The game which at present attracts
most attention from the baseball
public is that which will take place on
Decoration day at Lagoon, between
the Short Lines and ButteS. Another
treat, however, has been prepared,
which will take place on the same day.
This has been announced for the bene=
fit of those who would like to see the
Buttes and Short Lines play but would
otherwise be prevented from doing so
on account of arrangements made to
spend the afternoon at some resort
other than Lagoon. Yesterday morn
ing just before the departure of the
Butte team for Ogden. Manager Ander
son of the Short Lines proposed an
other game for the morning of Decora-
ton day, which was readily agreed to.
AT 10 "a m. the teams Will meet on
the Fort Douglas grounds. This will
be an interesting contest, as the game
en- Saturday demonstrated how nearly
matched are the two mines.
In the afternoon the Salt Lake &
Ogden railroad will run special base
ball train. leaving the Short Line de-
pot at o'clock. This special will ar
rive at Lagoon in time to call the game,
at 3:45. At the morning game Kidder

Loss of Steamer Jessie In Alaska
Last Summer.

Port Townsend. Wash. May 2S.-The
government will, it is said. investigate
the wreck of the steamer Jessie, which
occurred last summer near the mouth
of the Kuskokwin river. Alaska, with
a loss of sixteen lives.
News of the wreck of the Jessie was
first published last August. Following
the news of the loss of the vessel, it
was reported that her passengers and
crew had been murdered by Indians
after reaching shore. The Swedish
mission station at the mouth of the
Yokutat bay has investigated the re-
port, and, according TO advices just re-
ceived here, believes there was no
foundation for the report.
The Kuskokwin Indians have given a
straightforward account of the wreck
of the Jessie. The high sea prevented
them from going in their canoes to the
rescue of the passengers. They secured
large amount of wreckage from the
barge which the Jessie was towing.
Other Indians who trade along the
coast knew of the wreck. but none of

PROFESSIONALS.

Knickerbocker and Griffin Hadn't
Been In Against Them-Contest,
While Full of Errors, Was Also
Full of Good, Clean, Fast Ball.

There was mourning in the corral of
the wool buyers last night. Unlike the
justly celebrated little Bo-Peep quadru-
peds, the tale of the undoing of this
outfit of baa-baas preceded them. They
were beaten yesterday afternoon by the
railroaders, and beaten by the decisive
score of 20 to 9. The baa-baas have
their side of the story, a id it is husky
side, too. They claim that if the
streak-o'-rust crowd hadn't played
Knickerbocker and Griffin, who are
semi professionals they would have
scored an easy victory.
There was justice in the kick, too,
for there, on the bench, in uniform, sat

hits. The railroaders came back with
one on Griffin'S error and two safe
drives.

While trying to steal second, and D.
Hallet, who also walked, died at third
as the result of similar attempt The
railroad crowd got three in its half.
First Double Play.
In the seventh, Davis gave Gray an
other chance for an error. which was
promptly accepted. Then Harris hit a
punk fly over second, which Griffin
corraled after a hard run, and then
completed double by putting the ball
into Henry's hands before Davis could
get back. Craig was safe at first on
Young's error, and Fouke got free
ticket, but II. S. Hallett fouled to
Knickerbocker.
The railroaders got some action Il.
their half of this inning. They fell upon
Fouke with great vigor, and the can
lonade of base hits and the rain of
errors that followed Melted a bunch of
seven TALES.
In the eighth the baa-baas had their
second time on earth. They hit Hen
derson safely seven times, all singles,
for a total of five runs. If Jim Leary
hadn't gotten under koshlands long
fly, two more would have been scored,
but Jim was there.
Craig was relieved by Knickerbocker
in the eighth. Mick" caught just as
well against his team as he did for it
Henderson's double and Gray's single
gave the All Rails run, the last of the
game.

baas were due for another batting
rally. Three short singles in succession
filled the bases. Then Davis flied to
Henderson, who threw to. Young in
time to catch Dow off the bag Harris
ended the agony by flying TO Griffin.
Full of Good Playing.
The game was full of good individual
playing. Special credit is due to Craig
for his really magnificent windpad
work 1t was his first attempt behind
the bat and he caught like a National
Lacquer this. too, in spite of the fact
that after the first few innings his
hands swelled until they looked like
canvased hams.
Koshiand covered himself with glory
at second, and H. S. Hallett made a.
star play in the eighth. He backed D.
Hallett up when that player let Dever-
eaux's grounder get through him. H. S.

line in time to touch Henry, who was

perpendicular drop and swung some dis
lance from the structure before he as
sumed an upright position.
The passengers jumped from the car
and peered through the railing, while
hundreds of persons on the promenade
tried TO get glimpse of the figure.
KretZS body flashed through the air al
most in a perpendicular streak. He struck
the water feet first, cleaving ii like an ar
row. lie disappeared for some seconds,
and then shot up into view, only to disap-
pear for the second time. The waters had
hardly closed over him when he reappear-

for the New York shore.
One of the deck hands on the steamer
Vulcan, which was coming down the
East river at the time. saw Kretz flash
through the air and disappear in the
water. The deck hand gave the alarm,
and the Vulcan was headed for the young
man. who by this time was swimming. a
line was thrown to KretZ and he was
hauled aboard the freighter. which imme
diately put in for her dock on the New
York side.
When taken on the Vulcan. hretz plac-
ed his hands on his abdomen as if in pain,
but when the boat reached the dock he
sprang from the boat onto the wharf. He
was at once taken into custody and hur-
ried to the Hudson street hospital. Not
the slightest injury was found on his per
son, but he was suffering from the shock.
He was detained on the charge of at
tempting suicide.
Kretz is about five feet eight inches tall
and weighs about $40 pounds. He lives in

book on theosophy and that he wanted to
demonstrate that a man, by exercising
his will power could do anything he wish

Spain Senator Rawlins had the pleas
ure of meeting the distinguished visi-

commodore as he was then, would be
the hero in a brilliant victory. He be-
lieved the nation could well afford to
be just and do full honor to Admiral
Schley and all the heroes of victories
achieved on land and sea.
Governor Wells Felicitates.
Utah" was the topic of the COVER
nors sentiments. He said the people
of this state were prone to believe that
Utah, the last, is the fairest and best
OF her sister states. 1t is a land in
fact and legend overlooking with milk
and honey and the richest of natures

Turning to the guest of honor, the

tires of life on the sea, we invite him to
Utah to live. to grow stronger and rich
among our mountains, whose heads

Admiral Sehley was again called
upon to say d word specially to the la
dies. This he did by saying chivalry
is part of his profession and the COM

in mind by the men-of-warsmen, who
take courage from the thought. Every
Saturday night on board ship the obi
GERS propose toast to their sweet
hearts and wives.
A nation surely dies the admiral
added, when woman is not idolized as
she should be. A nation thus poisoned
must be enriched with pure affection
or it Will die. No man ever accom-
plished anything good without a good |
woman behind him"
Speaking of his visit to Utah and the |

pleasure. The western empire is a |

crowd had gathered about the door TO
see the admiral and Mrs. Schley got
cost. Her husband and those accom-

police to keep the crowd back but such
a thing was almost impossible. The
lady finally appeared on the farther
side of the conveyance. having made
almost a complete circle of the crowd.
