Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1911-08-06

scheduled double-header. On last SUNDAY
the Benson team failed to~interrupt the
victorious stride of the storz, still they
showed that they had a good team II their
pitching staff was more effective. SO
early last week Chris Lyck was out after
a twirler, ready TO pay the right man any
justifiable amount. Dyke will probably
twirl every other Sunday for awhile. The
lads from the slaughter town are consid-
dered one of the fastest teams around this
reservation, and with Peanuts Mason in the
box they will certainly show the native
birds of Benson a warm conflict. Immedi-
ately after the first match the Brodegaard
Crowns and the Omaha Grain Exchange
will glide together for the first time this
season. Since the Brodegaards have
received their new uniforms they have
been prsncing over the diamond with
more success. The Grain men have been
playing a fair game of ball.
