THE OMAHA DAILY BEKv MONDAY , AUGUST 14 , 1893. S1IANA11AN LOST A HUNDRED Bormlnghnm's ' dang Laramed the Life Out the Nonpareils Yesterday. JELLEN'S ' PITCHING WAS MUCH TOO EASY Ilrtnn * llnmmoreil thn South Knrt Cut-roil nnd llncked Up Tlirlr Mlitah Hlllrr In ( looil filjli llo- tnlli of tlio On mo. . WAS IT CLOSE ! About as close as from hero to Dos MoI I am speaking of that 100-caso game between the Con ventions nnd Non pareils ot the driv ing park yesterday afternoon. It was a lovely day for ball playing and there was a great array of old-timo cranks on hand to wltnois the sport proba bly Bomowhero In the neighborhood of a thousand of them. Everybody expected to see the two old rivals get the game by the nape of the neck and the fundamental basis of the breeches and yank it all around that half milo track. They thought It would bo a blood-curdling battle from start to finish , as the feeling that has existed botv/oon the two teams all season has been anything but lamb-like. It was virtually a scrap between the north end and south end of the town , and when the sinoko rolled away It would have boon diffi cult to locate the south end on the map. Some thought Shanahan's pets should have played better ball , but I don't know. They fought hard and died hard , and might bo living yet had they been able to baste the Bcncgamblau at the proper tlmol Lycurgus pitched a splendid gamo. So did Jellen. generally , but the Brumma- Kerns got his range at the wrong time that Is for the Nonpareils. Hlmntihnn' * Only Show. The game began right at the beginning , as itrangoas that may appear. Captniu Crelghton opened up by letting Harry Gntowood's third strike escape into the bed of lycopodlums in the rear of the backstop and Harry landed snfo on the first corner. But a load of coal ran over Artie's hand yesterday afternoon , nnd of course ho couldn't be expected to hold everything in Bight. Gatcwcod was feeling pretty gay over this bit of good luck , so ho just dug his heels into Douglas county and before Artiu could got the ball down ho was on second. Then Jack McAuliffe sacrificed him in another ninety feet , and Tom nnd Jerry Mahonoy's out ticketed him across the platter. A large , woll-dellned shout went up from the panlsnns of the south at this a regular rebel yell. Jellon's out from Andrew Jackson Carri- can to first brought In the Bormingbam family. Paddy Dolan lifted ono up to Jack Mc- AullfTo. It looked big and swollen like a ripe doughnut , but Jack , having no basket with him , lot It sink Into the scar and yellow grass. Air. Jellen grew quite dlathormnnous over this decomposed play and lost his head sotne- ivhero between his shirt collar and cravat long enough to soak both Stonoy nnd Lawler with the ball.- . "He's golu'to kill'em ? " cried a big Brum from the bleachers ; then as Jollcn missed the plato by about three yards four times in succession , and forced in Paddy Dolan , ho twitched his mouth across his faoo and ox- clalmcd : "No , ho aiut , he's going to throw the game ! " " * ' ' And when Coal Oil Jonnny Stonoy ambu lated homo on Uoblnson's grounder" to Gate- wood , it was all the crowd could do to keep him from eating his umbrella. Lawldr , too , tried to squeeze In on this play , but Harry killed him at the plate. Artie , however , got to third. IinvB Died fur thu Moment. Jeff Davis then came up , and without much ceremony swatted ono down to Shanahan. The captain ia\v it coming , lllco a big , funnel- shaped cloud , but instead of diving head first after the sphere like I would have done , ho stood as still as the big caglo on the Now York Life. For a brief moment there was a total abolition of sensation or voluntary mo tion on Captain Dave's part , but whether this was induced by a suspension of the functions of the cerebrum resulting from congestion or ruptured blood vessels as he thought of the high old time that hundred cases would occasion down at Bormingham's liquid emporium In the evening I cannot say. Auywny , ho never evinced a sign of lifo until Davis' hit rolled up against his shins like a big prko pumpkin. Then ho snatched at it , seized it by the throat , choked it until It was black and blue in the taco , kicked it in the pants once or twice , then slummed it over to the waiting Mr. FJynn. But too late ; when Mclancthum Flyna drew thu ball to his heaving bosom , Jeffer son D. was glued to first , whllo Michael Kclloy Itobinson was in thu same fix ou sec- Dnd. Dnd.At At this juncture loud nnd swelling anthems uroso from the north on.d. Amidst the din Kelley toro off third , and Artio ran homo. Then there were some more acthoms. Jackson Carrlcan died as quickly and eas ily as If ho had been stung by an asp , out on Bowman's safe punch to right , KobbioKelloi carried in-ttio fourth tally. Lycurgus , foxy boy , retired on a little push to Shanahan , and the south cuds came back to see what they could do. Noiip * llrncHil li ) | n Moment. Captain Dave wa the first "Paroil towlold . his club , but nil ho could do was to burnt InrRo warts on the sldo of the atmosphere and ho foil back to the bench gritting his teeth like an acrosaurus , a bird that used tc make Its haoltat down in the Third ward when Omaha was a bounding prairlo. Bradford looked wan aud pule , nnd Ly. ourgus , in sympathy , mnue him a present ol a bag , and an unturned pitch shoved hut along to third. Mr , Lacey , as graceful ns Bacchus him' self , was the next man to pose before Ly curgus. There was a mean look in hU eye , and when Mlstah Mlllnh unbuoklcd the bal ho smotu It so hard that It looked like a lint of bologna as it shot out into the opalesconl west. It looked good for the round trip , but sc agile was young Mr. Lawlor , and so deftlj did ho handle the maltreated K'obo ' thai I ice was only able to make second on tin Biulto , Bradford , of course , coming home. Hero the south end emitted volumes o aUsonant sound , They wuro so glad to sec their young men uut lllio ball players Instcai of shoemakers. Big Croft throw out his chest like Hcrcule : when ho slew the lion on the slupo it Bocolla ns ho faced Lycurgus , but the bes ho could do was to trundle a puny , slckl' llttlo grounder to first. But MIckey Flyni was made out of different stuff , aud In Boused the ball like Denver Ed Smith hi Qoddard , and as thu ball toro its wa through the odorous hollanthus plants ii Jeff Davis' garden. I icoy skated borne , am Mickey maun for ilrst. Of course ho go there , and would have gene on to second 1 but his coronet fell off during the ( light , am his halrpcttlntr tangled up with his whiskers ho was afraid of running out of lino. It was enough , honovcr. to sot jaws o the south vud iu motion again. But the 'ParelU could got no further , a Dolan llrod Mr. Gatewood out at Unit. In their half the Brums became toomuc ! interested In the balloon that rose lioavei ' ward from Courtland's surf-washed bead b uud thoHUamUmns shut 'em out. ISnrmlngliam Nillcit It tiunn. - The thin ! and the fourth added nothing 1 th'o 'ParelU crund total , but in theio iunitu thu Hrums piled up anothur quartet , tlin in the third and one In the fourth , on a bus on balls , two loud orron , a hit bv a pltuhc balluu < 1aUirou-cuihlan drive by IvnlloyUo' iuson. In the fifth Corrlguu grabbed up X fet full of hay Instead of the ball when Cro Bfnt it down to him , and ho hud to tuako ii < xor.d tnatvh t it. Ho gal ii ill is time , bt throw wldo nnd Croft was out of hnrm'n vrny. Flynn toyed with the brecics.butCJato- wood plugged her safe , and McAuliffe slashed out a two-sackor , which resulted in the most brilliant display of pyrotechnics during the game. Croft scampered homo on tnli famous ilrlvo , and Ontowood attempted to do the same , hut Koblnson made a qululs return of the ball to Dolan , nnd Dolan ( Ired it down to Artio and Harry bro. thcd Ills last within a half foot of homo. But that wasn't all , for on McAullffo's endeavor to make thlnl during the melee Artio slammed the ball back to Paddy Dolnn and Jack's young llfovent out too. It was a cront double , and ovokcd the com bined encore of the crowd It' * nil OUT Now. But there Is not much morn to bo told. The game from this on out went in gobs nnd minks to the Conventions. Boman made a beautiful unasilstcd double play in the clRhth. and In their half MlUo Kelley Hobln- son , who for a change clayed finely all through the game , smashed out a homer with thrco men on bases. H was n long drive to right , and when the ball got back It looked fiat nnd Pulpy , like those uncanny specimens urchaeoloKlsts dig up In ttio volit'j formations. The score : CONVKNT10NS.

Crcodnn mill O repeal in Who .Moot at Itoliy Tonight tin 12vmi Torni . Tonight's fight at lloby between Alex Grcggalns and Dan Creedon should furnish an evenly balanced contest. The great disparity in height and reach which so many of Grepgains' friends harped on failed to materialize on actual measure ments , nnd physically the men are moro of a match than was at first expected. Grcggalns Is taller by two Inches , but when the men shape at the call of time in the llrst round ho will apparently appear to tower over Crccdou by at least live or six inches. This will bo caused by their different positions. Greggains stands up straight , his body ap peal's to loan toward his opponent. This bus the effect of making him look taller than ho really is. Ctcedon seems to stand more solid on his feet and from his waist up ho Inclines his body well back , with his left shoulder higher than his right. This makes him appear sev eral inches Greggains' inferior in height , when in reality there is but little difference. In other respects they break oven , with the exception of the chest measurements. In which Crucdon has quite an advantage. The most surprising fact developed by the meas urements taken was in the length of the reach possessed by each. Most of the sportIng - Ing writers have iu their articles of the last month set off Crccdon's rushing tactics by .clalmln ? au immense advantage for Greg"- gains In reach , which statements the tape- measure has proved Incorrect. Creedon has riot been endowed Vy nature 'with as long ua arm as the ox-San Francisco flro fighter , but makes up the difference In his immense breadth of chest. Greggains' actual meas urement from the tips of his fingers with his arms outstretched as far as possible was 71 inches. Croedon's measurement in the same position was 70 inches , which gives Grcggnlns an advantage of one-fourth of au inch In the reach , while before it was expected - pectod ho was Crocdon's master in this de partment by at least two inches. Creedon always enjoyed the reputation of being a torritto hitter , a rushing fighter , and a rapid finisher , while all of Greggains' victories stamp him a careful , clover and shifty ring general. Creedon's friends claim Grccguins cannot hit hard enough to stop their man's rushes , and in turn the follow ers of Joe Lewis' protogo say that when Creedon rushes ho will bo mot with stiff loft banders that will take the starch out of him. Both the men's admirers are too enthusiastic and probably will bo surprised to see that they are far from being right in their prejudiced ideus , The measurements of the men follow : OHKIAIN3.

According to the Sportsman tlio recent row ou board the Navahoo occurred Ip this way : The men were silling-at the aft rail when an order was given , which was oboycd very slowly. The last man to rise was re monstrated with by ono of the gentlemen aboard the yacht.
