Fort Omaha GridirOn

Fort OulHIltl OrlaAfOns
There will be plenty of foot ball at Fort
Omaha his afternoon. First game, su-
periors VS.. Papilllon; second game
Soldiers Of Company A. VS.. Soldiers of
Company II. The Fort Omaha gridiron
is now inclosed and small admission
fee will be charged to defray expenses
and buy a few smokes for the par
Elephants. The gridlron was moved over
close to the grandstand and bleachers so
now LOCO foot ball devotees can be COM
fortably seated. The first squabble be-
tween the Superlors and the Papillions
will be an interesting affair. After this
row the soldiers will go into battle. Last
week another team was organized at
Fort Omaha and now two teams roll
around on the gridiron every day get
| ting in shape to maui THE Omaha gladi-
ators. The team that wins today's strug-
gle will clash with the Shamrocks at
Rourke park on next Sunday.
Today the Monmouth Park herd will
glide down to Missouri Valley. Already
| this season the Missouri Valley children
have ruined the hopes of a trio of Omaha
aggregations and they don't think that
they will have much trouble wiping the
Monmouth Parks off the map.
Today the Excelsiors will buck up
against the huskies at woodbine. The
Excelsiors will be out beefed at Wood
bine. but they expect to make up the
deficiency in beef with speed. The
Woodbines have already slipped one over
on two Omaha local aggregations,
namely, the Defenders and Belmonts, and
they are of the opinion that they can
| inf
the Excelsiors home with a downcasi
contenance.
