A big time is promised when Omaha
strikes Lincoln for the first real game May
2. The whole town is going to turn out to
do roofing stunt for the home aggrega-
ton and Mr.. Omaha Man will be given
welcome such as seldom Lincoln accords
visitor. Mr.. Mayor Brown will head pro-
cession, right behind the band, which will
include all the members of the city council
and city officers. These will ride in auto
mobiles, and then Mr.. Mayor will pitch the
first ball and the season will be formally
opened. 1t may be possible Ducky Holmes
will wear his gold medal won at Detroit
for good work back in the early hundreds
but whether he does or not. the scene will
be sufficient in grandeur to awe most teams
that come out of a town like Omaha. What
will happen II Lincoln wins that game
well, that isn't down on the calendar, but
it will be a plenty. Anyhow, there are peo-
pie here who believe Lincoln is going to
start the season right, even II the boys are
not in the best OF shape. and Lincoln DOES
| love to swat IL to Omaha.

Duckr,s Tronble Gomez EarIy.

Holmes got a setback right at the jump
whi8b would have discouraged most any
one else. lie lost three star players for
whom he had paid out good round dollars
he earned in his youth on the diamond
and to which he added to, by chasing
corn rows over in Iowa. The greatest Of
these losses of course was Starnagle, his
catcher, who cost the new manager just
500 plunks. Starnagle failed to show up.
Then Martin, the Omaha player hzzled
out, and so did MolyneauX, who was
bought with the st. Joe team.
Holmes kept going, however, and now he
has pretty respectable aggregation,
which WILL before the season is over, no
doubt give a good account of itself.
Lincoln during the last few years has
been wild over foot ball and for a time
maybe base bah may seem tame, but 1t is
very evident from the good crowds which
have witnessed the exhibition games he
will be given good run for his money.
So far Ducky has been particularly TIN
fortunate in not making friends with Mr..
Loveland. the clerk of the weather bureau,
during his preliminary skirmishes, and con
sequently he has had to sit around the hotel
and watch the clouds roll by on several
occasions. This has caused a delay I'm get
ting the boys in good shape as rapidly as
might be desired, but during the last few

Harmon shows Up wei.

1t looks like Holmes has shown good
judgment in getting that man Harmon
from Hastings to add to his list of pitch
ers. Harmon is just a boy yet, with lots
to learn about the game, but he has that
very desirable element in his makeup Of
wanting to learn # all, and he makes no
bones about it. He is open to conviction
and If Holmes doesn't make a killing
with him before the season is over IL
will surprise those who have watched
the boy during the exhibition games. He
takes to hard work like a duck to water
and he is getting his.
In fact, Holmes has got bunch of
pitchers that ought to be right up in the
notches when the thing is all over. lie
didn't know one of them when he began
to get his team together, but his judgment
at this time seems to have been good.

That's what Ducky Holmes is telling the

manager makes good on what he says, and
there is no reason why he shouldn't, the
indications are the people of the Capital
City will give him all kinds of support.
The Lincoln aggregation is being whipped
into shape at a good pace, and there is
good evidence to bast an assertion that
Lincoln has a good ball team 1t should
be remembered this team was selected by
Holmes under q great handicap. With the
exception of Shugart, Holmes was not per
scnally acquainted with a single man on
the team. Every one has been secured
on reputation only. This is due to the
fact that Holmes was granted his franchise
so late he had no time to hustle around
