ISpcclal Tolo- pram to Tnn BKE.J By fnr the most excit ing gnme seen in St. Joseph this year wns witnessed by n fnlr sized crowd to-dny , be tween SU Joseph nnd Omnhn. The lontns were evenly matched nnd both played to win from the start. Some phenomenal fielding wns done , and nftcr the score wns tied in the ninth inning by Cleveland's homo run the ox- citcmcnt wns intense. The blanks nftor the ninth inning \vero occasioned partly by orll- Hant fielding nnd partly by luck. The bat ting wns about heavy enough to make things interesting , although noilher side could bunch Its hits successfully. This of course was duo lo Ibo line work of both Clarke and Klopf , In which the latter had n little tbo best of It , as ho displayed n cool head nnd rnro Judgment when men were on bases , nnd when a hit would have won the gnmo. Bath pitchers hold out wonderfully well , considering the length of Iho gnmo , nnd grew more effective towards the end of the game than they wore ut first. They broUo oven on the number of hits secured by cnch tcnin , which wns eleven , but Klopf struck out twelve men to'Clnrko's seven. The Holding of each team was cxccplionnl. For Omaha , Crooks did the best work , with twelve chances nnd ono error. He mndo n phenomenal catch of n high line ball from Ardner'R ' bat In the thirteenth inning , and assisted in a double play , retiring the side , 'when It looiccd Itko n run for St. Joseph. Canavnn also did good work nnd was fre quently applauded for his line running catches. Ho look everything thnt came his way < JS'nglo caught his usual good game , anil throw with great accuracy to buses. For St. Joseph , the best work in Iho field was done by Ardnor , who made several bril liant stops nnd n great running catch. Cart- wright led at the bat with three singles , SI. Joseph earned but ono of her four runs , making the first on a wild throw by Clarke. They bunched their tills in the seventh nnd eighth Innings bill could not do much with Clarke al other times. Up to the ninth Inning It looked like n vic tory for the'homo team. In this inning , with two men out , Cleveland came to the hut , and after two strikes bad been called on him , lifted thn ball over the loft field fence , bring ing in Clarke , who had previously scratched out a hit. This tied the score , a base on halls and n double having given Omnhn ono run in the third , nnd Iwo singles nnd nn error by Smith another In Iho liflh. After Cleveland had mndo bis homo run Crooks struck out. The next nluu men were dis posed of easily In Iho tenth , eleventh and twelfth innings , notn man reaching first base. In the thirteenth Coonoy mndo a single nnd stele second , but neither Walsh nor Ciumvnn could advance him a base und ho wns left ou second. 'Again. In the four teenth , Naglo made a single and got to second end ou Curtis' bad fielding. Clarke struck out and Strnuss cot to second on Krieg's muff of bis high fiy. A hit would now have won the gnmo , but Cleveland and Crooks flow out lo Curtis and Krieg , leaving Naglo ou third and Strausa on second.
