Rare Chance.

Score Twenty.

Yesterdays cricket on the Omaha grounds
was a game between teams captained by j.
Cameron and ]. H.. Simms. 1t was not a
batter's day. Friday rain having made the
wicket almost soggy. During the afternoon
1O9 runs were made from the bat and of
these Harry New scored "a, carrying out his
bat from first man in. Camerons SIDE were
victorious by 70 runs.
r. r. Young and r. w. Taylor represented
Simms' side at the bat to the bowling OF Il.
Vaughan and Lawrie. Young was disposed
of by the first ball he received from
Vaughan, then Taylor was finely caught for
four by Simms, who was acting as substl-
tute at the time. w. Vaughan, Simms and
DR.. Young were the only others, to score,
DR.. Young giving the bowlers lots of trouble
for his six. The total reached the eXtraor-
binary figure of 20, which included only one
extra. The bowling was good, as will be
seen from the analysis. g..
Cameron sent in George Vaughan and
Harry New. George, after scoring six, was
dismissed, making way for Sprague, who
commenced to play a very careful game, but
one of w. V%aughan's finest was too much
for him. Lawrie then Joined New, and q
decided stand was made by these players.
They were not separated until they had COM
piled nearly fifty runs. when Lawrie was
cleverly caught by Young after scoring 10
Cameron made 9 in short order and New
still continued to pile up the runs, carrying
out his bat for a well hit andi carefully
played 81, a really creditable exhibition and
worthy the player. The innings closed for
ninety-three runs with only three extras
Will Vaughn captured six of the nine wick
cts.
Next Saturday the Omahas will play the
third game with the Gate City club, and as
the Omahas have won the two previous
games, the Gate Citys are on their mettle
and determined to carry off the last of the
series. On Sunday, July &c, the team leaves
for Chicago to play in the cricket tourna,
ment. 1t is expected that they will run VI
against something real hard, but the boys
are confident that they can at least hold VI
their end and the honor of Omaha and Ne
braska.

A Letter From Indiana.

The following Is an extract from a
letter received from Indiana by a Port
land man:
Eve are having the greatest campaign
here for many years. The Democrats
claim the state by 10000, while the
Repu blioana are equally as confident OF
carrying it by $4,000. Bryan has been
here as well as into nearly every other
county of the state, but has done more
harm to tho Democrats than good. The
Democratic central committee tried to
keep him out of the state, but he would
come. His speech here was printed in

been all over the state. The Democrats
are greatly excited over what he said ID
his speech here, AMI it has turned some
old-lins democrats against the party,
and they declare they win vote for Mo-
kinley.
"At Anderson, some 25 miles north of
here, place of %. 900, he refused to see

Bryan can carry Indiana, a. the Gas Belt

work in factories and who are oil for

the glass workers are for Mckinley with

the Democrats carried the state. the

The Turkish Question.

London, October 31.-The progress Of
the negotiations for the holding of a con-
ference on the Turkish question, pro-
posed to she Powers by Prime Minister
Salisbury. is favorable. The official ex-
pectation in London is that Lord Sails
bury will be able to announce az the lord
mayors banquet at the Guild Hall on
November 9 that the conference has fixed
on terms that are likely to result in the
preserving of psaoe. The fact that the
holding of such a conference is virtually
crushing defeat of British diplomacy
does not enter the mind of the average
Briton. Reliable report, through the
foreign office, credits the sultan with
appointing a private commission com.
posed Of two distinguished and wealthy
Turks, with other percentages outside of
the Moslem orioles to inquire indepen-
IDENTIFY into the Anatoiian troubles and
the Constantinople riots. The obvious
intention of the sultan is to pose as q
th-seeker and impartial Investigator.
Another intended announcement at the
banquet, towards the enabling of which
the foreign office is making strenuous
efforts, is statement that the Vsnezue-
Ian difficulty has been settled. Sir Ju-
liam Pauoefote, the British Ambassador
to she United States. has been instructed
by the foreign office to accelerate the ne
gotistions.

rather uncertain. But Portland's backs
made good work of it until misfortune

field WAS in very poor condition for play

Waterville, Me-, Oototer 31.-Colby
and the Maine State College looked horns
on the Colby field this afternoon in the
hardest fought football game ever seen
here, Colby winning four to nothing.
The play WAS rough and frequently inter-
rnpted by wrangling over the decisions
of che officials and injuries to the play
ers. Maine State relied on bucxing Col
by's line for gains while Colby varied
the play by sending her backs through
the line and round the ends. Colby en-
ployed several trick plays successfully.
Gibbons scored the winning and only
touchdown on brilliantly executed
criss CROSS. The ball was in Maine
States territory most of the time. The
line up:

Seem to stop this play and didn't know
how to break up such interference. So
it went to Portland's 85-yard line when
Underwood broke through and got the
ball on Thornton's fourth down. But
Portland only kept the ball minute.
Wentworth and Anderson tried for gains,
but could not do anything owing to the
superb end work of Thornton. The ball
went to Thornton again on downs.
At this point Portland lost one of her
best men in Underwood, who was OBJ
liged to retire, and Smith took his place.
Thornton commenced the same old tao
tics again. Boyker got 20 yards by 60
ing through a hole in Portland's line
large enough for horse and wagon to
drive through. Lee Cole smashed his
way through like an express train for
five or ten more and so on, the Thornton
backs smashing into the line like ava
lanohes, whirlwinds and cyclones.
Boyker finally scored touchdown for
Thornton, after 10 minutes of play 1t
was the hardest touchdown Thornton
made during the game and they had to
fight like wild colts for every inch they
gained. Armstrong kicked another goal
Score, Thornton, 16; Portland, 0. Only
30 seconds remained for play and when
Portland had punted to Thornton's 15-
yard line, time was called, and the hot
test game Of the season was ended.

Deerfng and Fryeburg.
Dsering High school and Fryeburg
Academy playe1 an exciting and closely
contested game of football on the Deer
ing grounds Saturday. The Deering boys
claim that the score was to 4. The
Fryeburgs claim that 1t was to 6. I'm
der all the circumstances Fryeburg's
claim will undoubtedly hold, although
it seems evident that in kicking the goal
which gave Eryeburg the game the tall
was improperly handled. The referee,
however, did not STE this, and in spite
of behring's protests. gave the goal and
game to Fryeburg. It is probable, how
ever, that Fryeburg would have got the
goal even without the improper hand
ling.
The game opened with aggressive work
by Fryeburg, whose men were especially
successful with plays through the line.
their superior weight telling in this
respect. Deering however, rallied and
by splendid work carried the ball by end
plays through Fryeburg's territory and
just AZ the half was closing Marsh made
a touchdown. The attempt at goal
failed, however.
In the second half Fryeburg kept the
ball in behring's territory, her superior
weight enabling her to gain steadily
by bucking the line. 1t was elephants
against horses, and it being too muddy
for trick plays, the elephants won.
Brook finally made touchdown for
