NINETEEN-INNING
GAME TODRUMMERS
St. Joseph Wins Record Fray
When Otto Merz Weakens
After Hurling ueDl
BABE ADAMS GOES ROUTE
The longest game in the history of
the Western league was staged at
Rourke park yesterday between
Omaha and St. Joseph. St. Joseph
won in the nineteenth inning, 6 to 4.
The game started out a pitchers'
battle between Babe Adams and
Marty O'Toole, former teammates
with the Pittsburgh Pirates. O'Toole
got some bad breaks in the luck and
until the ninth inning the Drummers
led, 2 to 0. A sensational rally in the
ninth gave Omaha two runs, dead
locking the count.
O'Toole was derricked for a pinch
hitter and t'to Merz took up the duel
with Adams. Otto hurled superb ball
until the nineteenth, but in that frame
he blew up and the Josies ran four
runs over the plate.
The Rourkes had a golden oppor
tunity to count in the very opening
stanza, but blew it. Burg opened with
a walk, Krug beat out an infield hit
and Shag Thompson beat out a bunt,
lilling the bases with no out. Bnt
Smith forced Burg at the plate, Brad
ley popped up and Irelan whiffed.
Drummers Score One.
The Drummers put one over in the
second. After Henry went out
Adams singled to center and took sec
ond when Shay drew a pass. He went
to third when McCabe forced Shaw
at second and registered the tally
when Brokaw dropped Kirkham's fly
to right.
A walk to MdClelland, a short
passed ball, a wild pitch and Henry's
infield hit scored one for St. Joseph
in the fourth.
The invaders held this lead until the
ninth. That round was a thriller for
fair. After Bradley grounded out
Irelan and Brottem both walked. Bro
kaw slapped a single to right, scoring
Irelan and advancing Brottem to sec
ond. Brottem tried to take third on
the hit, but was thrown out, B. Smith
to McClelland. That is, the umpire
called him out. The unanimous ver
dict of the fans was that he was safe
by a couple of miles and it did look
very much that way, as McClelland
had to "go down" on Brottem with'
the ball after Tony had slid into the
bag. A near riot ensued when Umps
Miller called Tony out. Scores of
cushions were thrown at the umps
and it is probable pop bottles would
have been used, but no pop was cold
yesterday and cushions were the only
missies on hand. A number of the
fans rushed onto the field and if
Omaha hadn't tied the count a mo
ment later Mr. Miller probably would
have come in for some rough han
dling. '
Miller had been giving the Drum
mers the edge all afternoon and the
fans were some peevish.
Krug Is Banished.
Marty Krug put up such a strenous
protest that he was fied out of the
game.
While the play was being made on
Brottem at third Brokaw took second.
He went to third when Shay boblcd
Shaw's grounder and scored on Burg's
dirve to left. Cecil Thompson batted
for Krug because Marty was canned,
and struck out. This added to the
fans' displeasure at the umps because
Marty might have come through with
a hit.
The Rourkes had another glorious
opportunity in the tenth. Shag
Thompson and Smith started it with
singles and Bradley was safe on Mc
Clelland's error. A second time were
three men on base with no out. But
Irelan fell down again and Shay con
verted Brittem's hard grounder i- i.
a double play. '
One Hit in Nine Innings.
Merz, who succeeded O'Toole,
hurled great fcall until the fatal ninc
' tcenth. For nine inning! he allowed
hut one hit and not a Drummer got
past first base.
But he weakened in the nineteenth.
After McCabe went out-Kirkhain
and Moore both singled to right. Otto
took care of McClelland, but Wright
busted a triple to center, counting two
tins. Smith beat out an infield hit
and Henry cracked a double to right,
adding two more to the count.
The game was the longest on rec
ord. Several games of eighteen in
nings have been played by the Omaha
club, but nevr one of nineteen in
nings. The Rourkes and Drummers play
again today. It will be ladies day
and the game starts at 3:15.

Notes of the Fray
The count on hits for the first nine Innings
was four off O'Toole and eight off Adams, 1
but Babe got the breaks in the luck.
Shaw made twn nlcn rnfchn nt tin Arvcm
in left. The now catcher looks like he would
make a good utility man as well aa assistant
to Brottem.
Shag Thompson negotiated the only stolen
base of the game.0 Shag la out to lead the
league In stolen bases this year and Intends
to get at least one in every game,
Bill Bradley made twenty-seven putouts,
the number for an entire nine-inning game.
The crowd was about 4,000, and most of
It stuck for the flnlBb. ,
Mers had pitched eighteen scoreless In
nings until he blew In the nineteenth. He
hurled a shutout against Joplin Friday.
It was 7- o'clock before the fray ended.
Earl Smith went In at short when Krug
was banished and Ben Shaw In left. Earl
bobbled the first grounder hit to him, but
gobbled up, the others. He almost tore
Bradley loose from his foundations with one
of his throws to first.
Babe Adams made what proved to be a
wise move In the seventeenth, Shaw was
on third and Thompson on first, with two
down and .Earl Smith up. Adama probably
gave Smith four wide ones to take a chance
on Bradley. Big BUI couldn't touch Babe
and grounded dut.
Tony Brottem had two clashes with Umps
Miller. Miller not only called Brottem out
on the questionable decision at third but
Tony believes he robbed him of a two
bagger. The ball was a drive over first.
Tony and the fans thought It went Inside
the bag, but Miller held It was a foul.

PEOPLE OF CHINA
STANDINGJITH D. s.
Despite German and Japanese
Efforts to Contrary, Sym-
pathy Unchanged.
WILL FOLLOW OUR LEAD
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Peking, March 20. China's deci
sion to join with the United States in
its protest against the new German
submarine campaign was received ,
with marked enthusiasm by a great
majority of the Chinese press.
For days befbre the cabinet reached
the decision to support the Ameri
can position the more progressive
newspapers and younger members of
Parliament were active in urging
China to assert itself and take an in
ternational position along with the
great world powers, which are resist
ing the new submarine regulations.
It was new China, rather than old
China, which aligned itself with the
United States. Many of the older
members of the cabinet, as well as
older parliamentarians, were opposed
to the movement.
German financiers and diplomatists
worked hard to prevent China from
taking a position along with the
United States. Offers of loans were
made, the past acts of friendship on
the part of Germany were recalled,
and the recent "aggression" on the
part of Japan was cited by the Ger
mans as a reason why China should
retain Germany's friendship and .in
voke its aid in preventing Japanese
expansion after the war.
japan's opposition to China's en
trance into the war, which prevented
China from becoming a belligerent on
two previous occasions, was not
wholly relaxed. Japanese politicians
worked far more quietly, however,
than on previous occasions. The in
vitation from the United States for
China to join in the protest against
the German submarine campaign was
far different from the overtures from
England, France and Russia for the
entrance of the Chinese republic into
the entente.
Much as the Japanese leaders dis
like to see China take , its position
along with the world powers-with a
chance that it wil! figure in the peace
conference following the present war,
they could not consistently offer
open opposition. Chinese officials
were solicitously advised against
haste, and many efforts were made in
directly by Japanse to prevent China
from accepting the invitation of the
United States.
When the cabinet reported to a,
joint session of the house and senate
that it had decided to avail itself of
President Wilson's invitation, there
was much enthusiasm. All the mem
bers of the cabinet appeared before
Parliament and asserted that hun
dreds of Chinese lives already have
been lost as a result of the German
submarine campaign. A very large
number of Chinese were killed when
the British steamer Harpalyce was
torpedoed between Rotterdam and
Newcastle. Many Chinese were also
killed on French and Japanese steam
ers torpedoed in the Mediterranean.
The cabinet members explained that
the extension of the German subma
rine campaign would mean a greater
loss to Chinese lives and oronertv.
Should the Chinese government fail
to protest against the new campaign,
the cabinet members insisted thab
China would be supinely oermittins
new principles to be written into in-
ternational law which are wholly in
violation oi numan warfare.
i'atil b. Kemsch. the American min.
ister, has been highly praised by the
Chinese press for his successful efforts
in winning the leaders of the Chinese
government over to the fosition of
the United States and including them
to take a stand against the extension
of the submarine campaign.

a representative of the more modern
newspapers in China; says of the Chin
ese action: 'Althoug . the maximum
