Peter Makers friends are not only
loyal, but legion, and they predict that
II he. other than Kid Mccoy, should
be given the first chance to wrest
Fftzsimmons' recently won laurels
from him. They assert that Maher
has abandoned the intemperance which
prevented his making as brilliant a
showing in his earlier battles as he
might have done. Nevertheless, he
then demonstrated that he was a game
fellow, with a punch like the kick of
mule. He was allowed to go as he
pleased, and had no coaching, but if
he had had the proper training, Fitz-
today. Makers friends are pushing
him for the championship. They seem
to think he is easily better than Cor
bett, and that Corbett knew this when
Maher knocked out O'Donnell at Coney
Island last year, or he would not have
him the belt as he did. Makers friends
claim that Corbett was surprised with
the 1rishman's powers, and doubtless
soliloquized thus:
'Maher whipped O'Donnell quicker
than l could, thus proving that he is
harder puncher. 1t would take me
six or eight rounds to defeat O'Don-
nell, and Maher whips him in a round.
Ii the 1rishman can punch so much
harder than I, 1t is a cinch that he
can take all the punching that I can
deal out to him." Following this line

dred people saw Des Moines turn the tables
on Minneapolis and defeat her by a score Of
l to 0, this afternoon. The first man to bat
for Des Moines, Letcher, made single over
second, advanced to second by a sacrifice and
was sent home by single. That was the
only score of the game. Neither side made
an error. A total of only nine hits was
made, and withal 1t was the most extraordi-
nary game ever played In Des Moines so
early in the season. From first to last 1t
was fast, clean-cut base ball. Ball, at short
for Minneapolis, again played wonderful
fielding game. One Of his throws to first
was nothing less than phenomenal. Mime
apolis got but one to third base, and
only twice did any of the Millers reach sec
ond. In the ninth inning, with one man out,
Wilmot singled to right and Pickett came to
bat. He sent terrific liner between second
and first, and for an instant it looked like
a score for Minneapolis. But by a running
jump, nothing short of miracle Des Moines'
second baseman Mohler, stopped the ball,
touched Wilmot on his way to second and
threw to first in time to make double play
as fitting ending to one of the most excit-
ing games ever played in the city. Carney
pitched the entire game for Minneapolis and
was hit but five times safely. Sonier pitched
the first three for Des Moines, Leighton fin
ishing the game. The latter is an amateur.
This is his first year with a professional
team. In six innings the Millers got but two
hits off the amateur. Score by innings:

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 17.-Today's
game between the Browns and st. Pauls
was close and exciting during the first
six innings, the home team leading
up to that time by one run. Donahue
was pitching for the Browns, and his
delivery was proving very puZz;ing to
the visiting batsmen. KisinSer reliev-
ed "Donny' in the seventh, and for an
inning and a half was pie for Comts-
keys team.
With the bases full in the eighth
inning and one out, Reese Hill, the pride
of the Ozarks, was called to pull the
game out of the fire. He gave MCBride
three straight balls, and then thai fell
low dropped the ball in front of the
plate, the result being that Hill made
a plain, everyday kind of stop and
tossed the ball to Murphy forcing the
runner at the plate. This was luck,
as had Mcbride played the game he
would surely have received free
passage to first, and a run would thus
have been forced over the plate. Pres
ton hit safe for a base, Nichols sin
gled, scoring a run and filling the bases
again. Glasscock followed and sent the
sphere on a line to left field, scoring
Mcbride and Preston. A foolish piece
Of base running, coupled by brilliant
head work by Murphy, Douglas and
Turner, resulted in two men being run
down, retiring the side. Hill was very
fortunate in this inning, for if Mcbride
had waited and received a base on
balls, and Nichols and Glasscock had
not become mixed up on the bases, the
visitors might still have been at the
bat.
Kisinger and Hill were not the only
'phenoms" that exploded today. There
was one other. Andy Fuller, a most
inoffensive kind Of base ball player, who
looks as though he would do nobody
any harm, not even the ball, gave a
weird exhibition of fielding and bat
ting. The best work for the Browns
was performed by DOnahue, Murphy,
Hartman, Cross, Parrot and Turner.
The st. Pauls put up a greatly i'm
proved game over their work of the
day before. Their batting was hard
and their fielding brilliant. Nichols
Mcbride and Preston captured every
thing that came near them. The en-
tire infield played nicely, Holdings

OF argument the friends Of Maher
would willing pick Peter providing he
and the PompadOur were matched.
The most desirable match that Cor
bett can get on in the absence of an
other battle with Fitzsimmons is one
with Maher, opines the Kansas City
Times. A mill between the Pompadour
and the Apollo of Galway would be
great drawing card. The POmpadours

much money as any beaten champion.
Julian's failure to throw Fitzsimmans
into the New York theatrical swirl
while the excitement over the Carson
City fight was fresh was as serious.
financially as for him to permit Fitz
to Immediately announce his with
drawal.
Mr. Corbett's tactics In chasing F'itz-
simmons from town to town are not
taken kindly by liberal sporting men.
1t savorS too much of the whining cur
that snaps at ones heels in the dark.
When Jim beat Sullivan in New Or
leans, Fitz begged for a match, but 1t
will be remembered that Corbett told
him to go and get reputation"
That settled it. Never once did ths
Australian nag at his mantle, but took
on all corners and knocked them down
like ten pins on a regulation alley.
In Steve O'Donnell, Corbett thought
he had a world beater. One who could
go down the line and get all the money,
and in fact he so stated in cold type.
When he saw how easily Peter Maher
took O'Donnell's measure, he wanted
none of Makers game, forthwith jump
ed through the ropes, rendered Maher
the belt, with the proviso that Maher

publicly proclaimed Peter as the
champion to succeed him. Not long
after this Fitz lulled Peter to repose
at Langtry, Tex, and legally Wrested
from him the coveted honors. Stung
to the quick by adverse newspaper
and sporting criticisms, Corbett with
failing prospects staring him in the
face empty box Office receipts looming
up nightly, was forced for projections
sake to meet FitZ. The outcome of
this we all know. He fought gamely
and as well as he knew how and is
entitled to all the credit in the world
for so doing, but 1t stands to reason
that Fitzsommons is entitled to need
ed rest; that too without being hound
ed from town to town by a defeated
man. Billy Brady voiced the sentiment
of every honest sporting. man in the
world when he said THE only thing
for Jim to do now. is to take on Maher
and Sharkey, in fact every man now
before the public and show them he is
their superior. Then force Fitzsim-
mons to again try conclusions If he
cannot bring such thing about, it is
an easy matter to claim the champion
ship and defend 1t against all Corners"
Mr.. Corbett's methods will avail him
little save among a certain element
