MILWAUKEE, July 15.-Despite the threatening
weather this afternoon over 500 people were as
sembled at the ball park. The game was the
most exciting ever played on the home grounds,
ten innings being necessary to decide the result
Cushman pitched for the Milwaukees, and his
work in the box again demonstrated his superb
ority pitcher, the best that has yet been seen
here. Although he did not exert himself to at
tain great speed, and consequently did not strike
out as many men as is his custom, only four sin
giles were made by the visitors, two of them
being made in the ninth inning. Brown occu-
pied the box for the visitors and hit quite
freely, seven singles and three doubles being Sc
cured by the Milwaukee batsmen. Sexton FUN
bled a couple of grounders and Moynahan made
a wild throw, letting in the tying runs, but apart
from this the fielding of the home club was ex-
cellent, although no especially brilliant plays
were made Homer of the Fort waynes, made
fine running fly catch on hard hit ball and
put it to second in time to re-
tire Moynahan, scoring the only double play
of the game. The Milwaukees' first run was
made in the second inning, when Morrissey
earned first on clean hit over second after two
men were out. Straub followed with another
base hit,which with passed ball and wild pitch
enabled the man from Janesville to reach the
inning on three consecutive hits by Morrissey,
Straub, and Broughton. In the last half Of the
ninth inning the Hoosers succeeded in tying the
game Erek was the first man to
BAL and he earned first on a
hit to Moynahan, which was well fielded but the
umpire decided the former safe, although short
ly before he had declared Behel
out on similar play. Meister
followed with hit to Sexton, who handed it to
Moynahan in time to retire Ereck at second.
Toffiiug also hit to Sexton, who passed it to
Straub and retired the striker, Meister taking
second on the play with two men out. Wood
hit to Moynahan, who threw high over Straubs
head and Meister came in, while Wood rushed
around to third base. Brown then hit fafely and
Wood crossed the plate. Brown attempted to
make second on his hit, but Moynahan put him
out So sure were the Milwaukees Of victory
that the bats were all carried into the club room
when the tenth inning began. Moynahan made
his appearance with blood in his eye. His throw
had lost the game to all intents, and he seemed
determined that he would get it back again, and
stepping to the plate he landed against the first
ball pitched and drove it far out to the left field
fence for two bases. Behel was thrown
out from the pitcher to first Griffin hit to the
shortstop, who duplicated Moynahan's throw,
and Mike scored, Griffin reaching third. Nor
rissey hit an easy one to the first baseman, but
the third baseman let Straub's singer 60 be-
tween his legs and Griffin scored. Broughton
closed the inning with hit to the pitcher Smith
opened the tenth inning for Fort Wayne with
hot grounder to Sexton, who felded in neatly.
Reeves foul Hy fell into the capacious paws Of
Morrissey Homer struck three times at the
ball without hitting it, and shout Of victory was
heard. The score is as follows:
