Bogatts. former pitcher for the Coronas,
an amateur team OF Omaha. jumped into
fame in the professional field of base
ball Wednesday by winning his first game
in fast company. beating Lincoln by the
score Of Z to 5.
Pas twirling staff is slightly hors de
combat from the high winds in the noun
tains which has given several of the boys
sore arms, so something had to be done
to give them a needed rest. Bogatts was
suggested. 80 Captain Franck had him
out in uniform Tuesday warming up with
the team and Wednesday put him IN TO
pitch against the team which had shut
out Pat Raglan and his bunch the day
before.
All was not smooth sailing however.
for Mr.. Bogatts. for his team was behind
until the sixth inning. when the score was
tied. In the seventh Omaha went one
run ahead and Lincoln again tied IN the
first half OF the eighth, but in the last
half of the eighth Aubrey cinehed the
game by hitting a home run drive after
King had singled with two men out.
BoEatts was quite steady although the
Foxes showed an inclination to hit him
quite hard at times. Lincoln was lucky
at that and several hits were caused by
the element of luck being against Bogatts.
He was cool in the pinches and at one
time pulled the inning through with just
one run scored against Omaha, even after
the first three men up had reached first
on errors.
Fortune Turns After First.
Lincoln was subdued quite handily in
the first inning and 1t looked as though
it was going to be easy sailing especially
after Omaha had played its half of the
first and had scored one run. Then the
fortune OF war changed and Lincoln
started to making the runs. Two were
made in the second and one in the third,
Omaha remaining at a standstill.
For Omaha King singled and Aubrey
walked and King went to third when
Aubrey was forced at second by House.
] holder. DR.. WEIGH did better than ne had
done the day before and drove In the run.
Bogatts walked Thomas, the first man
UP in the second and Davidson executed
a neat sacrifice. Pritchett singled and
st. Louis Jack trotted him. Jones singled
and Jude did likewise, driving Pritchett
home with the second run.
The run made by Lincoln in the second
was a scratch affair all around. Fox
hit a double that scooted just inside the
third base line and Fenlon drove hin
home with what looked like an easy out
but it bounded over Franck's head.

P~ritchett's error and coming home on
Autrey's double.
Fenlon scored in the sixth on a base on
balls. a sacrifice and Pritchett's single,
and then Omaha tied the score by making
two runs. Belden went to first so fast that
he scared st. Louis Jack into making an
error and then he scored on Franck's
double. Franck went to third on Gonding's
infield out, and came home when Bogatts
flew out to Jude.
Breaks Tie in Seventh.

seventh, breaking the tie. With two out
Belden beat out a bun and stole second
and came home on Captain Franck's
double, the second Of the game,
The eighth for Lincoln was the real in
ming, but the best the Bryanites were able
to do was to make one run and tie the
score again. The first three men up got
their bases on errors and then with one
ruin in. Bogatts and the team settled down
and there was nothing more doing.
Franck missed an easy grounder and
Householder dropped a fly on which
Gagnier scored. Thomas hit to King, who
also booted the ball. An attempt at double
steal ended disastrously for Mr.. Fenlon
at the plate. Davidson walked and Pritch-
EFT singled, but stilI no one else crossed
the plate. , Sullivan hit to Bogatts, who
threw to Gonding in time to head off a
forced run. Jones then flew out to House
holder and the agony was over.

the last of the eighth inning. Bogatts
struck out, but Austin beat out a bunt and
was then caught trying to steal second.
