PRICE 3 CENTS i H fm r V LOSE THE SECOND Leaguers Strike Their Gait and Defeat the Varsity Team. Yesterday the Omaha leaguers at toned for their showing of th day be fore, by defeatlrig tho University team by a score of 10 to 4. The experlenc" received from the drubbing that they received must have held them in good stead, as they certainly played the game yesterday as professionals might be expected to play It. Our team did not do badly by any means, as the pro portion of errors was not large, yet there was a noticeable falling off in team work, and some of the individual play ere did not keep up the pace that thoy started out with yesterday. But such things are bound to happen In baseball, and in tho account of the s rnrnn fh "fa" nro mit nf n1nrr Oraaha played league ball. They had to fight for the game and were forced ls i-lmr flinlf Hinlf Our fnnm nlnvnrl a good steady game, such as will place it a winner among other college teams, and at times brilliant pieces of play ing were consummated. The loys have speed and they all get into the game. Yesterday they were outclassed by a bunch of bronzed and hardened men, whose home is on the diamond From the point of view of a non-interested spectator the game was much more satisfactory than the one of the day before. The story of the game is an Interesting one, and tho sensational parts could not fall to leave an Impression. At the start things broke well for the Varsity boys, as they wero ahead up to tho fifth inning, when Henderson went In and showed himself to bo a bad genius for Capt. Townsend's colts, lie was in fine fettle and was exceed ingly parsimonious in allowing hits as he absolutely refused to allow a single one. Bender was obliged, however, to stop ono of his swift ones with the mid dle of his back and was Urns allowed to pass to first without being molested. The day before such an action on the part of any of the Omaha pitchers was regarded as a deliberate attempt to defraud ono of our men of a chance to fatten his battng average, but yes terday it was different.

Just to show the Omahogs that we were still in the game Steen "knocked a three bagger into left which Capt. Townsend duplicated, sending tho ball into centor garden. This was soon fol lowed by a liner by Fenlon netting two and tho last scores for Nebraska. The next Inning resulted in goose eggs for both sides.

For Nebraska Townsend, Steen and Fenlon did excellent work at tho bat. Williams mado some sensational stops at short. Today occurs the final game be tween these two teams.

Time 1 hour, 35 minutes. tho following to say in regard to th' coming contest: The girls' basket ball team will prob ably go to Nebraska. Early In the year Nebraska wanted to havo our girls go down to Lincoln and play them, but at that time President Northrop wns not In favor of tho idea. Since then, how ever, he has changed his mind. Yes terday ho received a letter from the director of tho Nebraska team, request ing that ho allow our girls to make the trip to Lincoln, and this morning he stated that ho would probably send a reply in the affirmative. If such is the case Nebraska' challenge will soon be forthcoming and as a contract can be easily arranged the gamo will be a certainty. DATE ANNOUNCED.
