LOCALS WIN THE THIRD GAME OF A FAST SERIES Vinton Express Team of Omaha is Trimmed Up by a Score of 5 to 1 Here Yesterday. From Monday's Dally. Yesterday afternoon the well known Vinton Express ball team, hailing from that portion of Omaha made famous for its ball park, jour neyed down to mix it up on the local lot and as the result of the meeting with the Merchants of this city, the local ball tossers were the winners by the store of 5 to 1. Right away in the opening stanza of the sporting event, the visitors started cutting up and McCulloch, the first man up was safe when he binged a nasty one to third that "Hons" failed to connect with, and the result was that the Oraahan was safe at the keystone station and ad vanced when Baker registered a safe hit off one of Mason's slants and ad vanced to third while Schwer was striking out. Emkey, the husky backstop of the visitors, drove one in the direction of the second bag that Mason attempted to snag and the result was an error that allowed Mc Culloch to score. This was the only tally of the game as far as the Ex press boys were concerned and al though they were threatening in the third and fifth innings they were unable to get far. In the third inning. Garvey, who had been hit freely, as well as show ing signs of a blow-up, was relieved, and Rocheford substituted, and he worked very effectively the rest of the game. In the sixth, the visitors had a general shake up and the changes made strengthened the defensive work of the team to a great extent. Garvey during his three innings was nicked for eight hits, gave two walks and had only one strikeout. Roche ford faired better however, as he was nicked for only two hits, struck out three and gave one walk. For the local team the opener saw two runs placed to the credit of the home guard. Herold lifted a foul to Wages at third while O'Donnell se cured a scratch hit to second and traveled around to third and scored when Garvey let loose of a wild one. Newman rapped a clean hit to center field and was followed by Shepherd with a safety that scored Newman. McCarthy hit into a double at third. Shepherd being thrown out at sec ind and Joe at first. In the second round the locals pro ceeded to put the game on velvet as far as scores were concerned. Gro- meter was retired on a strikeout. Burns drove a clean one "to center and later scored on a wild heave of Garvey toward the home plate. Wink Spreacher was walked and advanced when Mason hit to second. Herold hit safe to right and scored Spreach er and Pete scored when two hit3 by O'Donnell and Newman to right opened the way for an easy tally. Mason in his six innings on the mound allowed one safe hit, struck out five and passed three and Joe Mc Carthy, who relieved him in the seventh struck out seven men in three innings and did not allow a hit or a walk. The summary of the games was as follows: Plattsmouth AB H PO A E Herold. 2b, 3b 4 10 2 0 O'Donnell, lb 4 2 6 0 0 Newman. 3b. 2b 4 3 3 4 3 Shepherd, c 4 1 13 1 0 McCarthy, If, p 4 12 0 0 Grometer, ss 3 0 110 Burns, rf 3 110 0 Spreacher, cf 2 0 10 0 Mason, p If 2 10 2 1 Totals 30 10 27 10 4 Vinton Express AB H PO A E McCulloch, lb 4 0 7 1 0 Eaker, ss 2 112 0 Bairres, ss 1 0 1 0 0 Schewer, 2b 3 0 4 4 0 Spencer, R., 2b 1 0 3 0 1 Emkey, c 3 0 5 0 0 Wages, 3b 4 0 2 3 0 Garvey, p, rf 4 0 0 2 0 McAuliff, If 3 0 0 0 0 Stacey, cf 2 0 10 0 ocheford, rf, p 3 0 0 0 0 Totals 30 1 24 12 0 ATTENDING STATE CONVENTION From Monday's Daily.

Governor Mc Kelvie today received a telegram from Dr. L. N. Kell, prison physi cian at Rawlins that Brown was re covered sufficiently to travel. The Siefken murder looms as the biggest charge against Brown, in case witnesses decide he is the man they saw fleeing from the scene of the shooting or lurking in the vicin ity just before the crime was com mitted.' It was also said at the police sta tion at Omaha last night that Brown is the man who held up an automo bile party of Loyal Cohn's near an exclusive West Farnum residence shortly before the Siefken slaying took place. Gus Hyers yesterday wired County Attorney Shotwell that the latter's wishes in the matter would be hon ored, but Shotwell decided that the better place for Brown to recover is the Lincoln penitentiary hospital.
