Minncapolis, 8; Milwaukee, 7. erday was an ideal summer day, one of those days when everybody wants to be out doors, wheroe they can hear the chirping of the littie dickey ening breezes from the praiics fan their classic brows and curl in and out among their whiskors, It was also one of those days made for bali playing, aud the usual tremendous Sunday crowd sauntered out to MeCormick park to watch tho Denvers stumble through a game, And they were not disappointed. They not only saw the Deavers stumble through a game, but the Omahas also, for despite the paucity of marks in the error column, the game was about as bum a one as two first- class teams could put up, But as long as the Lambs won the game it would be idiotic to grumble, for it is games won that makes pennant winners, and that is what we all want to sec Shanuon’s men de- veloo into before the hazy days of October roll 'round. Still, every lover of our great national sport likes better to look on &t a good game, roplete with brilliant work and excit- ing situations, than they do one played out in pure bull-headed luck.” And yet if there is 10 be any bull-headed luck, it is a nice thing 10 see it on our sid And that's whero it was yesterday. Of the Colorado delegition Tebeau and Werrick were the only ones with sufficient move on them to lead the spectators to be- lieve that they were alive, But to White Wings himself belongs the largest gob of glory. He was mad and red- headed, of course, but who wouldn't have been under the circumstances, and yot he played ball all tne time. Batting, fielding aud running bases with the same esprit that marked his early daysin Cincinnati and at the same timo coaching and directing the rest of his men with a keenness and intelli- genee that was deserving of a bocter fate. King Gaffney, while not exactly at his best, was about as edifying as the game itself. His flageolette voice and _the hocus pocus he per- forms with the balls not in use tickled the crowd haif to death. Heo had an exceedingly dificult game to adjudicate and while he made several seeming mistalkes it is dollars to dimes he wasn't off very much in any de- cision he rendered, If either side suffored, however, from the numerous close shaves which bespattered the game 1t was Denver. Still she couldn’t have won the zame under any circumstances, unless four or five of the Lambs broke their legs or some other im- probable interposition occurred, I'be whole mountain outiit from Manager Van down to Keefe and the other bench warmers scemed stiff and sore and out of condition. Onee in the trim of Omaha, Lin- coln, Sioux City or Milwaukee, physically, and they’ll take a hand in the fight them selves. Mark that, Norman Baker and Texas McNabb were the opposing twirlers, and both were as wild as a scart rabbit, MeNabb gave seven men their baso on balls, and smashed four others in various parts of their anatomy, while Nov- man reciprocated with a like number of balls and pasted a couple of more himself, Me- Nabb was hit safely sixteon times, but Nor- man let down for just half that number. S0 you can see the two pitehers wero right in the thickest of the fray. Prompily at half-past 3 King Gaff emerged from the club house, and the crowd gave him another ovation. ' He is never a moment 100 5001, Or & Moment too late, but always on time to the dot, and never shows himself until he makes his appearance, You don’t believe it, well go out this after- noon and see for yourself, “Play ball ! he cried in stentorian tones, and Jinmy Donnelly trotted to the plate, then trowted back to the bench again, his up-‘;lp having fallen into Josephus Werrick's hands. Halligan went. to first on balls, and the crowd clapped its hands, and so did “Old Cy,” and the crowd whooped, and so did Larry, and the crowd roaved. Graelous! but that was fun! Mr. McNabb was just fairly teaving ‘em off. Deacon Grifin folded up the Sunday Sehool Advocate at this critical period, and fclding it nicely he put it in his hip pocket, picked upa conveuient club, and strode to the plate. “Now Sandy, line her out, you kin do it," and a well known voice quavered ameng the rafters, And Sandy aid line her out—a bute—for two bags—and as Jocko and “Old Cy™ ‘waltzed in the crowd shouted itself hoarse. Walsh gave them no chance for vest, for he gracefully pushed out a safe one, and the Commodore joined Haliigan and Sut on the bench, and the Deacon moved on to third. A moment later Joe stole second, and then he and Sandy ran home together on Clark’s safe swipe. Five runs in the first, and Shannon and McCauley a thousand miles away ! Great, wasn't it} Dad burgled second amid the excitement and McNabb again opened his heart and gove Trafiley his base an balls, But the fun ceased right here. Baker was thrown out at first and Jimmy Dounelly, who had furnished the first out, ‘sent a second ona into the air. White Wiugs got it. Then Denver came in and when McClellan struck out as a starter the bleachers began to guy her. 'hey didn’t keep it up very long, though, for Norman sent Werrick to first on a quar: tette of wild ones and Tebeau laid his stick against another for a single, Werrick scored. Baker didu't want McNabb to have any of tno best of it, so he just gave Curtis his base, but in the meantime White Wings had beeu caught lmr ing av second and wos thrown out. Wal ;Sn's error lev Curtis iy, and then the suspeose was about over. White, however, made a bit_but was left, O'Brien being thrown out by Walsh, The sccond was profitiess, so far as Omaha was concorned, but it was Denver's harvest, Lohbeck was the first man to bat, and not liking his looks very well, Baker socked him in the ribs with the ball. *Oh, Hear Me, Norman!" cried the grand stand, Then when he struck McNabb out they laughed and choored merrily. g Littlo recked they of the woe to come. McClellan went to first on balls but was forced at secoond onWerrick's littie tap to ‘Walsh. Then White Wings picked out ui other ripe one, and Lohbeck scored, Curtls }nllll balled to first, and the bags were all ull. The grand stand held its breath. It was a critical juncture. Everybody strained thewr visual organs to see Norman do something, He did it. "He gave White Wings his base and Werrick was forced home. Thero was & mighty groan at that, and a mightier one still, when the next moment McGarr sent up a high one, right inside the diamond, not ten feet from'tho Deacon, and the Deacon let it descend safely to mother earth! Old Cy made a herculoan effort to get it himself, but his legs were too short by Just a yard, and before he could embrace the sphere White Wings and Curtis both had flown 1n, and the bags still held two, Wasn't that Just simply simple! O’Brien strack out, but a soppy blanket had been spread over the spectators, and the achievement was greeted with silonc ‘They thonght the game was lost, just be- canse tne visitors were one ahead, and their l&rfll weore rapidly trickling aown through the crucks in the grand stand. But in the fifth the Lambs forged to the head again, and everything was hilarity and sunshine sgain.

VIRRN GAMES, ansas City Tries to Steal a Game at Lincoln and Fails, Lixcory, Neb., May 3+.—([Special Telegram to Tk Ber.] — Four thousand enthusiastic cranks went out to Lincoln park today to see the Farmers lift Mr. Conway's balls over loft fleld fence, wihile the Cowboys spiced the fun with the biggest, nerviest bunch of scientific baseball tricks yet exhibited here for one price of admission, Collins is not an ideal umpire, but he starched his spinal columy today and the stiffening lasted the game out. Cline made a bit to center that looked like a three-bagger, but Stearns tripped him at first and the umpire sent him to second. Wilson of Kansas City was at second when a kick was started by Manning. While the umpire’s back was turned Wilson picked up the bail, fired it into the field and trotted home, Smith was on first when Stearns sent a grounder to Tomney, who touched Smith and started to make a double play. Smith threw his armns around Tomney, but the um- pire made Stearns also leave his bag. In th 1d innine Burkett's bunt, Dave Rowe's sacrifico, Tomue; tripple and Roach’s double netted two runs. In the fourth Pickett’s fumble gave Dave Rowo a lift, and Tommey's hit over tho fence tallied two more. In tho fifth Cline's aouble, Carpenter's butterfingers, singled by Brothers Jack and Dave, a safo one by Tomney and a four-sacker by Stafford piled up six scores. In the ninth doubles by Juck Rowe and Burkett and a single by Dave Rowe knocked out two more, The Blues began scoring in the third, Con- way muking the rounds on a single, n wild throw and a fumble. In the firth a hit, a bt out and the trick mentioned brought 'in Vilson. In the sixth Foster scorad on doubles by himself and Stearns. In the sev- enth a hit, a hole in Jack Rowe's legs, an- other single and doublo play let Carpenter reach homo and mamma. in the eighth a double and single let in Foster.

Mayor Mosby Makes Good His Talk About Sunday Game: » 0., May 24.—More than two thousand ' people paid admis- sion to the association ball grounds toduy. Each one on entering the gute recoived a ticket containing an order for a refund of his admission foe'in case the game was prevented by police interference, and an hour later each one used his ticket in obtaining the refund. The Athletics made the run from Philadet- phia in the uparalleled time of elghteen hours. They went to batand pl?ld the first inuing without making a run. he Cincaa- natis theu played till two men were out. At that moment Colonel Phil Dorsch surerintendent of police, commanded & cap tatn to march 8 company of bluo coats to tho front in line of battio ui carry arms. When this force halted on the verge of the fleld of operations, Colonel Dorsch very quietly in- formed the players that they wore under | arrost, and must goto the station house. | The game stopped ut once, the plavers changed their clothing and’ went to the station houso in tho omuibuses that had | brought them to the grounds. The spectators smiled good naturedly and the crowd soon melted away. There was no show for resistance, nor was any disapprobation manifestod by the specta- tors, There were sixty poiice under the command of the captains on the grounds and outside were three police patrol wagons well manned and o quadron of mounted police under the command of a captain. Everybody seemed entertained by the military mancuvers of the police as they moved from point to point. The players were not humiliated by being driven through the city, but wero atlowed to drive to the earest station, There they wero released on a bond of £00 cach to appear before the police court tomorrow. r. Ottoo K Belz signed their bonds, which aggregated £,400. "It 1 said that Mr. Renau, the presi- dent of the club, will demand a trial by yury and that in Cinciunati on questions involv- g the Sunday laws usually means a dis- agreement. “Tho reason for allowing both clubs to play was to obtain evidence of an overt violation of the Sunday law.

The winning score was made with one man out. Blair tried a new_pitcher a few innnings—Harry Conners, of Nowman Grove, who is going to make a pitcher that you read about. He plays for Blair this scason as short and changes with pitcher. In fact all the nine did good ball playing.

All who saw Milwaukee play in Omaha last summer will relish this deseription of id. Thornton’s delivery, It was written by Leonard Washburne for tho Chicage Iuter- Ocean, and describes Thorntou in actiton exactly : A man numed Edward Thornton was the brick wall that stood across the capn’s line of march. Edward has a brindle complexion and a chin that seems to be playing some dis- tance off the buse, and his figure resembles that of a keg of nails. But somehow when he fixes his eyes on the batter and cmits the ball thore nearly always follows a sound as of a man wthxlInu the wind. It is a queer thing about Edward’s work that his balls seom to have scarcely tne stamina to arrive y minutes. home. Edwnrd gots the ball and walks back to his quarters after the manuner of a mun with the cramps. Then he s 4 joke with the shortstop and counts people on the west bleachers. Then he ough Then lio wearlly ab the batsma arressos his hes with his off hand, swi his right luzily, shuts his eyes, and starts for the tles his shoestrings and runs his hand t his hair to see if he noeds a hair-cut, gazes “I'm sorry for anghody ovor In that cab- bage pitel,” thinks the batsman. He watchoes the ball working jaborlously through the air, culeulates its trajoctory, scrows his feet in the ground, and lets go.
