HIGHLAND PARK LAID LOW Manasres to Secure One Run While Nebraska Is Accumulating Six. DES MOINES, Ia., May 4. (Special Tele gram.) Nebraska, 6; Highland Park, 1. It was a great game of ball and Nebraska excelled at every oolnt. Thompson and Smith, the much-heralded battery for High land rara, were batted for ten sale nits. The one run credited to the home team was earned In the eighth on a safe hit and a long drive to centerfleld. Nebraska bunched Its hits In the fifth act and tallied five and the game. Letherby came up tlrst and hit honestly for one baa:. Cortelvou duplicated. Hood fanned for the first time. Captain Bell smashed the sphere for 11 rut base. Dusty lollowed, Gaines flew out to center, leaving Bell on third and Rhodes at second. Here Zoby Townsend picked out a promising bat and knocked the white thing over the fence. This gave him second ana scored ths other two. Townsend stole third and on Deputron's safe, cantered home. In the second Nebraska earned a run which totalled the six. From a spectator's point of view the play was interesting ana smart, uoubie plays and snappy ail-round work won for Ne braska the support of a great portion of ine siana. The game became rather dramatic when In the third Inning Doane, catcher, hurt his finger and waa forced to retire. Bender had missed the morning train out of Lin coln. Captain Bell's men, so far unscored upon, were fearful. Dusty Rhodes rumbled In from short, though, and placed the bars before his face, pluntcing his left hand deep In the mlt. Townsend left second for short. Bell played second. Deputron left, leth erby center. Thus It was the Nebraskans for three Innings shut out the famous Thompson and his men. Then unexpectedly Bender's head popped In at the ticket office and he was cheered to a standstill, rolled up his citizen's suit and waded Into the game. Bobby Oalnes tossed the bail to perfection, keeping his head at every point of the game. Dusty Rhodes accepted every chance without error at short and behind tho bat.
