at Ill., Hughes pioted Ochltree at the
same weight, while little Parole. fairly
dwarfed by comparison with his two big
opponents. had Barrett in the saddle at
105 pounds, which included three pounds
gelding allowance.
The judges of the race were Senator
Thomas F. Bayard, Ex-Governor Oden
Bowie and Secretary j. D. Ferguson of the
club. Over at the post the three gave the
starter little trouble, going away together
at the tap of the drum. but that official

Ten Brock was securing and he remarked
on 1t to Billy Walker, his jockey. Evidently
this was not favorable omen for the Ken

Round the turn for the last mile a great

The two horses ran locked for a furlong
farther, when, as Ochiltrees neck showed
clear, Parole, on the outside, closed from
the rear with cyclonic rush that landed
him in front at the home turn.
The rest of the way Parole more than
held his own. drawing away from the other
two at every jump and winning in clever
fashion by four lengths. Ten Brock came
again and beat Ochiltree out for the place
by half that distance.
Paroles progress up the homestretch
was one continuous ovation, and the cheer
ing was continued when the brown gelding
and Jockey Barrett came back to the scales
although the bulk of the spectators were
losers on the race. The time was 434.

place, but the one that broke my heart
took place IN Cincinnati on a September
afternoon in 1888. l was then manager OF
the famous Browns, in St Louis. and we
started on the last eastern trip in the lead
for the pennant. We lost two games In
Louisville in the ninth inning. AS all ball
players and ball people know, there is al
ways a certain inning in the game which
some clubs take as hoodoo or an inspira-
ton. We opened in Cincinnati, and the
Cincinnati club at that time was up in the
ranks. Mullane, our pitcher, who was the
thunderbot and the Adonis of the American
Association, had the Cincinnati club shut
out up to the ninth inning, without a hit or
run, and his own club three runs to the
good.
After Mullane had retired the first man
In the ninth inning up comes VIII White
Che of the spectacleS), who had a batting
record, believe, of ninety in the shade and
forty in the sun Tony looked at him and
smiled. VIII threw out his bat and he hit a
ball UP In the air that some people might
term a Texas Lacquer" but 1t was not
An Interstate" Hit.
I would call it an 'Inter-stater." Why
call it an 'inter-stater'' Is this. and coin
the word now-Texarkana was at one time
in the Texas League. The ground was so
situated that the outfield was in Texas and
the infeid in Arkansas, so that any bail that
fell between the out or infield we termed
an ''inter-stater." This hit OF Whites was
one of those puzzling, dropping liners that
fell between the in and outfeld. When
White made this hit, or mis-hit, Tony's man
her entirely changed. To be so near MAX
ing record and be knocked out of it by
such a consumptive hit that of White
broke him all UP. Then began the base hits,
aided by few errors of the Browns, and
Cincinnati won out by making four runs
which exceeded the Browns score by one
run.
An aggressive team that can hit out a
game never loses the confidence of its home
people, for it only takes an error or two on
the part of its opponents to bring on this
batting streak OF the home club. The old
Chicago club of the middle eighties inspired
the home people with such confidence that
they never left their seats until the ninth
inning was over. The old Browns instilled
the same confidence in the home patrons.
and SO did the peerless Baltimore club of
the middle nineties. One OF the greatest
finishes of the old Baltimore club took place
in Philadelphia. where IL went III and made
eight runs in the ninth inning and beat oaIt
the home team.

Clarke Griffith of Normal, ILL.,, and New
York, now manager of the Highlanders, Is
the greatest pitcher ever met, superior TO
his instructor, Radbourne.
Rusie was faster, Dad Clarke had bet
ter slow one-in fact. almost any pitcher
could beat Grif at some style OF twirling-
but for brains, cunning and ability to mix
them all up Grit was the best-and besides
he LASTED long because he took pretty good
care of himself
"Old Hoss'' Radbourne, who also came
from Normal schooled Grit to the jumps,
and when he started in base ball he was a
little blackfaced fellow. with two little
bulbs hanging down from. the ends of his
ears. He was about sixteen years old, and
his guardian signed his contracts, but he
could pitch them just as well as he ever
could. He had the know how.
One day in Washington Griffith was pitch
ing. 1t was In the ninth inning, with Chi
cago one run to the good, two Senators on
bases and Kip Setback at the bat And
Kip could hit a few. One man was out,
and 1t looked like sure tie score, If not a

over, wasted another, dropped a slow
across, and then commenced kidding Sell

is cool and aggravating, and he usually has
perfect command. This day he stopped.

the time kept talking to Setback to get him
nervous.
Put her up here, Dago. and I'll knock
the cover off it," said Kip.

you couldn't hit the grandstand with a
cricket bat"
That sort of repartee kept up for a min
ute. Selbach was waving his bat wildly
setting himself. pulling up his trousers and
perking down his cap.
Finally Grit remarked:
Here you big stiff, hit this" And he
deliberately pitched the ball up as IL toss
ing 1t across room, straight arm, and
without any speed. Setback drew back for
mighty blow, but the ball hadn't arrived
and, before 1t did reach the plate, Setback
got overbalanced. almost fell down, and
the ball crossed the plate waist high. The
umpire called him out, and Setback threat
ened to whip Grit for showing him up.
After trying Milwaukee and Chicago Grit
was out in the old Northwest league on the
Pacific, pitching for Spokane. One after

BASE BALL UNCERTAIN
How Apparently Sure Victories
Have Been Lost.
BY TED SULLIVAN.

Many and many time have l been asked
who was to win when my team was to
play against another crack club. My an
swer would he that could tell better after
the ninth inning. The most conspicuous I'M
certainties of the game have been shown
in the great ninth inning or Garrison fin
ishes'' of famous clubs The first great
Garrison finish took place in Chicago at
Dexter Park in 1870, when the famous old
Cincinnati Reds met the Chicago White
Sox. This finish began In the eighth in
ming and ended in the ninth. No such
scene has been enacted on a bali field since
The Cincinnati Reds were playing their nat
TEST and Brainard the pitcher, was strok-
ing his sidewhiskers with ease and grace
as the Reds were in the lead. The vast
gathering of 5000 persons, who had come
from all over the United States to see
this great game, was spellbound by the
matchless fielding of the Reds. SO sure
was the Cincinnati club of winning that
when the team was going to the field in
the eighth inning, Harry Wright, who was
captain and center fielder of the Reds,
asked Jimmy Woods, captain OF the Chi
Cages, when and where would he like to
have the third game played. Woods re-
piled that the game haa not been decided
yet. The team that won two out of three
games gained the championship of that
time, and as Chicago had won the first In
Cincinnati, it would have to play the third
game. If the Reds won the second in Chi
cago
In the innings UP to the eighth there was
batting storm gathering in the bats of
the formidable Chicago Whites. There
was on the team a combination of players
from the Haymakers of Lansingburgh. and
Troy, N Y, that never sheathed a bat
until the last man was out in the ninth
inning. The storm OF base bits began in
the eighth and never stopped until the end
OF the ninth. When the storm was over,
with the Chicago club the victors, the
background of that ball field held a mad
dened frenzied base ball crowd, whose ac-.
tions and antics bordered on the insane,
and the noise of Niagara was as q babbling
brook when compared with the cheering of
those $1,000.
Defeat of the olympics.
The following year, 1871. another finish
was made on the old lake front grounds,
in which the same Chicago Whites made
another ninth-inning finish, defeating the
olyrnpics OF Washington. a team that con-
tained five of the original Reds OF the
year before. The olympics had the Chi

ever worked by a pitcher. The game was
