PLATTSMOUTH
WINS FROM THE
SPRINGFIELD NINE
Locals Have Long End of 11 to 6
Sccre Plattsmouth Has One
Bad Inning.
From Monday's Daily
The Plattsmouth baseball team
yesterday afternoon was the victor
in a long drawn out battle at Spring
field up amid the cornfields of Sarpy
county and judging from the action
of some of the "sports" of the vil
lage, the "corn" was not all in the
fields. The locals had little difficulty
in winning and the score at the end
was 11 to 6. although it should have
been 11 to 1. The Springfield team
secured five of their runs in the sixth
inning and which were gifts from
the Plattsmouth team, playing a
very demoralized quality of ball.
The game was witnessed by a very
good sized crowd considering the
fact that Springfield is just recover
ing from their three day picnic that
has taken up the greatest amount
of the time of the residents and caus
ed many of them to rest on Sunday.
The Plattsmouth team snagged one
in the second frame of the game
when Newman scored on a hit thru
third, a sacrifice and a safety.
The game looked good for a small
score until in the fifth when the lo
cals begin to unload their heavy ar
tillery on the ball artists of Bill
Kieck's town and soon made the
score assume a more healthy hue. Ed
Gradoville opened the inning with a
hard rap to center and William Pat-
rick O'Donnell, the tall fisherman
from the right garden, also planted
one out in the oats stubble which
brought Ed to third and when Mc
Carty hit thru short Gradoville
scored and O'Donnell progressed over
i to third. William Harvey Mason
elrew a walk from Polenz. the Ta
pillion lad who was trying to check
, the onslaught and O'Donnell glided
over the rubber with the much need-1
ed run. Swanson, the mound
artist i
of Plattsmouth, was hit in the
by one of Polenz's wild pitches

sent to first by the umpire.
Pete
Ilerold hit through the pitcher's Lox
for a safety and on which Mason
scored. This ended the "agony for
this period of the game.

gave the ipringtieiu man tne tiene-;

The sixth inning was the dark!
oie for Plattsmouth and while there
vas no reason ior it tne ioca:s were
badly Mown up in this one stanza
and allowed five runs to be made
and fully that many errors to be
checked up. The Sarpy lads, realiz
ing the fact that just to hit the ball
was the pane as getting en safely,
made good use of the willow. How
ever, the inninsr was finally closed
and left the Sarpy county team lead
ing the score 6 to 4.
In the seventh the Plattsmouth
team came back strong and tied up
the rcore. McCarty was passed by
Polenz and was advanced when Ma
son hit safely to center field. Swan
son hit through shortstop for two
sacks and registered McCarty, Ma
son reaching third, and when Her
old hit to center. Mason scored on

was not to be stopped. Hans New
