BROKE EVES YESTERDAY. Saints Were Given the First Game and Hoosiers Won the Second. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ST. PAUL. Minn., Sept. 8. The Saints finished the season on the home grounds to-day by breaking even on two games with Indianapolis. Both were good exhibitions of baseball, and a casual spectator would not have known that the two teams were the same ones that played yesterday. The locals won the first game, in spite of the fact that Fisher was in the box. In fact, it may be said that Fisher gave the game away. In the eighth inning, with the score three to one in favor of the ' visitors,' Fisher gave Burns a base on balls purposely rather than take chances of his hitting . the ball. Burns's free base filled the bags. Krauss .was the next man up, and. he drove the first ball pitched over the fence for a home run, scoring four and winning the game. Fisher pitched good ball. He kept the few hits which he allowed well scattered, except in the eighth Inning. Several times good hits would have scored runs, but he refused to allow the ball to go outside of the diamond. 'The visitors played an errorless game in the field, and Hogan and McCarthy did some almost sensational work. Larry Twitchell did the umpiring and was very bad. He made at least a dozen decisions on the bases that any one could see were wrong. In the second inning he made a very bad decision on first base, and Hogriever told him that he was drunk. He was at once fined and put out of the game, Kellum going to the field. The .visitors scored one run in the third inning on a bunt which Hogan beat to first, a single by Fisher, a sacrifice by Shannon and a pretty steal over the plate. In the seventh two more were scored. After Motz's out on a fly, Hollingsworth juggled Shiebeck's grounder and he scored on a long three-base drive by Stewart. Wood rolled the ball , across the diamond and Stewart was called out at the plate, although he was safe a foot. Wood took second on a wild pitch, third on a passed ball and scored on an error by O'Rourke. The Saints scored one in the third on three clean singles and five in the eighth on two bases on balls, three singles, a sacrifice, a two-bagger and Krauss's home run. Score of first game: St. Paul.

The second game went to the visitors, the score being six to four. It was a pretty game from start to finish, and was anybody's until the last man was retired. Cross was in the box for the visitors and pitched good ball. Phyle went in to pitch for the locals, but e gave the first three men up bases on balls without pitching a strike, and then retired in favor of Denzer. The latter pitched well throughout, but could not win his game. Hogan,' Shannon and Krauss carried off the honors of the game. The former did wonderful work in center field, retiring six men on flies, two of them being sensational catches. Shannon had seven chances and accepted them all without a skip. He made one or two stops of hard-hit balls which were as pretty as were ever made on a ball field. Mullane missed a chance to complete a triple play in the first inning, with three men on bases. Motz lined a ball to Krauss. who caught it and sent it to Hollingsworth, on second, who in turn threw to first. The ball went straight into Mullane's hands, but he dropped it. Pis man was a dozen feet off the base and would have easily been put out but for the fumble. Trie visitors scored their first run in the third inning. Shannon hit for two bases and scored on a single by Motz. In the fourth, doubles by Stetwart and$ Wood gave the visitors another. Wood's homer in the sixth inning was the third, and the other three wers scored in the seventh on an error by Hollingsworth, a double by Motz and a single by Shiebeck. The locals scored three in the first on two singles and two errors by Cross and one In the third on two singles and a nas'iwl ball. Attendance, 1,000. 3core: St "I'nlll. A.B. R. H. O. A. 1U.

Anderson's twenty-one put-outs out of twentv-seven at first base for Brooklyn in the Louisville game of Aug. 26 is the record of the season.

They play Milwaukee here Friday and Saturday, Kansas City follows next Monday. " Sixty-seven runs, in four games is the record made by the Bostons against St. Louis, and two of the contests were not played to the limit on account of darkness. On the grounds of the Central Insane hospital a -game of ball was played yesterday between the C. I. H. 'Club and the Indianapolis Reserves, resulting in the defeat of the Reserves by a score of 12 to 6. The features of the game was the battery work and the heavy-hitting in the eighth and ninth inning by the C. I. II: ' Just eighty-four people attended the St. Paul-Indianapolis game Labor day morning. For the afternoon game less than one thousand turned out. At Indianapolis a year ago Monday three thousand people saw the champions , play In the morning and 7,193 paid to see the afternoon game. That is the difference between this city and St. Paul. . The Indianapolis papers have given up all hope of landing the pennant and are now content that Minneapolis should lly the flag nit. The Indianapolis papers may have abandoned the fight, but the Indianapolis players have not. The players are a never-quit lot and will be found fighting as hard at the windup -as when they were struggling for first place. Columbus Press. FORECAST FOR TO-DAY.

In the first game Dowd led off with a hit for two bags and Sullivan singled, advancing him to third.x Turner sent a low liner to Smith, who caught the ball when almost prostrate and retired the batter. Before rising he touched the bag and Dowd was caught playing off third. Smith ; then threw to Cartwright, who caught Sullivan as he was starting 'to second on the play. . Kissinger was hit freely in the first game and errors helped to give the game, to the Senators. In the. second Norton pitched better ball than Hart, who was somewhat wild. The Washington management again ' attached the gate receipts of the St. Louis club. The difficulty originated in the sale of the Cincinnati Brotherhood team to the League some years ago.

A Brooklyn woman who is the wife of a prominent member of the New York Produce Exchange tells a pretty little story of Lincoln's journey East prior to his inauguration as President. She was then a slip of a girl going to school in Jersey City. She had never seen Lincoln and when the day came that he would reach Jersey Civ she went to the station. It was early in the morning, and she thought she cculu see the coming President yand get to school before the doors were closed at 9 o'clock. With the crowd she waited. The clock was pointing at ten minutes to 9. and she said to herself: "I will wait only five minutes more." when a great shout arose as the expected train pulled In. Several local notables went forward to greet the elected President, and then she saw

him. tall, thin and gaunt looming above the crowd. The cheering continued, when somehow she again caught sight of the station clock. .. Five minutes after 9 it pointed, and she. started. Off she ran. excitement at seeing the great man and nervousness and fear of punishment mingled. The school reached, she found the doors standing wide open, and she thought "perhaps they haven't opened school yet and I can get in quietly and no one will notice." She slowly pushed the school room door open, and there was the room with all tne scholars assembled no one missing but herself and with the principal standing apparently waiting. "Come here." said the principal, and the girl walked through the aisle to the front of the school. "Mary, where have you been?" came the question abruptly. "I havo been to see Lincoln," was the nervous reply. "Did you see him?" "Yes, sir." "Shake hands. I wish I had seen him, too." was the unexpected rejoir Jer, and the embarrassed and blushing little girl and the big principal gravely shook hands. ALL TRIED HARD TO WIN

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Sept. 8.-When . the bids for the erection of the r.ew public building at Youngstown, O., were opened at the Treasury Department to-day. It was found that the lowest was that of Messrs. S. C. Moere & Son, of Kokomo. Their bid was for $28,877. By some clerical oversight the bid was not signed, as required, and the bid was consequently laid aside. A certified check, as required in the advertisement calling for bids, accompanied the Moore bid, so the omission of the firm's signature was presumably an oversight. The department did not finally reject the bid, but will taka It under advisement. The next lowest bid was that of Bailey, Keoner & Co., oZ Louisville, for $31,849. The highest bid was that of Wagner & Willis, of Asheville, N. C. for $65,844. Treasury officials are accustomed to wride divergence In contractors' estimates, but this is the first time within recollection that there has been a difference of 100 per cent, between the highest and the lowest bid.

Pretty Flht on for the Indianapolis ' Medals. The third race meet of the Capital City Cycle Club will ba held this evening at the track near the fair grounds. The programme will consist of five events. All of the local riders, with the exception of Craig, are entered. The fight for the Indianapolis championship medal is waxing warm. Under the conditions made by the club the medal, which is valued at $100, will become the property of the Indianapolis rider who wins the greatest number ol first prizes on the Capital City track during the present season. Alex. Craig la now In the lead, having won two firsts at the opening meet of the club. At the last meet Jacob Stienmetz won first place in the race for the medal and he Is very anxious to even up Craig's record. Tom David, who did some sensational riding at the meet Monday at Broad Ripple, has not vet had a chance to get into the fight, but this evening he is entered against Stienmetz in the same race and there will be a lively scramble between the two. While David carried off nearly all the honors on the Broad Ripple track Monday, he was hard pushed in several of the races by Stienmetz. and the latter says that he can go faster on a five-lap track than the winner of Monday's races. There Is no love lost between these two men and any race In which they are entered means a fight from start to finish. Taylor,, the colored rider who did such sensational work on the track last Wednesday evening, will give another exhibition this evening. He claims that he can make a track reoord of two minutes on a five-lap track, and is going to make an effort to do it. Everything is in Taylor's favor for his trial. He is in the oest of condition and has been steadily practicing during the past week. He Is a. little rider and rides close to his wheel. This enables him to make the turns in good style, and he dots not have to lose any tim in taking the outside of the track. Taylor says that it is simply a question of pacing, and. if the men in front of him go fast enough, he will break all records for a five-lap track. He will also go an unpaced fifth to beat his own record of ;23 3-5, made last Wednesday. The transportation facilities will be much better than any of the other meets, Thn street railway company has promised a five-minute service. There was a good deal of complaint on this score at the last meet and many people who wished to .attend the meet were unable to do so. The club will give a big race meet next week during the State fair. Races will be hold Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, and nil of the crack amateur riders of the State will be here. Manager Clemens has sent out entry blanks nnd several prominent riders who havo met the local cracks In competition this season from other towns have u-plttph tl-mf tVitav will lifi lifro Ono frtt 'ture of the meet next week will le three match races between Taylor and A. 8..
