Ernie Cragg, 94 Des Moines, left his Indiana home Monday and the next day joined the Lincoln club, to assist, to the best of his ability, in the earning of tho rag by that city. He went in Wednes day against St. Joe. They didn't find him difficult to hit except one inning when he delivered ten balls and retired the side, having three strike outs to his credit. Lincoln, by the way, just now has two of their pitchers in a rather crippled condition, Kimerer and Myors suffering from different ailments. Dea Moinea Hecord.
