Calvary Baptists Beat First Congrega-
tionalists in Lucky Game.

Dave Venable who umpired the game be-
tween the First Congregationalists and the
Calvary Baptists yesterday afternoon.
hustled the boys along, and the conse-
quence was that the game was interesting
and snappy at all times, nine innings being
played in one hour and fifteen minutes. the
Baptists being victorious. 8 to 3.
Goodman. who pitched for the Calvarys,
was in the game at all times. He had
good workout and was there from the
jump. Seven hits were bagged from his
delivery, three of which go to the credit OF
Reichard The support given him by his
teammates was ragged, as they broke into
the error column eight times. At that he
won his game.
At times the Calvarys played ball of
first-class order then again they would get
chesty or think they had an easy thing and
would make inexcusable errors, but as luck
was against the Firsts they profited little
by carelessness.
Kelly, at short for the gregationalists.
in the fourth inning was forced to show his
low hit from the bat of Mathews just as
it was about to strike the ground. He
caught the sphere. but before he could re-
gain his feet he had to do the somersault
act.
James was out of form and passed four
men. In the fifth he pitched himself and
his mates out of a hole when, with
three men on bases, two of them get
ting there through his generosity, A. Fen
ton bumped a little teaser to him, which he
promptly returned to Wilkie, cutting Good
man off at the plate, and Wilkie, by an ac-
curate throw to Northedge, threw the
hooks into Fonton before he could land.

Chicago. as he was suffering from higa
fever. but the big twirler refused and said
he would return to his home in New York
Chesbro has not been In the best shape
this year, but Manager Griffith OF the New
Yorks thought his condition was improving
until his attack Monday. The famous
pitcher contracted heavy cold few days
ago and rheumatism developed. The doc
tors now fear a general breakdown. and
say he will be lucky IL able to pitch again
within six weeks
Manager Griffith takes a less pesslmistic
view of the case, though. and hopes Ches-
bro will be able to take his turn within
two weeks.

New York Scored Only Victory in
American League.

The Highlanders won the first game of
the st. Louis series at ST. Louis yesterday
by a score of to 2 in a well played, hard
fought game. Rockenfleld's costly blunder
was largely responsible for the victory He
played second base, and, through indeci-

ing home from third with the winning run.
Howell, who pitched for St. Louis, fielded
his position perfectly, but allowed seven
hits to be made off his delivery. He struck
out four men and made eight assists. The
fielding. with the exception of Rockenfield's
error, was sharp and clean by both teams.

DETROIT, Mich, May 17.-Fickle la re
weather yesterday cheated Jake and the
Nationals out of chance to take a game
from Detroit. The Washingtonians came
over here full of confidence, believing that
the pace they struck In the closing game
at Cleveland would carry them through a

fell part of the forenoon, however, and
started in again in the afternoon. The
weather was clear at the time for calling
play, but the grounds were so soft and the
conditions were against dra wing out

Today the weather is more promising,
and unless the conditions do a somersault

Manager Stahl expects to use Case Patten,
and Armour will depend on Ed Killian.
This presages great battle of lefthandsrs.
Patten is always effective here. and Killian
is in better form than any Detroit pitcher
The Nationals were given great recep-
ton yesterday, -kittredge, who is classed as
Detroit resident now, held levee at the
hotel, and Stahl and the other players were
glad handed by local fans. Indications are
for good houses at all the National games.

MUSIC LOVERS /.
ARE DELIGHTED
WITH KNEISEL

Evidently the Kneisel Quartet has
been remembered from it's former visits
here. Evidently the quartet has been
as favorably remembered as it deserves
to be. Lyric Hall last night for the
first of the Kneisel concerts was hand
somely filled with as finely musical an
audience as San Francisco counts.
The Beethoven quartet in F major
tRussian) was the chief work given
last evening. two movements of a new
quartet by d new Frenchman. G. A.
Debussy, being the novelty of the pro-
gramme 1t was in the Beethoven that
one a little missed the last bigness
the last freedom. But it was all very
charming, very classic, very graceful
IL is impossible to imagine anything
more limpidly clear than the staecafi
in the allegretto. more grayeIy distin-
guished than the adagio The Debussy
quartet is distinct acquisition to
quartet literature. 1t is pre- -eminently
OF the new French school, something
OF the GODDARD quality, but distinctly
characteristic. The first movement
andantino doucement expressif,'' has
distinct flavor of Wagner in the
tonality, in the breadth and freedom
OF the themes 1t is broad and flowing
in movement and most musical. Grieg,
one feels the influence of, in the sec
ond movement, "assez vif, ct bien

ern feel in the harmony, and a
Griegish grotesqueness in the humor.
The movement is truly picturesque,
dramatic. Both were played with mas
terly sympathy
The Haydn quartet in D, a favorite
OF the Kopta Quartet, closed the pro-
gramme, and the Kneisels were pos
sibly at their best therein They will
be heard again at the st. Francis on
Thursday evening and at Lyric Hall
on Friday, and a rare feast is assured
to any music lover.
