to 8, in an Exciting
Contest.

NEW YORK, April 2o.-New York de-
feated Brooklyn today, to 8. in an ex-
citing game that ended with a fist fight
and a near-riot. Brooklyn had taken
the lead in their half of the ninth inning
on two bases on balls, a sacrifice and
Wilson's error, the last a throw over
Herzog's head, which let in two runs. In
the Giants half Groh' singled or Rucker,
who had replaced Stack In the box, and
Wilson, who had just handed Brooklyn
two runs, drove the ball into the upper
right wing OF the grandstand for q home
run, scoring Groh ahead of him and win
ming the game. Catcher Erwin claimed
the hit was foul. Manager Dahlen Of
Brooklyn ran up to Umpire Rgler, nudg-
ing him, and Rigler retorted by putting
his fist to Dahlen's face. The two men
were engaged in a hot fist battle in spite
of the efforts Of the pitcher and Coach
Robinson Of the Giants to separate them,
when the crowd surged on the field.

clubhouse little the worse for the scrim-
mage.
There was considerable argument all
through the game, both Fletcher and
Myers being ordered of the field. Man
ager McGraw of New York was suspend+

Umpire Finneran yesterday.
President Ebbetts Of the Brooklyn club
later sent formal message to President
Lynch of the National League asking
that Umpire Rigler be punished for his
unwarranted assault upon Dahlen." The

practically the same number of hits as
did Williams, the former was master of
the situation at all times and took things
easy after his team secured the lead.

followed by Fftchett's single. an over
throw Of second by Owen and Landes'
home run to right. resulted in three runs
for Virginia. Another trio was added
in the fourth on a base on balls to Hew-

successful squeeze play by Grant. scoring

without it's effect, as Landes injured his
ankle SO badly in sliding to the plate az
to necessitate his retirement, McMorris

played safe, nevertheless bringing her to-
tai up to ten runs. vonkolintz singled

inning of the game that the local team
really had a chance to score. The field

people Of the city of Lisbon the most
awful event in the history Of that coun-

came a hollow rumbling sound, as of
thunder, and Immediately after the ter
rible convulsion Of the earth which
shook down houses and buried or
crushed 10000 persons. Many of the
churches were at the time filed with
their congregations. and each one be-
came a huge catacomb entombing it's
worshipers. twenty-five successive
shocks were counted. In the city
prison 800 were killed and in the hos
pital 1900. The sea retired from the
harbor, which it left dry, and then re-
turned in a gigantic wave fifty to sixty
feet high, overwhelming many who had
escaped the falling houses. It was es-
tmated that, in Lisbon and It's imme-
date neighborhood nearly 1000 per-
sons had persisted.
