Norfolk 9, Neigh 3.

Neigh, Neb., April 24.-SpeciaI TO
The News: The second baseball
game Of the season took place in this
city at Riverside park Saturday after
noon, when the high schools of Nor
folk and Neigh clashed on the dia-
mond for supremacy before a large
crowd Of fans.
At no stage of the game was there
the slightest hopes of the home boys
ed from the start, and the individual
playing instead of team work, coupled
with numerous bone head plays on
the part OF Neigh arises the ques-
ton how they managed to get the
three measely scores recorded them.
Despite the fact that the many ques-
toned decisions on balls and strikes
made by the umpire for the visitors,
is no excuse whatever. 1t was plain
ly demonstrated that he did the best
he could if he had but meager knowl.
edge of the game. Not until the last
half of seventh inning was Neigh
allowed to score, and Norfolk rolled
up four in the first.
Mike" Jenkins pitched his usual
good game, and aside from being wild
at times, did better than during the
Atkinson-Neligh game the week prev
ious. Catcher Fred Sellery was
steady at all times. The battery work
of the visitors was of excellent quality
and were the main factors of their
team. Following is the score by in
uings:
Norfolk. ....... 400 1OO2 0 %
Neigh. .......,. 900 0 90 / 0-3
Batteries: Norfolk. Keleher and
