mesnder up to the University grounds
this afternoon and endeavor to hand the
Royal Achstes solar plexus blow. The
Long & Voase are a new combination re-
Gently organized, therefore their ability is
OF an unknown quantity. but it is a safe
bet they will have to so some to hand the

oatchers: Moran, pitcher; Kaer. first base;

Game ~ Benson.
At the Benson Eagles base ball park
this afternoon the Hollys and the Council
Bluffs Invincibles will battle. The boys
from across the muddy intend to live up to
their monicker. but they will find II hard
skating to trim the Hollys. Up to date
nothing definite is known about the plans
Of the Benson Eagles At first Madam
Rumor had it that they intended to spread
their wings and fly from the kingdom OF
base ball, but now things have changed
for the better. From present indications
IL looks as though the Eagles will have
flock Of birds of their own in about two
weeks. All the games played at the Ben
son Eagle park will be umpired by OCan-
der. He signed up last week to do the Of
fetal stunt. Today the Farrell Syrups will
open the season with the Rangers. Willard
Quigiey, the leader of the molasses kids
appointed Bert McAndrews captain and
under his generalship the bunch will make
sprint for the championship rag that Will
be hard to beat. The game will be the last
event OF ooupte-neauer Scneuuleu at
Benson park for this afternoon.
COIumBias Change Name.
The Columbia base ball team win be
known the coming season as the J. S.
Crosses and they expect to win even more
fame under the new name than under the
old. With a few exceptions most Of the
old players win be back in the field. Coady,
the fast second baseman. who broke his
lex during a game the latter part OF last
season, is still under the doctors care,
and his timely hitting and fast fielding
will be greatly missed the coming year.
Fitzgerald will be on the mound again and
II is a sure bet that this department viii
be well taken care of. Behind the bat
Maurice Miller. who established quite a
name for himself last year. will don the
mask and mitt and will be ably assisted
by the old reliable, Mike Dlneen. The hard
hitting Jody Pospisil will cover the initial
sack and will also manage the crew. The
probable lineup: Pospisil, first base; WEIGH,
second base; Platts, third base: Murphy,
shortstop; Daugherty, right field Harvard
center field Daley. left field; Fitzgerald
pitcher Dlneen and Miller, catehers. For
games address 1906, South Sixth street, OF
