CHIPPEWA INDIANS ARRIVE FOR GAME

Game in a Day Early Owing to Cancellation of Came at Lafayette— A Fine Team.

Arntz’s Chippewa Indians arrived in Rensselaer this Wednesday morning, a day ahead of schedule time, owing® to the cancellation of the game which was to have been played with the Lafayette Red Sox. This gave the team an idle day, which was really welcomed, as they have been going a lively pace lately. They have been winning practically all of their games, too, -defeating Delphi, Frankfort, Flora, Kirklin and others and losing to Lebanon only by the close score Of 6 to 5. At Kirklin Tuesday they won their game 6 to 3. . Chief Leßoy, who pitched at Lebanon, is to work for the Indians against the Athletics tomorrow. Newake, who is to catch, weighs 215 pounds and was rated one of the best catchers in the Southern Michigan league. He has made a home run hit in each of the last four games and his batting average is said to be .750 against the teams he has been playing. Negake, who plays second base is another leaguer, being one of the pitchers of the team. He held • the pitching

record of the Michigan state league, having one eleven straight games. Chief LeßOy is a Southern Michigan league player. These men are all working on salaries and their contracts call for more money than they get in the leagues. The team members constitute a band and will give a short concert on the street tonight and again tomorrow morning in order to advertise the game. They will also play with the boys’ band at the regular Thursday night concert unless they find that they can make "better for their game at Valparaiso Friday to leave here at 7:06 Thursday night. The Indians are camped out in tents in the Kurrie grove and are taking their meals at Fate’s restaurant. They had difficulty in finding rooming accommodations and the camping out plan appealed to them. They are a very clever lot of chaps and most of them are college educated.
