Game.
With two defeats chalked up against
thera and anonther staring them -In the
face Pa Rourke's Colts yesterday afternoon
went after the Antelopes from Lincoln
with a vengeance and romped away with
the came with a 7 to 2 score.
The work of the Omaha team yesterday
afternoon was the bent It has shown this
season and thrilling double plays and star
catches featured the game. Graham and
Ward easily carried off the honors for In
dividual playing, although much credit
must be given Keely for his slab work.
The Lincoln bunch had to work to get the
three scratch hlta which they did get and
but three went to base on balls.
Tho weather, aside from a strong wind
was almost perfect and the 400 fans In
the stand were treated to a rare exhibition
of anti-season ball playing. The Lincoln
bunch put up a good game, but went to
Pieces In the fourth Inning and as a re
sult Omaha took advantage of the loose
playing and garnered four runs before the
third man was put out.
Stolen bases featured the Colts base
running. Four bases were pilfered by the
home team, the honors going to Pickering,
King, Kane and Bchlpke. Although Lin
coln took three chances on stealing bases
from Gonding It failed to get away with
any of them.
Lincoln Scores First.
Lincoln went to bat first and managed
to get one run, which for a while looked
to be the only scora of the game. Gagnlor
got to first on a hit to center, went to
second on Cobb'a out to Kane and came
home on Kanes fumble of Millers liner.
No 'mora scoring was done by either
team until the fourth Inning, when Omaha
started the fireworks. King went to first
on an ' error of Unglaub, to second on
Kane's hit past pitcher, and came home
when Stretton threw the ball past first
basest ' Kane took second on the wild thro? !
Bchlpke went to first on a hit past'
pitcher and was caught on second by aj
fielder's choice, Graham getting first, j
"Ward sacrificed the two men and both
came In on Cobb's error of Oondllng's Ion 1
fly. Gonding came home on Keeley's hit !
to deep center.
.' Two runs were made by the Colts In the
fifth Inning and another in the sixth. Lin
coln secured the lost run In the eighth In
ning when Cole waa walked and came
home on Cobb's two-base hit to right field.
In the fourth, fifth and seventh Innings
Omaha pulled off some lightning double
plays, which were easily the feature of
the game. -'
Today the Colts will line up against the
Lincoln team again and will endeavor to
even up scores by taking another game.
Durbln will be on the mound for the
Rourkes and Agnew at the reoeiving end
of the battery. George Graham made his
first appearance on the diamond since his
eye was hurt, and be will be out again

MACHINE MEASURES ATHLETES
Kansas Man Invents Device to Make

KANSAS CITY. April 15. A novel Inven
tion in the shape of an apparatus for
automatically taking measurements of the
work of track athletes at all points In a
race has lust been Installed on the run
ning track In the Robinson gymnasium,
Kansas university. The machine, which
Is the first of its kind and the invention of
Mr. Nalsmlth, director of physical culture,

along the track so as to divide the course
Into quarters.
The sticks project over the track and
are touched by the breast of the runner
as he passes. The bamboos are connected
to a make-and-breajt electrical machine,
which transmits the touch of the runner

Kearney Pitchers
Line Up for Practice
Monday Afternoon
Captain Black Has Sent Transporta
tion to Eight Candidates for Per
manent Position on Slab.
KEARNEY, Neb., April 15 Captain Cy
Black of the Kearney Kapttallsts base ball
team, haa wired transportation to eight
pitchers who are expected to report Mon
day for the pre-season tryout. These
pitchers are Guy Balliett, In Wisconsin,
played last year with Kearney; Frank H.
Green of Milford, Nob., played with Kear
ney for a short time only, last year; J. C.
Trimble, also of Milford and . former
Kearney twlrler; O. H. Rhoades of Alns
ley. Neb., played with Kearney .last year;
John White of Enid, Okl.. a new acquisi
tion; A. W. Ahlin of Hastings, another
new member of the staff; Hugh Skldmore,
who played last year with the Kansas
State league.
John Wright, who pulled Kearney out of
a number of games victorious last year,
has been spending the winter in Kearney,
having married a Kearney girl, and h
will also try for a place on the Kapltal
llsts" pitching staff this year. Dollv
Gray, the heavy hitter of Kearney noted
In the State league for breaking up sev
eral games by four-baggers, haa been
wintering in Buffalo county, spending
most of his time hunting on the rivers
and prairies. He expecta better luck on
the diamond than he has had as a hunter
of wild game.
Frank DeConly and C. Claire, the
happy and efficient first and" third base
men for Kearney last year, may not enter
the game this season. Claire has a posi
tion In a bank in Omaha, and while he has
been doing some practice work, will make
an attempt to be content with merely
watching Pa Rourke's Colts gallop
around with the big end of- the score
boards.
President A. L. Nichols and Secretary
C. W. Klbler of the local association
agree with Captain Cy Black that Kear
ney will marshal a stronger team than
the bunch with which It closed the last
season. From the eight pitchers com
ing and with a few others in sight, a
staff will be selected which Captain Cy
th'nks will make the other State leaguers
go some to surpass. Out and Infield
positions will be well taken care of on the
Kearney team. The practice will probably
begin Monday with eighteen or twentv
men on the field.

Youngsters Move On.
Four of the youngsters who have been
trying out at Rourke park this spring will
move to other climes this week. Jokerat,
the catcher, who ran Sam Agnew such a
close race for the backstop position, has
been adjudged as needing another year's
experience, and Farrell, the little Chicago
Inflelder, will also take a term in tha
State league. Slndelar and Troy Agnew,
the pitcher and catcher, will do one more
year In the bushes before coming to
Omaha.
Pa's Infield Is in poor condition, to start
ino season, wun uneaves laid up. Kneaves
declares that his injured leg will bo In
perfect condition to pluy for the opening
day, and Graham swears the same of his
eye that waa hurt. In the meantime Ward
is holding short for Kneaves. Graham la
back already, having played Saturday.
Jimmy Kane and Bchlpke are in the best
of shape,, however, and when Keavea and
Graham get back In the game there will
not be a speedier infield quartet In tha
league.
Sam Agnew and Johnny Gonding work
like Trojans receiving for Pa's brilliant
staff of pitchers.

In the outfield Ollte Pickering, veteran
and with a head for base ball that will out-
figure many a deep play, la to hold left,
and "Goat" Anderson will be the man in
riglit. Goat is leading off the batters each
day and he is going to worry some of
these twlrler this year. Clay Bchoonover,
playing center field, Is the hero of the
hour with the fans, for Clay is batting Ilka
a fiend, and it's a poor day when he does
not get three or at least two ' hits. Bert
King, cute as ever, is also on the Job, and
will work alternately with the others.
That pitching staff is the thing that the
bugs are going to really take keen delight
In this 'ear. Keeley, Fentress and Rhodes
are all In harness and working well. Joe
Lots, the Omaha lad, is learning fast and
ho Is going to do some great work for a
youngster this summer.
Blaine Durbln has Indeed come back.
Danny is just full of all manner of curves;
he has "stuff" on that ball and Danny la
no fool. He uses his head along with his
arm. Patton is coming along well and will
stick for this summer. When Patton puts
on more flesh he Is going to pitch better.
He was sick this spring and is still get
ting In condition.
