ANDERSON'S NECK.
Attorney Blackwell Will Petition to
Governor AnSel to Commute
the Sentence,

the Sentence.
Attorney II. S. Blackwell, who to-
gether with Attorney W. r. Richey, Jr.
was appointed to defend John Henry
Anderson in the recent general ses-
sessions court. has circulated a peti-
ton in an effort TO save the negro
from hanging. The petition is sign
of the city and also of Waterloo, the
scene Of the murder of which Ander-
son was convicted; it was presented
to Governor Ansel Tuesday
Anderson was convicted on Wednes-
day, the 18th, of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced by Judge Prince
to hang on Friday, April %.
Attorney Blackwell will do all in
his power to save the negro's neck,
fer which he is receiving no remuner-
alton at all. Mr.. Blackwell firmly
believes the negro is crazy. or sub
ject to crazy fits, and will so plead
with the Governor. Solicitor Cooper
stated last week that with the pres
ent lights before him he would not
sign petition for Communication to
lifc imprisonment in the penitentiary
However, the Solicitor desires an cX-
animation OF the negro by competent
physicians, and VIII act on their re-
cOmmendation in the matter; for. as
he said. Il don't want crazy man
hanged

money the first OF the week by cap
turing an army deserter. He gave
his name as d. r. Robinson, and he
was formerly with Light Bat
terry at Ft. Riley Kan, deserting on
December 14th last. A hobo who was
travelling with Robinson gave the
army deserter away and was respon-
sible for the officers getting wise
to the fact. He also expected to
receive a portion Of the reward, but
In this he will be disappointed, as
the officers had made other arrange

snort to first, and Meyers followed With
a double and he sent in the sixth r,,yN
OF the inning. Crisp, on his second
turn at the bat, hit to left, and Movers
scored. The only thing that would tie
the score was a home run, and Brady
was sent in to bat for Heuser. He died
on a bounder to Vowinkle to Clancy.
and the great game was over.
Gettman's Game.
In the second game "Quick jake Gett-'
maj figured almost as the whole show.
He drove in two runs and scored one
himself. Not only that, but he had a
triple and a home run to his credit. In
the second inning Jake hit a home run
to the centre field bleachers. Schirm,
the Herds fielder, in running for the
ball backwards struck the little fence
in front of the bleachers with such
force that he turned a complete somer-
sault, n that he vas not injured Is a
miracle. The accident happened In this
tanner: Schirm vas playing deep for
Gettman, and when Jake hit, the little
o%utfielder started to run backward at a
good clip, so as to be able to catch the
ball. He was going at a good clip, and,
although the fans yelled to him to look
out for the fence. he was unable to
stop. Striking the fence with such
force that his feet shot out from in UNI
der him, throwing his body completely
over and clear of the fence, and he
landed in the seats. He was stunned
and couldn't speak at first, but after
being treated by the players of both
teams and fans, who rushed to his aid,
he resumed playing. Some say that he
caught the ball and it fell from his
hands when he collided with the fence.
Others say that it just touched his
glove. Anyway, Umpire Byron declared
it a home run drive. The Bisons had a
one-fun lead over the Tigers at the end
of the seventh inning, the score being
2 to 1.
That Eighth.
In the eighth the Tigers tied the score
and then sent two runs more over the
pan, thanks to Jake Gettman. Crisp
started with a hit, a passed ball put
him on second and he stole third. After
Brady, who had relieved Flater in the
fourth inning, and Louden had famed,
Kelly got a life on Woods's tumble of
his ~grounder. Kelly stole second and
went to third on Schlafy's hit, which
Brain was unable to hold. The Tiger
second baseman hen stole second.
Here, is where Gettman played the hero
part for the second time. Big "Rube"
Kissinger, who had taken Dummy"
Taylor's place on the mound in the
fifth inning, served n up to Gettman
that Jake found to his liking and ham,
mered it to the centre field bleacher
fence for three bases, scoring Kelly and
Schlafy.
The fielding of both teams yesterday
was good and many brilliant plays were
pulled off during the w games. Buff
falo worked two. squeeze palys, while
nothing was nipped in the bud, by
Sharpe and Wolverton. who executed a
pretty double in the fourth inning OK
the first game.

Baseball of every description and
afternoon at Wiedenmayer's Park i'll
the double-header between Buffalo and
Newark. In both contests there was
enough variety to suit the most rabid
fan. The dual card was shared when
the Herd won the first, 9 to Z, and the
Tigers the second, A to 2.
Both games were "hummers,' but the
great rally the Tigers made in the first
game in the ninth inning when they
sent seven runs over the pan, made his
tory In baseball in this city. After be-
ing held to M hit by Vowinkle, awho
did the twirling for the Bisonss until
the ninth inning, the Tigers got their
bats swinging and before the side vas
retired Rip was touched for sever
hits. which included four doubles and
netted just seven runs. Maybe there
wasn't some batting in that ina inning,
and maybe one pitcher, by the name OF
Vowinkle, wasn't glad when it was
over. In the first eight innings RIP"
had the Tigers at his mercy and ex-
actly twenty-five batters faced him.
Kelly, in the first inning, got a double
and from that time on until the ninth
the Tigers wentout in Indian file.
Rochester comes here today for the
first of a series of three games n
high class ball playing is promised.
The Hustlers, who are leading the
league in the race, received a nice set

the Tigers be able to trim them again
today it would be a big help. The next
three games between these teams prom

In today's game it is likely thai Frill

A Dream Shattered. B.
The Bison curve artist was beginning
to think that he would have his nam
carved in the hall of fame for pitching
a shut-out game, and allowing but one
hit. 1t was not to be, for in that final
round the Tigers came mighty close to
walking away with the game. Had not
the Herd got UGH a big lead early in
the game the result would nave been
different and the Bengals would have
been one more game, to the good. KID
Mueller, who started for the Tigers,
lasted just six innings, and while he.
was on the mound he was touched for
nine hits, which Melted six runs. They
we're not all made on hits, for the kid"
contributed three wild pitches, and
gave two bases on balls. kid" Heu-
ser, who took his place, did good work
while he was on the mound. Although
three runs were made off him it was
not his fault.
Crisp's CrImp in Things.
Joe Crisp put the first crimp in Vo-
wrinkles ambition by hitting for a
double in the ninth. After Heuser
reached first on an error, Louder and
Kelly hit safely. When Schlaf1y was
disposed of, Gettman and Wolver-
ton did their duty and the Bison
twirler ives yelling for help. Kis-
singer was sent to warm up by
