sary to Decide Contest
Gaines Pitches.
Tho basphr.lj to.ams of the Univer
sities of Nebraska and Minnesota
crossed bats on the campus last Sat
urday. When the final score was
added up the northern men had won
by 5 to 3. Tho sun was hot, but was
concealed behind a cloud most of tho
time. Tho crowd was the largest of
the season and showed much spirit.
i'ho Minnesota men played good
ball and at critical times played a
laultless game. Freeman, a south
paw man, pitched a good game and
was well supported by his team.
For Nebraska, Captain Rhodes was
tho bright and particular star. His
work at short was of the grand stand
order, and brought forth continued ap
plause. No matter how hot the
grounder was Dusty would run up on
it and put tho ball to first with ac
curacy and lightning speed. Gaines
pitched good ball and should have
won tho game. The fielding of
Reoder and Bell was good, the former
making several difficult catches after
long runs. Raymond led in tho bat-
""Bu't U all happened this' way: Min
nesota was first to bat. Plyma't hit
safe, but was crowded out at second
by a hit of Freeman to Gaines. Free
man then went to second on a bad
pitch and to third by a hit by Cavn
eron. But it was of no use. Metcalf
went out to Bell and Allan was caught
at first. Nebraska went out in one,
two, three order.
In tho second, Minnesota piled up
two nice iat tallios. Leach hit safe
to right and Hurley got a free pass
Thing looked bad for Nebraska. So
lem fanned, out Varco hit tho first
ball down. Townsend missed it and
let in two scores, and that was all.
Plymut was caught at first, and
Gaines fanned Freeman, Just to show
he could.
For Nobraska, Townsend came off
tho bench with blood in tho northwest
corner of his south optic, and rub
bing his front feet in the dust,
knocked the ball over tho center
field, It was a good base hit, but
Townsend tried to stretch it into a
homer and was caught at the plate.
Rhodes fanned, and DoPutron wont
out on u foul. Tho scoro waH still
two to nothing in favor of tho north
erners, For Minnesota in tho third inning,
Cameron sent u fiy to lolt. Reeder
took aftftr it ilko a small boy after
custard pie and got it all, making a
pretty catch after a long run, Mot
calf hit between center field and right
but Allan and Leach -were caught at
first. For Nobraska, Raymond failed
to beat the bull to the initial bag, so
.Reoder, to mako suro, took tho private
car "Four balls." Ho was pushed ottt
nt second, howovor, by Doanc's hit.
Hood was caught out on a fly.
Minnesota tried hard to ncoro in
both tho fourth and fitth, getting a
man to third in tho latter, but tho Ne
braska boys hold them down, Tln
Nobraskans, in turn, could not connect

Then came the sixth, and Nebrnsl.a
started th.3 fire works. Only four
Gophors faced Gaines in their half
For the Cowboys, it started thusty:
Hood hit safe. Boll followed with an
other to Plymat, who sent the ball tc
hucuuu. i ne uopner in tiioae pa ts i
was not on the bag, and forgot to geL
there before ho srmi ibr smii t fii-t
Tho bony nrst bnsoman for tho win-
nesotans groped around for the initial
bag, but Bell beat him to it. Thus,
what should have been a double failed.
Hood, while the Gophers were iccov
oring from the shock, stole third.
There voro two men on bases and no
outs. Tho fans went wild, and called
upon tho Cowboys to keep up the good
work.
Gaines wont up to bat and acted
very much as though ho wanted to do
something. When Freeman sent tho
ball over the plate, Boll shot out for
second. The Gopher catcher did as
expected and thiew the ball to sec
ond. Bell slid into him and was safe.
Willie Solem was recovering, Hood
went home. The crowd jumped to their
feet as one man. While the Minneso
tans were figuring out how it all hap
pened Bell stole third. The smoke
cleared away. Freeman wiped a tear
trom his eye, and prepared to starjr

with the ball for enough

Gopher pitchor gracefully fielded tho I Hnes. Captain Klinge was officer of
ball, 'slowly turned toward first, and J tno (lfty an(1 Lieutenant Stuhr officer
throw Gaines out.
Bell, however, al
through struck speechless by the
w
i drawing room grace of Minnesota's so-
ciety pitcher, started home before tho
ball left that individual's hand. Ho
! landed all right, and tho 'scoro was
I tied. Townsend was caught at first,
and Rhodes and DoPutron hit safe.
Raymond mado three safe hits, that
is thoy didn't hurt any one, and Ne-
' braska went to tho field.
I In tho seventh Minnesota scored one
by a two base hit and a single. Tha
Nobraskans wont out in apple pie
order. Tho Minnesotnns went out in
1-2-3 stylo in both tho eighth and
ninth. Rhodes mado two pretty stops
and Reeder ran from left field to cen
ter, catching a fiy, and incidentally
somo applause.
Nobraska scored a gooso e;g in tho
eighth, but in tho ninth well it hap
pened thus: DoPutron was caught at
First. Raymond, next to bat, walked
modestly to tho plate, swatted tho
air twico and tho ball onco. Whon tho
fans had recovered tholr breath, Ray
mond was soon on third, looking as
though ho woro frlghtoned at tho ap
plause Roodor hit safe and Iko scored.
This tied tho scoro, and it looked as
though Nobraska might win. Doano

oven up. Hood hit safe, but Roedor
was afraid to try for homo, stopping
on third. Hood stole second. T3oll

Tho Gophors wont out in tho tenth

to scoro, but got a man only to sec

right field. Townsend stolo second
and DoPutron walked, Raymond was
