PRESIDEKT BTRXE FILES A PROTEST
After thinking the matter carefully over
the management of the Brooklyn team de
cided to play two games yesterday after
noon for one price of admission as a matter
of courtesy to the baseball public of Titts
burg. and the two pames were played, each
getting one. That was quite a lair divy,
but, ohl the local sluggers trot there only
alter one of the closest and mot exciting
tussles that has ever been witnessed in or
about Pittsburg. It i safe to say that those
of the 3,900 spectators who wrrc rooting for
Pittsburg never sat so uneasily on their
scats in their lives before. At stages mat
ters were close, and the visitors looked so
much like dinners that huge beads of per
spiration wcie standing on hundreds of
brows, and, when a tight hole was escaped
from, the sighs of relief could be heard
nearly a mile away. It was, indeed,
An Kxcrnclritlng Afialr.
A pins-and-needles contest was not in it.
It was really like the case of somebody
leading one to the brink of a precipice and
when about to throw you over some unseen
hand would prevent the catastrophe. And
the absolute finish of the game was the most
remarkable and the most exciting stage of
it Old Pop Corkhill crowned himself with
glorv by throwing a man out at the plate.
Had the run scor.-d the score would have
been tied, but as it was it retired the Brook
lyns and won the game.
Certainly baseball is exciting after all
that Mas seen in that game.
"aidwin and Hart were the pitchers, and
It is safe to sav they never had a better test
of their pluck and skill. Baldwin never
pitched a better game and never displnved
better judgment, and it may haie been that
his judgment on one occasion, viz., in pur
posely giving IJrputhcrs his base on balls
saved" flu-Iaj . AH told, Mark only gave
three bases on balis and only seven hits
were made oil him. Tl.at was splendid
work against such a terrific lot of players
like the wonders.
He was well supported, but the home
talent could not lo much with Hart. He is
a good pitcher and the etrors of his col
league lost the game for him. Wan! was
out of lorm as far as piayiug was concerned,
but in kicking John, is just as active as
ever. And so ar." hi- team. They can
kick, and they did it from start to finish.
S'nrtert to Get Itn-is.
T-i the third inning the first run was
made. Porkhill got his base on bails and
so did Mack. Oirknill was forced out at
third by Baldwin's short "grounder, and
then Ward's wild throw allotted Miller to
reach Ur-t all light and the bases were lull.
Ilierhaufr's saerifii-e scored Mack, and
Smith put the side out. In the fourth in
ning Rirrclland Becklcvcach made a single,
2:v Sliugan's sacrifice scored Farrell.
In the ixth inning after Farrell was out,
a wild throw bv Joyce allowed Becklcv to
ru.ch first. Shugart made a single and si
did Corkhill, Beckley scoring and Shugart
reac'nir.g third. Mack's sacrifice hitscoied
Shugart.
In theiif'h inning.after Bronthers was out,
Foutz got a lucky one down the right foul
lit.c for three bags. Then Griffin got an
other down the rijlit line for two hags, and
Foutz tallied. This gave everybody the
shakes, but Corcoran and Dily went out in
order. In t lip seventh inning the visitors
n ere led oil by Daly. He wa? put out at
first, and Hart got his bascjin balls. Collins
went out on a flv to Shugart, and AVard
made a single and so did Joyce, scoring
Hart. 'With a man on second and third
Broutiiers came tip.and Baldwin was a little
nervous of Dennis and gave him his base on
balls, filling the bases amid grtat excite
ment. Foutz laced Baldwin, and a hit
meant a great deal, bnt Dave couldn't make
it. He lorccd Erjuthers out at second, re
tiring the side
Hlx-n It 'Whs Kxcltlic;.
In the ninth GriiTin reached first on an
error by Farrell. Corcoran was caught out
bv liecMev, and another error by Farrell
allowed Daly to reach second and Griffin
third. It was now desperate for Baldwin.
Mark struck Hart out, but Collins sent out
a rattling single to right scoring Griffin.
Daly also tried to score, but Corkhill threw
the hall home with wonderful aim, and Daly
was.jusi nabbed on the post by Mack, and
cheers rent the air as the gtme was ended.
The second game was almost devoid of in
terest, a.s the visitors had it all their own
way. Old Sport Galvin started in to pitch,
lnit he retired at the end of the fourth
inning, after six runs had been made and
six hits ofl his delivery. Camp took his j
JUUltr. it v. .lining uiiig icuctm
Mack, as the latter did not feel well. Old
Sport was touched up for four hits by the
first four men .who faced him, and that was
a settler.
On the other hand, the local sluggers
could do nothing at all with Inks. Miller
was the only man to hit the ball safe in the
eight inninsrs. Inks is a good man, and he
has an excellent team behind him, and no
mistake, lie also had three hits to his
credit, but they were of the extremely
scratchy kind. Good hitting earned four of
the eight runs and bad fielding made the
other four. The home players fielded badly
in the game, and their playing was a great
contract to that of the first game.
Ca-.nti pitched fairly well, and it may be
that he will be worked oltener than hereto
fore In the fifth inning Griffin received a
violent blow on thethumbwheu striking ata
foul hall, and he had to retire, Hart taking
his place.
The game was called at the end of the
eighth inning on account of rain. The
score:

STJSDAY BAIL PLAYING.
Tbe Question Is Agitating the 'Minds of ttao
Leaguu Leaders.
Xew York, May 3 .Spectctf. Tho ques
tion of playing Sunday haseball is ono that
at present deeply interests the officials of
the National League clubs. Up to the pres
ent seuou tho National Leaguo had not
played games on bundny, but thcro appears
to be a change of front in that respect. Six
of the 12 clubs nro now plaving on Sunday,
either at homo or abroad. Washington, Bal
timore, St. Louis and Cleveland aro the Sun
day teams, w liilc rittsburg and Chicago aro
said to be ready to drop into lino. Manager
Buckenlierer, or Pittsburg, is eager to play
Sunday games, bnt is at presont restrained
by tho President of the club who is opposed.
In the caso of Chicago tbeio is a strong
prospect or the team there playing on Sun
days both at homo and away. Anson lias
announced tliat he is in lav or of it, and
President Hart delivers himself as follows:
"The Chicago club has no scruples against
Sunday bait plnyins. Tho entire matter is
loft in my hands, and if it become nppaient
that Sunday games aro desirable tiie Colts
will play, provided there is no opposition
irom tho press. However, at pieentit is
not palpatio that we need a cIihiiso of pro
gramme, but vve are ready to accede to any
demand in this direction."
New York, Boston, Brooklyn and PilihV
deltihin have not yet plaj ed Sunday games,
and it Is doubtful if thoy will. DirectorT.il
cott said to-day that the New Yolk team
would not play on Sunday, speaking for
Bioolclyn, President B.-rne says that no one
wn- warranted in string that tho Brooklyns
would play on Sundays; that previous to tho
season tho Brooklyn ditcctoi.s had decided
agnint S.inday playing. Boston and Phila
delphia are apparently opposed to Sunuay
Mr. Byrne's Protest.
Picsidcnt Byrne, of tbe Brooklyn club,
yesteiday notilied President Younj; that he
(Byrne) protested against the interpretation
of the rule relating to the playing off of
postponed gnmos. Mr. Byrne's protest docs
not at all relet-to yesterday's games, but it
is to force ii definite ami official statement
regarding the meaning of the rule.

EXPERT MARKSMEN.
Some Excellent Trap Shooting for
Big Prizes at Homewood.
GRAND OPENING OF THE TOURNEY.
Pritchard Arrress to Come to! his Country
and Fijrht Fitzsimmons.
GENERAL SPORTING NfcWS OF THE DAT
The big shooting tournament promoted by
Messrs. E. E. Shaner and Jim Crow was
commenced yesterday at Homewood Park,
and was one of the most successful opening
days of any tournament held in this State.
Entries were not only numerous, but the
shooting was of the very best quality.
There was a purse of 5300 for the day, but
the entries were so numerous that ?278 were
added to the purse, making a total of $578
that were shot for. This is encouraging to
the promoters and speaks volumes for the
management of theevont.
There were three classes of shooters, viz.,
the expert, tho semi-expert and the ama
teur. In the expert class William AVols
tencroft won first prize, with an average of
8S.8 per cent, and E. D. Miller was second,
with an averege of 85.8 per cent. This is
good shooting, certainly. In the semi
expert class William It. Fields was first,
with an average of 82.9 per cent, and Walter
Brooks was second, with. 81.4 pr cent.
But the amateur class was a surprise.
Seth Clover was first, with an average of
bH.0 per cent, and .7. Fulrord, brother ot the
champion, was second, with an average of
8a 8 per cent.
The shooting to-day will be probably
more interesting than yesterday, as there
will be more money at stake. Following
are the scores:

LONGSTBEET'S F00BTKIAL.
TheFavorlte for the Brooklyn Alleged to
Be in Bad Shape.
New York, May 3. Longstteet, thefavorito
for tho Brooklyn handicap, had a very dis
appointing trial at the Gravcsend track yes
terday morning. Tho weather was very
sultry and served to make the horses that
were worked sweat out profusely.
Longstreet was given bis work at about 10
o'clock with Cox, the lightweight jockey of
the stable, iu the saddle. The horse broke
from tho mile and a quarter polo at a good
pace, covering the first tutlona in 0:13. The
big horso does not like working by himself,
and little Cox was not strong onough to
hold his head up and keep him at his pace.
So he was cased up after goin; six furlongs
in 1.19. The trainers wero disappointed, as
many bets were made that he would cover
the mile and a quarter in 2:10 or better. It
was rumored that "Jimmy" McLaughlin
would be In the saddlo on Wednesday or
Saturday, when Longstreet will be tried
agaiu.
Good Sport at Nashville.
NAsnviLLE, May 3. Beautifnl weather, ex
cellent sport, brisk betting and a large

was warmly applauded. Though only tw o
horses faced the ntarfer in the brood mare
stake, the race was In doubt until the clos-

the best or the betting.

YALE'S HEW BOAT.
The Harlem Boat isuliaer Finishes
tbe
Craft and Is Pleased With Her.
New Yoke, May 3. "Ain't she a beauty,"
asked "Billy" Oliver, the Harlem boat
builder, yesterday, as he gazed at the eight
oared sholl Just built for the Yalo University
crew. Workmen wero sandpapering and
oiling the boat and putting on the finishing
touches before shipping tho shell to .its
destination. As he described the lines of
the craft and spoke of her merits, he rubbed
his hands in childish glee. The veteran boat
builder has every confidence in the boat and
ftom now until the big race on the Thames
Is decided he will not rest easy.
Oliver mado a peculiar contract when he
started to make the boat. He aureed to
build ono on the dimensions submitted for
$559, with the understanding that If the
cinw used his boat in the race and won, ho
would get an additional $500. The collegians
agreed to this, and gave Waters, of Troy, an
order tor a paper boat. The two shells will
be taken to New London and given a fair
trial, and of courso tho faster will be used
in the race. Last year the Yalo boys used a
papei boat, whilo the Harvard boys rowed
m a cedar shell. Many think that the paper
noat caused the (lelcat or the wearers of mo
blue. Oliver says lie is positive tlint the
Yalo crow was tho superior, and he at
tributes its defeat to the lact that the paper
Doat lost its momentum at each stroke as
the oarsmen leaned forward. He said this
could ho seen very easily, and attributes it
to lack of stlffnesa. On the othor hand
Waters claim that tho papor boats aro the
better. Yesterday Oliver sent a communica
tion to Troy offering to bet $5C0 that his boat
would be chosen for tlm race. He is
anxiously awaiting an answer.

canght fire, but the blaze was extinguished
without much damage. The house of Fer
dinand Krelner was struck by a ball of elec
tric fire, fhich exploded with tremendous
force. A fire alarm, was turned in but the

against the peak of the house, where it
hung, burning and spitting flashes of fire
until exhausted. Every inmate of tho

air being heavily charged. All watches
and clocks on the premises were stopped and
other electrical phenomena occurred.

tank filled with oil was struck and burned.

oil. At Eixford a tank containing 30,000

fire are expected to ignite. The explosion
of a burning oil tank generally occurs when
the oil has been thoroughly heated.
