SHANAHAN LOST A NUNDRED Bermingham's Gang Lammed the Life Out the Nonpareils Yesterday. JELLEN'S PITCHING WAS MUCH TOO EASY Mg Broms Hammered the South End ©Carves and Backed Up Threlr Mistah Miller In Good Style—Deo- talls of the Gamo, WAS IT CLOSE? About as close as from here to Des Mo Iam spenking of that 100-case game between the Con- ventions and Non- pareils at the driv- ing park yestorday afternoon. It was a lovely day for ball playing and there was a great array of old-timo cranks on hand to witness the sport—proba- bly somewhere in the neighborhood of a thousand of them. Everybody expected to see the twoold rivals get the game by the nape of the neck nnd the fundamental basis of the breeches nnd yank it all around that half mile track. They thought it would be a blood-curdling battle from start to finish, as the feeling that has existed betvoen tho two teams all season has been anything but lamb-like. 1t was virtually a scrap bevween the north end and south end of the town, and when the smoke rolled away it would have been diffi- cult to locate the south end on the mup. Some thought Shanahan's pets should have played better ball, but I don’t know. They fought hard and died hard, ana might bo living yet had they been able to baste the Benegambian at the proper time. Lycurgus pitched a splendid game. So did Jellen, generally, but the Brumma- gems got his range at the wrong timo—that is for the Nonparei Shanuhan's Only Show. The game began right at the beginning, as strange as that may appear. ‘Captain Creighton opened up by letting Harry Gatewood's third strike escape into the bed of lycopodiums in the rear of the backstop and Harry landed safe on the first corner. But a load of coal ran over Artie's hand yesterday afternoon, and of course he couldn’t be expected to hold everything in sight. Gatewood was feeling pretty gay over this bit of good luck, so he just dug his heels into Douglas county and before Artie could get the ball down he was on second. Then Jack McAuliffe sacrificed him in another vinety feet, and Tom and Jerry Mahoney's out ticketed him across the platter. A large, well-defined shout went up from the partisans of the south at this—a regular rebel yell. Jellen’s out from Andrew Jackson Carri- gan to first broughtin the Bermingham family. Paddy Dotan lifted one up to Jack Me- Auliffe. It looked big and swollen like a ripe doughnut, but Jack, having no basket with him, let it sink into the sear and yellow zra Mr. Jeilen grew quite diathermanous over this decomposed play and lost his head some- where between his ‘shirt coilar and cravat long enough to soak both Stoney and Lawler with the ball. “He's goin’ to kill 'em?" cried a big Brum trom the bleachers; then as Jellen missed the plate by about three yards four times in succession, and forced in_Paddy Dolan, he switched his mouth across his face and ex- claimed: “No, he aint, he's going to throw the game!” And when Coal Oil Jonnny Stoney ambu- lated home on Robinson's grounder to Gate- wood, it was all the crowd could do to keep him frow eating his umbrella. Lawler, too, tried to squeeze in on this play, but’ Harry killed nim at the plate. Artie, however, got to third. Dave Died for the Moment. Jeff Davis then came up, and without much ceremony swatted one down to Shanahan. "The captain saw it coming, like a big, funnel- shaped cloud, but instead of diving head first after the sphere like I would have done, he stood as still as the big eagle on the New York Life. For a brief moment there was a total abolition of sensation or voluntary mo- tion on Captain Dave's part, but whether this was induced by a suspension of the functions of the cerebrum resulting from congestion or ruptured blood vessels as he thought of the high old time that hundred cases would occasion down at Bermingham's liquid emporium in the evening I cannot s Anyway, he nover evinced a sign of life until Dawvis’ hit rolled up against his shins like a big prize pumpkin. Then he snatched at it, selzed it by the throat, choked it until it was black and blue in the tace, kicked it the pants once or twice, then slammed it over to the waiting Mr. Flynn. But too late; when Melancthum Flyna drew the ball to his heaving bosom, Jeffer- son D, was glued to first, whilo Michael l(lglsy Robinson was in the same fix on sec- bnd. At this juncture loud and swelling anthems arose from the north end. Awidst the din Kelley tore off third, and Artie ran home. Then there were some more ar.thems, Jackson Carrigan died as quickly and eas- 11y us if he had been stung by an asp, put o Bowman's safe punch to right, Robbie Kelley' carried in‘the fourth tall; Lycurgus, foxy boy, retired on a little push to Shanahan, and the south ends came back to see what they could do. Nonps Braced Up a Moment. Captain Dave was the first "Pareil to wield . his club, but all he could do was to bump large warts on the side of the atmosphere, ond he fell bAck to the bench gritting his teeth like an ncrosacrus, a bird that used to mwake its haoitat down in the Third ward when Omaha was a bounding prairie, Bradford iooked wan and pale, and Ly- ourgus, in sympathy, maae him a present of a bag, ‘wnd “an untamed pitch shoved him along o thi Mr. Lacey, as graceful as Bacchus him- self, was the next man to pose before Ly- curgus. ‘There was a mean look in his eye, and when Mistah Millah unbuckled the ball ho smote it 5o hard that it looked like u link of bologna us it shot out into the opalescent west. 1t lnaked good for the round trip, but so agile was young Mr. Lawler, and so deftly did bo handle the maltreated globe that Lace was only able to make socoud on the swito, Bradford, of course, coming home. Here the south end emitted volumes of dissonant sound. They were so glad Lo see their young men act like ball players instead of shoemukors. Big Croft threw out hischest like Hercules swhen he slew the lion on the slope in Boeotia as he faced Lycurgus, but the best he could do was to trundle a puny, s little grounder to first. But Mickey Fly was mado out of different stuff, and he Eool‘l‘ned the ball like Deuver Kd Smith hit dard, and as the ball tore its way through ' tho odorous helianthus plauts in Jeft Davis' garden, Lacey skated bome, and Mickey mado for first. “Of course ho got nd would have gone on o second, coronet fell off during the flight, and his hairgetting tangled up with his whiskers, he was afraid of runniug out of line. It was enough, however, to set jaws of the south eud iv motion again. But the 'Pareils could get no further, as Dolan fired Mr. Gatewood aut at first, In their bulf the Brums became oo much interested in the balloon that rose heaven- ward from Courtland’s surf-washed beach, and the Shanahans shut 'em out. Bermingham Nalled 1t Down. ‘The third and the fourth adaed nothing to the 'Pareils grand total, but in these innings the Brums plled up another quartet, three in the third and one in the fourth, on a base on balls, two loud evrors, a hit by a pitched l\mu.umu shree-cushion drive by iKelley Kob- uson. In the fifth Corrigun flubbod up & fork ful) of huy iustead of the ball when Croft sent it down Lo bim, and be had to wake & sevond snatch st it He got iu this thwe, but threw wido and Croft was out of harm's way. Flynn toyed with the breezes, but Gate- wood plugged her safe, and MeAuliffe slashed out & two-sacker, which resuited n the most brilliant display of pyrotechnics during the game. Croft scampered home on this famous drive, and Gatewood attempted to do the same, but Robinson made a quic revurn of the ball to Dolan, and Dolan fired it down o Artie and Harry breathed his within a half foot of home. But that wa; all, for on MeAulife's endeavor to mako ck to Paddy Dolan and Ja ent Ut 100 It was a ereat double, and evoked the bined cheers of the crowd 1t's nll Over Now, But thero is not much more to be told Tho game from this on out went in gobs and nunks to the Conventions, Boman made a beautiful unassisted double play in the eighth, and in their half Mike Kelley Robin- son, who for a change olayed finely all through the game, smashed out a homer with three men on bases. It was a long drive to right, and when the young com- ball got back ft looked flat and pulpy, like those uncanny specimens uarchaeologists dig up in the volite formatious The score: © CONVENTIONS.

THEY'RE WELL MATCHED, Creodon and Greggalns Who Moet at Roby To ht on Even Torms, Tonight's fight at Roby between Alex Greggains and Dan Creedon should furnish an evenly balanced contest. The great disparity in height and reach which so many of Greggains’ friends harped on failed to materialize on actual measure- ments, and physically the men are more of a match than was at first expected. Greggains is taller by two inches, but whon tho men shupe at the call of timo in the first round he Il apparently appear to tower over reedou by at least five or six inches. Th by their different position Greggaius stands up straight, his body pears to lean toward his opponent. has the effect of making him look taller than he really is. Creedon seems to stand more solid on his feet and from his waist up he inclines his_body well back, with his left shoulder high: than his right. ‘This makes him appea; eral inches Gireggains' inferior in_height, when in reality there is but littie difference. In other respeets they break even, with the xcoption of the chest measurements, in ) Creedon has quite an advantage. The ing fact developed by the mea was in the length of the ch possessed by cach. Most of the sport- ing writers have in their articlos of the last month set off Creedon’s rushing. tactics by .claiming au immense advantage for Greg- gains in reuch, which statements the tape- measure has proved incorrect. Creedon has not been endowed by nature withi as long an arm as the ex-San Francisco fire fighter, but makes up the difference in his immenso breadth of chest. Greggains' actual meas- urement from the tips of his fingers with his arms outstretched as far as possible was 71 inches, Creedon’s measurement in the same position was 7015 inches, which gives Greggains an advantage of one-fourth of an inch in the reach, while beforo it was ex- pected he wus Creedon’s master in this de- partment by at ieast two inches. Creedon always enjoyed the reputation of bewng u terrific hitter, a rushing fighter, and a rapid finisher, while all of Greggains' victories stamp him a_careful, clover and shifty ring general. Creedon’s friends claim Greggains cannot hit hard cnough to stop their man's rushes, ana in turn the follow- crsof Joe Lewis' protoge say that when Creedon rushes he will be mot with stiff loft handers that will take the starch out of him, Both the men's admirers are too enthusiastic and probably will be surprised tosee that they aro far from being right in their prejudiced idens. = “The measurements of the men follow: GREGGAINS.

Commodore Mal- colm Forbes was greatly disappointed, as & matter of course. He has, however, his own | #elf to blame for the loss of the handsome trophy. With his long yuchting experionce he should have been thoroughly conversant with the fact that ail races of the New York Yacht club require written eutries, and that after the entries close, no yacht cau be 1 admitted.

LoxpoN, Aug. 14.—The Sportsman this morning says that Captain Barr of the yacht Navahoe will rewrn to America in a week. It is reported that the cantainof thie Volun- teer has been cabled for to como over and tako charge of the Nuvahoo. In the mean- time she will bo commanded by Captain Drapor, who has piloted the Navahoein all her races in Eugland and was formerly skipper of the Valkyr According to the Sportsman the ro row on board the Navahoe oeccurred in. this w The men wero sitting at vhe aft rail when an order was given, which was obeved very slowly. The last man to rise was re- monstrated with by one of the gentlemen aboard the vacht. The seaman spoke back and a long altercation’ ensued, resulting in the gentleman striking the seaman in the faco and cutting itopen. The boatswain was ordefed to put the man bolow, but was re- luctant to carry out the order. Fventually he persuaded the man togo. 7Theseaman refused to accept an apology from his assail- ant and_declared his intention to prosecuto him. Ultimately the gentleman who struck the seaman scttied the matter by paying tho man six montus salary, amounting to $70, and his passage to America. - The nan will sail for home in a day or two, NATIONAL I GUE, Uncle's Elixir of Uuconditional Relense Works Wonders with the Colts.
