Games at Fort Omaha.
Things will be rather lively in the base
ball line at Fort Omaha this afternoon
Two excellent duels are on the bill of fare
the first OF which will be between the Far
rell Syrups and the Americans and the sec
ond event will be between the Hollys and
| Spaldings. Last seasons champs the sticky
chaps, are going after the rag from the
| jump off Therefore. the Americans will
have to turn on the pepper and sprinkle
themselves with little ginger in order to
snag todays battle. All the I-told-you-so
lads stand pat with the decision, that the
Holys will clean the spaldings, but they
want to remember that occasionally Mr.
| Luck visits the weak
Game Mt Benson.
| Next Sunday out at the Benson ball park
the j. d. Cross team will open the season
with the spaldings. These two teams are
about evenly matched. consequently hard
fought battle for the winning number is
anticipated
Two games of base ball will be the main
attraction for the Bensonites this afternoon.
/ The mixes will be pulled off at the Ben
son park, which is opposite Krug park. In
| the first debate the Townsends and the
Council Bluffs Invincibles will don their
war paint and fight for nine rounds. This
| game should be a hair-raiser from the tap
of the gong until the last lad enters the
out column. Hanson. the State Lacquer, will
start the fracas for the Invincibles and II
the weather moderates he will stick till
the final act. The old reliable Moriarity
will sling the pellets for the Gunners. I'm
mediately after the first fuss, couple of
other local squads will hitch. oCander and
Frank Gibson are booked to do the in
| dicator stunt
Other Clashes.
Today the Royal Archates and the Up
dixie Flour Merchants will collide. These
two teams are Of about the same caliber,
so tough battle for supremacy is looked
for.
on the turf in the Florence base ball
theater the Advos and the Long & Voase
gangs will meet. Both squads are anxious
for the hour that the debate is scheduled
for the roll in, as they have been telling
each other all week what they intended
to do.
That Shamrock lineup looks fine and
dandy on paper. and they will probably
make all the surrounding crews go some
and then some more to cop the gravy.
Such stars as Kennedy, Yost, Pagan,
futile, Smith, Pike and Mayfield adorn
their roster, and the aforementioned sure
form an excellent nucleus around which a
wonderful team can be built. For .tussles
