ably be seen on the mound for the
Mickles, while F. Nufer or Mann

Holmes at Plattsmouth.
The Ernie Holmes team, members
of the Greater Omaha league, will
journey to Plattsmouth, Neb., where
they will clash with the fast team
at that place tomorrow afternoon.
The Holmes are in the best of con-
dition and expect to give the home
crew hard game. Jimmy Moore,
who was barred from playing class
B ball, but who is under contract
to the Holmes, will be Manager
Pickett's choice against the Platts-
mouth sluggers.
Marty O'Toole and his all-star
Brandeis team will play at Dunlap,
Ia, Decoration day. Marty will
probably be on the mound for his
warriors. 1t is understood that Dun
lap has a crack team this year and
are out to win every game, but
Manager O'Toole predicts that his
boys will be victorious.
Sunday afternoon the Holmes and
the Brandeis will mix in the open

in the Greater Omaha league at
Thirty and Dewey avenue.
Lefty" Powers, who pitched lat
season for the Lincoln Cleaners and
Dyers, will be on the mound for the
Brandeis while Moore will oppose
him. O'Toole was slated to pitch
ior the Brandeis, but owing to the
stag picnic given by the Brandeis
Booster club Sunday at Tom Quin-
lan's farm, it will be impossible for
the ex-big Lacquer to be seen in ac-
ton.
1t is expected that over 800 en-
ployes with their friends will attend
this annual affair and a jolly time
is looked for. A base ball game be-
tween the employees of the old and
new Brandeis stores will be one Of
the features of the day.
Fifteen Contests.
Fifteen contests are also slated to
take place, including a pie eating
contest, potato and peanut races. To
liven things up considerable, a 20
piece jazz band will be on hand.
Automobiles will leave the store at
$50 o'clock.
Manager O'Toole announced that
he has signed Johnny Hazen, who
recently returned with the Base
Hospital Unit 49 from foreign serv-
ice. Johnny has played amateur
base ball in Omaha for many years
and is an all-around player. He will
be seen at the short station for
that team. Marty is still after sew
eral more fast stars and it is likely
that Eddie Minikus, also a star of
the diamond will probably sign up
