Notes From Lincoln.
After roosting in their hotel for two
days on account of an over-supply of
rain, the Topekans forgot just how
they were working their winning ma
chine and with the assistance of
Twirler Dawson of the Lincoln Tigers
dropped the first game OF the Lincoln
Topeka series here Friday.
Dawson was tight at all times, de-
spite the fact that errors the part
of his teammates put him in hot wa
ter on two occasions. Grover pitched
a neat game but punched hits coupled
with a bobble in the first round
proved his undoing.
Dawson struck out three men in the
third, Grover, Trainer and Jackson.
Cochran singled in this round and
stole second. He was stalled there.
Daley. Lincoln's new outfielder.
made his bow to the Western League
Friday. He halls from the Column
bus American Association club. He
was obtained to cover the third corner,
but Lloyd'S enforced absence on &C
count of a twisted ankle caused Man
ager Mcintyre to send Daley to second,
keep Kruger on third and send
Heinie Schneider back to his old place
in center field.
The Savages threatened in the
fourth. Mayer, first up. singled but
was forced at second by Rapps. Latti-
timore doubled to the left field boards,
Rapps going to third. Roche dumped
the ball in front of the plate and Nc
Allister got it in time to tag Rapps out
between third and the plate. Roche
went to second on the play but Mon
roe famed.
The Savages were busy again in the
sixth. Mayer reached first on Will
1iams' error, but Rapps hit into a
double play, Daley, to McGaffigan to
Williams. baltimore walked and
Roche singled, baltimore going to sec
ond. A passed ball advanced both
runners a notch but Monroe grounded
out.
