NOT GOOD Ml D LARKS. HooNiers Enable to Play’ Well on a Water-Soaked Field. *4 trial to the Indianapolis Journal. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 22. —lt rained steadily l'rom 6 o’clock this morning until 1 o'clock this afternoon, when it cleared up and a gang of men was put on Lexington i’ark and got it ready for a game by 3:20. The lield was heavy and base running was a hazardous undertaking, but the fielding of both teams was, as a rule, excellent. The star work of the day was done by Hollingsworth at second, who accepted eleven chances, three of them so ditticult that the crowd roundly applauded him. Motz also made a remarkable catch in the sixth inning. Mullane hit a high line drive which look< and good for three bases. Motz jumped in the air, arrested its flight with his big glove, was thrown on his back, but caught the ball in his other hand as he came down. For a,wet day the hitting of the Apostles was very strong, six good safe drives being made in the first inning, which, with two errors, netted seven runs and put the locals on “Easy street.” The visitors made two hits each in the fourth and iifth innings, but during the rest of the game dal almost nothing with Mullane’s pitching. Owing to yesterday’s wrangling, Lally was S' ut here to assist Manassau in umpiring. Score: St Paui. A.B. R. 11. O. A. E.

liud ii Successful Week. The Indianapolis team had a pleasant v- ■ k of it. The wind-up was a trifle squally. hut one defeat a week is easily forgiven. The recoid is all right, and if Watkins’s n • n will only go in now and capture live of the remaining nine games in the West t‘ ■ > will earn the gratitude of thousands oi tans here. If a club breaks even on a trip it is .til that can be asked by any reatide follower of the great game. In>i. tnapohs has already won four games on >h. Western trip and needs but three more victories to get an even break. These three win surely he chalked up. and perhaps a couple more. The team Is crippled by Gray's injury, but when McCarthy joins the l.oys at Milwaukee to-morrow Flynn <- iu he moved to third ar.d tried out as inflekler. Gray may be a,ll right by that tmi.- however. McCarthy leaves this noon tot Milwaukee, and Watkins will be glad to get him into the game again. COLLEGE BASEBALL. De Pauw Bata Out a Game with Pardue in the Ninth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. < aiiINCASTLE, Ind., May 22.—De Pauw h i no trouble In defeating Purdue to-day. The Boiler Makers tied the score In the

seventh, but De Pauw took advantage of some bad errors and pulled out of danger. Pulse, De Pauw's crack pitcher, was saving his arm for a trip into Ohio next w’eek, and started in to let the visitors hit the ball, but the De Pauw team piied up errors with such regularity that Pulse finally had to pitch winning ball. This he did at the critical stage, and the game was never seriously in doubt. The batting, however, was heavy throughout. Score: R. H. E.

A BIG BASEBALL DEAL IT MAY PIT INDIANAPOLIS IN THE BIG LEAGUE THIS SUMMER. o Dickson Talbott Have an Option on the Home C’luli und Are Negotiating; for Cleveland. * Even since Indianapolis dropped out of the big league there has been occasional talk of this city resuming its place In the national organization. Once it was the Louisville franchise that was to come here, and at another time it was the St. Louis. Right now, however, Indianapolis is nearer a place in the National League than she has been at any time since her retirement. A deal of some magnitude has been developing for some weeks, and has progressed thus far: The well-known theatrical firm of Dickson & Talbott has secured an option on the Indianapolis Club, and opened negotiations with the Robisons for the purchase of the Cleveland Club and franchise, with the expectation of bringing the Cleveland Club here and putting the Indianapolis Club and franchise in Cleveland. They have received word that the Robisons are willing to sell, and have assurances that no obstacles would be thrown in the way of the transfer in either league. Thus the only thing necessary to complete the deal is an agreement on price between Dickson & Talbott and the Robisons. This, however, may prove a big obstacle, for the Cleveland magnates will try to get out even on their losses, which would mean a big figure.

This is the first venture of Dickson & Talbott in the held of baseball, though they have been favorably inclined toward the game from a business point of view for several j r ears. Last year they became interested in the Chapman machine for the reproduction of games by electricity, and at the close of the season they purchased the patent and added a number of improvements, unjil now they have the almost perfect reproduction that can be seen at the Grand any afternoon while the team is playing away from home. At the beginning of this season they had five of the machines built and leased theaters in Philadelphia. Boston, New York and Cincinnati, in all of which cities they are conducting the business profitably. This brougnt them somewhat in touch with the sport, and a few weeks ago they began negotiations with the owners of the Indianapolis Club for an option. Before the season opened there was a meeting here between Mr. Brush, Mart, of Chicago, and the Robisons. They were consulting about railroad rates and the Rusie matter, but declined to say what the subject of the conference was. Local newsgatherers conceived the idea that there was a deal on contemplating putting Indianapolis in the big league with the Cleveland Club, and putting the Inuianapolis Club and Western League franchise in Cleveland. It struck Dickson & Talbott that this would be a good scheme, and they began negotiations to that end. A dispatch from Cleveland received last night said that President Robison, of the t'.eveland club had received a message fiom Messrs. Dickson & Talbott saying they had an option on the Indianapolis club and asking if the Cleveland club was for sale. and. if for sale, was there any obstacle in the way of moving the club to this city. Mr. Robison replied that the club was for sale, and that there was nothing to hinder the removal of it to this city. As to the price, he informed Messrs. Dickson & Talbott that he wou;d communicate with them later. „ , , Mr. Henry Talbott last night affirmed the statements made in the Cleveland dispateb. though he said he was not yet in a position to go very far into details concerning tne deal. "It 'is true that we have an option for sixtv days on the Indianapolis club, and would like very much to buy the Cleveland franchise. We are anxious to get into the business. We are in the amusement business here, permanently located, and feel that the baseball business is a legitimate part of that. We have the theaters in the winter and are in a position to look after the baseball business in the summer. We want sooner or later to get into the big league, and hope to do so this summer. We are ready any minute to bring the Cleveland club here. The question, of course, is the price, now that Mr. Robison says his franenise is for saie. We do not expect to pay more than the franchise is worth in order to put Indianapolis in the National League. We have fixed upon a figure which we think the Cleveland franchise is worth, and are willing to give that amount, but we shall treat the matter as a business proposition. If w r e do not get a satisfactory deal through with Mr. Robison we mav with some other club." Mr. Talbott was asked what was to be done with the Indianapolis club in case Messrs. Dickson & Talbott should take both franchises. He replied that he preferred not to say at present. It is probable that in such event the Indianapolis club would be transferred to Cleveland. "1 would rather this had not been made public just yet,” said Mr. Talbott. "There is no secret about it, though, and perhaps It had just as well be known now- as at any time. But I don’t like to have the thing published and then see It fali through. The thing has not yet fully matured in our own minds. What we are after now is to get hold of the franchise. We can then put the clubs where we pleuse.”

A Good Game and a Farce. CLEVELAND, 0., May 22.—One magnificent game and one that was a farce took place to-day. The first was a pitchers’ battle between Cuppy and Rusie, and Sockalexis won it in the last half of the tenth with a single when Tebeau was on third and two were out. The second was made a farce by the miserable playing of Wallace and Childs. The Indians could not touch Doheny. Young was batted out of the box in the third inning and Wilson pitched a pretty game thereafter, but poor' fielding spoiled it. Attendance, 8 000. Score of first game: Cleveland. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

llHHclmll Notes. Ritchey would fit In well at short for Indianapolis. Hamilton, Kelley and Keeler are the premiers in base stealing. The Young Victors defeated the Young Mohawks 25 to 14 yesterday. Centerfielder Hoy, of the Reds, got four hits yesterday for five bases in all. Watkins will make a stubborn fight for the closing game at St. Paul to-day. Tony Mullane has been St. Paul's mainstay in the box thus far this season. The Indianapolis team has pulled its batting average up considerably during the past week. Pitcher Hermann, one of the Colonels’ extra men, has been loaned to the Minneapolis ball club. The National League clubs pay for salaries of players and other help and for traveling over J5f10,000 per season. The Kansas City papers say Connie Alack does not wear a uniform under false pretenses, as he is strictly in the game behind the bat. Hank O’Day has a fad of levying taxes on garulous captains. Mike Griffin hiis had SSO worth of conversation with O’Day thus far this season. Milwaukee is coming fast, and there will be a great fight this week when Watkins’s nun and the Brewers come together up in Wisconsin’s metropolis. Two out of three at St. Paul will be quite good enough. Indianapolis should be able to take to-day’s game now that Tony Mullane is out of the way. Jake Beekley was unconditionally released yesterday by the New York club. He will go to St. Louis. Clark has been playing and hitting better for New r York than has Beekley. Loftus says that Tebeau fined Daniels $lO for not reporting at a Kansas City game in time. The Columbus manager denies the story that his best pitcher was fined for drinking. Second Baseman Connor, of Chicago, Is doing good work. Yesterday his record was: three times at bat, one run, two hits (double and homer), one sacrifice hit, five put outs, four assists and no errors. Corcoran played shorstop for Cincinnati yesterday and although he made two errors, the only ones credited to the Reds, he hit the ball safely twice, once for a double, and took care of five chances in the field. Jack Crooks got In one of his old-time dirty plays yesterday when in the third inning he blocked Carney on the base line between second and third. Haskell allowed Carney the base for the interference.—Kansas City Star. McJames and Swaim, of the Washington team, have stipulations in their contracts that they are not compelled to play Sunday ball. Swaim pitched Sunday ball in the Interstate League last year when he was with Fort Wayne. The Chicago News says Pitcher Klobedanz. of the Bostons, is the pitching wonder of the age because he does not “sass” the umpire, no matter how many times the sphere cuts the plate and is called a ball by the master of the field. McFarland’s regular home run came alorg on time yesterday, and while it cut no especial figure in the result it cheered the drooping spirits of the fans at the Grand Opera House. They have come to regard a homer from McFarland as an everyday contribution.

It is announced unofficially that Umpire Lally has been dropped from the Western League staff. The force is now made up of Ebright, Manassau, Graves and Haskell. President Johnson is watching their work every day. Lally helped umpire yesterday, but it was probably his last game. Says the Cleveland World: "Sox is unquestionably the greatest hitter Cleveland has ever had, from a slugging standpoint. He belongs in the saane class of batters as Delehanty, Lajoie, Beckley, Joyce and Stenzel. An admirable feature of the Indian’s batting is, like Delehanty, he hits the ball equally hard to all parts of the field.” Had it not been for Kansas City and Detroit last year the Senators would have finished much higher in the race, as the Columbus team seemed to have a hoodoo In those two aggregations, while with the other teams in the league they invariably made a good showing. Can it be that the same clubs are to be the stumbling blocks of ‘the Buckeyes this year?”—Columbus Journal. In writing of the New York Club, O. P. Cay lor says: "The club needs the service of Clarke, and needs it badly. ‘Dad’ may not be the most amiable fellow In the profession and the ea iest to control, but he is a pitcher who doesn’t lose his head when the score is close and lose the game that way. Another reason why the New Yorks do not win more games is their lack of team w'ork at bat and on bases. This weakness has been observed dozens of times in their Eastern games." To-morrow the Indianapolis team will begin a series of four games at Milwaukee. These games will ah he shown at the

Grand Opera House, beginning at 3:30 each afternoon. Yesterday’s game at St. Paul drew a big house, and though the ardor of the rooters was dampened in the opening inning by the way the Saints went after Foreman, they rallied nobly whenever Indianapolis showed an inclination to score and set up a great shout. The Milwaukee games will be lively enough to suit them. Here is one from the Columbus Dispatch that is probably the product of the writer’s vivid imagination: ’There was another shift in the baseball ladder, and the Senators yesterday again tumbled from their lofty pinnacle to fourth place. Mr. Smiling Pete Daniels has been dallying with the cup that cheers. When Captain Tebeau clapped a “century” plaster upon his back Pete bucked like the proverbial broncho, but he came to his medicine like a little man and helped Dinsmore bat out a run in the ninth. Too bad we lost Pete's services just at the very time we needed games, but—ah, well.” A funny thing in connection with the Western trip of the Eastern clubs is that a week ago one of the. Columbus papers was regretting that the arrangement of the schedule gave Loftus's team only three chances at Kansas City this time, while Indianapolis had four. This Columbus paper figured that Manning’s men were demoralized, and that Columbus would find them easy picking; also that Indianapolis had the best of it on account of getting off with three games each at Minneapolis and St. Paul. This reasoning was far-fetched to begin with, owing to the uncertainty attending ball games, and the results made it absurd, as the Blues fairly slaughtered Columbus three straight games, while Indianapolis did the same for the Millers. The Ohio men were probably glad enough to get away from Kansas City without playing any more games. “You remember Tom Ramsey’s great strike-out record in 1887, when he struck out nineteen in a game between the Colonels and Browns.” remarked Silver King the other day. “There is an Impression that Ramsay won this game. But he didn’t. I pitched against the Colonels that day and won mv game by a score of 8 to 1. When Comiskev saw that Ramsey’s drop had us in the air he instructed us to dump The ball and beat it out. We won the game in the eighth and ninth innings. Yankee Robinson, Curt Welch, Latham and Comiskey beat out bunts. The majority of these bunts went to Ramsey, whose fielding had a larger streak of saffron dabbed on it than any pitcher in the old association. Tom lost his game that day by bungling over bunted balls, and giving a few bases on balls. In the last inning, Welch and Latham beat out bunts and Tip O'Neill sent them home on a three-bagger, the only hit ot the game. 1 '
