Classic Base Ball.

The best game of base ball ever play
ed in southwestern Wisconsin was that
between the Highland and Mineral
Point clubs at the Dodgeville fair last
Thursday. Fourteen full innings were
played, at the conclusion Of which the
score was 2 to ! in favor Of Highland,
and all of the three runs were made on
errors.
Ovitz, for Mineral Point, proved a
pitching star Of magnitude. BY giving
him the benefit or dropped third strikes
he struck out twenty-five, while only
four scattering safe hits were made off
him. This feat is the more remarkable
in consideration of the fact that he had
been troubled with a sick stomach for
| fully twelve hours before the game was
called. and that at about the sixth in
ming his stomach so rebelled that h
was forced to vomit. The grit, endur-
ance and skill displayed by him STAMP
him as a wonder of the diamond. i
was hard game to lose. In the four
ltaenth inning, after the bases had beer
filed by misplays OF feeders and th'
blindness of the umpire, Ernie strucl
out two Datters and had two strikes o.

Struck by Falling Steel Order.

A steel girder falling from the eighth
floor of the new Commercial National
Bank building, Clark and Adams streets,
Chicago, to the sidewalk, Monday after
noon of this week, struck r. II. Lanyon
infiicting very serious injuries. His son
Melvin. IA years old, accompanied him
and ne as also injured.
This is as the accident was reported
in Chicago's Tuesday papers. h. H.
Lanyon is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Robt.
Laryon of this city, and it is understood
that he and his son We're on their way
to the Union depot to take the train
for a visit with Mineral Point relatives.
The injured man was taken to hos
pital. His father went in from here.
No further particulars up the time the
Tribune went to press.
The girder was suspended from
derrick by hempen rope, and reports
say there was no protecting structure
to break its fall. 1t is miracle that
Mr.. Lanyon was not killed instantly.

the thi.G when an infeld hit was allow
ed to get away and the winning run
came home.
Or the other hand, Babcock, the
Highland pitcher, never performed SO
well before. He had the opposing good
batters practically at his mercy, and
luckily there were not so many errors
behind him. He is credited with four
teen strike-outs.
1t was really pitchers battle, there
fore further comment on the game
seems unnecessary. The thousands who
witnessed it were held spell bound and
most of them never expect to see an
other game quite as good, that is, be-
tween non-professionals.
These teams come together again to-
morrow friday afternoon at the fair
grounds in this city. It's their ninth
clash this season. Each has won four.
Don't miss this important and spirited
contest.

the first capitol of the state was located.
The building is now being used as COW
shed and pig sly.
'I'm proud of being Wisconsin born, =
said Mr.. Jones, ''but I'm thoroughly
ashamed of the present con 1ition of the
cradle of the state. Think OF the scores
of noted men who sat within those sa-
cred walls. Think of the important
measures that have been decided there.
Can it be that the people of Wisconsin
are to leave this sacred building an old
weather beaten stable and pig pen? It's
disgrace to platteville and the vicinity,
it's disgrace to the state. why it's ev
en- a disgrace to the whole country.
The normal school students are talk
ing of starting a movement toward the
preservation of this building.
Mr.. Jones also made a strong plea for
the purchase of Platte Mound by the
state and its preservation as public
park
wisconsin has many beautiful spots
and |, as an expert tramp, have hunted
out and found the most of them, he
said. ''but | have never seen, in all the
state, another picture so moving and so
beautiful as that from Platte Mound. "
