Lincoln News: There is no explain
ing the ability of the St Joe team to
win a majority of it's games from Lin
coin. The Drummers have a habit OF
reserving their dub baseball for other
towns, but when they come to Lincoln
they play the game in bangup style.
That fact is the only apparent solution.
AS presently constituted, st. Joe has no
joke ball club, but considering the rec
ords of the two teams in every de-
partment of the sport, it would seem
that the Antelopes ought to have some
thing on this Holland crew. The scores
fail to show 1t, however which is why
we grieve.
