IrrOAL tiltoham to THr imrATcn.'i
CmrAOO, May 2L With 13 'players on
his staff Anson struck a winning streak and
to-day he scored his thirteenth successive
victory and is now dangerously close to
ISrooklyn. To-day's contest was won hy
one run, but that solitary figure on the
score board looked ns big to Chi
cago cranks as the Auditorium tower.
That it was a battle of pitchers goes with
out saying. Pittsburg was represented in
the box by that old-time war horse, .Teems
Galvin. Pitchers may come and pitchers
may go, but Jeerns. seems to go on
forever. He was, a little stouter
ol Ir.imc and his hair was
more sprinkled with grav than when he
playd here last fall, bu Galvin is no back
number, as the two hits credited to the
Colts amply testify. He depend! on fast
nd slow balls, alternating them in such
manner that the batters are kept guessing,
and he proved a Chinese puzzle for the
Colts.
Fortnno Favored the Colts.
"With rare good fortune the locals crept
out of three ticklish innings in which Pitts
burg threatened to score. Good headwork
prevented their crossing the plate.
Peiore starting for the grounds young
Dahlcn had a romp with his baby boy.
"Papa, oo'l win. 'ont you?" chattered the
lad. "Yes, my boy. we'll do 'em up," re
plied the londparent. Dahlen was think
ing of this conversation when he went to
bat in the eighth inning. Dahlcn saved the
day for the Colts. Malachi Kittridge
took a teef in his belt when he
strode up to the Dlate in the eighth.
He looked over at Corkhill in center and
crinred. Corkhill grimaced in return.
Then Malachi swatted the ball on the equa
torial line and it flew right at Corkhil.
"Cork" ran upon the hall and his hands
wrapped themselves around the wobbling
sphere. "He's out," groaned the crowd.
Old Top'rs ratal Mistake.
Just then Corkhill let the ball get away
from him and Kittridge landed on first.
Hutchinson, who has a bet wtth Kittridge
that he will beat him cut on the season in
batting, tried hard to crack out a hit; all he
could do was to pop a fly to Beckley. It
nearly cost Kittridge his life, but
lie went down like a hill diver
and back to the sack on his chest-protector.
Wilmnt sent a grounder to Beckley, but
Kittridge went onto second. Then Dahlen
tailed at Galvin, who sent up a swift
(houlder-high ball. The kid sent it over
Smith's head. Kittridge trudged home
and the game was won.
In the third, after Corkhill's out, Galvin
smote the ball ocr Dahlen's head for a
base and Miller sacrificed. Bierbauer lifted
one of "Villie Hutchinson's inshoots
out into -cenjer, Galvin rumbled on
to third where he ought to have
jemained but he went for the home
plate and found the ball there ahead of him.
Kittridge bad planted his brogans on the
plate, and Jiramie By.in made one of his
celebrated outfield bullseve shots, the
pitcher being the victim. Three thousand
throats opened as one.
I!nd a M in m Each Base.
In the fourth Shugart got a base on ball
He would have been forced at second by
Beckley but Cooney muffe 1 Anson's throw.
Smith iiext shot up an easy fly that Hutch
inson did not touch. He stood like a dum
my at the p'atc while Hutchinson threw the
ball to Cooner smothering Beckley, and
lie in turn tiled the ball to Anson making
a double plav on Sinitu. And in the
tcventh, after Hutchinson allowed Smith's
rounder to get away and Dungan had horri
bly misjudged Farrell's fly and Galvin'i
base on balls had filled the sacks, Kit
tridge ran b.".ck of the visitors' bench
and ate up Miller's foul flv. Tiie air
trembled with cheers and Kittridge re
ceived an ovation. In the seventh Anon
got a base on balls and sacrifices sent him to
third, but the looked for hit was not forth
coming. The star leature were Hutchin
son's upe:b pitching and brilliant catches
by Dahlen, Kittridge and Farrell

BUBHS TAKES CHAKQE.
' He Is Dcflnltn'y Engaged to Take Oar
j Sluggers In Hand.
Tom Burns has finally been definitely en
gaged by the local ball club. The deal was
consummated yesterday afternoon by wins.
-As readers of this paper aro aware Burns
Uemanclodan "ironclad" contract for tin oe
years, and yesterday morning President
Temple received from hlra the kind of con
tract he. Burns, desired to sign. The word
"player" was erased from the document and
so was all reference to the ten-day clauso
In other woids Burns desired to slen with
the Pittsburg club solely a manngor and
absolutely for three years.
Tills w as a little too much for the local
magnates and Mr. Tcmme wired back tell
insr Burns that he must sign to plr.y as -well
as captain and manage the team and also
that the ten-dav clause must stand. Of
course Burns replied that tlie terms were
perfectly satisfactory to him and that he
would take charge of the players yester
dav. Ton Burns now lias charge of the team and
w hat the outcome w ill be time alone will telL
Ir Is stated that his salarv is to bo about
$,000 a season, and that is about $1,500 a year
more than he is getting In Chicago. If his
merit is equal to tho enormous sajary our
sluzcers should have many victories ahead
of them. It Is understood that he will have
to start and plav as soon as he possibly can,
because if he is to do any good he must be
on tho Held in eveiy game. He may and
iray not be a success, but it is onlv fair to
gie Tommy all the show possible. The
dnectorsof the clnb have a perfect right to
judge lor themselves as to who they will en
gage, and it they think their success, lies in
signing Bums, patrons of the same should
accept the change with good grace. It is
useless to dissu.se the lact that the move Is
not a very popular one. and speaking on this
point vcste.day, Piesident Temple -atd:
"Many people aie kicuing about our
action, but wnen the team lose they kick,
and when we try to-make a change to insure
victoiirs they kick, and what are we to do?
Well, the best war Is for us to do what ne
think is right. That is Just what we are
doing."

THE LAT0NIA DERBY.
Only Two Starters and Newton Wins With
Most Ridiculous Ease.
CnrcraKATi, May 21. The opening day at
Latonla was the worst beginning that the
Jockey Clnb has made (or many seasons.
The track was a foot deep In sticky rand.
During a rnce at eveiy Jump the mud would
splash jockey and horse from head to foot.
Tho weather up to 2 o'clock threatened rain,
but cleared up afterward, and was pleasant
dnrlng the remainder of the afternoon.
In spite of all the unfavorable conditions
mentioned, a large crowd, fully 7,0'J0 people
turned out to witness the sport. There were
not many scratches considering the wretched
condition of the track, only four in fact, but,
as two of these were in the Derby, it mado
that race a lather tame and one-sided affuir.
Azra and Ilashtord (tho Bishford Manor
eutrv), were looked upon as ceitaln winneis
and there was much disappointment when
they wero withdrawn. The talent was
fortunato in picking the mudlarks, three of
Ave hot favorites winning.
Tho moment tlie re-ult of the third race
was announced, a great crowd rushed to ihu
betting stand to place their money on the
Derby, but tho bookmakers' odds appalled
tliebetteis and not a great deal of money
was put up on the chief event, with Bash
ful d and Azra out, there remained
only Millionaire Charles Fleishman's
chestnut colt, Ronald, by imported Rosslng
ton, outfnf Seeiet, and Ireland Bros.' New
ton, by imported Billet, out ofYassar. The
odds on Newton In the flisc betting were 1 to
6 and on Bonald 4 to 1. When tlio horses,
went to the post only 1 to 8 was offered on
Neivon, while C to 1 could bo easily obtained
on Ronald. It, uns Ronald's first race as a
three-year-old and he had never before, beon
in a race of more than a mile and a quarter.
In spite of this tho great majority of the
people staked their faith and their dollais
on Ronald, and sympathy was with him
throughout tho race. Especially was this
the case with women, of 11 Horn there were a
great numberpresent. The trumpet sonndod
and wnen the horses paraded before the
Htand Ranald reoelved by far tho greater
share of applause. Presently both horses
i-tood Halting .at the half-mile post on the
opposite sldo of the couise.
Tho nice was entirely one sided, as Newton
won as he liked. Summaries:

Some Good Contests.
Race Track, GaAVESEaD, May 21. The per
sistent drizzling rain that fell throughout
tho morning and afternoon transformed the
track luto a sea of mud. There was a hard
bottom. However, and much better time was
mado than was expected under the circum
stances. The withdrawal of- Masterlodo and
Madstone from tho second event left King
Crab without a worthy opponent, and he
simply galloped in winner with the exceed
ingly good odds of 1 to 5 against him.
The Hudson Stakes resulted in a bad upset
for the talent, who backed Don Alonzo,
Murphy up, as If the race was all over. The
colt should have won, hitt the fact is he is so
big and clumsy that he was In his own way.
He could not get into stride until the others
had left him tar in the rear. Around the
turn his Ie:s became tangled, but once
straightened out in thp homestrptch ho
showed a world of speed. He will be a
great colt on a straightaway track, where
he will have no sharp turns to bother him.
The other stake event, the Gazolle Stakes,
was chiefly noteworthy because it marked
the reappearance of Yorkville Belle altera
1duj winter's rest. There was nothing
against her of any account, and as por
tended by tho odds 10 to 6 she simply

IYES HOLDS THE CUP.
He Wins the World's Championship
at Billiards in 30 Innings.
THE SCORE STOOD 800 TO 488.
Tery Few Brilliant Plays Made but the
Game Was Steadily Good.
THE STUDENT TO MKET SCIIAEFER
CnicAno, May 21. The billiard match
between Slosson and Ives, 800 points, 14
inch balk-line, to-night attracted to Central
Music Hall, where the match was played,
an audience which packed the spacious
building from roof to basement. The match
was named to commence at 8 o'clock". It
wa 20 minutes later, however, before
the call for the balls was made
By this time every 'available seat
had been taken and later on it was impossi
ble to secure even standing room. A good
deal of feclin? was displayed by the audi
ence, all in favor of the Chicagoon. The
simplest stroke was applauded with an ex
uberance which is rarely displayed. John
Callahan, of Milwaukee, acted as referee
and C. Matthews as marker.
The match was for the world's champion
ship and a money stake of 51,000. Ives
won, and now bets are being mode that
Schaefer will hold the cup again within 70
days.
The play was steadily good, rather than
brilliant. Occasionally Slosson made a miss
which, to the ordinary player, seemed inex
cusable, and the same may be said of Ives.
The latter, however, in the early
portion of the game, at least,
played a better average. Slo.'son won
the lead and in his first innings made one.
Then Ives ran up a small score, and a short
time later Slosson put together a score of
120 by really good play. Ives followed
with 42 while Slcson kept on with 2, 19, G,
and an occasional 0. Up to 9:45 he had
made no good score, Ives by fair scores,
the largest of which was 63, made his total
240, against 171.
Later the play became more exciting and
interesting. Ives began to lead ahd gradu
ally his confidence returned. In the early
part of the game, for four ssuccessive turns,
lie did not seem capable of taking advtan
tage of any opening, ho.wevcr great. Such
scores as 2, 1, 7 and 0 were his average, and
after one or two medium breaks he put to
gether 63. In the ninth round he made
some brilliant strokes, essaying a shot three
times across the table by which he brought
the balls to an anchor nurse, rolling up CO.
Then he broke down on an easy three
cushion shot
One of the greatest strokes of the evening
was made by Ives in the thirteenth inning.
The balls lined up straight across the cush
ion with the cue ball at one end. Ives
jumped the nearer object ball (his oppo
nent's), hit the red and brought the two to
gether, making a score of 122. Slosson
played one remarkable kiss shot which
evoked rounds of applause. In the eighth
