Substitute Jo Dolan for Mighty Casey, tha results Jo produced for those which canned the tragedy of Mudvllle and you have "The Story of Nina Dead Ducks," . or "Why Lincoln Didn't Win the Oame." It wsa tha last of the ninth with Lincoln 1, Omaha 0, two men on baaea, two out and two atrlkea on Dolan. Whang, the ball Ilea against left-center fence and two men "cross the plate with Dolan on third. .Mt moment which - -comes to few ball piayera ana or wmcn many a ball player haa dreamed In vain. , dreamed of lust auch conditions aa con fronted Mighty Casey and Joe Dolan and dreamed they met them ai did Dolan. ' There Isn't, another combination of clr cumatancea In the gamut of the game that could produce the aame tumultuous ap " plause and that man who cap coma up, to such. I rrlili and beat It may go a long ways In the other direction and. never get . loet from the fans who sat and watched t Mm pull off this Teat of wonder. But what n awful position for a man to get Into! And the predicament was all the worse for Dolan' because It was due to a throw of Ma that Lincoln had scored Its lone run In the fourth Inning. Waa Dolan Eqnal o Itt Here was a chance for Dolan to win back the game. Would he, could he, n It? The last time at bat he fanned oif, at least that -Is the way the umpire put It. Tills tlmo he got two strikes; would ha again fan and leave his team the vic tims of the arrogant Ducklings for the fourth successive time and hear the groans aid grojehes that certainly would have followed? , Yes, It was a moment of excruciating . suspense for Old Joe. , Helden had opened the Inning with an i out, Qonding followed with a hit barely ( part Fox into right, Autrey flew out and - Welch poked ' a safe one Into left field. The lingering hope of the wild fans had ' been given a terrible Jolt when Autrey .failed to connect safely and with, two men , out and even two on base and Dolan at , bat, the enthusiasm was not at fever j heat. Buck ' Franck, who was on the bench with his split finger, went out to r run for Oomllng on second. ' Dolan came to the plate with an air of confidence on J Ms face and amid the deafening cries of "Now, win the-game, Cnsey," 'Hit Vr out this time, Jody," "You can do it, old Hobs." "If you love us show us." It had been a great day for Clcotte, Lincoln's premier pitcher, who was Invlne Ible against the Rourkes In the first game ' of the series; ho was pitching ball calcu lated to win from any team and the two " safe hits In the final Inning had not seomsd to rattle him. t ' ' And Jody Does It. '"One ball," yelled Umpire Conahan, and tha fans took a bit of half-hltch In their hrVe. The next was a foul, the next was , called strike, though It waa a bit out and tha next Joe swung at In vain. The t tension, was . about to break Into gloom . when, whang, .Old Joe passed ,the. ball and it went, high, a.ad.faatr-tfr tha, left-center ' fence. . The fleet-footed Ketchem made a ' 'terrific effort to get It, but that was a ball of destiny not to be Impeded In Its progress Ijy any mere man. I ft, 5 franck and Welch didn't run, they sailed Into home and Old Joe' made his way to !' third, but he needn't have gone farther ',: than first for the game was, over. And the c and brought the pandemonium; the crowd ' Imply' went crazy. Lincoln ' had fought each. Inch t . ground so bitterly In order to win that the seal of the players broke , beyond all bounds and prompted them to yell from the' benoh at cheering fana In the ' 'seats. 11 ni Ciootte turned to see where the ball went and then turned the other way and , slowly walked out of the box, a fallen hero, a ahattered Idol. The team straggled oft the field like a lot of wet hens out of a rain .storm. Graham and Oondlna; Stara. ' iThe game from the first was a fine one, Litieoln playing errorless ball and Omaha ' hearly so. Each pitcher was terribly ef fective, Mall holding Lincoln down to four hits and Clcotte Omaha to three until this I fatal ninth when the homo team made - three more, Not till tha aeventh Inning did Omaha show any signs of scoring. Then ' It lost a golden chance. Autrey had opened the Inning with a two-bagger, but Clcotte - was too good to let It count Another hit - came In the eighth and nothing of It and .' tha ninth seemed to come aa tha culmina tion of a graduated scale up which the Rourkea were climbing with grim deter mlnatlonto win. Scarcely less sensational and far mors unnatural and 'difficult than Dolan's great . timely hit waa a catch mads by Graham, r Which saved another run for Lincoln or nt ' least a mighty good chance of one. It was fTom Sullivan's bat and tha ball had been ' knocked on a fly on tha short aide of aec- ond base about ten feet Dolan made a try for It. No one thought of Graham trying to get It. but with the crack of tha bat this . young cyclone atarted across the fleld like . a phantom and. to tha astonishment of all, grabbed tha ball barely off the ground, rob , blng Sullivan of what seemed a certain kit. When Graham came to a standstill ' he 'was near tha left fleld foul line. Of all his marvelous lys this perhaps waa the '.' most astounding. ( Johnny Cats OS Rnns.

Attendance: 7W. CHANCE, PHASER AND BPIT BALL Cnb Manager Believes In Snllvn De - livery Since New Plteher Acta. Manager Chance has never been a be liever In the spit ball, but his opinion has been changed a bit this season on account of tha great number of good men who have shown up with the saliva delivery, and gen erally these same twlrlers have proved puzslea to the Cubs. It now develops that Chance Is training Chick Fraser in the art of the spit ball de livery. Insomuch as Chick has been anx ious to use the wet ball, having tried it with wonderful success. With Moran as backstop, Fraser showed his marvelous breaking ball to Chance recently, and the big-manager was himself surprised, as waa also Catcher Moran. 'Whut's this you are sending me?" asked Moran when Fraser ctll"J Chance over to the side lines and began "licking the ball." He fired It at Moran and It broke half a foot, so Moran said. "That's a peach," said Chance. "Get in the box and try It." Fraser then went, into the pitcher's box and that same bunch of right and left-handed sluggers which head the Cib batting list smashed at the spit ball. Fraser had them fanning and hitting slow Infield bunts for half an hour, while Chance stood back of the box and seemed wonderfully pleased with the new delivery of the man he got from Cincinnati. "I have a good spit ball myself," said MordeCai Brown, "but Chance won't let me use It. You see, when a man has all the curves that I use he does not need a spit ball; also I believe a man loses his curves when once he adopts the spit ball delivery altogether. The spit ball has made bad pitchers good and good pitchers bed. Take, for Instance, Ed Walsh and ' Frank Bmlth of the White Sox. They never ,.rV 'ITL mastered the spit ball, and now they are at the top of the list. I might name some good pitchers who have gone wrong all through their adopting the spit ball, but they still believe they are good men In the box, and I won't hurt their feelings by mentioning names.. They may, or course, come to the front with the spit ball, but I have my doubts. I am a great believer In it, but with what I have I do not need It."

Omaha, def.sr It was that more than anything else that ed Thompson. Kansss City, and Doherty, seemed to appeal, to the crowded galleries nd every play of the doctor's, whether It was fortunate or brilliant, and sometimes when It was neither, was enthusiastically , applauded. Toward the exciting finish the spectators were on their feet part of the time cheering and laughing like rooters at a ball game. When tne match was finally won they swarmed down onto the courts and crowded around Dr. Whitney to con gratulate him over his victory. Sweet Is a steady, clever, player and waa picked by more 'than ono to give Peters a tough fight in the last round. When the match started his opponent seemed a littlo afraid of him and lost a number of points by nervousnoss, which caused him to drive Into the net and serve doubles. It was ex pected after his hard fight which ran that set to deuce that his strength would give out and the way In which Sweet took the second, 1-4. seemed to support such an opinion. When the second set ai played Dr. Whitney turned to Jack Cannon, who was sitting at the back line, and remarked: "Well, I suppose It's too late to brace up now," Doctor Stands tha Strain. Cannon encouraged him and to the In tense delight of his supporters In the gal lery, he won the third set by four, games. Instead pf tiring Dr. Whitney seemed to bo standing the long strain even better than his young opponent, and In spite of numer ous small mishaps, such as falls and a wrenched arm, he was the stronger of the two at the close. It Is feared he will be unable to play against Peters In the finals match at 4 o'clock this afternoon as well as he might have If today's program had not been so severe.
