Joplin. No, Sept. 5.-Blaine QCurbin,
the premier slab artist of the Western
Association recently purchased from
Joplin by the Chicago Nationals, and
Elmer Meredith, who was member Of
Jimmy AEanning's Kansas City team
when Il won the pennant, might have
established a new worlds record Tues
day afternoon had not darkness stopped
the game. As It was they went on rec
ord as participating in the third longest
no run game ever played.
It was a battle Of sOuthpaws and for
20 innings the Joplin and Webb City
leans fought and when the game was
called on account of darkness. after
three hours and ten minutes OF pay
neither team had scored.
Durban allowed but five hits and

team reached third base.

which he possessed
In the second inning with one down
Dilrbin hit baltimore and two safe hits
following filed the bases, but the fol-
lowing batters could not hit the pan
out OF the diamond.
In the seventeenth inning, with one
down, baltimore reached third base on
MeDilIs failure to field Durbin's quick
throw: but Durbin again had the re-
serve power to perfect his shutout-
webb City had four runners on second
base in the last Is innings Of the game,
and three Of these died there when Dur
bin proved the master of Dick Rohn
the home run hitter Of the Webb City
team, and one of the most dangerous
sluggers in the Western Association.
In the last Is innings but single MT
was made off Durbin. BaerWald's work
in right field for Joplin was also a fea-
ttlre. Elmer Meredith, who pitched for
Webb City, has grown old in the ma
fionaI game. His curves were breaking
in fne shape and he kept the Joplin
siuRgers hitting fouls throughout the
contest. He showed no signs OF exhaus-
tien at the close of the game.
IN the eighteenth inning Armstrong
smashed a high one to deep right cen
ter which looked good for three bases,
but baltimore made a circus catch, re-
firing the Joplin manager, so that he

BRITISH RUNNER THE BEST.
Nelson Defeats DAILY is Yards in a
Three Mile Race.

New York. Sept. 5.-WiIliam Mel
son. the English runner, who recently
arrived in this country and Joined the
Pastime A. c., distinguished himself as
a runner of gameness and pluck by de-
feating his traditional rival, John J.
DAILY, of the Irish-American A. C., in
the three mile scratch race at the
games of the Eccentric Firemen, held
at Celtic Park, before a crowd of TO-
600.
Nelson has been competing in this
vicinity for nearly two months, and all
though ne ran well he never succeeded
in beating the crack Irish runner. IN
stead of going out in front and making
the pace, he allowed DAILY to do the
hard work. There we're only four
starters but at the end Of the first
mile. DAILY and Nelson were fighting it
out alone.
Daily led all the way up to the
eleventh lap, just past the two mile
mark. Then Nelson tried to get IN
front, but the Irishman would not let
him. So Nelson waited until the
stretch. when he sprinted and passed
his opponent winning the race by
about fifteen yards.
John J. Flanagan distinguished him
self by taking three first places. He
got first in the sixteen-pound hammer
throw, the ffty-six pound weight. and
the discus The last event was won by
him with a handicap Of fifteen feet
which enabled him to surpass the
champion. Martin Sheridan.

CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-As a step
toward city ownership OF the street
railways, Chicago is to have the po-
litest elevator operators in the world

Dunno has appointed a master Of
ceremonies, whose duty it will be to
see not only that the elevators are
well handled, but that operators
manners are model for all man
kind. The step was taken by the
municipal ownership mayor in ans
wer to much-quoted argument Of
the late Marshall Field:
When Chicago is able to give a
decent elevator service in the city
buildings" he said, "I will be will
ling to talk of municipal ownership
OF larger utilities. Not before"
