GAME EASILY WON BY THE ROWE OUTFIT.

Lincoln gained signal victory over
Omaha yesterday afternoon, and that. too, in
tho presence OF large and fashionable
crowd.
But IL was a rotten affair throughout, in so
far as the Lambs were concerned. They hit
the ball hard and often enough, but ran tho
lines and felded like lot of amateurs at
practice. In fact it was the very poorest
game they have played this season, and there
IS no accounting save that old, old cocoanut,
at was an Off day"
King Gaf too, was in the same canoe with
Shaunon's men. and a number of his decls-
ions were simply appalling. His calling
Donnely out at second in the third inning
was utterly excuseless, and the prevailing
opinion was that no didn't see the play at
all. OF course no sinister motive Is alleged,
because If there ever was square umpire
that man is John Gaffney. Still, his repeated
failures in judgment yesterday certainly had
much TO do with the Lambs poor playing
The Lincoln team was brimming with to-
baco sauce from start 10 finish, and it was
an exhilarating sight to see them play. Old
Jack Rowe was as nimble as three-year-old
and was the main guy in three brilliant
double plays. .
In the last of these, however, King Gaff
cut quite figure, for his calling shannon out
at first was dead wrong.
But the bright partICula' star of the agri-
cultural outfit was young Tomney.
He had just a dozen chances, and accepted
them all without the sembance of finch.
And besides this great work, he hit the ball
like fiend, making three and two
sacker and scoring two runs.
but the truth of the matter is the whole
team played fine ball and Brother Dave is
congratulated upon the excellent selection he

yesterday he won't oe apt to forget before
the season closes. Hes fresh duck, with
mug like dirty distl-rag and would cut

and gentlemen
But the game.
Shannon set the ball rolling in a most
promising way. lie bad just got in in the
morning from Bridgeport, Conn. and 1t
wasn't expected, after his long and Jiresome
Journey, that he would be in the best trim
for hard game. But it didn't seem to affect
him materially, for the second ball Stafford
pitched he showed out for a neat single,
OF course he was applauded, for there is a
world of fun in a cracking hit at such a time.
Donnelly went out from Hoodlum Raymond
to first, and then Danny was nipped on All
attempt to burgle second. Halligan got his
base on balls but was left, Old Cy side
tracking at first
The Farmers were luckier. Shannon's
error allowed Monk Cline to reach first, and
on the rowdy's out he went down TO second.
Brother Jack sacrificed him to third and he
scored on Burkett's single Brother Dave
and Tomney were then speedily retired
It was blank for the Lambs again in the
second, but in the third they tied the score
and went then one better

going to third. Shannon stole second, and
both runners scored on Stafford's wild throw
to first on Donnelly's grounder. Sutclffe
ended the inning.
Then Lincoln came back, and came back
hard.

!, famed, but Walsh's error put Tomnev on
first, and he and Burkett both crossed the
rubber on Statford's magnificent ee-cush-
ion drive. Then Oney Patton, model ball
player, hit her out for a single himself and
Stat was in.
Four runs. They on the game

this with three bagger, out on Staffords hit |

bases and run down. Stat got out of it all |
there was left, and that was third. Oney |
reached first on Walsh's second error and on
Wilson's single Stafford scored. That was |
all but it was plenty. |
In the following inning Omaha got In one |
more. II was lucky homer by Halljgan.
The ball went into the weeds along the right |
field fence and before Monk could fish it out, |
Jocko had circumnavgated the bases
