The Iloosiers Hit Welch in a Style to - Gladden the Hearts of Their Friends. From the First Tnninff to the Last Glasscocto Batters Were Tntirin? in Their Efforts to Increase the Large Score. BASE-BAIX. The CiAnti Fall Before the Daih and Vigor of the Hoosier. The members of the New York ball team presented a decidedly comical appearance when they camo upon the grounds at the League Tark, yesterday afternoon, and they looked like they had been through a whirlwind at the close of the game, having been still further disfigured in the contest with the llooaier. Tho baggage of fhe club miscarried in some way, and failed to reach Indianapolis in time for the game. In order to help the visitors but, Manager Glasscock turned over to them all of the Id uniforms of his team, out of which they got a great variety of styles and colors, &nd their appearance npon the field was of 'a character calculated to create much amusement fur the crowd of 1,500 spectators. Some of the players had as many as four or live different colors on, and the combinations were strikingly funny and grotesque. Captain Ewing announced before tho game that their variegated uniforms would bring them luck, and that the Iloosiers would not Lo in the contest 'after the first inning. The captain was very much mistaken, however, as tho local men found but littlo difficulty in running away with the game, the visitors making but a feeble effort to hold their own against the remarkable work of Manager Glasscock's team. "Welch was in the box for New York, rigged up in ono of the most ridiculous outfits on the field, and the manner in 'which the Iloosiers punished the noted srailer was calculated to icako him wish that he, too, had been lost with the club's baggage. Tho little fellow smiled, and continued to smile, but tho homo players hit the ball to all points of the compass just the same, and piled up runs at will. Tho visitors .did fairly well in'the held, considering the heavy batting, but it availed them nothing. They could not get the ball on the lly when it went up against, and sometimes over, the fence, and the out-lielders looked worn out when the game was over. Welch never slackened hia speed for a moment, however, and did the best he could, but it was no use. The Iloosiers were looking for singles, doubles, triples and homo runs, and they found them without much effort, as nineteen hits, for a total of thirty-three bases, will show. Bovlo was in tho box for tho iiomo team, and did great work, although le was not well. Ho allowed the visitors only ten hits, two being scratches, and kept them well scattered. He was given brilliant support, nearlv every man in the team doing remarkable work. Sullivan was the only man in the club who failed to get a hit, but his magnificent playing in the field more than balanced his shortcominKS with the stick. Three of his four chances were of the most difficult charac ter, but he accepted them in a manner that brought the crowd to its feet several times. He mado two wonderful catches of lino liies, taking the . ball right off the fence, and in the second iuninemade another remarkable catch iust back of short field, and completed a double play, with the assistance of Glasscock. The latter also did trrcat work, as did Denny. The Hoosier captain also led at the bat with two singles, a double, a triple una a home run. out of six times at the bat. Seery, Boyle. Buckley and McGeachy were not xnucn oemnu xueir leaner, ceery matting a sinclo and two doubles: Boyle the same: McGeachy two Binaries and a- twobagger, while Buckley secured a double and h Lome- run. 1 hirteen of the fourteen runs made bv the Hoosiers were earned, and a Dase on balls was all that kept that one out of that column. The local players went to work on Mr. Welch's delivery in the first inning and kept it up from that time on to the end of f he game. Alter beery had fouled out to Ewing, Glasscock made a two-bagger to center. Denny fouled out to Tiernan. A singlo by Hines scored Glasscock, after WUICU OUIMVUU Ub 1113 UUSO UU UUUS. 1 IXOIX Hockley drove a liner over left held fence. McGeachy followed with a two-base hit, but Bassett was retired at first. A double by Seery and Glasscock's single gave the. Iloosiers one more in the second. In the third Sullivan new out to Richardson, but Buckley hit the ball to the fence and made two bases on it. McGeachy then hit for a tingle, Buckley scoring. McGeachy went to second on the throw-in and came home when Boylo hit for a base. Bassett had been retired and Seery Hew out to Tiernan. Glasscock led oil with a triple in the fourth, and crossed the plate on Denny's clean single past V ard. Alter isassett had gone out on a ny in Clnro nnd ltnrlA bnl lionn nittroil nn Ktiikes in the fifth, Seery hit for a base, and Glasscock 6ent him homo with a drive over right-field fence. Welch did better during the next three innings. lioyle alone making a double, in too ninth, however, the Iloos iers went at Welch again, and earned four runs on a single by Mcueachy, two-base hits by bassett, Boyle ana beery and Glass cock's drive past second, all of which oc curred before anybody had been put out. Glasscock got as far as third. but was left, Denny striking out and Hines and Sullivan going out on mes 10 y urn ami vonuor. xew ior& made her first runs in the third on singles by O'Kourke and Welch, and a triple by 1 iernan. In the fourth one more was add ed, but it was a gift from the umpire. O'Kourke made a single and stole second. "Whitney and Wekh both flew out to Sul livan. Two strikes had been called on Gore when Boyle gave him a sharp drop. The batter made a vicious lunge at the ball. "but missed it, McQnaid was evidently not looking at the batter, as he refused to call him out. and ho was sent to first on balls. Tiernan followed with a two-base hit and O'Kourke scored. At this point Ewing . retired and Brown took his place. He was retired by Glasscock and Hines. The visitors mado their last run in the sixth, when Connor, KichanUon and O'Kourke made singles. No more hits were mado until the ninth. when Whitney secured one of the scratch oruer. fccore:

A Chicago special to the Herald says that a storm of indignation is sweeping through the Boston ball team over a dispatch received by Manager Hart, yes terday, from Boston, and in which uncalled for language is used. On learning its con tents the players became indignant, and Manager Hart felt tho insult so keenly that he was tempted to tender his resignation. It is said the dispatch has done more to de moralize tho team than the loss of every game on the trip. A special to the Globe says that the dis patch was from one of the directors and reads as follows: What is the matter with the team! You are disraciD the Boston public, and Alusio Hall Is nlled with hisses daily, l ou had better nut Mad den. Johnston and Smith In cotton. What Is the matter with Kadbournel Ain't he going to pitch any morel This kind of work is loninsr the club thousands of dollars. Do you waut to force one or us to go est! Manager Hart wrote a six-page letter to President boden, and inclosed the telegram. Ho wrote: "I am a business man and want to be treated as such." He said afterward: "I never heard of such a thinir as this in my life. A club lead in t: in the race getting a send-otl' like this from one of tho owners of tho club. hy, it s only worthy a crazy man." In the Lea cue to Stay. Boston Globe, Aug. 6. I had a long talk with President Brush, of the "Hoosier" tfcatn, to-day. The first question I put to him was, "Will the 'Indians' remain in tho Leaguo next season!" "Yes, indeed?; and will be more troublesome than ever to the Boston team. Xo doubt Boston would, like to have us get out, but they will have to wait some time yet. Wo are not making auy money, nor aie wo losing any. I have noticed the Boston press say tho reason our nine is not higher up in the race is because our men are not satisfied with their salaries. Now. let us see. Hines gets moro money from us than he ever got from any club before, and but for the classification would bo getting less money. Con Daily was asked his terms. They were accepted. Martin Sullivan named his figures, and we gave him what ho asked. Henry Boyle is getting S-r0O more from us than he ever got before in his life. Jack Glasscock is getting a fat ealary and is perfectly satisfied. In fact, Jerry Denny is the only man in our team who has any cause for complaint, and he is working with a better spirit this season than ever. Our boys to a man are satisfied, and it's only tho cities that would like to have some of our men that kick, telling how we are going to quit. "I will tell you what is sure to come." continued Mr". Brush, "and that is a pooling of all the receipts of tho League clubs. This is the only way to keep the League- up, as it should be. For instance, the 1 ml inn auolis team has furnished tho natrous of

the game in Boston with an article of hall that they are willing to pay to see. It's a

poor uusiness concern wnere one purnici isn't entitled to just as much of the profits as th other, lhe home team shoubl uo entitled to all they can make on the extras, such as receipts from the grand stand, score cards, and other privileges. Xow take tho Boston club alone. It is likely they take in, say over $10,000 each season for seats in the pavilion, lots would be quito a largo amount that the Leaguo would not have to divide. If the whole business was put into the hands of one concern, you would not hear bo much about umpires and dissatis fied players, and the game would be muen benehtcd thereby. Jbitber pooling tno whole receipts or an equal divisiou of receipts will have to come, and that, too. very soon." "How ranch could Boston buv Glassclock's release for!" "They ottered me $7,500, and said the reason they.inadc it so liigU was that they were anxious to win the pennant; but I knew they were not so anxious as they pretended, for it would take more than double that money to buy Glasscock's release. Why, if we let him go wo migh i as well shut up the gates." "How about selling Denny to UostonT" "Jerry is a great plaver." said the presi dent, "and mouev will buv most anything "when you get enough of it. But the play ers of our club aro pretty well contented now, and I don't think we can allord to sell." Brush will take the next Eastern trip -with tho team, and says that if Glasscock had been in command at the opening of tho season the Hoosiers would now be lighting for first place, and, indeed, it locks a little that way. v ..... . What the Clnb Deserves. The Indianapolis club certainly deserves the most substantial encouragement for the kind of work it has been doing lately, and every game played should be witnessed by a crowd of sufficient size to make glad tho heart of the management. A record of nine games won, out of eleven played, six of them away from home, i9 one not often made by any club in anv organiza tion, and when the fact is taken into consideration that this remarkable record has been made acainst such clubs as Cleveland, Pittsburg, Boston and .New l ork, it warrants tho statement that the Hoosiers are to-dav playing tlie best ball In the League. There is one feature of the games put up by the Hoosiers mat is wortny oi remark, and tnat is tne willingness ot the players to go after everything m sight. A month ago many a ball which is now brilliantly captured would have been allowed to pass for a base hit, because the players were afraid to chanco the "jacketing'' that would have followed an error. row .no chance is apparently so desperate that the boys will not make the liveliest kind of an effort for it. Captain Glasscock's injunction to "go for everything and hang the errors," has been received in the spirit in which it was given, and it has got to bo a pretty sharply hit ball that escapes the clutches of a Hoosier player now. As Glasscock said last night, in conversation with a friend, "the boys have got gall enough to thinK they can't be beaten, and 1 think myself they are about right." The club deserves the encouragement of its friends, and good crowds should witness every game. Indianapolis seems now to have what the base-ball public has so long clamored for, viz., a winning club, and tho lovers of the greatest of games should show meir uppreciuuon ot n uy xueir aiieuuance. Oafte-Hall2tot.es. It was a great day for Captain Glasscock. The Cleveland team is still on the down grade. , The New Yorks will have their uniforms to-day. ' Nine games out of eleven is not a bad record. . ' Anderson will probably bo given a trial next week. The Hoosiers still have two chances to take another one from New York. Sullivan's playing in . center field was phenominal. He made .three remarkahie catches. ... Boyle was not feeling well, but he pitched a great game just the same, and used thai BI1UA. till UllV CUCCli- , ' .- ' The parti-colored suits broueht bad luck I'ernaps Manager uiasscock ean get the uianis to wear mem again to-day. Glasscock's stop of Whitney's grounder in the ninth was a marvelous play. He threw the ball to Hines, who dropped it, but it was a desperate chance, and no ono could be charged with an error. turf events. Harry Wilkes Laid on the Shelf at Buffalo by llelle Hamlin.

The great New York gelding sold $50 to $30 before this heat in the auction pools. Belle Hamlin was the favorite for the heat in the Paris nmtuals. The general impression was that Belle would win a heat any way. Nobody thought Wilkes would have a walkaway, but the knowing ones expected hiin to win the race in two of the three heats to bo trotted. Sir Bros, backed the gelding heavily, but. so far as known, Mr. Hamlin hot but little. The re sult was a surprise to many.

A XATUKATrGAS DEAL TOSSIBLE,

But Trust and Ripple Officers Deny a Present Consolidation of Their Companies. There was a rmor about tho hotels last night that a good-sized natural-gas deal was soon to bo consummated between the directors of the Consumers' Trust and the new Broad Ripplo company. But it was said by those in authority in the Trust that the proposition leading to such a deal must first come from tho Ripple's director. The present condition of the Trust, it is claimed, is such as to make it necessary for its managers, or manager, as tho casu may be, to take active and immediate steps to satisfy the concern of its last year's patrons. Tho Oil-well and Supply Company and the National tube-works, of Pittsburg, which. it is said, have Trust certificates amounting to several hundred thousand dollars, are the chief owners of the Ripple. The rumor was to tho effect that these holders had transferred their interest in the Ripple to tho Trust for additional certificates. Mr. Frenzcl, of the Trust, however, denied any knowledge of tho purchase. T would certainly be informed on the subject," he said, "if there was any probability of a purchase being made. I cannot say what will happen, but just at present there is nothing of the kind contemplated." "Would tho Trust consolidate with the Ripple company under anj condition!" "That is a question I cannot answer just now. If any such deal were to be made the proposition would have to come from them and not from us." "What preparations are you making to meet your demands next winter?" "Well," to be frank, "we do not care to make any public statement just now. I will say, however, that our consumers need have no fear whatever for their comfort. All of us in charge of the Trust are business men, and certainly we would hardly venture to deceive tho people in a fair, business contract. We waut to do iust what is risht and proper with everybody." Mr. Boyce, of Pittsburg, who is tieasurer and secretary of the Ripple company, was seen at the Bates last night by a Journal reporter. At a recent meeting of the company's directors, Wellington Smith resigned from be board and Edward Hawkins was elected as his 'successor. Mr. Smith, however, has as yet made no disposition of his stock, Mr. Hawkins purchasing about onethird of J. B. McElwaine?s shares. Regard ing the consolidation with the Trust, Mr. Boyce said: "Iknow nothingof it whatever. If any such scheme is on foot I have not yet been informed of the intentions of the Trust's managers. 1 do not put any confidence in the report, however." "If such a consolidation should be made what would come of the Westcott mortgage!" "That is a question which I cannot answer. If, for the sake of the argument, we concede that the Trust were to buy us out, there is a question whether or not they would be held responsible for the 125,000. I presume, though, on the face of the mortgage, that they would." A BEAUTIFUL PARK PROJECT. The Street-Car Company Has in View the Making of an Attractive Pleasure Ground. The street-car company appears to be aliye to the fact that Indianapolis is a growing city, with a large and prosperous f utnro before her, some of which will bo here in a veTy short time. This company has been looking about, in a quiet way, for the purpose of making an investment, and the matter took shape yesterday, in the purchase of a large tract of land four miles from the Circle on the Michigan road. This tract is the handsomest strip of woodland in Marion county, being directly north of Armstrong's woods, where Camp Hovey was held, and northwest of Crown Hill Cemetery, with the canal running through it from northeast to southwest. The property consists of 250 acres, 100 of which has been known as the Scott farm, the remaining sixty acres being bought of Martin H. Rice. The company proposes to aid nature, which has already done mnch for this ground, and make this the most beautiful pleasure ground in Indiana. With tho wTater facilities at hand, the long-talked-about lake is no longer a remote possibility, and it is not unlikely that a race-track may be put upon the grounds. Nothing will be spared to make it a park in every sense of tho word equal to that in or near any of the great cities of the West. Quick transportation will be furnished to enable people to get there from tho city. What form this transportation will take is yet a matter for speculation, but it will most likely bo an exhaust Jteam-motor or electricity. "Give these Chicago people who own the street-car system hero and who have bought this ground a chance," remarked a gentleman interested in the deal. "They will spend a great deal of money on this park project. Of course, if the opposition is sufficient to block the enterprise the ground will not be wasted. It will do to pasture their mules." Manager Shaffer is at Deer Park, Md., but will soon return and take steps to utilize the new purchase. ORDERS FOR BECKTOLD. This City's School-Book Requisition Seems Large with Those from Other Places. The trustees in Vermillion county have decided to keep the Becktold school-books in store, so as to comply with the law. "But tho law," said a gentleman from that county, yesterday, "does not say we shall compel the people to buy them. Wo will send in a requisition, and let the Indiana company of jobbers ship them to our trustees at the company's expense, but no effort will be made to put the books in tho schools. In any event, they will not be used in the Newport schools. Tho company can go to the courts to establish its rights, if it has any." But among the requisitions that camo to the Superintendent of Public Instruction yesterday there were none from Vermillion. While the orders for the books were many the number called for in each instance, except for New Harmony and Indianapolis, way small. The requisition from this city was as follows: First readers, 1,200; seconft 1,500; third, 1.500; fourth. 1,200; fifth, fXX); elementary urithmetic, 1,500; complete arithmetic, GOO; elementary .geography, 1,500; complete geographyt tiOO. New Harmony wants 100 each of the first, second asid third readers, and elementary arithmetics. 50 fourth and 25. fifth, readers. Of the other books, it will take 150 of each kind. The other orders came from townships in White. Hendricks, Shelby, DcKalb, Madison and Huntington counties. The Becktold Hooks in Montgomery County. 6rM-iaI to th InlianaiKlis Journal CiJAWFOiiD.sviLLE, Aug. 8. The iinal outcome of the meeting of tho County Board of Education was very unsatisfactory. Tho county superintendent was very positive that the books must be used in the schools, and had several long-continued arguments with those who differed with him. There are three trustees out of the eleven in tho county who will put the books in tho schools of their respective townships at once. S. F. Henry, of Union township. will not make any effort to introduce tho books, but will keep them on hand for silo to parents who may call for them. The other trustees are undecided just what to do. except that they will keep the books on hand. W. J. Cord will go to Indianapolis to-morrow to get the blanks to use in ordering the books. The city school trustees will decide what courso to pursue on next Friday evening. Politically, it seems that tho Democratic county superintendent and trustees are determined to have the books used, while the Republican trustees desire to approach tho change with care. 31 r. Fold 'ot Willing. Attorneys appeared before the County Commissioners yesterday morning and proposed a plan whereby John Williams would bo recoguied as meat inspector for Marion county, with John K. Fohl as his deputy.

and Mr. Fohl as city mpector, with Williams as deputy. Mr. Williams was ready to qualify, out Mr. Fohl was not, and the matter still remains unsettled.

D., editor of tha Western Christian Advocate, and formerly pastor of Roberts Park Church, is dangerously ill at Bay View, Mich., and his coudi. tion within a short time became dangerous. Dr. Bayless, accompanied by his wife, has been in attendance at the Methodist Assembly at that place, and it is understood that his illness is tho result of a carbuncle, which has developed from an apparently insignificant eruption. An operation va determined on, and it is thought this may give relief, and improve his condition. Returned to Claim the Kstate. Hannibal, Mo.. Aug. 8. Albert L. Mailory disappeared several years ago and shortly afterward a bodv supposed to bo his was discovered in Sti Louis. Tho publie administrator at St. Louis took chsrge of the Mallory estate but could rind no heirs. Finally, altera long search he discovered Mallorv's sister-in-law. Mrs. E. R. Mallory, of Hannibal.
