THE COURIER. F THE NATIONAb GAME. The Lincoln's will ccme home on top. Jay Andrews is playing with Des Moines. Dave Eowes father died last week in Golden, Colo. "What has become of the city league; why don't they play ball? Chicago pays Abbey 400 a month and rents bim to Quincy (or $200. The New York club is trying hard to get Burkett of the Clevelands. Emmerko of the St. Joes, asked for his release aad was accomodated. Lebbin and Fleming, two of Rock fords pitchers, have been releated. White, late of the lndianopolis club, is playing center field for the Quincy s. The Iowa Inter-state league is playing good ball all around with Dubuque in the lead. Chris Von Der Ahe only wants $7,500 for Breitenstein, the left handed St. Louis pitcher. Pittsburg leads them all in the Nat ional league with Cincinnati and Chi cago not far behind. Nolan's terms are too high, hence he will not play ball in Quincy. He has signed with St. Joe. Will the Rockford Register-Gazette please take notice that the Lincoln's have been pulled down a peg? Taylor, of Jacksonville, is an actor. To see him pose on the diamond reminds one of Pauline Hall in "Dorcas. Taylor, who has been released by Manager Ebright while on the eastern trip, is now playing with Jacksonville. The Clarksons did not play the Hast ings Y. M. G. A. club Thursday as they intended on account of rain at that place. Meyers, who was signed by Manager Ebright the first of the season and re leased on account of sickness, is still in the city. Manager Nicol, of the Rockford team, has signed Dillon, a college pitcher of Bloomington, who finished last seasou j with Peoria. Lincoln must win at least two games from St. Joe. That will make the seven out of fifteen we wanted on the eastern trip. Cole's fielding in last Sunday's game with Jacksonville was phenomenal, he being credited with ten put outs and not an error. The Columbia nine defeated the Pi rates by a score of 9 to 0. Batteries for Columbia, Elder and Warren; Pirates. Walt and Don. Philadelphia, New York, Pittsburg and Boston are the only four clubs in the National League that will not play ball on Sunday. Hallers, of the Peoria team, is imita ting Buck Ebright to perfection; in other words he is hitting the rounded sphere hard and often. Talk about playing ball. That quiet slim-built, gcod looking fellow, Van Buren is right in line. He hits the ball with clock-like regularity. The Lincoln Sluggers defeated the Ducky Linn team Thursday by a score of 10 to 9. Batteries: Sluggers, Daviel son, Slassman and Rose; Duckies, Linn and Booth. Umpire Haskell is said to be rank in most of his decisions this year. It also intimated that he indulges, to a very great extent, in what some people call "Irish Enthusiasm." Peok-a-boo Veach has been released by Manager Brackott, of the Quincy team for getting drunk and making himself generally obnoxious. Ho is another Youngey Johnson. Roach, who played hero in '91 has been signed by Manager Brackctt; also Abbey of the Chicago's. These pitchers will, no doubt, do much toward strengthening the Quincy teaoa. The Quincy Herald is of the opinion that the Quincys and St. Joes have made a good trade. Veach and Nolan go to St. Joe and the crackerjack first baseman, McVey, goes to Quincy. Lincoln has a good very good as sortment of pitchers. There can be no doubt of it, but it is useless to deny the fact that Peoria and Quincy are not very far behind us in that particular. Last Friday's game between Rockford and Omaha was played under protest because Manager McVittio played Shaf fer, who was recently suspended. If the Omahogs can't win one way they will the other. Everybody turn out June 4th and give the boys an ovation. A team that can treep up their lick away from home or at home either for that matter, is deser ving of encouragement and the very best of everything we have in the city. Make them feel as though their efforts were appreciated. The St Joe Gazette has this to say of Gatewood, the erstwhile manager of that team "Gatewood, so the story goep, has resigned from the manage ment of the Saints. If he could only resign from the club and take one or two of his promising youngsters with him St. Joseph might secure a ball club arterall." The city of Lincoln in general and the ball fans in particular can point with pride to the fact that they have some of the most gentlemanly players that ever graced the diamond.

Packard, of Ne braska tied the score in the eighth by a fine double. In the fourteenth singles by Ingham and Wilson and the for mer's great base-stealing scored Ingham and won the game for the Iowa nine. The features were Leighton's superb pitching for Iowa, he striking out twenty-two men; phenomenal running catches by Bailey, of Iowa, and Benedict of Nebraska, the pitching of Bennett, of Nebraska and superb fielding by both teams. "To the victors belong the spoils.' Peoria is now in the lead. But Lincoln rightfully belongs at the top and you can't keep her down any more than Tle Gigar Store and News Stand.

Commencing with June 4 Lincoln will play three games on the home grounds with those boys from Missouri; and then comes Des Moines, whom our boys will have no trouble in defeating to the ex tent of three games that is, if we play better ball than they do. After the above team3 have shaken the Lincoln dust from off their feet, wondering how it was done, Ebright's bucklets will en deavor to the best of their ability to do the Omahas even as they would do us. The Rockford Register-Gazette of last Monday has this to say concerning Darby, Omaha's crack pitcher: "Darby got the worst roasting from the grand stand that he ever received in his life yesterday. The swell-head twirler's every move is self conscious and the base ball 'rooster likes nothing better than to see such conceited bantams take a tumble. 'Th-ee hundred dollars!' was the howl that resounded from one end of the park to the other when the Rockfords were pasting out terrific hits." A fourteen inning game was played Saturday between the state university of Iowa and the Nebraska state univer sity clubs. During the first inning the lor otnee. It is a little early in the season to pick out the pennant win ners with any degree of certainty. There is no doubt in my mind, however, but that the race in the end will be between Lincoln and Peoria or Quincy. Omaha is not going to hold out and it seems as though Des Moines could not stand prosperity. If they win one game they are almost certain to lose the next. Just now there is considerable talk and not a little wagering going on as to the result of those six games we are to play with Omaha from June 11 to 16 inclu sive. Lincoln, in my opinion, will get at least four games out of the series, three of course will be won at home and possibly one in Omaha. And again, some of our most enthusiastic fans are of the opinion that if our boys break even with Dave Rowe's aggregation they will be in luck, owing to the rival ry that exists between the two cities, to say nothing of the ball teams.
