CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Sparling dis
turbed the calculations of the wiseacres
in the first race at Washington Park to-
day. 1t was three-quarter-mile dash.
Long Side was the favorite. Nobody
thought of Sparkling, and his atock went
begging at so to l. Carrientes had the
best of the send-off, but Tom Karl and
Sparkling were at his heels. Tom Karl
seemed to be full of run, and heading
Carrientes in the first three jumps he
loped along in the lead to the head of tue
stretch, when he shot his bolt. 1t was now
quite a horse race. Carrientes, Red
Light, Long Side and Sparling were
coming like cloud of dust before a
March gale. 1t was a desperate fight
and Sparllng lasted the longest, win
ming by half length from Long Side,
the latter a length before Red Light.
The bOokmakers were badly Scorched

ONE LONE RUN
All That the Omaha Aggregation
Could Pound Out at Des
lIOIneS.

Special to the Globe.
DES MONIES, Sept. 11.-Nine large
men from Omaha rode out to the base
ball grounds this afternoon in a nice,
large bus. When they came back they
could have been put in a light express
wagon without crOwding it. They
weren't near as large as bef ore the
game. They went out TO play ball and
thev were PLAYED with. The PrOhibi-
tiOnists fed them on slender diet of
ice water and tonight the collie and
cramps were awful. The game was
mighty one on one side. That side was
chiefly Hutchinson. He held the Wis
itOrs at his mercy. He struck out tif-
teen of them-fOur OF them in one in
ning-and then he Smute the bail. His
tWO-base hit in the fourth inning
brought in a run. and his triple in the
ninth brought in another. DeS MOines
started with a rush. and with a streak
of good luck. after Holiday and Shatfer
had been retired. Macullar lined out 4
single and Immediately stole second,
AlVOrd stopped the ball Just in front of
the plate and Nagle threw short to first,
and the runner was safe. Stearns then
lined out a twO-1agger, bringing in two
runs. and afterwards scored on Van
DYKES single. The latter was caught
stealing second ia the next inning. Des
MOines went ont in order, but in the
third singles by Stearns. Phelan and
Huichins' double netted an earned run.
I'm the sixth StearnS' single. 4 stolen
base and Pheian'S hit netted another
run. But it was in the ninth the cold
water crew put it to the visitors shiver-
Ing spines. Phelan led OF with a safe
hit. Then Hutch brought in on tre-
mendOus drive to right center for three
bases. Sage's single brought Hutch ilr
Holiday was put ont at first, and Annis'
failure TO hold Skaters swift line hit
put Sage over the plate. ShafeT was
caught in an effort TO take second and
Macular ended the inning by retiring
on Tebeau's throw to O'COnneu. Des
MOines had eight runs. While they
were getting them Omaha was striving
to get one. They got it in the ninth on
a single by Crooks and O'ConnelFs two

Jack Grace suffers Fearful Pun
ishment.

New YORK, Sept. 11.-There was a
hOtly contested battle at dawn to-day,
at Baychester, on the New York &
New Haven railroad, between Jack

and from first to last Grace was terribly
punished. LIN the first round he was
knocked down and had his nose split
open. The night was for a purse of
500 and a bet of $3.50 on each round.
Grace was knocked about the ring and
ultimately went to grass with a split
nose, two teeth knocked out and both
eyes closed. He was game to the last.
There were nearly 100 persons present.
The battlefield was on the BaychcSter
powder mill grounds, and the specta-
tors were in constant fear of inter
ruptiOn. Grace was terribly used up,
and was taken away by his friends.
