Ragan pitched a magnificent game OF ball.
although his base on balls and hitting

TO DO toward allowing Lincoln to score
the last two runs which put II enough
ahead TO win the game Ragan struck out
seven OF the first twelve men put out and
IN the fourth inning struck out three men

Pa did not have his horseshoe with him
again yesterday and everything went
wrong. Gonding had passed ball which

poor throw to the home plate which let in
another all OF which helped to lose an
otherwise close game.

game. The ball went back OF short and too
far in for Davidson and neither could
touch II. Two on bases and none out. The
bunting game was tried and failed mlser-
ably. No more runs were brought across
the plate when, with three hltters like
Belden, Franck and Aubrey, Il looked as
though Omaha should have scored. Belden
tried to bunt and Gonding was caught at
third. Franck hit to steen. who caught
Ragan at third, and Aubrey flew out to
Fenlon That, however tied the score.
The Rourke family took a lead of one
run in the seventh inning in this manners
Gagnler fumbled Gonding's dustraiser and
Gonding advanced two bases on the outfeld
outs OF Ragan and Belden and scored on
Francks single. The fans we're resting
quite comfortably as Ragan was pitching

the game was won.
Bad Period for Omnhn.
The eighth inning was disastrous for
Omaha znran hit a hard ball just inside the
third sack and was sacrificed to second by
Mckay. Ragan hit Ketchem and passed Fox,
Milling the bases with one out Fenlon hit
to Graham, who had plenty Of time to
catch Zinran at the home plate, but he
threw wide and Gonding had to pull his
foot on the plate TO reach the ball The
mighty Davidson struck out and Thomas
came TO bat Raglan had him struck out ac-
cording to popular Judgment Cbut here Is
where the majority does not rule) and that
would have left the score a tie, but Um-
pire Brennan. who was at the sack. ruled
otherwise. Thomas hit the next ball for a
single too far in for Aubrey to reach and
Ketchem and Fox scored. Fenlon was
caught mapping at second and the inning
was over, but Lincoln was two runs to the
good and that was enough to win the game
