THE NATIONAL GAME.
LINCOLN AT HOME.
Friday old Bill Traflley and his Rang
swooped down on us; swooped is a good
word, too. They enticed the bucklets
out to the M street park, and without
any foolishness or apology beat the
locals 9 to 3. Piggemeier pitched win
ning ball and Kimmerer didn't. That tells
the story completely.
t-t
Saturday's game with the Trafs was a
pretty contest bar the fatal ninth.
Both teams put up good ball and the
game was exciting until the last drink
water man sprinted over the plate with
the winning run. Gragg was touched
rather freely iii the ninth, O'Brien
miEsed an easy pop-up, and, well they
got one more run than we did.
t-t
After making good his boast that ho
would take two out of the three from
the Bucks, old man Traflley and his
gang dropped the third, and it was a
clear shut out, 13 to 0. Freddy did the
twirling for the locals. The game was
characterized by the good hitting and
ginger of "ours."
Quincy is our Jonah.
Three straight from Omaha.
McDougal of Quincy is all right.
McGreovy speaks highly of Quincy 's
new pitcher, Damon.
Sandy Griswold is the cleverest base
ball writer in the west.
Jax won a game from Peoria recently,
the first in three years.
Rockford papers are squealing because
their team can't hit the ball.
The high wind robbed O'Brien of a
home nm in Saturday's game.
Burkett, of Cleveland, was the first
league player td make 100 hits.
The Quincy Herald says Rockford is
their tapiocar Wonder who ours is?
Corbett, who once wore a Lincoln uni
form, has caught on with Rockford.
Peoria lined out sixteen safo hits for
a total of twenty bases off McGreevey
recently.
The E(6 Mci'ike 5i file's throwing
to first base is rotten. They lead Purvis
a merry dance.
We want at least 12 out of the 21
games abroad, and it looks as though
we can have them.
David City has the crack araateur
team of Nebraska.
won. Lincoln can skin Indianapolis all
right.
No more games at the M street park
until Aug. 9th when the Bucks meet
Quincy, Peoria, Jax , and Rockford in
the order named. Ihese are the last
scheduled games of the Illinois club in
Lincoln this season.
The Lincoln team is now playing in
the east and twenty-one games will be
played ere they return home. As to the
number of cobs with corn on they will
possess when they return is nothing
short of guess work.
The Lincolns have lost a few games
recently and the crowds aro sore. The
Lincolns aro a mighty good team and if
they don't satisfy the home patrons the
latter must be an ugly, ungrateful and
unreasonable lot. Rockford Star.
Each town in the association has its
favorite pitcher. Rockford idolizes
Underwood, Quincy bends the knee to
McGreevey, Omaha loves Egan, Peoria
can lisp but one name, Thomas. Des
Moines indulges in aqua pura to Figge
meier's health, St. Joe says Slagle, Jax
are not proud and Lincoln guesses all
three are in evidence.
All of the teams in the Association
have now passed the half way mark and
aro fairly started for the wire. The
fight for the rag will bo between Lincoln
and Peoria, although the next two clubs
have a fighting chance. Quincy is
spending money freely for pitchers and
Rockford is hustling for better talent,
but they will not be in it seriously.
Omaha should be nearer the top, at least
Des Moines has no license to lead her.
The fight for tail end honors is between
St Joe and Jax, with the chances in
favor of the Illinois team getting it.
Taken all around it is a pretty fight, and
will bo watched with interest to tho
finish.
FROM THE QUINCY HERALD.
Mertes has an olfer from Indianapolis
or Minneapolis.
The two "Jims' McGreevey and
McDougall should land the Brown
Sox near the top in the next three
weeks,
Come, boys, ginger up. We're only
two behind Omaba and Des Moines and
seven behind the leaders. There's no
reason why we can't win the pennant
yet, with sixty-three games to play.
McDougal says Quincy got him just
in time. "Buck" Ebright, of Lincoln,
had been in correspondence with Von
der Ahe for him. "Buck's" agent ar
rived at Von der Ahe's office fifteen
minutes after Ost left.

these days. It is no flattery to say he is
very much in the game.
In Wednesday's game at Omaha
O'Brien got three safe ones for six bases
and played without an error.
Tom Ramsey, who was released by St.
Joe early in the season, is now with
Mrs. Ramsey, recently signed.
Freddy Barnes is not exactly a king
but he is very much "pros"' when it
comes to pitching winning ball.
The Omaha team will be transferred
to another town Den ver or Sioux City
probably the latter within a week.
Rockford and Quincy papers devote a
good deal of space to base ball. The
game is very much in favor there.
The State Journal gets its percentage
table beautifully mixed. What's the
matter with copying from the News?
Des Moines passed Omaha and moved
up to third place this week. That is as
near the top as she will get this season.
The Des Moines team did some good
hitting in tho recent series here, but
they played in the biggest kind of luck
to win the second game.

'Jracl.iett s boys had a bad scare. The
train was about thirty miles from Gales
burg c?j the Peoria branch and tho boys
were ridrog along very comfortably in
the smoking car when there was a sud
den crash and every window on one
side of the smoking car was broken in.
The train was going through heavy
timber and a largo tree was blown down
and the top crashed into one side of the
smoker. McCormick, Farrelr- and some
of the others were seated on that side of
the car when the tree struck it. No one
was hurt, but all were scared, and it was
really a narrow escape, for if the tree
had struck the coach squarely it would
probably have derailed it.
BUSINESS NOTES.
Francis Bros., who run the restaurant
at 1418 O street, are in the field with an
innovation. They are offering first
class ice cream at 5 cents per plate a
goodly portion and good cream. They
have half a dozen tables with neat white
cloths and in every sense the service is
desirable. Give them a call.
Roy's Drug Store has removed from
the old stand to the corner of 10th and
P, the old Nissley stand. That this will
prove a good move for Mr. Roy is with-
