In the first half of the tenth Ne

man in, and the intense feeling OF

worth going miles to experience.
Martin made two-baes hit; Mey-

Tom) was sent to the bat, and the
excitement was at fever heat. AS

While the last game of the Ne
braska City series was not as per-
feet an exhibition of the national pas
time as the two former contests, it
was nevertheless an exciting strug-
gle.
The hard rain on Friday night had
put the diamond in wretched shape,
and fast playing was out of the
question.
Black aud Meyers were in the
points for the locals while Collier
and Walters officiated for the
Brewers
A series of errors, combined with
two clean hits netted the visitors
two in the first The locals came
right back with three, due to two
hit basemen, two errors and a hit.
In the second Nebraska City went
into the lead again by scoring two
runs after the side should have been
retired. The game see-sawed again
in the third making the score five
to four. The lead of one run was
maintained until the seventh when
Black hit The first man up, and the
second drove in the run by a three
base smash to deep left center. At
this point Annis sent Black to the
bench and called in Miller This
was a wise move, for while Black ap-
parently had everything in the way
of curves, he was putting the ball
squarely over the plate and the Wis
itors were Strengthening them out
with alarming regularity. If he had
worked the corners as Duran and
McCabe done he would have beey
entitled to shut out.
