THE NATIONAL GAME
Wait for May 2.
Peoria will be the first victim.

'V'
No games in Lincoln until May 2.
t
Kennedy is one of the fastest men who ever played in Lincoln.
t
The new uniforms are on exhibition at the Globe clothing house.
t
Jacksonville has secured White and Sonior of the Indiunopolis
team.
t
The city league promises to entertain the lovers of the game
while the league club is away.
t
McKibben is not showing up well in the Des Moines exhibition
' games-and it is more than probable that ho will bo transferred to
the outfield.
t
Van Buren played the outfield in Kansas City that won him much
praise. Manning eayB that he ib a wonder and the young fellow is
hitting the ball.
t
Will some enterprising photographer get in his work on Buck
Ebright's colts? There seems quite a demand for photo's of the
future champions.
T
The Sunday games will be played at Courtland. The Union
Pacific will run a special train from Lincoln and the faro will bo 50c
for the round trip.
t
Taylor is showing up well at the bat, but he is not in the best con
dition for field work. It must be taken into consideration that he
is playing out of his position, being a third baseman.
t
McStay has been released by Rockford and in commenting on his
release the Register Gazette says that if ho practiced 24 hours per
day for 100 years he would not be fast enough to carry the bats.
t
The new uniforms of the Lincoln team have been on exhibition in
the west window of the Globe clothing house for several days.
They are of an attractive gray with the name in black and are very
neat and natty. The stockings are white. They are up to the
usual standard of the Globe's work.
t
Clem Kimerer is showing up in fine form and his many admirers
who predicted that he would be one of Lincoln's winning pitchers
have every reason to believe that he will fulfill their prediction. In
last Saturday's game in Des Moines he pitched winning ball and up
to the 5th inning, the time that he was taken out of the box, Traffey's
Indians had secured but one run off the big boy. His finger still
bothers him some, but he will be all right when the season opens.

"THE LATEST' IS OUR MOTTO.
Patrons of the game have commenced to compare this year's team
with that of last year and thoy do not seem to take it into con
sideration that when the team arrived here last year they were in
playing form for tho season, that they had the benefit of a California
winter to practice in. Tho players who are hero at present have
only had two weeks practice and because Manager Ebright uses
good judgment about the care of tho young pitchers in theso oxhibi
tion games there seems to be a few Bore heads who think that the
team could not beat nine old women the best way to treat these
calamity howlers ia to wait until the season opens and then listen to
the 'I told you so'.

NOT QUITE STRANGERS.
"Excuse me," said the summer girl, languidly, to her fiance,
"but may I ask you a question?"
"Certainly," said the devoted lover, tightening his grasp on her
tender waist.
"Well," said the beautiful girl, "would you mind telling me your
name

TRIbBY.
Written for Tub Courier.
It's Trilby this and Trilby that
Trilby shoes and Trilby hat,
Trilby songs and Trilby plays
Trilby hose and Trilby stays.
Everything beneath the sun v
Everything that's said or done
Has come connection
With that dreadful Trilby craze.
It's Trilby here and Trilby there
Trilby feet and Trilby hair,
Trilby gowns, and what is worse
Here we have a Trilby verse.
