LINCOLN WINS BOTH CANES
Nicksyitss Take Double Header While Pas
Children Take Good Sleep
OMAHA PLAYS SOME MISERABLE BALL
Sissy Keefe Adds 90 the Disgust OF
the Day and Does Not Um-
pire the second
Exhibition.

Five thousand fans left vinton street
park yesterday afternoon disappointed and
Disguised at the miserable exhibitions OF
ball playing put UP by Omaha in the
double header won by Lincoln, TO and
to q For all-round stupidity and head
less work Omahas exhibitions were the
prizes of the season. The team made 1--WE
errors in the first and four in the second
game, but that doesn't half tell the story.
for as many failures to embrace chances
of winning were made and could not be In
cluded in the error column.
Pop Eyler pitched the first game for Lin
coin and the spell of his old-tIme hoodoo
must have lasted throughout the double
header. that and Sissy Keefes rotten
work. The sister was so rotten in the first
game as TO arouse his own disgust to that
extent that he would not umpire the second
game
zackert, who pitched for Lincoln in the
second game, looks just like Pop from
behind, as he Is about as tall and lank,
the difference being he is a side-wheeler
and hands out his packages with his
south paw.
Sanders was opposed by Pop Eyler in the
first game and their support was exactly
opposite. The men back Of Pop helded
like hends except for three errors which
did not count, while the men back Of
Sanders flelded like so many dummies.
Three times an Omaha player opened the
inning with a hit and just that many times
did another Omaha player hit into a
double. In the fourth Perring made a
single and went to third when Gagnier
juggled Welch's grounder. That was a
good start to overcome the lead of two

into a double. About the same was true
in the sixth and seventh innings. hit
could not be had when it was needed and
to that extent was Pop Eyler's hoodoo
working.

when Ketchem and Quillin started of will
singles. Fenlon drove a liner which How

Zackert and MoNeeley were the opposin
