Indians Took Both
Perhaps no two gauiss f oase oal
ver played in McCook or in this
section of the state attracted the ntten
tiou and attendance of the fans and the
people generally in the degree and
measure the Haskell Indians McCook
games Wednesday and Thursday of this
week did People were present at both
games fiom all over this section of the
state
Both games were strong samples of ilie
great national sport and went to the
Indians it is but fair and proper to state
on merit McCook put two strong teams
in the field on both days and they gave
a good account of themselves but the
superior team work skill and steadiness
and all around athletics of the Indians
in both games finally brought them out
victors when at the beginning of the
Karnes it looked as though the local team
might win out
WEDNESDAY
The line up for Wednesday was as
follows
INDIANS POSITIONS RlCOOK
Archiquette cf Hurney
Gravelle If Garvey
Gibbins frl s Magee
Weller W rf Lyman
Fallis lb Dennis

2jjA This game opened up with Pattou of
Arapahoe as umpire At the end of the
second inning the Indians took excep
tions to a decision othe umpire and
refused to continue tV ame At this
time the score stood 2 o in McCooks
favor After some wrangling the umpire
declared the game won by McCook and
the score was announced as 9 to o the
usual score in such cases
After some further discussion it was
determined to play another game and a
Mr Wagner of Arapahoe was substituted
for Mr Patton in the umpires box
The ensuing game was all the spectators
could desire McCook started out at a
winning gate making two scores in the
first and two in the the third but failed
to score again throughout the game
The Indians failed to score until the
fourth inning when they were credited
with two they made four in the sixth
and two each in the seventh and ninth
The score by innings was
Indians o 0020420 2 10
McCook 20200000 o 4
The disagreement was regretted by
both managements and could have been
averted but for the hasty action cf one
or two of the Indians but the game as
finally played was quite satisfactory all
around
Tomorrow is the Havelock game
McCook gave the Indians closer
work than they are accustomed to
Today the Indians will try issues with
Minden and after them at Franklin
No amateur club should feel aggrieved
to be defeated by the Indians who play
a professional game
Pitcher Jones work was rapid and
strong and commendable He was for
the most part well supported by Reed
and in the field

Not a Pipe Dream
The machine shop men are having not
a little fun over a small transaction of
last week in which Julian Andrew and
Esculapius Pauley were star actors It
doth appear that Esculapius was the
owner and operator of a high priced 35c
pipe of poor flue action and capacity and
interested Julian in enlarging the bore
which Julian elected to do and did
Between the opening and closing of the
incident however Esculapius who is
charged with feeling his alfalfa some
delivered himself of a line or two in his
best Roscoe Conkling style conveying
the idea that shopmen knew their posi
tion when they addressed professional
men Duly the pipe was delivered and
the assessed charges 50c were collected
The shop boys are a little at a loss to
understand upon what basis Julian es
timated the charges whether money
talks or quality comes high
