Indoor Base Ball Between st.

Teams.

The patrons of the big siX-day go-as-
you-pease race, in the Washington
rink, Minneapolis, were treated to an
exciting heel-and-toe contest last night.
The starters were Peter Hagelman,
"Cowboy' Smith and Frank Hart.
Those who have never seen a square
heel-and-toe race have no idea or the
excitement attached to one or OF the
speed which can be made. Last night
after the first mile first one
would lead and then another.
Smith finished the first in 9:35. Hart
went two more laps and quit. The pace
was 100 hot. Hegelman was leading at
the end of the second mile, which was
made in 1915. The last mile was hot
one. On the last two laps the men
were abreast nearly all the time. Hegel-
man won by two feet; time, 21:56.
Smith Immediately challenged Hegei-
man for another go" which will occur
Sunday night.
Who can pick the winner in the six day
match? The man who can dot andIs
willing to back his opinions with money
can enrich himself to the extent OF all
he will bet. The outcome OF the race
hinges upon several conditions. Cart
wright was leading when day dawned
yesterday morning by tWenty-one miles;
and at one time during the day Guer-
zero was only nine miles behind, but
the pluckv little Englishman kept
pounding away. There is no los
Ing heart with him. When the
evening crowd began to flock
to the big ring he was
further ahead than ever and still going.
If he can last, he will surely win. Last
night he appeared strong and was
travelling easily. Those who know him
best. however, do not believe that he
can keep up the pace at which he has
been travelling. He will never quit
until he has to. His heart is all right,
but his legs may fail. Herty seems the
favorite with the betters. While he was
in third place all day yesterday up to
evening, he was not losing any ground.
He trailed Guerrero closely and
seemed the stronger OF the
two Herty is great hnlsher,
a last day man, and that is what he de-
ponds ulon to win the race Tor nm.
He seems as strong now as when he
started. Guerrero, who hangs to second
place like flea to dogs ear, is still I'D
the race and says he can win yet. There
is no doubt but that the Mexican is still
strong. but his hot Southern blood can
be cooled by adversely. He doesn't like
the looks of another mans heels. But
he will certainly he one OF
the first three, barring accidents.
Little Martin Koran is winning
friends every day by his plucky
racing. He is only boy, but good
one. A brown-halred little girl came
out on the track last night with bou-
Ouef for him, and he responded with
squirt that proved that he still had ''go''
in him. Moore and Day are still trav-
cling easily, and making good time:
Click was taken sick yesterday and
stopped at 34S miles.
Every man in the race will make
over 500 miles, with the possible eXcep-
ton Of ''Old Sport" and even he main
tains that he will do il. He read
two kilograms last night. One
was from Mayor Smith, of
st. Paul, Offering him the Ramsey
county court house in the event of his
covering 500 miles. The other came
from Richard X. Fox, and duplicated
John l.. SuIivan's offer, with the addi-
tional promise of making him Police
Gazette champion of the world. sport
explained that he would nave made a
bigger score yesterday but that he lost
nine miles in the early morning fog.
lie thought the nine miles must be on
the river somewhere. His antics con-
tinue to afford amusement to the crowd
which throngs the rink from morning
till night.
At II last night, ninety-slX hours from
the start, eight men were still in the
race, although 1t was not thought that
Day would return to the track. Click
was also in pretty bad shape. All the
others were feeling quite well, Guerrero
the freshest. The score stood:
Cartwright. ........ 40S Koran. ............. 30
Herty ........ $50 Campana. 32(
Guerrero. 3S3l Click .3l4
Moore $40 Day. ...............3O BOT
