Shrubb's second lap came hard The duck-lerged iitfld Frenchman had fairly warmed up to his work. and while it was plain to every man in the park that St Yves had nd chance to win. that discouraging fact did not keep Henri from doing his level hest until after a chase of three miles. The band again played "Rule, Britannia" as the Englishman led his second lap, put ting him one-third of a mile ahead in the eighth mile
 At the end of the ninth mile the men were one minute and nine seconds ahead of the time by Durando and Longboat at Buffalo. but from the ninth milo on the men gradually slowed down. Shrubb, with the race won. saw no reason for ex- ertins himself unnecessarily, and as for St. Yves. he knew he stood no chance to get away from the long-legged shadow.
 In the fourteenth mile St Yves created a little excitement by starting a sprint and opening up gap at the beginning of the last mile
 The latter seemed to be tiring, but with the race won by a safe margin the Eng lshman allowed St Yves to take back a portion of the two laps which he had lost When the pistol sienalled the lap.

"No Home-Ground Victory Yet"
ShYnbb Beats 6. Ybes

New York, April 4.-(Special.) )-Before 5000 shivering spectators, Alfred shrubb, the great middle distance runner, easily defeated Henri St. Yves in 15-mlle race at American League park tonight Shrubbs time for the 15 miles was 1:26l2. and St. Yves was beaten by IA laps, or nearly one-thlrd of a mile.
 The little French Marathon star had all his speed and his short legs flew as fast as ever, but he was up against Shrubb at Shrubbs own game. And ho never had chance after the first fierce mile in which St. Yves out to his extreme limit. was beaten by 75 yards. After that 1t was only a question of how far shrubb would win.
 The race was fast for eight miles, but when shrubb made his second lap he fell in behind St. Yves and allowed him to set the pace St. Yves did little sprintlng after the eighth mile, evidently realizing that he had met man who could run him Into the ground at the 15-mile game
 Shrubb wasted no time when the pistol cracked. He sprang out in front of the little Frenchman and went down the stretch like a quarter-mier. St. Wet tried to follow him, but his short legs were not equal to the task, and the Brit ish colors went down to center field well in front. Shrubb sprinted the entire first lap, and at the tape was 25 yards in front and gradually drawing away at the end of the mile, which was run in 4:54 Shrubb had a 50-yard lead and had struck his 15-mile gait.
 In the fourth mile Shrubb made his first lap. and after taking the pace for half mile again went out in front St. Yves made game attempt to stay with

While these bad Nashville fellows who drubbed us Friday and Saturday are in Memphis playing the tailenders we wight all get together-the fans, and the players, and the owners, and the writers-and talk 1t over among our selves.
 The first thought that presents itself is that we lost two games at home last week. We lost one because we were rotten and the other was ilched by a careless umpire.
 Nothing we can do will prevent us losing some others to the umpires un- less the umpires get better. But we can keep from losing others in the man ner we lost Saturday.
 That was all our own fault and we must correct ourselves.
 Over anxiety to win causes many de- feats.
 In Atlanta the other day Fleharty was 30 anxious to hand the Crackers a sec ond defeat that he pitched really too carefully. Had he shot a few over and trusted to luck he might have got away with the game he pitched so well. Then there was Fords game in Montgomery. Ford pitched so well for seven innings that he was all in' when the eighth rolled around.
 And yesterdays game probably would have been won but for our lover anx- iety" There was Andy Bowen at sec ond. Prior to yesterdays game he had made no error this season. In the be- ginning he had an opportunity to make & double, but he did not stop to steady himself and threw badly. Again he had his arm raised to throw and dropped the ball from his fingers.
 That spirit which drives a man to any extremity to win IS fine.
 The love of victory is natural and the team which lacks it Is wholly unworthy and should be driven from town.
 But just sit steady in the boat all the time and don't be too anxious. So far the team has shown up splendidly The fans appreciate the magnificent spirit of the players and are behind them
 As soon as a little more strength is added-and it will be, beyond all doubt nothing can keep the Barons down in the race. A more plucky little aggrega- tion was never seen in the south We are fighters over here, and no game has yet been lost without the other fel- lows knowing that a terrific struggle has occurred.
 The spectators have been given a run for their money. They have seen snap py, close games, and this is what they want to see. Of course, they would prefer us to win every day But no man has kick coming so far.

ABOUT cRANsToNs INJURY.
Memphis Man Badly Injured By Harry
 Matthews.

Memphis, April 24.-Cranston, Memphis second baseman, who was badly spiked Thursday in New Orleans by Harry Mat thews, reached home today. His leg is in a bad condition. His wound is on the ankle, and the cut goes to the bone.
 Cranston states that he was receiving 4 ball to force Matthews out at second He remembers being struck and bowed over. He then lost consciousness. It seems that Matthews jumped on the fallen man, by accident, it is reported this accounting for the cut wound.
 Cranston may be out of the game for a month.

DORANDo TRIMS MALoNEY,
Italian Has Pleasant Frolic With the
 American.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 24.-(Special.) ) On track which was already clearly short, Dorando ran away from Matt Maloney in 15-mile race at Savin Rock this afternoon and won in the time of 1 hour, IA minutes and 40 seconds. If the track was known to have been meas ured exactly of course the time would constitute a worlds record, but Dor ando was at no time pushed hard. He took the lead at the start and was 20 yards to the good at the end of the first lap. He had Tapped Maloney before seven miles had been covered. Both men ran practically side by side till the last lap when the Italian shot ahead and won by lap and quarter.
 Johnny Licteig of this city won the 10. mile amateur open race in 5s minutes.

WITH THE SCRIBES.

Manager Molesworth of the Birmingham team has purchased Moxie Manuel from Cosmiskey of the White Sox
 Manuel has pitched some magnificent ball in the Southern league, being with the Pelicans for several years, the White Sox chief getting him from Frank. He will unquestionably make the Birming- ham team very strong; but Molesworth is not going to rest on this deal, but Is now dickering for the sale of Ralph Saw idge, the ex-Memphis finger-nail pitcher, now with Cincinnati.-Mobile Item.
 The splking of Cranston by Matty Matthews ought to be investigated Mobile Item.
 Moxie Manuel is said to have been bought from the Chicago American league club by Birmingham.
 If that Is true it is only another evil dence of the fact that when a man goes with winning club in either of the big leagues that he does not stand much chance of getting along unless he has big streak of luck.
 Manuel Is a good pitcher and with a club not so high up in the game as the Sox, might have been in the American league yet
