Oik' of the greatest games In base ball,
the greatest game in the history of the
Western league, the longest ami hardest
pitchers' battle since the establishment of
-the present pitching distance, end tha
Guest exhibition of fielding that has been
Been In St. Paul in years, was won by St.
Paul from Milwaukee at Lexington park
yesterday by the remarkable score of
5 to 4 in seventeen innings. The Milwau
kee 'team tied the score at four runs in
the sixih inning, and from that 0:1 until
the last half of the seventeenth not a
man was so fortunate as to cross the
plate, and at a period, too, when a run
would have meant so much.
Roger Denzer, pitching the game
throughout, held the Brewers down to six
hits, a pitching performance that places
his; name in a niche far up in the wall
of ■ the temple of fame close by that of
Radbourne, the greatest of them all.
Hen's teeth, indeed, were scarcely less
Infrequent than were the Brewers' safe
drives, and look at the names ho was fac
ing. Weaver, Gray, Nicol, Stafford and
others. As it was, old Buckingham him
self made three of the visitors' six safe
hits.
Mui-h credit is due to George Rettger,
too, for the Teutonic twirler from Beer
ville pitched a heady and a steady game,
bur victory was not to be his.
There were other idols of the hour.
Preston, Burke, Lally, Weaver, all
made wonderful catches of long outfield
drives, and it is safe to say that every
Inch of Lexington park was covered yes-
terday as it never was nor seldom will
fee. It seemed almost as though the fields
were invulnerable to a batted ball, so
rarely did one get through The lines safe.
Both the teams were on their mettle
all day. The Saints were determined that
the Brewers should not repeat their dread
ful record of a year ago; the Brewers,
Jubilant over the fact that they had bro
ken even with tha Minneapolis sluggers,
would like to do as well with the locals.
L)enz«T served them up to the Milwau
kee men hot and sizzling and Geier had
thrown out Waldron and Burke caught
Nicol's fly almost before the clarion tones
of the gong had ceased- re-e-.?hoing on the
crags and peaks of the chaotic cycle path.
I:ut Weaver, bluff, blase, old Ikicking
ham. veteran of several seasons-service,
met the ball in (he open and chased it to
cotei like Lawton's brigade after a squad
of unr.H-amiered Filipinos. Two bases
were acquired by Weaver while Lally was
gelling the ball back from the outer wall.
Next on the list was Gray, a hardy

all/dialects, from the packing house pro
vincialisms of Cincinnati and the quaint
backwoods jargon of Posey county, In
diana, to the soft guttural inflections of
Alabama, but he has invariably acquired
a reasonable allotment of home runs per
Beason. And yesterday was his day. Dan
Lally reached for the ball, but it was_
going north too fast and he had to be
content with a long run to the cinders ere
he could pick up the superheated sphere.
Gray meantime had scored and Weaver's
run had likewise gone into history. Staf
ford flew to Schwartz, who had taken Is
fcell's place on the initial sack, but that
lead of two certainly did strike terror to
the aft"righted souls of the 446 spectators
like th<» visions that haunted Gloster y the
midnight before he mef the seven Rich
. ir.ond brothers.

TIED IN THE SECOND.
Schwartz reached for the first bail
pitched, and gave Speer a foul. But Lally
o:id rfhugart met the Rettgerian twists '
and straightened them out wonderfully
and when Waldron let the second of
these go through him Shugart went
around to third, and Lally scored. Al
most anything would tie then, and Pres
ton rolled a fast one at Sehoch hard scor
ing Shugart at his own sacrifice. 'Spies
lifted the ball out of the infield safely but
Denzer rolled a light one to Stafford 'and
' ■went out.
It was a tie, but Geier proceeded to
add a handicap by a low throw on Rett
ger's grounder, which gave the pitcher
second base, purely gratuitously. Lally's
fine catch under Waldron helped some
but Nicol rolled 'one at Glenalvin that
looked as easy as the solving of a pat
ent medicine missing letter contest, and
the brill went clear to Preston's rearrange
ment of Josh Clark's outlots, 1 Rettger
meantime, tapping softly with his toes
on the plate. But Glen threw out Weaver
and Gray flew to Burke. - '
St. Paul wanted one nearly as bad as
any old maid ever did, but Burke was
thrown out by Sehoch before the ball was
cool. Geier, however, walked. That was
the beginning of much sorrow for Rett
ger. Glenalvin hammered a saucy one
hard over second. Hallman went after It
earnestly, and tried to field it, but in
stead of getting it In his hand, kicked it
with his foot, and it went away over back
of third base. Geier, meanwhile, went to
third and Glenalvin to second. Weaver
ate up Schwartz's drive, but Lally's sec
ond hit, a fine line drive over short, chas
ed Glenalvin in, and put the home team
In the lead. Shugart struck out.
Roger gave. Hallman a base, with only
one out, but two flies in his rear retired
him, Preston's catch under Schoch be
ing worthy of especial mention. The
locals failed to get the ball through the
Infield in the fourth, and It stuck at
four to three. Rettger fanned, "Waldron
flew to Preston, and Shugart threw

a Nicol out. St. Paul again went one,
two, three.
BACK TO A TIB AGAIN.
In the Inevitable rotation of things ba3e
ball. Weaver came again to lead the
sixth, and he led it with a two-base drive,
like unto that with which he had weigh
ed down the heart of the Le Sueur boy
in the first inning, save that It went be
tween Burke and Preston, and was not
lielded back as fast as seemed desirable.
Gray shot a hard one at Glen, and
Weaver went to third. Denzer gave Staf
ford a base, and Weaver scored on Hall
man's fly to Lally. Schoch hit a short one,
and Schwartz deserted the sack to get
it in vain. Glen got it, however, and
Roger covered the sack In time to get
a neat play, with the score a tie.
Schwartz was thrown out by Schoch.and
Lally fouled to Stafford, but Shugart
drove the ball down the right foul line
for a good single, and Preston lined a
good one for another. Spies had a
chance to win the game in a walk, but
hit it high to Nicol, and It was even up
with even innings.
Speer opened for the Brewers with a
high drive over short, but Rettger struck
out again. Then Geier gladdened the
hearts of the visitors by letting an easy
one get through him. Nicol drove one
at Shugart. who covered the sack and
tried hard for the double, but threw low.
Fortunately, however, Speer was held at
third, and although Nicol stole second
unmolested, Burke caught Weaver's long
drive and shut off the two runs thit
menaced Denzer's peaoe of mind. Gray
threw out Denzer, and Weaver made a
fine catch under Burkes drive. Geier,
however, met the ball for the first tl-re
in three days, and while it was futile, a.;
it turned out, it was encouraging. Glen
alvln batted to Stafford, and Rettger had
to cover the base. The decision was
close, but the side was retired.
Denzer retired Gray, and Spies made
a beautiful catch of Stafford's hard foul
by the home* players' bench. Hallman
went out at first base, and the locals did
not better.
There was but one more inning
scheduled, and when Schoch hit seven
successive fouls without dropping the
ball In any one's reach It looked. as
though he might be able to wear Denzer
out in time. But Shugart threw him out
after all and Burke took in Speer's high
one. Much disgust was man'fested
when Denzer presented four wide onc3
to Rettger, the hero of two successive
strike-outs, and had not Lally made a
fine catch of Waldron's long drive out
side the foul line, the ninth Inning might
have been the last.
Preston was thrown out by Schoch, but
Spies put a good grounder close to third
base, but was forced out by Denzer, who
in turn was forced by Burke, all three
sending the ball toward third.
PLAYING EXTRA INNINGS.
The extra innings were then brgun, and
after Preston had taken in Nicol, Weav
er's single to right safe promised trouble.
Gray, however, hit a high one to the
same field, and Preston's catch, with
Shugarfs under Stafford, gave the locals
another show.
Geier got a base on balls to start with
and went to second on G:enalvln's
grounder to short, but Schwartz batted
a little one barely in front of the plate
and Geier was left at third when Lally
could not get the leather beyond
Schoeh.
Geier threw out. Hallman and Glr:nal
vin attended to Schoch"s case. Speer flew
to Shugart, who returned the compliment
by sending Waldron a high one. Pres
ton, for a second time, was hit by a
pitched ball without being allowed to
walk to first base, an Indignity that in
censed the multitude much, if 342 human
souls may be termed a multitude.
Weaver took two long drives and the
decks were clear for the twelfth.
Rettger struck out a thirQ time, and
Waldron sent a long fly to Lally. Den
zer threw Nicol out.
LOCALS HAD CHANCES HERB.
Here was an Inning that nearly gatye,.
the St. Paul contingent Tieart disease.
Dtnzeiy who had been swaying his wil
low against the lengthening shadows pre
viously In the afternoon, smote the I>all
for a high drive which fell clean in right
field. That gave a start which might
have ended the game. But Burke forced
Roger out at second. Then Geier, who
had regained his batting eye. as it
seemed, fell upon the ball, and drove It
over Stafford's corner. That left run
ners on first and third with only one
out. Glenalvin sent a live one at Hall
man, who came in on it, and then der
termined to try and catoh Geier before
throwing to the plate. He.had to turn
clear around and then followed lito'e
Phil aY the vultures followed rils great
forerunner of military prowess, but
Burke stood at third steady and sure as
an embalmed beef investigation. Ha
might not have scored, if he had run,
but it would have been a lot more excit
ing and could not have been any more
costly, as Schwartz gave Weaver a hard
long drive that the latter fielded and
retired the side.
SCHWARTZ AND HIS LUCK.
But If that Inning was unfortunate for
the locals the thirteenth was an oasis in
the desert of superstition that ought to
make the figure 13 go down in the annals
of the Schwartz family as the one bright
particular mascot and lucky number to
name dogs after and baptize children
upon. Schwartz could have fallen out of
a balloon in that thirteenth inning and
fallen upon a pneumatic sofa pillow, to
pick up a $5 bill. Weaver poked the
easiest sort of a little roller at the boy
and he mussed it over in the sand shame
fully, kicking it from back of the base a
yard or two in front of it. He waa In
earnest and tried hard to recover him
self and reach out to touch Buck before
the latter reached the sack, but in vain.
This does not look as though the thir
teenth was Schwartz's lucky inning, but
wait. This is a serial. Gray says to him
self, says he: "We've a man on first base
and no one out. Consulting rule 3, sec
tion 2, of Connie Mack's guide for young
players, I find that in such a case I
bunt." So Gray bunted. But he bunted
the ball into the air instead of on the
ground, and it hurtled around with the
uncertain course of a marauder who feara
capture and punishment in the reproof of
a guilty conscience. Finally it picked on
Schwartz as the hapless one. But the
youngster got his various nervous fingers
and things together and put the ball in
chancery, and, stepping to the bag, turned
to ga.7<s pityingly on Weaver, who had
neglected to observe the progress of the
play in time. And it was a mighty close
call, too, for just then Stafford stuck his
long bat under the cover of one of Den
zer's curves, and drove it weH into Lally's
garden. Dan, in fact, fumbled it, beside,
and let the Tarheel grocer go to second
base without proper Quarantine certif
icates. Geier, however, met Hallman'3
grounder fair and retired the visitors
again.
Lally flew to Schoch,and Shugart struck
out. Hallman threw Preston out, and the
thirteenth inning was in history.
Geier threw Schoch out, and Burke and
Lally took long files from the next two,
with considerable satisfaction to the ex
cited populace.
ANOTHER DOUBLE PLAY.
Spies gave Weaver a long drive, but
Denser was as good In the fourteenth aa
he was In the twelfth, and lined out an
other good hit. But Burkes hard liner,
low, dipped, and Schoch went down just
in time to catch it almost In the dirt. Den
zer was by this time well down to sec
ond and a double play was easy.
The fifteenth inning opened with Wal
dron's fly to Burke, not sensational, but
clean. Nicoi made Eddie run some for
the next one, which he did, but the tri
umphant sally of the inning was when
"Weaver drove a hard one down close to
the foul line, fast and not very high. It
looked like a sure home run and the end
of the game, but Preston was striding to
ward it like the traditional seven-league
boots. There was one reach and the ball
was caught. After Rettger threw out
Geler Weaver made two catches almost
as fine for the visitors, and the fifteenth
was ended, with the great contest still
unsettled.
Preston took another off Gray's stick,
and Stafford fouled to Schwartz. Glen
threw Ilallman out.
:.■.. .ONE MORE START LOST.
Lally came up hopeful and reached for

the warning of his impending doom.
Shugart went out on a high foul, well
back by the bench, and Lally tried to
make second on it, but Speer, by a quick
turn and throw, completed the double
play, and Hallman's throw on Preston
cost the locals down again.
Seventeen Innings were demanded then,
and the seventeenth opened with Schoch' •
long drive, which Lally took cleanly.
Burke did as well on Speer, and Denzer
threw Rettger out.
Spies It was whom fate had reserved to
turn the key In the lock of fortune's
treasure box, and when Rettger sent the
ball whizzing as It had been whizzing for
sixteen Innings, Spies drove it well out
to left field, and Weaver let It go by him,
so Heine got two bases instead of one.
Denzer poked the ball at Schoch and
Heine went to third. Roger was out, as
went Burke on a fly to short center field.
There was serious doubt for a moment
whether Heine ought not to have tried to
make it. But Geier hit a line liner right
over second baso and Nicol let it go
right between his legs, for Spies had al
ready scored the winning run. Preston
rescued the ball from the spring rains.

Brewers.
The St. Paul and Milwaukee clubs will
play the second of their present series of
three games at Lexington park this after
noon, beginning promptly at 3:30.
Chauncey Fisher will pitch for the lo
cals, and Hart, Swaim or Barnes for the
Brewers, it not being characteristic of
Ccnnle Mack to reveal the night before
whom he will pitch upon the morrow.

Schwartz played a nice game at first,

"It don't seem as though the newspa
pers gave as much space to the national
game as they used to," remarked Eddi-s
Burke, with a sigh, as he sauntered into
the dressing room a«d began to doff his
street clothes for the morning practice.
"You're right there, old man," rejoin
ed Glenalvin, who had already gotten into
his field togs and was glancing over the
accounts of the game. "Last year we were..
In on a shoestring, and they told ua it
was the war. That took up so much space
they couldn't give us what we used to
get. Fine con, that, eh? Now this year
they hand us the real barney. All full of
this Kipling, and the real sport can't
break in with a half column cut every
Sunday. It's a pretty kettle of fish when
we have to run one, two to a poet. Why,
these long-haired scribblers '11 be putting
on more dog than de actors in another
year. And what's Kipling ever done for
this country. Drills through an attack of
pneunu<iia, and a lot of tenderfeet that
never read a line he wrote begin feed
ing the wire with jollies for 'lm, and the
family doctor has to have a special wire
from his house to the Associated Press.
Let a ball player have a bad stomach for
a day or two, and the gang begins to
yell, 'Get out 'o de game,' and 'What 'a
you got dat guy In a suit for, Commy?'
but a lantern-jawed English poet that
overheated his blood in the jungles writes
a wad of gush about a lot of sunburned
beauties of Hyderabad or any other old
place, and the papers get out an extra
every fifteen minutes to see whether he's
dead yet or not. We're on a dead card,
I tell you, when It comes to competing
with this foreign labor. Why, If I was
organizin' a league of poets do ye think
this guy could captain a team? Not on
your life. Why Charley Harris, down In
Milwaukee, begins where this guy leaves
off, to my notion. Take up the white
man's burden. Did you ever read such
rot as that. Why the white man's been
carrying a load ever since I can remem
ber, and I never found anybody break
ing his back to take up my bit of it.
Not by me, Rudyard. I don't get you at
all. But the moke has got 'em going.
I went down to the show last night, and
a lot of guys sat around there for two
hours like they didn't know the game waa
started yet. They called It 'The Doll's
House,' or something of that sort, where
a kid what gets married too young gets
tired of the hooked-up combination and
starts to trow herself into de drink. It
was a hot number where she comes out
in de last act, and reads de riot act to
the old man, a sort of cheap skate that
wouldn't run one, two, free If he was
measured up with a real sport. But the
crowd sat dere like a lot o' dead ones
till de soubrette comes out and sings one
of his Kipling's pomes. Get 'em? Did
she got 'em? Well, you ought 'a seen 'em.
Talk about home runs in the ninth, with
the bases full, and four runs needed to
tie. Why, If she had a bat in her hand
she'd lifted the bleachers right off the
park. I think they'd a been throwing
seat cushions yet If the theater people
hadn't had 'em fastened to the chairs."

Any one who was In the game of yes
terday may console himself that he
couldn't have played very yellow ball.
• • •
Waa It Weaver the Milwaukee fans
were getting tired of? He did not seem
to be off, either batting or fielding, yes
terday.

But, oh I It waa tough to finish that
twelfth Inning without scoring.
PARKER A PUZZLER.

the Mystery of 111* Curve*.
Minneapolis won the first game of the
series with Kansas City yesterday at
Nicollet park and without special effort
Parker went In to pitch for the local
team and he kept the Blues guessing
up to the end. The Manning 1 contingent
made only five hits and three of those
were In the ninth when Parker eased up
a bit and allowed the visitors three of
their four runs. Friend was a good
thing for Minneapolis and he was pushed
along for eighteen hits and thirteen
runs. He was well supported, but there
was no mystery to his curve*. The Min

BISONS WIN AT HOME.
Remarkably Good Game to Open
the Season at Buffalo.
BUFFALO, N. T., May B—(Special.)—
A crowd of 3,000 people witnessed the
opening game of the Western league sea
son in Buffalo today and was treated to a
fine contest, the Bisons winning by a
score of Ito 0. The only run of the
game was made in the second Inning
when an error by Hlckey allowed the
home team to score. Gray was in the
box for Buffalo and pitched wonderful
ball, not a single safe hit being made
by the visitors in the nine Innings. Fore
man also pitched a good game and held
the locals down to five hits. The score:

LOUISVILLE'S HARD LUCK.
PITTSBURGH Pa., May B.—Sparks kept
the hits well scattered up to the eighth,
when Leaver was substituted. The first
man was Clingman and the third ball
pitched was a terrific ln-shoot. It caught
Clingraan on the head, and laid him out
cold for a time. He was helped to the
dressing room, and Woods went in the
game for him. Cunningham relieved Ma
gee in the sixth inning, and gave five hits
and four runs, but refused to help the
home team afterwards. Attendance, 900.

Sunday morning at Aurora Park, 8 to 7.
It was pronounced by the large number
who witnessed the game one of the best
amateur games played there. The Ply
mouths lost the game with a crippled
team, three of their best players being
absent. Both Ryan and Le Rivere pitched
fine ball. Score by innings:

of the game was the batting of the vic

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.
Tom Parrott is looking for a minor
leagie engagement.
The "Garrison finish" has broken into
base ball reports again.
Catcher Jack Ryan has been bought by
Van Derbeck from Brooklyn for $600.
Raymer, the Kansas City's new short
stop, is a "find" in batting as well as
fielding.
Manager Jack Glasscock, of the Fort
Wayne team, has bought Babb and Knep
per.
Louie Bierbauer's second base work for
the Columbua team is attracting favor
able comment.
Brooklyn has a third baseman named
Casey. What a weary time he must have
when he strikes out.
Andrews, catcher; Sharrott, outfielder,
and Damoth, pitcher, were all released
from Detroit by Stallings.
Faults are cropping out in the batting
of the St. Louis team that may land it
well down the list by the end of the sea
son.
Jack Taylor No. 2 is the likeliest of the
new batch of minor league twirlers of re
cent vintage in the big league. Phyle,
who was purchased by Tom Burns from,
Comiskey last season, has proved a fickle
in-and-outer thus far.
President Hart, of the Chicago team, is
talking in New York about the possible
dropping of New York in 1901. He says
that there may be no reduction of the
number of league clubs this season, but
the clubs marked to go will gradually sell
off their players and get ready to slip out.
Meanwhile the public will see the hand
writing on the wall, and the financial
Eicking for the "dead-timber" clubs will
c very poor.
GUERRERO IS THIRD.
Minneapolis Man Making? Good
Snowing In Go-as-Yon-Pleaae Race.
NEW YORK, May B.—A seventy-two
hour go-as-you-please race began at 1
o'clock this afternoon, in Grand Central
Palace, with fifteen starters. The men
will be on the track twelve hours a day
until Saturday night. The starters were
Oliver Hanson, Norway; John Glick,
Philadelphia; George Barnes, Fitchburg!
Mass.; Thomas Cox, Chicago; Patrick
Igo, England; Charles Deming, Lake
wood, N. J.; Samuel Day, London- Pe
ter Hegelman, New York; Philip Martin,
Greenwich. Conn.; Gus Guerrero, Min
neapolis; George Noremac, Philadelphia;
John Craig, Newburg, N. V.; Thomas
Dawson, England; Martin Geary, Alle
gheny, Pa.; Peter Edwards, New York
The prizes are $500, $200, $100, $75 and $50,
for first, second, third, fourth and fifth,
respectively.
The attendance this evening was more
encouraging than during the day, al
though not many persons appeared before
10 o'clock. The contestants appeared to
be taking it easy, evidently saving their
strength for the last days.
Deming left the course at 5:45 p. m.,
and did not return. The racer became ill
with stomach trouble and was out of the
contest for an hour and a half before 8
o'clock.
Hegelman, tho German, of New York,
led, although Guerrero, the Mexican, of
Minneapolis, gave him little rest, and
was with him much of the time. Hegel
man was fresher than Guerrero when
the former made his fiftieth mile, at 8:30
p. m. He was then two miles and one
lap ahead of the Mexican. Hegelman's
time for the fifty miles was 7 hours 3o\i
minutes. After finishing his fiftieth mile
he spurted and made the next mile in
10V4 minutes, or at the rate of almost six
miles an hour.
At 9 o'clock Cox passed into second
place, with a score of 50 miles and 4 laps,
against Hegelman's 52 miles and 11 laps!
This left Guerrero in third place, with a
score of 50 miles and 2 laps, or two laps
behind Cox. At 10 o'clock Hegelman
maintained hia lead, being then nearly
three miles ahead of Cox, who had in
creased his lead over Guerrero another
lap.
TO FIGHT IN DENVER.
That Seem* to Be Solution of Fltz-
Ntmiiionn-.lcffrlon Puzzle.
NEW YORK, May B.—lt seems to be
settled that Fitzsimmons and Jeffries will
fight in Denver. The offer of $20,000 by the
Colorado Athletic association has been
accepted and articles signed by Julian and
Brady are now on their way to Denver.
The signatures of the officers of the asso
ciation are all that is needed to complete
the negotiations. Fltz and Jeffries signed
to meet for twenty-flvo rounds, but as
the Cannon bill recently passed In Col
orado permitting finish fights will allow it
there may be a change in the arrange
ments by which the combat will not end
until one or the other of the men has
been counted out.
The Colorado Athletic association, or
ganized since the passage of this meas
ure, has already under way.plans to build
an auditorium in which prize fights may
be conducted. The building will accom
modate at least 15,000 persons. It will cost

Jole Walcott Adds Another Victory
to His Record.
PHILADELPHIA, May B.—Jo« Walcott,
of Boston, . tonight practically knocked
out Charley Johnson, of this city, in the
tenth round of what was to have been
a fifteen-round fight at the Ariel Athletic
club, Athens, a suburb of this city. John
son was in no condition to fight, and was
completely outclassed by his colored op
ponent, who was in prime condition. Dur
ing the entire ten rounds Johnson made
but five leads, and landed only three times.
The . worst damage he did was to split
Walcott's lip in the first round, when the
colored fighter, in ducking one of John
son's swings, received an upper, cut. Aft
er that he did no damage at all, and
merely. tried to stand off the fighting Wal
cott. The latter administered severe pun
ishment to Johnson, whose ribs were al
most raw from the terrific hammering he
received. The Boston " man kept con
stantly Jabbing the Phlladelphlan with
his left, and was always on the lookout
for a chance to deliver a knockout, blow.
He knocked Johnson down In the first
. and eighth rounds. -v." ■ ■ : •..' - '■-■ '.
: When Johnson' came up■ for the ninth
round he was very groggy, but managed to
■tar the round out. In the tenth Walcott
5
began playing for his head, and in the
middle of the round sent Johnson against
the ropes. The referee separated the men
and as he did so Johnson's hands fell to
his side. The referee asked him If'he
wanted to go on, and Johnson replied:
What s the use, I'm all murdered up."
