Joe Dolan fin ishing the last gam the tittle Frenchman pitched In Omaha by two-sacker In the ninth Inning. Sanders and Clcotte fought It out and fought hard, but Bandera wae accorded the better support and had the best of the argument from the first, while at the finish the home folks got onto Mr. CJeotte'a curves and It was all day with htm. Ban dera has been a stumbling block to ths Llnoolnltes for some time and yesterday was no exception, for he held them to four lilts In the ten Innings, although ha hit one man and passed four. The gam was fast and' snappy, but an hour and thirty mlnutea being required for the ten innings, quite a change from the last series, when Mr. Conahan let things drag and had the players wrangling over his bum decisions all the time. Yesterday Jack Haskell officiated, and there was no wrangling whatever. New Player ia Ganta. Pa had one of his new player In the game. King being In the left garden. Aut rey circled alt around first and took the seventeen chances which came his way without a wobble. King did not have a fielding chance and did not shine at the bat, although he showed good form. He Joined the ranks of that part of the Rourk family which Mr. Cloott had on hla staff, and did not make a hit. Ha Is a speedy player, however. Lincoln made two singles after two were out In the first Inning, and It looked Ilk Banders was to be touched considerably. Hut there was were the little southpaw fooled them, for but two other hits were made In the entire gam. No runs oam from those two hits. The only run Lincoln msde waa In the sixth Inning, when the lleot-f otted Ketohem led off with a triple to the right field fence, out of Belden' reach. Tot fell down on an attempt to bunt him in and Fenlon walked. Davidson put a liner out of reach of Franck, and Ketch scored. ,A neat double ended the Inning. Omaha did not show any signs of scoring until the fourth Inning, when the first run of the game was made on Welch's double and Fox's error. With one out, Welch lined the ball down the left field foul line for two sacks and King struck out. Graham hit a hard one. right Into the hands of Captain Fox, who juggntd the ball until Graham had reached first tnd Welch had crossed the ' pan. , " RoirkM Ml as Goo rhaaee.

Captain Franck called Joe Dolan from the bench to bat for Oondlng. to see If he Could not repeat his fest of last Wednes day, when he won the gam with a plnoh hit. Joe fouled several balls and struck out. The last of the tenth for Omaha started about as hsd the eighth, but It ended differently. Banders led off with a hit to right field and Belden beat out a bunt toward Reddlck, Bandera going to third on the bunt. It looked easy, but the same condition had existed In the eighth Inning and the fans remembered It. It was different thla time, however, for Captain Franck laid a bunt past Clcotte, who grabbed at the ball and mleaed It. Befor Fox could get hold of the ball the gam was Won. The score: OMAHA. AB. R.

Jack Haskell Is quite an Improvement over Conahan. Besides pitching a splendid game. Sen ders made two et the most timely, hits of the game. The question now Is whether McKay, who held Omaha to two hits In eleven In nings, will have to take his medicine the same as did Clcotte. Dolan was not there In the pinch, but the fans had lust as much confidence In his ability to fine It out as though Hans Wagner had been called upon. Six hits were made off Clcotte In the last three innings, and there is no telling how many more would have ben made If the last Inning had been played out. The only errors of the game were by Fox and Gognler. Fox missed a hard grounder and Gamier missed another, which bounded badly and hit him in the mouth. Ducky did not have hla suit on yester day. He doesn't like to play in Omaha, and besides he did not want to have to ride home In the bus with the Ducklings after their defeat. Fox made one of the most sensational plays seen for somo time on the local grounds. He soared through the air In the fifth Inning, Dulled down a liner from Belden's bat ana whirled in time for a double. The ball was nearly over second base when he speared It. Paetlo Defeats Denver.

Th time has come when soma of th big nines. Indeed if not every, one, must do a lot of thinning out cf men who have been the life-blood of th 'respec tive teams for many seasons.

GARIBALDI ONE 'OF HIS T0UEISTS With General GraaY'II Was Chamutr ad II Remembers Well the lord'" Protector . of ' - Entrland. A certain colored , porter on a certain Chicago-Omaha train possesses an Im agination and penchant for self-laudation, which la an ever flowing spring of Joy to such as have the fortune to be waited upon by him. This Is the report of travel ing men, who have made the trip with Joe. It Is said Jo Is the oldest porter In th service. He Is much older than he looks if hla own statement is to be be lieved. fah-ah-ah," Jo is wont to laugh when the traveling men guess at his age. They may guess 40, tb or even go years, ine lower they put It the more broadly Joe grins and then when even the highest guess has been put In Joe, gurgling with happi ness, tells them. 'Ah won't see 07 no moah." Then while the traveling men express their astonishment Joe is scarcely able to contain himself for Joy. Thr Ia probably' only one thing Joe likes better than to astound people with hla age this way. And that is to tell them of th time he had President Grant under his car, while be was making a trip from Washington to New York. The tales he has told of the conversation between the presi dent and himself would fill a book. Star of f-tmi la Eclipse. But Joe's star of fame Is in eclipse. Ills ambition has o'erleapt Itself and fallen on other aids. The cause of It all was a traveling man and it happened on a recent trip from Chicago. ,. Jo found a little group of his old friends. With them waa another man whom Joe had not seen befor. "This Is th porter that had charge of President Grant's car once," said one of the traveling men to th stranger with the manner of one Introducing a celebrity. And Jo showed his teeth In a grin and purred with Joy. The stranger looked at Joe, smiled and expressed his pleasure at meeting a gentleman ao distinguished. Joe went away about hla duties. In an hour he passed th group again and they stopped him. "W have a bet on, Joe, that you have traveled with Garibaldi," said one. "Tou have, haven't you?" It was a sore temptation and Joe fell. He couldn't admit that he had never trav eled with Oarlbaldl. , "Ah sure baa." be said, "and a fin man Maaaa Garibaldi waa." With this non commit al statement Jo hurried down the car. His conscience was not quit comfortable and th ghost of General Great seemed to reproach him mildly. H bad occasion to pas th Jolly group soon again, and again he was topped. Oliver Cromwell, To. "Joe, we've got one last bet up. Thla gentleman says you never traveled with Oliver Cromwell. I say you have." It waa th stranger who spoke, but all th others held solemn faces. Jo hesi tated. Was he to admit tbat be bad never had thla Cromwell under hla caret H put on a brave faoa. " 'Dd Ah had. Tea. Indeedy. Ah trav eled with Maaaa Cromwell twice. He waa a nloe ge'man, was klaaaa Cromwell. Ah remembers dlstlnkly he givs m a dollah when he left mah car." A burst of laughter greeted this state ment. Jo saw to a moment that he was undone and he hurried away. At Omaha h consulted his friends In vain for a tim regarding th personality of Oliver CromwelL Jo does not know yet that he claimed to have traveled In a Pullman oar with th lord protector of England who died In the seventeenth century.

The first meeting oc curs August 30, or Friday evening of this week: try. If at all possible, to be on hand. Governor Sheldon, Mayor Brown and Dr. Miller wilt speak, while B1xby and Grlgga will each read original poems composed In particular for the occasion In your honor. Thla first service. In some ways, will be one of the very best. ' On Saturday morning at 9 o'clock the automobile ride to all point of interest In and about the city, and then at 1 o'clock the banquet at Capital beach. Just west of the clt ,yand th speeches by many pioneers, when we will have a chance to take each other by the hand and speak of the olden times. I want to see your faces once more and recall th days of 1800, when I began Ufa on Nebraska soil. Beloved, do you know that I look forward to thla meeting with mingled feelings of Joy and solemnity, almost like a sacramental serv ice? Indeed, It will be a memorial service. This Is going to be by far the best old settlers' meeting of th whole state ever held, and If we find we can make this one good, other and better ones will follow. An old settler Is one who has been twenty five years In the state and a territorial pioneer one who was her in the year 187. The people of the capital city are plan ning to give th pioneer and old settlers one of the most pleassnt visits to Lincoln of then- lives. Do not fall to come. Your fellow pioneer, BYRON BEALL. Trlbnt to J ad a Sedgwick. YORK, Neb., Aug. S6.-To the Editor cf The Bee: I have known Judge Sedgwick from childhood; our fathers' farms Joined. When a boy he used to go to school to me. He was a thoughtful little fellow with a large brain and waa a fine scholar. He was entirely free from the rowdyism and lawlessness of boyhood. Socially and morally he has been a clean man. On the bench he has not been con fronted, like some Judges, with their own crimes staring them in the face. His pres ence Is an honor to his own city. He is lib eral and among the foremost In advocating and sustaining Improvements. lie has been a strong factor In building up a town which la ths pride of th stats. In his business relations he has been on the square. No graft sticks to his fingers. He Is a natural born Judge, but Instead of making light ntngllke decisions Ilk our wonderful presi dent he takes time to look fairly on all sides.
