SIKTEEfJ IfJtJIfJG CONTEST ENDS WITH SCORE OF 0-0
Williamsburg Plays Locals to Standstill in Hottest Game Seen in Many Years on Local Grounds.
Minner and Wilcoxen Keep Hits Scattered and Good Support Defeats Chances to Score.
Richmond fans to tbe number of tire hundred were treated to some of the best baseball seen here in a decade hen the local boys stood the strong Williamsburg team off for sixteen innings In a game that resulted in a score of 0 to 0. It Is a pretty hard proposition to get a crowd to sit through nine innings, but when it sits for three hours and a half and shows no disposition to leave, Borne ball is being played, and that is what happened at Athletic park. The game, without doubt, was the best exhibition of the national pastime ever witnessed in this burg, and the fans rooted for one team after the other when they got men on bases, which did not happen often, as both Minner and Wilcoxen were in their best form, and the few hits that were made were well scattered. Wllcoxen's Record. Wilcoxen had a shade on the local by. He whiffed ten men and hit one. Minner fanned nine, hit one, and gave on base on balls. In the pinches both men were steady and seemed to taa" steam to burn. Minner sent the ball over as though it was shot from a cannon, up until the fourteenth, when the pace began to tell on him and he weakened perceptibly. The Williamsburg boy stood the grind, however, and appeared to be as strong at the finish as when the umpire yelled "play ball." What Saved Richmond. There is a law in Indiana that provides that base ball games played on Sunday must be called at 6 o'clock, and this law- probably saved the local team from defeat, for in the first half of the seventeenth Williamsburg got a man over the pan. and as the umpire called time before the local boys had their time at bat, the score reverted to the sixteenth inning. The visitors made the tally on an error by Reddinghaus. who, by the way, has Just recovered from a severe illness, and was a little off in his throwing, which accounts for the ererors charged against him. G. Davis hit a fast one to third that Reddinghaus handled all right, but in his anxiety he heaved it wild. There was no chance for Stephenson to get it, and Davis was safe. - Moore met one on the nose and sent ; it flying to deep center for two bases, j and Davis scored. Jennings was hit ,
by Minner and went to first.. j There were two on and nobody out, and there were shouts from the crowd i
to hurry the game along as it was then 6 o'clock, and the umps were threatning to call time any moment. Stall for Time. It looked bad for Richmond, and they began to stall for time. Minner took his own sweet pleasure about heaving the ball over, and was warned to move more quickly.
McNutt was at bat and hit a foul'
ball that struck Sullivan on the mask and apparently knocked him out, for he fell to the ground and was "out" for about five minutes, but the umpire pulled his watch and ordered the game to be resumed. McNutt hit a fly to Rust, who stabbed It with one had after a long run. Wilcoxen banged one in the air, which Reddinghaus caught, and Duke sent another to the same place, retiring the side. Reddinghaus was the first batter up in the seventeenth for Richmond,
but as he took his place at the plate ; ihe umpire called time, and the score I reverted to the sixteenth inning. j The game was marred somewhat by i the failure of the local management) to have a sufficient number of balls j on hand, and there were several an-j noying delays on this account, but j it did not anticipate such a long con-1 test, and perhaps a dozen balls were! lost in the weeds outside the park. I Pass Up Chance. ' Richmond had a chance to score in the first inning, but Wilcoxen speeded them over and nothing came of it. Kelley hit an easy chance to the
pitcher and was retired. Schattel got a life on Davis' error on a bunt, and Logan was out on strikes. Duke made an error on Jenning's heave of Walling's grounder, and on the next ball pitched the batter stole third. There were two out and a man on second and third, and with Stephenson up it looked like the Quakers would put one over, but the best the sturdy first baseman could do was to hit the air three time and the side was retired. In the second Richmond had another chance. After Reddinghaus and Sitfloh had been sent back to the bench on easy outs, Jennings threw Sullivan's dirt raiser over Duke's head and Sullivan went, to third. Minner closed the session by fanning out. Another Chance in Third. Again in the third there was a
chance for the locals. Kelley went out on first on a chance to Wilcoxen, snd Schattel made a pretty bunt down the third base line. Davis booted Logan's grounder, while Schattel took third. Walling flied to Clements and Stephenson went out, Wilcoxen to Puke, leaving two stranded. The Quakers were soft picking until the tenth, when it looked as though it was all over but the shouting. Sittloh failed to solve Wllcoxen's delivery and struck out for the second time. Sullivan and Minner- lined out a pair of safeties, and Kelley was hit by Wilcoxen, making three on. Tbe fans roused up and gave Schattel a hearty reception, but he popped a foul to O. Davis, and two wera dead. . Great things were expected of Logan ;
at this crisis, but he failed to respond, and went out on a fly, with Sullivan and Minner hugging the bags. In the fourteenth another opportunity was given the home team. Walling cracked one for a sack and took seeon on Stevie's sacrifice bunt, but was thrown out at third on Reddinghaus tap to Wilcoxen. Rust, who had taken Slttloh's place, singled, and a hit at this time meant a run. Sullivan did his best and hit a long sky-chaser to Moore, who fielded it easily. Williamsburg got men on in the first three innings, but could not get them over and they were never dangerous until the sixth. Minner Saves Hide. Duke began this session with a fly to Logan, and B. McNutt was out, Minner to Stephenson. Reddinghaus made an error on O. Davis' hit, and Jennings threw Clements' hit too wide for Stephenson to handle, Davis going to third. Clements stole second, but Minner pulled himself out of a dangerous hole by striking out G. Davis. It looked as though the visitors would score in the tenth but clever work by Minner checked the rally. Moore skied out to Rust and Jennings got a safety. He went to second when R. McNutt sent one whizzing over second. Minner caught him off the bag and he was retired by Logan. Wilcoxen was easy, and the -side went out of his hit to Minner, who three him out at first. There was nothing to it after this until the seventeenth, and the game was called. The score:

TWELFTH ROUND BRINGS DEFEAT TO BOSTONIANS McConaha, Pitching for Rexalls, Tightens in Last Inning and Checks Rally Which Threatens. It took the Rexalls twelve innings to down the Boston boys at that place yesterday and although they were outhit almost two to one, they finally turned the trick and won, 6 to 5. The game was fast all the way, with both teams fighting their hardest. Boston had the lead in the seventh inning but the locals tied it up in their half of the eighth. Both pitchers settled down and it was only a question which could last. In the twelfth Wright weakened and with timely hitting the Rexalls Put
over two runs. J Boston made a strenuous effort to '
tie this up and did get one run, but McConaha tightened up and the game was over. The score:

The ground was spongy and it was hard to field the ball. That accounts for several of the errors.
SUBSTITUTE PUGILISTS
Sid Sanders of Cincinnati, has been substituted to battle with Harry Mc-
Henry at Portland, on September 2,1
in place of Cy Smith, who dislocated his shoulder last week. When- news of Smith's accident reachedTortland the fans were greatly disappointed for they were anxious to see him in action. Cy is very popular in that section and will probably be booked at a later date.
It looked bad for the locals in the tenth, but when Minner caught Jennings off second a sigh of relief went up from the crowd.
