THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MAY 6, 1888,-~SIXTEEN PAGES. MEAT FOR THE MILWAUKEES. First Defeat For Omaha in the Championship Race. BUT IT WAS A VERY HOT GAME. The Visitors Earn Their Three Runs in the Pirst Inning By Hard Hie ting—Other Interesting Sporting News, Milwaukee 8, Omaha 2. Just about as hot and close a game as one would wish to see was played on the local grounds yesterday between Omaha and Mil- wauke There was only one disagrecable feature about it, and that was that Milwaukee won. But she had to fight all she knew how, and Omaha died awfully hard, The Cream City boys were more surprised than anyone else. They knocked outthe game in the first inning. They bunched the hits, and bunched hits are a @moralizing factor in this great American game of ours. About one thousand people witnessed the straggle. Burdick pitched splendidly, all but the first fnning, and how they did punch him in that. Oh, mama! Homer, 0o, twirled ag.if his life depended on it, and just when a hit was most needed be'd fool the Omahogs. . Tho game teemed with protiy pieces of fielding and some poor ones, too, The batting light and buse running a hazardous under- taking, so agglutinative was the softened s0il. But the strife was thrillingly uncer- tain until Burdick made the last outona throw from short to first, and the audience swas worked up to a pitch of excitement bor- dering on frenzy. But this is tho way the catastrophe over- took our pets: When the umpire called play Burns stepped up to the plate, butsat down again almost immediately on ' weak drive to the pitcher, who tossed him out at flrst. But there wasa great roar went up when Sowders smashed Yhe ball to left field for two bags. Then everybody cried **ho! ho!” when Horner hit Annis with the ball, and fairly yelled as if they'd crack their throats when O'C nnell linad out a safe one, on which Sowders ambled down to third, = But that ended the fun; a moment later O’Connell was caught at second and Miller was extinguished by Foster's throw to first. Then the Milwaukees came in, and it seemed as if they never would go out again. Foster sct the ball rolling by fouling out to Burns That was all right, and the people jubilantly cried “ah thero 1" g But Lowe he knock all the happiness out of the crowd. g The second ball Burdick fired at him he caught it fair on the end of his bat and it went like a rifle shot out, out, out, until it wont over the right field fence and actually ricochetted from tho eaves of the roof off into the mud in the alleyway. It was the longest hit made on the grounds forlo! these many moons, and proud Mr. Lowe strutted home with ‘a what-do-you-think-of- me smile on his face that made many of the audience sick at the stomach. | But this was not the worst of it. Lowe's grand _drive secmed to weaken Burdick's od right arm for a moment, and Strauss R him safe; then he stole second by a shave and came home on Davin's hit. It now came fast and furious. Maskrey rapped out a sufe one, Pettie hit to pitcher and made first while Davin was being thrown out at third, Maskrey, of course, reaching second on the play. _Justhere Cusick happened along with the fifth safo hit in this inning and Maskrey score, what proved to be the win- niug run of the game. Homer terminated the torture by fouling out to (}_l\!ltlh:llL In the ond Shannon obligingly flew out to Pettie, Doran was retired from s cond to first, Burdick got his base on balls, and Gas field was hit by a pitched ball, but this the bome team nothing as Burns was casily squelchied by Foster w Cusick. Of course the Milwaukees did not do thing in thow lalf, ouly Warner made a scratch safe hit, the last ‘one they made in the game. Just think of it Burdick was hit safe five times in the first, and but oneo n the whole game afterwards. In the third, after Sowde: heen retired, O'Connell and came home on a two-bagger by Mille This ended runegetting, for try as hav thoy might the Omuhogs could nov get an- othier man across the plate. Aggravatin, n't it And then 1,000 people went away from the ark sad and dispirited. They had secn a I:ul and stubborn game, but what consolation that when the other fellows and Annis had de his second hit, is there in win it? Follo be found the official score OMATIAL Burns, If..

The Leavenworth club arrived from the south last night and are quartered at the Capital hotel, at which place the Lincoln club has headquarters, Captain Sylvester has for the past two weeks had the home team at active practico, and it is expected and predicted that the boys are in fine form for the fray.

There is no other sport in existence which has beeu characterized by more curious chanees, strange coincidences and untoward and unexpected events than base ball. They abound in every department of the game,and include its cvery possible vhase. Nor have they been confined to the later days of ball pPlaying but onthe contrary they have char- acterized the sport from its very beginning. Thus the first game in which more than nine innings were requived to decide it was played between the old Gotham and Knickerbocke clubs of New York, on June 80, 1504, being wou by the former in sixteen innings. Of late years these extra inning games haye presented some of the most remarkable fea- tures known in conncction with ball. In Louisville, K the Louisyilles and Mutual clubs fifteen in- nings and making five runs cach agreed to postpone the game till Monday, July 10,wh they met again and were compelled to play sixteen more innings,the Mutuals finally win- niug this thirty-one inning game by a score of 8 t0 . The most noteworthy game in the history of the leaguo was that between Providence and Detroit, played in the former city Au- gust 17, 1553, Nota run was made till the cighteenth inning, and then Radbourn, who vecently ercated 30 much talk in base ball circles by failing for’ long time to come to ¢ Boston management, hit a left fleld fence, making & home game for Providen nothing. This wa the longest professional contests on Oue of the longest games that ¢ place was one pluyed in Philadeiphia on the grounds of Girard college, between the club of that mstitution and an tour organiza- ion known as the Yeager, on Juno 2 Tyventy-one innings had 1o be the Yeager proved victorious by a sco 10 7. O'Brien and Milligan, the catel these young teams on that occasion, have since beeome professionals. O'Brien is with the Haltimores and Miliizan is scratch- ing for the Browns. But the most re markable extra inning game on record was one between the Harvard college team and Manchester, N. H., club, on May 11, 1877, in which year, by the way, there weré more of these proloiged contests than in any corresponding period in the Listory of base ball. ‘Twenty-four invings were played with- run being made. As usual in such s & very soft ball was used and few hits of the Huy twelflil innin men-—~the. oue playerina with the Philad 0 pu ut thirty-six umber e credited to lphiu teani. Dayton and Tronton clubs, at Dagton, O., September 19, 1884, only forty- seven minutes being required for the entire nine innings. The Famous O1d Reds, In a chat about the famous Cincinnati Reds of 1800 Harry Wright says: “That team was rather easy to handle, although Sweasy and Leonard would occasionally kick over the tracos,and Doug Allison had to be treated very gingerly at times. It was not an expen- ¢ nine, either. My brother George re- ceived the highest salary—$1,000—and they ran from his figures down to $800. I have here a memokandum of our expenses and re- ceipts during 1870, We took in $20,726.26 and spent $20,724. The team cost $3,062.20,and we paid out in traveling expenses $2,212.53 Among other expenditures that year was #7175 for gymnasium, so yéu see that the claim that tho St. Lows was the first to send its players to such a place is unfoundéd. “All the members of the club are alive to day. George. as you know, is in Boston in business for himseif; Gould is a deputy sher- iff in Cincinnati; Waterman bas a saloon in the same city; Allison isback in Philadelphia athis old trade, marble cutting; Leonard is a clerk in the water board of Newark ainerd, the last time Iheard from him, s running a Billiard roon on Staten Island ; is, 'think, working at his trade: keeps a saloon in San Francisco, and the substitute, I believe, is a lawyer in Cincinnati. The nine disbanded after 1570; part of the team went to Boston with me and the others to Washington. It was & great team and its record still remaing unequalied.” Menges on Top. So far the smaliest kind of crowds have at- tended the American association games at Kansas City, and this is what O. P. Cay] has to say with reference to the condition of things down there: : [ believe my predictions are to be verified that the American association made a sacri- fice of its interests for the sake of playing in the Brooklyn club’s pockets when it accepted Kansas City as the new city. The chances are decidedly good that Kansas City will be a big loser from the start as an American association member. ‘The Western league club is bound to pull off a big slice of base Dall patronage, and there is not enough_alto- getlier to run one good salaried club. Kansas City is one of the most booming cities in America to-day, but somehow they dont go 80 much on base ball up there as they do in other towns. The people are probably too busy building houses and digging down bluffs to the street level. There is certainly at this time two patrons in Kansas City for the ‘Waestern league club to one for the Associa- tion club. This is an undeniable fact."” ‘What 1s an Amateur. H._ M. Sands, of North Sixteenth street, writes to know what an amateur athlete is, and as there is a wide difference in the defi- nitions of authorities, Tie Bee will publish, for his benefit, the following rule adopted by the Amateur Athletic Union of America: “One who has not entered in au open com- ion; or for either a stake, public or ad- mission money, or entrance fee, or under a fictitious name; or has mot yet competed with or against a_professional for any prize, or where admission fee is charged; or who has not instructed, pursued, or assisted in the pursuit of athlétic exer- cises as a means of livelihood, or for gaiu or any emolument; or whose membership of any athletic club of any kind was not brought about and does not. continue, be- cause of any mutual understanding, express or implied, whereby his becoming or_ con- tinuing a member of such club would be of iary benefit to him whatever, di- and who shall in other re- Amateur Sports.

The Cincinnatis seem to be getting to their Brouthe horsefiesh, On the recommendation of Van Haltren Chicago has engaged George Borchers, the famous pitcher of 'Frisco, and wired him to start at once. Young Sowders has a drop delivery that will puzzle the best batters of the league. Caruthers, Boston’s high-priced pitcher, is pitching the losing games for his club. TLeft fielder Whitney, late of Des Moines, has signed with the Hutchinson club. 1t looks ineredible, but eight clubs can be arranged in 40,320 combinations, Fred Goldsmith, ex-pitcher for the Cchicago team, is pitching for Hot Springs Ex-Umpire Dicky Pearce has been over- looked by all of the minor leagues.

Manager Morbill thinks the Bostons are strouger in the pitcher’s box than any club in the league. Ho has quite an array of talent in Clarkson, Madden, Radbourn, Couway and Sowders. Dunlap asserts that he received half of his purchase money from Detroit, and that this Wil make his total income for the season from ball playing, Despite his matrimonial troubles Latham's spirits have suffered no diminution. He is said to be more loquacious and fresher than eves Manager Watkins proposes playing Jim White behind the batand placing Gaunzel on third base. The wisdom of the move is ques- tionable.

The Chicago Western Assaviation club has signed Pitcher Dyyer, of last season's La Crosse ¢ =3, and Hanrahan, a Chicago colt, for the Maroons. Dwyer is a promising pitchor, and Hanrahan a general player. Esterbrook is promised a warm_rcception by Windy City cranks when he appears in Chicago. Sullivan, who was struck by Ester- brook, is to be given a handsome present the first time he steps to the home plate. Clarkson is devoting an hour or two _cvery evening in instructing Eli Sowders, and he asserts that he will make one of the finest pitchers out of the young Hoosier that ever pitched a ball. All'the Boston players look upon Sowders as one of the coming pitchers. The Detroit players don't like Deckers umpiring, and Hanlan an Brouthers werc fined §10 each in one of the Pittsburg games for persistent and unnecessary kicking. Watkins, as_usual, is formost in_kicking against the umpiring, and accusses Decker of being a home umpire, Latham says King is a better Carutliers ever was or ever will be. has Bobby done to the clown! In Indianapolis the term ““bleaching boards" has been tabooed. “Terrace” is what the free seats are now called. The friends of losing clubs now content themselves with the old adage that a bad be- ginning results in a good ending. Hornung is_getting his second wind. He never played better in his life than he does this spring. Mike Kelly is playing a much stronger game this than last, when he was handi- capped by the empty honor of captain. Pete Browning was fined &5 by Manager Kelly for allowing himself to be caught uap- ping at second in last Saturday’s game. Manager Watkins says the St. Louis club will not play the ball in June they are play- ing now. The Indianapolis_club was the first to play an absolutely errorless game. The feat w accomplished against BufTalo, April 18. The Chicagos are in perfect physical con- dition, not a man being in tho least di abled.’ That speaks well for Anson’s man- agement. Jack Rowe has gotten himself exceedingly disliked in_Cincinnati, and not a da; passes but what tho Cincinnati papers roast him. Pete Donahue is authority for the state- ment that about. half of the professional pitcliors chew. gum_when they are in the box. O'Rourke, pitcher than What of the Bostons, is throwing better than any of the Boston catcher With Kelly’'s quickness he would be un rivalled. The Minneapolis and St. Paul club are playing a 'sories of seven games for the championship af the Twin Cities. St. Paul won the first ggme on the 2ith by 7 to 6 in eleven innipgs, Minneapolis won the second. Cleveland has a great catcher in Zimmer. He is not only reliable backstop, but a very quick ‘and accurate thrower to bases, as well as a good batsman. The scorers dre a unit in their denuncia. tions of the rule calling a base on balls a fac- tor in an cdrned’ run, and at the same time crediting the pitcher with an error. The Kansas €ity Americans did great work at Cincinnati yesterday, making only twenty- four errors in the nine innings. And it wasn’t an off day cither. e Ty TURF AND TRACK. Thé Nashville Races.

JOHN'S CHUROH. The Magnificent Edifice Will Be Dedi- cated To-Day. On the last Sunday of June, less thana year ago, possibly the hottest of the season, the corner-stone of St. John's collegiate church was laid, on the California side of Creighton college campus. To-day the church will be dedicated, and when admitted within its walls, the public will have an opportunity of viewing the handsomest Catholic church in this part of the country. The style is gothic and the material stono from Warrensburg, Mo. At present the structure is but 112 feet in length by 75 feet in width, with a nave of sixty-two feet. The plan, however, comprehends a building 184 fect long, with a width at the transcept of 198 feet, which give it & cruciform o enable the more casily of the design, the north wall is of but temporary nature and consequently may be ensily removed to permit of the desired extension, The front of the structure has handsomely designed. It lacks the profu ness of detail which_ the style encourages, but preserves enough of them to distinguish the order and illustrate the ideas of eleganco and stability which scem to have been en- tertained by the managing wmind. On the southeast corner stands a quadrilat- eral tower, supported by buttrosses and broken by a few windows of va de- signs. This is intended to rise to a height of 100 feet, an octagonal spire, surmounted by a cross, to rest upon the stonework now com- pleted. The latter has an appearance of sol- idity which is sustained by a depth of founda- tion and thickness of wall which promise to sustain the superimposed weight for many a year. Through this tower thero is an en- trance to the choir as also to the body of the church, though the main_ door is further west, beneath a pediment which is, as yet, incomplete. On this it is intended to place a life-sized statue of the patron saint of the church, To the west of the main is another entrance, beside which stands a tower, which has been completed and which rises to a height of eighty-eight feet. This is now sur- mounted by a gilt cross as 1s also the apex of the roof over the middle entrance. Tho roof pitches at an angle of forty-five degrees, and is covered with slate, Inside the entrance there is un ample vestibule with double doors opening outward from from the church, and over these is an elaborate tracery in ained glass in which are delicately” intertwined the letters A.
