CHOP SEWS ELI CIDATEI). InforniH tion About the Insects, Etc., That Are Ravagiiig Wheat Fleldn, New York Tribune. Winter wheat is how maturing- and spring wht at is .iust developing. Both are hedged about by great dangers, as told in daily dispatches from the West, particularly from the Chicago Board of Trade. Alphabetically arranged these dangers are: Army worms, cinch bugs, cut worms, grasshoppers hot winds, Rocky Mountain locusts, rust, weevils, wire worms. The army worms are so called because of their thoroughly disciplined movements, which aro not unlike those of an army in a campaign. The forces in moving upon wheat fields are formed into companies, regiments and battalions, with officers from the general commanding down to sergeants. V ith the aid of a microscope the insignia of the various grades of official rank may he descried on the bugs, from stars and epaulets to chevrons. The farmers say the army worms have bands in their organizations—that is, there is with each battalion a squad of bugs that emit musical sounds. The farmers aver that on starting for a wheat field the band plays “In This Wheat By and By.” On arriving at the field the order to deploy is given, and then follows the order, by bugle notes distinctly to be heard, to charge. When the army worms have completed their work in the field they are reform and and march away with tiie band playing “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” There is supposed to he an orthographical error in the name of the chinch bugs. The belief is that the “h" should he omitted, so as to make the word “cinch.” “Cinch” is a colloquaiism chicily used In sporting circles. It signifies a certainty. For instance. it may be said that a wager laid on a certain horse at a racetrack is a cinch, meaning that the wager will surely be won. Sometimes the expression is amplified into “lead-pipe cinch,” which means that by no possibility whatever can the wager fail to be won. There can be no question that the chinch bugs have a cinch when they alight in a wheat field. They ravage it in thorough style. The cut worms are indeed remarkable worms. They burrow into the stalk upon which 'lie wheat grows and cut off the stalk with as much facility as if a crosscut saw were used. The power of the mandibles of these bugs is astonishing. One instance, well authenticated, will illustrate. A farmer left a crowbar plunged into a wheat field near the City Hall in Chicago. When he went to get it he found it lying on the ground On picking it up, great was his surprise to perceive that a foot of it was lacking. He investigated and discovered the missing piece of crowbar in the soil. It had been cut off by a cut worm. It is a common sight in the West to see whole fields of wheat prostrate. Cut worms have cut the stalks, and the wind has done the rest. The grasshoppers are exceedingly voracious. One will gulp down a head of wheat and digest it at its leisure, like an ostrich. The striking peculiarity of the grasshopper is its legs, which are extremely long and mighty powerful. Except in the matter of tail, the grasshopper is a good deal like tiie kangaroo. A Kansas grasshopper is as hard a kicker as a Kentucky mule. A Harlem goat, than which there is no better"" butter. was taken to a Kansas farm. He had a great lime butting hoboes, Indians, catamounts and other varmints indigenous to the State until he encountered a Kansas grasshopper. He saw one basking in 'he sun and lowered his head to smell of it. while his whiskers mingled with the prairie jiowers. The next Instant he was executing a double hack somersault. The grasshopper had thrown out a leg and caught him on the jaw. When that goat recovered consciousness he was of no earthly use. His courage hud been entirely knocked out of hint. From -that time he had not the pluck to butt a fiy. The Rocky mountain locusts eat growing wheat with avidity and make more noise than a boile- shop If there js a railroad running alongside of a wheat fie.ld in which they are feeding, a freight train drawn by two mogul engines, with whittles blowing for crossings, will pass by seemingly ns quietly as a shadow’. All there is ot it the locusts create a greater din than the freight train. When the locusts are around the farmers have to wear corks in their ears to save their eardrums, and they sleep ir. their cyclone cellars with the trapdoors closed down, otherwise they would not sleep at all. The weevil, as Its name indicates, is a diminutive villain of the insect order, a here

As it is they serve aii evil purpo^^olely. r i\ si a PP ra rs on the wheat is inexpncable. It has been suggested that the clouds draw moisture from iron springs in tne Western mountains, and then precipitate nist on the wheat fields. As soon as anything is discovered which will keep the bottoms of iron and stell ships from rusting it will find a ready sale in the vast wheatnßsing sections of the West. The hot winds burn up the wheat. The hot winds are undeniably all-fired hot. One farmer in Nebraska hauled a barrel of water to a field in which he was working for the purpose of providing his horses with drink during the day. A hot wind came along and melted the Iron hoops on the barrel. Os course the barrel fell apart and the water was The farmer tied the barrel together again with ropes. Barrels are scarce out in that country. MAY LOSE’MILWAUKEE BREWERS ARB PREPARING TO DESERT THE WESTERN LEAGUE. May Take Cleveland's Place In tlie Tvrelve-Cluli Organization Next Tear—Exchange of Players. MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 25.—Present indications point to Milwaukee as the successor to Cleveland ln the National League in 1898, ns President Frank De Hass Robison and Secretary M. S. Robison came here to-day for the express purpose of buying out tho Milwaukee magnates and transferring the Clevelands to this city in 1898. All day long and also at midnight President Killilea and Manager Mack conferred with the Cleveland people, but so far no deal has been effected. It is likely, however, that somo arrangements will be reached whereby the five owners of the Brewers will secure an Interest in the Clevelands in the event of the deal being made and it is probable that to-morrow some* agreement may be reached as the Robisons will remain over for another day. Asa result of the visit of the Cleveland magnates “Broncho” Jones will join the Indians at the end of the present season and receive a salary of $2,200 for his work next year. Cleveland also gives Blake to Milwaukee as a part of the deal and Catcher Cregier will be released to Milwaukee next spring and become a Brewer. In addition to these players the Milwaukee Club received $2,000 as a bonus for the release of Jones, who is conceded to be the best lefthanded pitcher in the Western League.

OIL CITY, Pa., June 25.—The final event of the seventh annual tournament of the State Sportmen's Association, the Oil City special handicap, for a purse of SI,OOO, was fully equal to all of the anticipations of the men who look part and of th’e hundreds of spectators who were present. The weather was more pleasant, being cooler, and the birds were fully IUO per cent, better than on the preceding day. This was shown in shooting the first round, when many of the experts scored misses. The culls among the pigeons had all bt’en shot off on Thursday, and the birds were the pick or' the flock. The main event began promptly at 9 o'clock and was ended at 4:15 p. m., with a half hour for luncheon, and. considering that there were twenty-five birds to the man and forty-five entries, the time is considered by the visiting marksmen as remarkably fast. Two sets of traps W'ere used. Glover, Grim n, MeMurchy and Penning each killed twenty-five birds straight, and instead of shooting off the tie divided the purse, amounting to $1,032.50. Dubray, Captain Money, Wheeler, Gut/ert and Murphy each scored twenty-four birds, Wheeler’s twenty-fifth bird dropping dead out of bounds. Central Sebutzeiiband Tourney.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, June 25.—A big crowd was .out to see the battle of the leaders this afternoon, which was only won by the Senators after x:ine hard-fought innings, replete with brilliant fielding, in which “Dibby” Flynn and Genins were the star performers, both of these men offsetting their errors by wonderful stops which cut off base hits. The previous games in this city with other Western League teams have been tame in comparison with tho one this afternoon, and every man of each team stubbornly contested every inch of the way. While the game was rather lengthy, the delays were occasioned by slight injuries, Hulen turning his ankle early in the game and Crooks and Fisher being hit by pitched balls, but it lost none of its interest at any stage, and the game was not won until the last man had been retired in the ninth inning. In the first innihg Columbus scored through hits by Hulen, Butler and Genins, the wild throw Kahoe made in this inning having no effect on the score. The Hooslers tied the score in the second, Motz hitting safely, stealing second and scoring on Crooks’s wild throw to catch Motz at third, when Flynn made a scratch single. A three-bagger by Genins and Tebeau's double gave the. Senators a lead of one in the third, and In the fifth Mertes made tire circuit through a base hit, a stolen base and Kahoe's overthrow' to third. Hogriever crossed the rubber in the last half of this inning when he reached first base on balls after two men had been retired, went to • third on Gray’s clean single, and scored when Fisher let a pitched ball through his fingers. That ended the run getting till the ninth. Hulen and Butler flew out and Mertes found the leather for three bases. Frank and Genins walked, and Foreman had an argument with the umpire which resulted in his being put out of the game. Phillips was substituted and forced in a run by pitching four wide ones to Tebeau. two more being scored when Crooks hit safely. Stewart’s scratch single was followed by a force-out at second by Flynn, who scored with Deady, after the latter had singled, on Kahoe’s three-bagger. Phillips and Hogriever could not get the ball out’of the diamond and w’ere thrown out at first. Attendance, 1,500. Score: Columbus. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Boston is still clipping the wings of the Orioles. Blake has not come up to expectations at Milwaukee. St. Paul got a valuable player in “Parson” Nicholson. Pitcher Fred Barnes, of Milwaukee, is ill with malarial fever. Baltimore has at last fallen below .700 in the percentage column. Left Fielder Deady had eight chances and took care of all but one. Hunt, who is playing with Grand Rapids, is an ex-Nashville catcher. Indianapolis dropped thirteen points yesterday—an unlucky number. . Glenalvin would like to have either Cockman or Reilly, as he has no shortstop. Goekle, of Wilkesbarre, is considered the star first baseman of the Eastern League. President Johnson will probably be here for the two Indianapolis-Columbus games, July 5. Providence is feeling the loss of Canavan very greatly. Weigand is far from filling his place at second. Comiskey lost $250 on a recent bicycle race enterprise in St. Paul, and says he will back no more wheelmen. By defeating the Saints yesterday the Blues pulled themselves out of the hole in time to let the Millers drop into it. The Topaz club defeated the Insane Hospital club yesterday by a score of 11 to 5. Batteries—lvory anjl . Dalton; Worley and Austin. There is some consolation in the fact that the Saints fell with the Hoosiers. It is annoying to have rivals treading too close on your heels. Senators Wrigley and Farrell found Rusie to be an easy mark. Each got three hits, the former's netting four bases and the latter’s seven. Washington hit Rusie safely thirteen times yesterday, and the "big fellow” gave five bases on balls; yet the Giants won by a wide margin. 1 Yesterday Hoffer gave nine bases on balls and hit one man. Klobedanz passed seven men to first and hit two. Pretty wild pitching for leaders. McFarland took it easy yesterday. Although he was four times at bat. he' made neither hit. nor run and not a ball came his way in the field. Stenzel got four of Boston’s eleven hits yesterday—two doubles and two singles. He also scored two tains, stole two buses and had five putouts to his credit. The story that Vanderbeck had been offered $20,000 for the Detroit team and franchise is gauzy. The franchise is worth $5,v00 and the team as much more, so that SIO,OOO would be a good offer. This afternoon the machine at the Grand will play the Indianapolis-Columbus game, the last of the series to be seen at the theater. Saturday is the favorite day of the fans. The game will begin at 3 o’clock. Rochester and Springfield, of the Eastern League, both want Rogers. His home is in Bridgeport, Conn., and he would naturally prefer to play at Springfield. If it is possible for Indianapolis to secure him, he will be signed. An Associated Press dispatch, from Columbus says: "Foreman got smart in the ninth inning, and Umpire Manassau put him out of the game.’ The probabilities are that Foreman objected to being compelled to split the plate every time he pitched a ball.
A striking evidence of Hanlon’s policy In the matter of pitchers is found ln the fact that among the pitchers of the Baltimore team of to-day not one remains of the champion team of three years ago. The Baltimore pitchers for that season were McMahon, Gleason, Hemming, Esper, Inks, Brown and Clarkson. There are rumors of further dickers in the Philadelphia club, and it is whispered that shift in management is likely to occur. Two of the senior Quakers, Delehanty and Boyle, are not partial to Stallings’s minor league methods, and there are other players on the team who don’t indorse bench management on theoretical lines. Ford Dix, manager of the Tono Chico Baseball Club, an aggregation of young Mexicans, who, desiring to travel and see something of the I’nited Stapes, organized themselves into a bail club to pav their expenses on the trip, is in town looking for a game or series of games with some crack amateur team. Mr. Dix says the Mexicans play fast ball, too, having won forty-eight out of the seventy games played thus far. MATINEE RACES. II ii si ness Men** Driving; Club Inaugurate* It* Summer Sport. The matinee races given yesterday afternoon by the Business Men’s Driving Club at the club’s half-mile track were well attended and afforded much fun Vor the crowd. There were three events In which trotters and pacers alike were entered. Glory was the principal stake and prize, though there were three small prizes for first, second and third places in each of the events. The first race was a three-minute class race and proved easy picking for W. W. Baker’s Jim Brow’n, who won in two straight heats against a field of six starters. Emperor William. E. C. Deardorf’s horse, took second without effort. The second race was for those in the 2:30 class. It was won in four heats by Charles Haynes’s Ida TANARUS., winning the first and the fourth heats. The mare was given a hard run for first place, however, by W. W. Baker's Jim 8., who finished first in the second heat arid second twice. This was the most exciting race of the three. Sterling R. Holt’s Emma Wilkes took the free-for-all in straight hints, with Pat Murphy and Robert C. tied for second place. The races were for tho best two heats of a half mile each.

Not Courteous, lut to the Point. Chicago Times-Herald. Last winter when the Indian football team from Carlisle, Pa., came to Chicago to wipe up the gridiron with their paleface brethren from Wisconsin University, the copper colored visitors received a great deal of attention at the hands of the young women students of Dr. Harper's school. A group of the girls surrounded one of the swarthy athletes and, having taken him prisoner, began to cross-question him. “Tell me, remarked one gushing, radiant creature, "why do you red people paint your faces when you go on the warpath?” “For the same reason, I presume, that you white ladies powder your faces when you go on the warpath In society,’’ quietly replied the Indian. Objections Removed. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. “If we an lex Hawaii.” remarked the Casual Caller, "we acquire several islands, a debt of $4.(Mj,000, two volcanoes, and thousands of natives thrown in.” “Well,”*replied the Snake Editor, “if the natives are to be thrown into the volcanoes I'll withdraw my objection to the annexation scheme.” ~ <♦■■■ - A Tongue-Tied Linguist.

OUT-OF-DATE BICYCLES TO-MORROWS RI M OX "ORDIN ARIES" WILL BE AN EVENT. * Veteran Riders Given the Post of Hon-or-Wheel Oiilm Flourishing in Indiunapolts. The ‘‘grand old ordinary” run to-morrow promises to be a cycling event of the season as it was a year ago. The high Vheel will be ridden exclusively on this occasion and the prospects now are that there will be seventy-five or more of the veterans in line. They will bring out their old mounts from cellar and garret and once again will assume tho original bicycle hump and take on that beautiful expression known as the bicycle face. Only the old war horses of wheeldom can thoroughly enjoy an occasion of this kind. It is a time for all manner of pranks and jokes and an occasion of good-fellowship when old times will be recalled and old experiences compared. It will also be an occasion when many experts will forget the tricks of the past and will discover the law of gravitation In a forcible manner. It Is even money now that at least ten of the veterans will topple into the canal. The riders will meet at 9:30 o’clock at the corner of Pennsylvania and Ohio streets. The Ridiculous Club, made up entirely of veterans who in times past won many hard fought battles on road and track, has Been assigned the post of honor an 6 Will lead the run over the following route: South on Pennsylvania street to Washington, west to the Statehouse, north on Senate avenue to Ohio*street, east to Meridian street, north to old Seventh street, west to the canal and north on the cycle path to Broad Ripple. At the Statehouse the riders will dismount and several photographers will be these to get snaps of the crowd. It is expected that the party will reach Broad Ripple about noon and will find waiting them a picnic dinner prepared by Mrs. Brenneman and served in the woods. The return will be in tho late afternoon. The G. O. O. run is attracting a great deal of attention and the veteran who has disposed of his wheel or is unable to get one for the occasion feels himself unfortunate indeed. Two or three riders have procured wheels made thirty-two years ago. They are of the pattern which has both wheels of nearly the same size, the larger being in front and the rear wheel being made slightly lower to admit of a saddle being placed above It without raising the saddle too high. The pedals are attached to the front wheel. All styles of the later makes of ordinaries will be seen. There will be the plain ordinary with direct power, the ordinary with sprocket attachment and the lever attachment. There will be a few of the Star pattern, having the small wheel in front. These were much in use twelve years ago and a few of them are still to be found by diligent search in the city. (LI BS ARE FLOI R 1 SUING.
More Life in Them This Year than Ever Before. Bicycle clubs In Indianapolis haw come into prominence this year as never before. For several years it has been almost impossible to maintain a respectable organization among bicycle ridVrs. The Zigzag Club had a wavering existence for a season or two during the first season or two of the safety. Then it had another uncertain period of existence as the Indianapolis Cycling Club, and finally adopted the original name. Last season it held together, but was not very strong. The club idea had no hold in the city. Riders preferred to go in parti'es if there was any place to go, but there was comparatively little indulgence in road runs. The bicycle w’as a utility, but the pleasure riding was done as Individuals or parties of individuals. This season there is a notable difference. The Zigzag Club has grown to a strong organization, and its influence has increased the interest in wheeling matters. There has also b'een an added interest among the members of the White Club and an increase in its membership, and its club runs are alw’ays well attended. New clubs have been organized. Th'e Indianapolis Club started out with a membership of about fifty, and has already nearly doubled its membership. Its members are among the most prominent young men of th’e city. The’club has arranged to establish a country camp within a short riding distance of the city. A cook will be employed and members may spend as much of their time in camp as they pleatfe. Some members will arrange to ride out to the camp every evening and spend the night. The club’s Sunday runs are features wrieh are looked forward to from we’ek to week. The Outing Club started strong and is growing every week. II has tin- handsomest clubhouse of all the bicycle clubs. It is arranged as a gymnasium and place for athletic snorts and training. The Ridiculous Club, composed of solid business men, is no small factor in bicycle club life. It maintains a down-town clubhouse and besides has a houseboat on the river at Broad Ripple, where its members and their friends have merry times. The Waverly, the Crescent and the Rambl’er clubs also have their following of members. The latest organization of a bicycle club Is known as the Short Run club. It is composed of young men who are most all members of St. Mary s Church. They have a handsome clubroom on the third floor of the building at the corner of Delaware and Pearl streets. The membership is small, but it is a healthy organization and has started right and will doubtless grow. The officers are: Edward Deil, president; Joseph Stein, s cretarv; Joseph Michaelis, captain, and Frank Geis, lieutenant. Struck l*y un Enlne. Frank Doldt, living at 169 Laurel We*t, was struck by a Big Four switch engin’e yesterday while riding a wheel between th'e tracks near State avenue, and was badly hurt. He w’as on his way home from Madden’s lounge factory, where he employed. His bicycle seemed to get beyond his control as the engine approachvd and he was struck and knocked to the ground. The dispensary ambulance removed him to the dispensary, where Dr. Rhodes dressed his injuries. There was a bad cut on his head and his hips were badly bruised. No bones were broken. He was taken home in the ambulance. Michigan Circuit Kacc*. MOUNT PLEASANT. Mich., June 25. Results of the second day of the Michigan circuit bicycle races: One mile* open, professional: A. A.
