Why Ray Leese went "dead" between Germantown and Seward. Why Walt Hunter and Shaberg didn't pace Miller and Peters. Why Ed Walton don't ride a modern wheel. Why Young Allen's cigar trembled so in his mouth at Seward and yet he came in with the flyers. Why Ed Millmine didn't go on the run. Why Banks don't stay with the bunch Why Bailey is riding so fast. What the boys are guying Alvy Haw ley for. What is the matter with Al Blake. What Abbott expects to get in Omaha on the 30th. Why Capt. Hoagland lays out a run and then allows the privates to change it. Why lanterns are not used on wheels at night. What Erskine King meant by refer ring to Ed Walton's interrogation points.

The Lincoln team blew in from the west to-day. They are all little dumpy fellows who look as though they had been swiped on the head with a hammer in the mewing days of their youth and had never recovered from the shock. There are one or two exceptions to this rule, but when the players first got off the train the spectators couldn't see them at all. Everybody was looking high in the air for the classic features of the gladiators who were burdened with such high avorages in tho race, and it was hard to come down so near earth. Among the notables in the Lin coln aggregation, or aggravation as tho case may be, is Gragg, tho pitcher, who used to be roasted in Rockford until he would have to put his spikes in tho ground and clinch 'em on the other side to keep from sailing into tho bleachers Ho will probably be treated 'with the redpect his beauty deserves this trip, however, as he is one of tho twirlers who downed the Rockfords on the oc casion of the visit of the home team to tho headquarters of tho relief committee in Nebrasky. Tho other players are said to be good filling, and Rockford should not have much difficulty in mak ing three Bquare meals off them. Rock ford Register Gazette. The base ball field is the last place in the world to look for religious Btrife, says a brother in the Cincinnati Enquirer. However, rumor has it that the present trouble among the Boston players is due to tho difference in religious views. The fight between Tommio McCarthy and Pitcher Stivetts in the dining room of the Louisville hotel is said to be incidental to a religous discussion between some of the players. For over two years there has been trouble between the Boston players on this score. Duffy, McCarthy, and Tucker are arrayed against Stivetts, Long and Lowe. Some of the others have also taken sides. Staley and Cliff Carroll when they were with the team also had trouble. It is queer that ball players can't get along together with out quarreling about their difference in faith. It is probably the first time in the history of the game that religion has caused a disruption in a base ball team. An evening paper gives Manager Ebright of the Lincolns, an undeserved aoaBt for his so called clownish actions in tho ball game Friday, Mr. Ebright need have no fear that he did anything to injure the sport in Rockford. No one thinks he did either. He had a perfect right to cut up all the monkey shines he pleased. The same by a Rockford play er would have been pronounced very funny. Mr. Ebright won the opening game here before a crowd of 2,500 peo ple and he had a right to feel good to stand on his head it he wished. His big hit won the game and he made the prettiest pickup of the day. Quincy Herald. Gussie Alberts called down the wrath of every lover of respectable ball playing by his disreputable work in interfering with Speer when he was catching a foul fly yesterday. Don't do it again, Gussie. Rockford can forgive poor playing, but not dirty work. Rockford Register Ga zette. St Joe has given Manager Gatewood the chase. Leo Muchenberger will manage the team. LAWN TENNIS. The Lincoln Tennis Club has added several new members during tho past week and prospects are bright for a very successful season. Geisthardt is rapidly approaching championship form, whib Haggard and Canticld are keeping the "old man' very busy. There is a gen eral regret that Fred Shepherd will not enter the coming tournament. He is one of the very strongest players. Will Owen Jones is playing a very swift game this season with remarkable improve ment over his 94 play. He is young, ambitious and full of life and should mature into a very strong player. The university of Nebraska tourn ament has just ended, resulting in the final victory of G. A. Loveland, who has rapidly become one of the best players in city. He will enter the state tourn ament in June as will several other university boys. Tennis is booming at university, this year as never before and with the new grounds anticipated by them for another season their club should take high rank among those of the west. Messrs Stone and Troyer of the university club are only playing in their second season but are showing much promise. The latter contested DERBY BICYCLES Made. Strongest Frame. C. A.
