Close (Exciting Game Nebraska Loses on Errors Eleven Innings Neces 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 - dtMU iUl A , ,. :safo hits to scoro. 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 - -- ,- again. xn.tha meantime, Gainco, wit:, ,u, urou,grm on iitsftcerwas wamn with the ball for enough "until we should meet again," that is, I camp at frequent intervals during the he and the ball. Ho matte a hit al( night, were effective in kcepingQr right -and started for first. Tho ' pheus from running any ofthe guard 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 fannod, but Reeder stole second to oven up. Hood hit safe, but Roedor was afraid to try for homo, stopping on third. Hood stole second. T3oll wont out on a fiy. Tho Gophors wont out in tho tenth in regular order, Nebraska tried hard to scoro, but got a man only to sec ond.
