The Elopo Ghost!
This is a little message to the young lad
ies of Plattsmouth and vicinity who are look
ing forward to the happiness that some future
June may bring them:
Whether or not you have a cedar chest
which you are filling with the things that are
so dear to the heart of the housewife, wouldn't
it be a good idea to have a "hope chest" in the
form of a Savings Account at the First Nation
al Bank?
You can open an account with a single
dollar, add to it at any time and it will always
be ready when you need it.

COLORED PLAYERS
MEET WITH SEVEN

After That, Oh, My.
From Monday's Daily
Yesterday afternoon the fans of
the city enjoyed another of the fine
ball games that has marked the
work of the Plattsmouth team this
season an dthe result of the heady
playing of the locals, with a few
bobbles of the colored Brandise team
of Omaha resulted in the bacon re
posing with the Plattsmouth team by
the score of 7 to 2.
The visitors started the game with
snagging a Bcore off the "Q" team,
Lonney, third sacker of the visitors,
being safe on a bobble at short and
was followed by Hicks who hit safe
and Wilson was safe on a hit to
third base and the score of Lonney
registered at the plate. Again in the
fifth the visitors registered and
made the score 2 to 0 in their favor
and made the situation rather gloomy
for the local followers of the great
national pastime.
The Plattsmouth team did not
commence their offensive until the
sixth frame when they proceeded to
tie up the struggle and made the
colored brethren very much on the
defensive for the rest of the strug
gle. In the sixth O'Donnell open
ed with a hit and later was cauiht
at the home plate. Strong retired.
shortstop to first base and Mason
then gave renewed hopes of succphs
when he hit safely and was followed
by Newman who also hit with suc
cess and on the hit of McCarthy a
score was registered. Newman scored
on a hit of Pressley to the left gar
den that was muffed and allowed the
score to be all tied up.
In the lucky seventh inning the
locals proceeded to show the visitors
just what they were made of when
they hit very strong and forced Shel
ton from the box for the visitors. In
this inning Connors was out on a
roller to the pitcher's box and was
followed by O'Donnell, who doubled
and after that came Strong who was
awarded a base on bails and New
man then cleaned up the situation
with a two sacker that sealed up the
game and pronounced the fate of the
ebony hued pitcher. McCarty hit
safely, scoring Newman and Pressley
scored McCarty, racing across the
plate himself on the hit of Shiffer.
McCarty retired nine of the visi
tors on the strikeout route and thru
out the game the locals hit the Bran
dise pitcher freely, but his support
saved a great many scores in the
opening portion of the game.
