Game that Looked Lost.
EARLY STAGES ALL LINCOLN
Count Bonno Is Raped for Fnir in
the Eight aud -Four Runs and
the Game Are the
Result.

Omaha, 8: Lincoln. 3.
Terrific batting IN the eighth inning Sum
Say afternoon won a game which was given
up for lost by most OF the 1900 fairs who
Eathered at Viuton park Sunday afternoon.
The Rourke family played listless ball and
Lincoln made three runs. one at a time, and
held that lead until the sixth inning, When
a rally gave Omaha one run. The rally
ended quite abruptly on a double play. 1t
was resumed, however, in the eighth in
ninz and this time the Champions went
through with It and on four hits and two
stolen bases scored four runs.
That last rally was a peach and the fans
all took a hand in II. Fisher was the first
man up and he drove a safe one to left
field and stole second. Jude c~abbaged
Kings drive to about the same place and
Aubrey placed a safe ore into left field,
Then the scene shifted and WEIGH and Aus
tin made as pretty drives to right as one
would wish to see. Both were line drives,
Just over the head OF Captain Fox. 1t
looked for a minute as though he was going
10 stop Welch's double. Fisher scored on
the WEIGH hit and Aubrey and WEIGH scored
on Jimmy Austin's drive. James then stole
third. much TO the chagrin of Mr.. Pritchett,
who could not understand how a runner
could slip by him when he had the ball.
Austin has quite a reach with his paw
when he Is sliding for one Of those bases.
He came on home with the fourth run Of
the innirg when Franck grounded out.
Gagnier TO Thomas.
Game n Peculiar One.
When 1t was announced that Raglan and
Bonno were to be the opposing slab artists,
the fans settled back for a duplication OF
the day before. when Sanders and Jones
were In the box. 1t was not to be, how
ever, for II was entirely different. Ragan
was touched up for three hits in the first
inning and three in the third, while Sanders
was touched for but four on the day. Luck
was against Dor Carlos for, although
scarcely a h1 went out Of the diamond, they
were either too slow or too fast to be fielded
Three hit the anatomy of Don Carlos and
bounded out of the reach Of the fielders.
The playing was erratic and the fans saw
a game lost to Lincoln until the sixth in
ming, when there was some hope.
Fisher started the fourth with a base on
balls ard was out at second on Kings
attempt TO sacrifice. Aubrey stunR the ball
safe and Bonno deliberately walked welch,
filling the bases. He evidently thought
Austin would be easier, but Austin fooled
MIN ana nit n hard one right at the gentle
man from southern Italy. KlEg scored.
Pandemonium broke loose, but 1t soon
quieted down, when Captain Franck struck
out on a hit and run signal and Aubrey
was caught trying to come home.
Lincoln Starts EARLY.

inning with two out. Gagnier hit one into

In the second inning Pritchett walked
stole second and came home on Zinran'
single. That is, the umpire said he was home
although he looked out. Iu the fourth
Davidson opened out with a single, which
Fisher let past him. and Davidson went OF
to third. Thomas hunted safe and Davidson
still stayed on third. to be sent home or
Pritchetts single.
