WEATHER MAN SPOILS CAME
Rain Keeps Big Crowd Away from viutOn
Street Park.
OMAHA BEATS THE STATE CHAMPIONS
Grounds Are muddy and Score is one
sided. Twelve 20 FOur-same
Teams Play This After


Rain kept the large crowd which was
expected at the Vinton street park away
from the benefit game and the consequent
mud made good ball playing impossible.
The new dirt which Pa has had placed on
the diamond TO level It was one huge mud
hole. This did not dry out much until the
game was nearly over, in which the
Rourkes beat the Lee-Glass-Andreesen team
by the one-sided score of u TO 4. the pro-
fessionals being the best mud horses.
The women of the Young womans Chris
tlan association had sold quite few tickets
but the showers in the morning and the
threatening weather In the afternoon kept
the attendance down to about $50. A num-
Der Of the spectators were women and all
seemed to enjoy the game in spite Of its
one-sidedness.
The record Of fourteen bases on balls
for one game. with three Wild pitches and
one man hit. will probably stand for the
summer, at least II is hoped so. The ball
would become so muddy that II was almost
impossible for the pitchers to get II over
the plate. sarelder was especially wild
and passed three and hit one man In one
inning. when he was replaced by sculley.
who did much better. Quick also had one
bad inning, the Lee-Glass-Andreesen team

walked four in that inning.
When the game first started the efforts
OF the men to field Erounders and to run
bases was really laughable. A player
would start after a ground ball and would
almost invariably fall and become all
smeared with mud. AS the game progressed.
however, the players became more used to
IT and the ground became dryer. so the
game was much better.
Sanders showed Up in extra good form.
as he has been considered a late-summer
pitcher. He seemed to have more speed
than at any time last year and was more
active in fielding his position. But two
hits we're made from him during the two
innings he pitched. He passed none and
struck out six.
The grounds dried out fairly well before
the game was over and should be in good
condition for the game today, when Pa
says he will pitch Dodge and Port.
The same teams play today. Score:

CREIGHTON SHUTS OUT CorNER
Local COIIeEians win First Game on
Home Grounds.

Creighton university yesterday won the
nrst game OF the season on the university
neld from Cotner. The local colIeeianH
succeeded In running up a score OF while
their opponents we're shut out. Whitehead
pitched an excellent game for CREIGHTON,
allowing only two hits, Ling securing one
In the first inning and Murphy lining out
a single in the eighth. The work OF the
inneld was all that could be desired. The
outfield had little to do Lynch and Nc
Shane each nabbing a fly the only ones
that came In the outfield
For Cotner Ling pitched a good game
and had he been given proper support the
game would have been a more even one
The six hits that were made on him were
all scattered, except in the third inning
when McShane and Mullens singles, to-
gether with a two-bagger OF Stems and
an error OF Eller, Melted three runs. In
the fourth Coad was passed to first, Fish
beck singled. A double steal was then
neatly executed and both runners came
in on an error OF Murphy. The shortstop
and FIRST baseman in the next two innings
helped out on two moro runs. Stems work
on third, as we'll as his stick work, was
especially commendable.

Juniors shut out Mutea.

The second nine at Creighton, under the

shutting out the team from the Nebraska
Institute for Mutes yesterday In an in
teresting game Of base ball. Through the
hitting Of Miller, Cullen and Corrlgan,
coupled with several errors of the mutes
the locals ran up a score of 6. McMann's
pitching was indicative of excellent future
material for the varsity team.

THE GOLD OF ALASKA.
II Was First Found by a Russ.AA
Trader In 1892.

Gold was first discovered in Alaska
OF the Anauk river, tributary of the
kuskokowim river, which joins the
latter stream about twenty-five miles
bslow the trading post Of KALAMAZOO
tisky. The Anauk river was discovered
by Ivan Simenson Lukeen in 1882. at
which time he built q fort, called Luz
keen's fort, on the Kuskowim river.
twenty-five miles above the mouth of
the Anauk. 1t was partly destroyed
by natives in 1871 and rebuilt by IA.
lamakoff, Russian trader, afterward
and called Kalamakof redOubt
In 1882 the headquarters of the Rus
sian-American Trading company were
at Sitka, and supplies were transport
ed from thence to Lukeen's fort by
way Of Nushagak river, Tic-chic river
and lake and down the Anauk river tc
the KuSkowim river and thence up-
stream twenty-five miles to the fort
In 1881 the yearly supplies were sent
IN by way Of the mouth of the Kusko-
win river and the old way abandoned
as a summer route and used only for
the purpose Of vending out the mails
during the winter by dog teams. It
was the only winter route the Russians
ever used from any point on the Yukon
to the outside (Sitka) and was only
abandoned for the purpose after they
left the country
1t was while on one of these trims IN
1882 that the Russians discovered gold
on the Anauk, and it is known today as
the Yellow river Of the Russians. II
Is not known whether they ever at.
tempted mining on any large scale Of
whether they found gold in paying
quantities, but it is thought to be the
first time on record of gold being found
in this country
Lukeen was born of Russian and
Spanish-American creole parents in the
