys kept challenging
our attention, to our own words all
auring the game. They do have a
reputation they obtained a portion of
here. There was a declamatory be
tween our pitcher and one of the fair
rooters of the Stags, in which the
best judge on oratorical contests
would have been unable to call a
decision. The first inning for the
visitors, and as to that matter the
first half dozen only three men saw-
first and one second, the seventh
Fratt made a run. and Farley (not
our George) saw first, in the eighth
while in the ninth Dyke made his
way to third, and looked towards
home, but nothing doing. In the
first with us there were five runs
rapped out by McCarthy, Turner.
Edwards. Herold and Gradoville. In
the third Edwards and Mason each
made a run, while in the sixth Grad
oville. Grassman and Poisall made
runs. Stimpson did not get there,
but sacrificed for the others and was
able to put out about a half dozen
of the visitors. Mason struck out
sixteen.
The result of the game was sum
med up in the following totals:
Stags 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1
Red Sox 5 0 2 0 0 3 0 0 0 10

and hay there was an extra heavy
set of work harness, worth about one
: hundred dollars. They were lost
, with the barn, estimated to be be-
tween seven and eight hundred dol
lars. A large crowd from town was
out, but there was no water near
enough to reach the fire, and the
structure burned to the ground.

the place for four hundred dollars
carried by a South Omaha Insurance
company. The adjusters are here" to

the loss.
