One of the features of the struggle
was the short time in which it was
played. Starting promptly at 1870
o'clock it ended at 7:17-two hours
and forty-seven minutes. or an aver

notable angle was that johnson is
sued only ono base on balls in the
eighteen innings. and that of the nine

was recorded in succession, which
just about constitutes record for

a single game. Another popularity
of the affair noted by the 1,700-odd
fans present was that thirteen of the
