This ended the game us fains seoie was concerned. I )oane played desperately from this on and once or twice it looked as if each side was anxious for a slugg ing match. Much ciedil is due to Captains Mains and John ston for piompt action at the light time. When time was called Doane had the hall in the center of the field. Mains, the big natuied fellow that he is, took his defeat giacefully and ate supper with the victorious team, after which he spent an hour or two 111 pleasant conversation with the "old gold" backers. The joyful news had been sent to Lincoln by Manager Chandler and a huge ciowd with the band and other noisy instiumenls assembled at the depot to welcome home the champions.
