NATIONAL LEAGUE.
At New York.


 New York, April 21.-Eleven innings were tolled off at the Polo grounds yesterday before the curtain of dark ness descended upon the hard fought game between the New Yorks and Brooklyns. And the drop of the cur tain saw no decision. The score was tied-5 to 5. A little more than 1000 persons saw the game,
 Manager McGraw got into the game in the ninth inning. He succeeded Bresnahan, who kicked just a little bit, but enough for Umpire Moran to put him out of the game. ...
 It was ir1 the ninth inning that the most exciting incident of the game was produced. When the New Yorks came to the bat the score was , to against them. McGraw led off and was hit by a pitched ball. Babb got one he evidently liked, for he sent the leather way out to the right field for two bases, McGraw settling on third. Lauder banged out a single. Me Graw ran home and Babb reached third. This made the score ; to 4, with no one out. Gilbert sent a long fly to Householder. in center field, which he nabbed. but Babb succeeded in getting home, thus. tieing the score. The rest of the inning was short and decisive and so was the rest of the game. The score:

 Did you fellows ever hear of the challenge to duel made by Tom Tuck CT to McGraw?p asked Charlie Irwin during 9 flaming bee the other day. Well, Tom and Mac never did get along we'll together after the third baseman accidentally spiked Tucker in Boston one day.. The two were always in hot water whenever they met on the ball field and they were hardly ever on speaking terms. Things came to a head in St Louis and there was plenty doing. After warm exchange of small talk, Tucker turned on Mac and said: We'll fight it out right here and settle it once for all. You take three balls and I'll take three and we'll try to wing each other at ten yards. And you, hissed Tom, I'll catch your three and kill you with the six The umpire ordered them to play ball at this point and no blood was spilled. But Tucker was in dead earnest" said Irwin, in conclu. sion. ..

Tom Jenkins Offers Handicap to
 Parr or Mcleod.

FdFT or MCL0OQ.
 Tom Jenkins, who won his title of catch-as-c -catch-can champion back from Dan Mcleod recently at Buffalo, is of the opinion that he is good enough to offer to throw either Mcleod or Jim Parr of England twice in one hour. Jenkins just now is in the best of health. He has recovered the use of his left knee, which was injured some time ago. In a letter to a friend in Buffalo, Jenkins says: If Mcleod and Parr are anxious to show to the public just how good they are in a handicap match, I will make the fol- lowing proposition: l will undertake to down them one at time on different nights twice in one hour. If 1 fail they can have the entire purse and side bet which i will wager. The strangle hold must be barred. The authorities will not permit it anyway. In saying this I do not wish to detract anything from the relative merits of both men. They know their business and are in the front ranks" Speaking of the coming match between Mcleod and Parr, which is to be held at Buff falo on April 4, Jenkins says: II have wrestled both of these fellows several times, but I am as much in the air as if had never seen them. Their styles are different entirely In my opinion it is a toss-up who will win"
 Ever since Angus Faust of Germany defeated finders Anderson of Sweden his services have been in demand. Faust's manager has arranged three matches for him and he has two more in view Faust's first contest will be with Jack Mccormick of Philadelphia next Friday night at Yonkers. On the following night Faust will meet Hjal- mar Lundin of Sweden at Saengerbund hall, Brooklyn, and on May Tom Sharkey. will be his opponent. The match with Mccormick, as we'll as the one with Lundin, will be under Graeco- Roman rules, best two in three falls to count. In order to defeat Sharkey, however, Faust will have to throw the ex-sai1or three times, in one hour at catch-as-catch-can style. In the event of success Faust will go to Cleveland and meet Tom Jenkins. Faust's other contest will be with Carl Pons, either in Buffalo or New York.

. Virginia" Bradley. cry newspaper 1n the east has devoted columns to the success of Virginia" Bradley's sta- ble at Bennings race track. In fact there were days when the races seemed to be equally divided between horses of Pa" Bradley and Father Bllp' Daily. Did some mu1timillionaire like August Belmont manage to capture purse with one of his high priced ani- naals, the. race followers would say. "Wen, hespent g., ,ooO on that horse and in training him to win a 5000 purse. Wait until Virginia Bradley puts in Q six-dol1ar horse and wins an $500 race with him"
 However, this stricture is not alto- gether just one. Robert Waddel was fancied for the Derby by his owner when all other experts seemed to have been enticed to the camps of the mil 1ionaire's animals. An offer of $15, ,o00 for the gelding was refused by Brad- ley although he needed the money, just before the race. Waddell was badly injured and when Bradley announced that the gelding had been patched up again, critics became furious. They said it would be a shame to drag out the old horse and race him again. Bradley came out the other day with a positive denial that Waddell would ever be raced again. s'The ole hoss done ehrned his keep foh mana yeah, :" said Bradley. "Ef takes any moh of these yeah big classics, it will be with some othah nag"
 i Yet there are men who think it will be- Bradley luck" to capture the Amer ican Derby again with his 15o to shot Ahola. Any horsema1 who can take a rtint of a horse like Boney Boy, that did not cast a shadow on a sunny af- ternoon, and win small fortune with him, might capture a $25,ooo stake with a wooden animal" is the way the pessi- mists talk. Seriously speaking, how ever, t'Pa" Bradley is making the rac- ing game his Hfe's business and he wants to be called character" It helps him to win money. Personally he has no idea of repeating in the American Derby.

,s@ Boston, April 21.-six thousand per- sons saw Harry Bikes defeat Basil De Guichard of Paris Otta Maya of Erie, Pa, and Benny Munroe of Memphis, Tenn. in a twenty-mile motor-paced handicap race here yesterday afterL noon, the opening of the bicycle racing season in New England. Because of difficulty withv the motors. Bikes and Maya started from scratch, conceding one lap to De Guichard and two laps to Munroe. Bikes and Maya went out into the lead at once and for four and half miles hardly twenty yards sep arated the pair. Then whe nthe latter was making an effort to take the lead, both tires on his machine went flat and he withdrew. Bikes Tapped Munroe right after this and on the ninth mile had gained second lap. In the elev- enth mile Bikes lapped De Guichard and from that time the race was never in doubt. Bikes won by almost a mile, ! with De Guichard second, the time 1 being 30 minutes 6 Is seconds.

 Boston, April 21.-It was game and game with the local and Philadelphia Nationals here yesterday, the visitors losing the morning session by a nar- row margin, but coming up strong in the afternoon.
 In the first game McFetridge held the home men down with an arm of steel until the sixth inning, when he flew all to pieces, giving a pass, mak- ing a wild throw and letting Boston tap him for a single and double, net ting three runs Then Hulswftt and Wolverton made errors, and in the eighth Boston won the game through singles by Abbattichio and Carney. In this incing Dexter raised the crowd to : its feet by his catch of Hallman's hard drive.
 The afternoon game was one calcu- lated to raise the batting averages of several players on both sides. Ten hits. including d double in the fifth, sixth and seveneth innings, gave the visitors eia;lit runs and made the game easy for thems Willis was hit hard tbrougl1out, and especially in soft spots. while Mitchell kept Boston's hits we'll scattered. Honors in both bat ting and fielding were carried off by Thomas. the center fielder for the vis- ifors. The scores:

Baltimore, April 21.-It was the real article of ball the New York Ame.i- can league team put up against the Baltimore aggregation here yesterday, and Grifdth's bunch shut out the home fellows at that. Wiltse and Beville, the battery for the Highlanders, did remarkable work. While the local lads connected for six hits, the tall twirler kept them we'll scattered, and they produced no runs, which failure to tally was aided and abetted by the fast and clean work of the infield.
 Besides cutting the corners of the plate so his rival stick artists could not get their weight on them, Wiltse f1elded his position to a finish. He had six assists. Beville supported his pitcher in the highest style of the backstops, pulling down six high and difficult foul flies. The husky dele gate from Kansas City also carried the honors at the bat. Beville rapped a pair of clean singles and smashed out two bagger. He also made two of the four runs for his team. Wiltse was also there with his little club. Two safe hits are down on the score sheet to his credit. The score:

TO HEAT ROOM FOR 81 A YEAR.
An Ohio Scientists Invention May
RevOIutionize the Fuel Question.
Toledo Blade.


revolution of the fuel question is the
well-known scientist of this city, claims his
latest invention, the tramoheater, will ac
complsh. If the invention does all that is
claimed for il it will certainly startle the
scientific world, as did his recent invention,
the trimotor
Colonel Heckert says his invention will
heat houses in cold weather and cool them
in warm weather. 1t can also be used for
refrigerating purposes and a storage bat
terry to produce electric lights. Crude oil is
the only fuel used, and il is claimed that
room of average size can be heated for only
81 year. The plans for the device have
been examined and approved by such emil
nent authorities as Captain Sgsbee and
Commander Melville of the navy.
The new invention will also generate
power and do away with all present the
ories of locomotion. Its scientific principle
is to utilize nine-tenths of the heat, while
present motors use about one-tenth. The
motor is CO constructed that in generating
power for the operation of any plant the
steam can be sent through the building
as heat while attached to the motor is
dynamo which generates the electricity for
lighting the building. Applied to street
cars IL will do away with power houses
and trolley wires. AS applied to vessels
il will not only propel but light and heat
has been examining the motor and is anx-
ious TO see il given practical test.
Professor Kent. the greatest engineering
expert of New York, says in his opinion il
is one of the greatest inventions of the
age New York capitalists are after the
invention, but their overtures have been
refused by the owners. Judge Seney, of
this city is half owner of the patent, and
has taken out patents covering fourteen
countries The enterprise is now in prac-
tical shape to begin the manufacturing of
the motor, and a heavily-capitalzed stock
company will soon be organized.
