The Indianapolis team played better ball than the locals today and some three hundred enthusiasts saw St. Louis suffer defeat by the score of 13 to 7. Jack Suthoff, tho clever little righthander, was on the slab the last six innings for the visitors ami he was a complete enigma. He Is in the pink of condi-. tlon already and shot his best balls over the plate. The home players had opened savagely on Stlmmel and six safeties, coupled with a base on balls and a wild throw by Flynn had given them five runs. Stlmmel blanked them in the next two Innings and then gave way to Suthoff. He began by fanning OTKnnell and Harper. Ihirkett walked and Jleidrlck singled. Bey missed Donovan's fly, after a hard run, and McCann was given a life by Flynn, two tallies resulting. That ended the locals fcorlng and for the next live Innings they were retired almost In order, but one runner getting as far as third Harper did well for live innings, but Knepper, , who finished out, had neither speed nor control, and was hammered for ten runs, seven hits, us many free walks to first and two wild pitches doing tho business. Hey, Grim and Suthoff did the most effective stick work for the visitors. Bey got three safe ones, including a long triple, while Grim and Suthoff both made two hard drive for a base. each. Hogrlevcr worked In a double, besides getting three tickets to first, and made the circuit three times. Manager "Watklns got In from Louisville this morning.

AQUATIC CLUB MEETS XKW OITK KHS ELKCTKI1 AT THE am al ; nii:iti(;. A Cienerr! niwetixKidti of Chili IniIiruveiiicii t mill Heportn of Ofllcera The DrUluur Club. The annual meeting of the Aquatic Club was held at the Grand Hotel last night and officers for the ensuing year were elected. The retiring directors were Allan Hendricks, W. II. Rockwood and P. A. Hinds, and the new directors elected are Dr. F. R. Charlton. P. A. Havellck and P. A. Hinds, the latter being re-elected. The directors held a meeting after the adjournment of the stockholders meeting and elected the following officers for the ensuing year: P. A. Havellck, president; Miles Burford, vice president; Dr. F. R. Charlton, secretary, and P. A. Hinds, treasurer. The reports of the secretary and treasurer showed that the club is In good financial condition and out of debt with a balance In the treasury. An amendment to the constitution was offered by Secretary Burford and it will be voted upon at a meeting of the club, April 27, at the boathouse. His amendment provided for increasing the membership from 15") to 2"0 and Increasing the capital rstock from $1.500 to $2.000. The amendment also provided that no member will be eligible to cast a vote at an election of officers unless he Is free from debt to tho club. Quite a discussion arose regarding the policy of the club in the future on athletic events, such as wrestling an boxing bouts. It was suggested that the lockers on tho second deck of the boathouse be removed to the lower deck and a "Yinnasium and wrestling mat be installed .n the reception room. Many of the club members were in favor of this plan, but others objected to It, claiming that there was not enough room on the lower deck for the lockers and. should they be moved there, there would be no room for the storing of boats. Mr. Havellck was called upon to express his views, and he said that, in view of the fact that the club is rapidly increasing in membership, it would be only a question of time until it would have to build a new boathouse or a clubhouse on land and use the old boathouse for the storing of boats. He said the street-car company would probably donate enough ground for a suitable clubhouse and it was better for the club to make only slight improvements this yvar and then next year the question of a suitable clubhouse where there would be room for athletic events would bo taken up. President Thomas Wynn. of the Canoe Club, was present and was asked to give his views regarding aquatic events between the two clubs this summer. He said the Canoe Club had not as yet discussed Its plans for the present season and was in no position to give an answer to the Aquatic Club. It Is likely, however, that there will be several meets arranged between the two clubs this summer. Driving: Club O filer r. The stockholders of the Business Men's Driving Club mH at the Grand Hotel last night and elected officers. Charles K Shover was elected president; W. N. Short. Alee president, and Charles U.

Thniik from King: Edwnrd. NEW YORK. April R. Mrs. Donald MeLain. the regent of the New York city Ciiapter of the Daughters of the American Keolutlon, received the following letter to-day from Lord Lansdowne, the British foreign secretary: "Madame: I have laid before the King, my sovereign, n Utter from the chapter of the Daughters of the American P.evolu-

If this operation is successful it will be repeated Frida v for the second rope and Saturday for the third. TO SHOOT IN ENGLAND AMERICAN TRAP SHOOTERS CHALLENGE REST I1RIT1SII EXPERTS.

Schorr's bay filly Lady Schorr, with George Long's bay colt Gaheris third. The time was 1:57, a very creditable performance.

Siddons, The Commander and Dick Burgess were also scratched, leaving only six contestants. The Schorr pair were held at the prohibitive odds of 1 to 3, while 8 to 1 was chalked against Royal Victor. After two false breaks the field was sent away to an excellent start, with Royal Victor a head In front of Farmer Bennett and ihe others close up. Farmer Bennett and Lady Schorr Immediately raced to the front, and, with Royal Victor a length away, made the running to the stretch. At this point Winktleld sent the Hayu colt up to the Kaders, and in the run home he challenged Lady Schorr. J.

MORE TROUBLE IN SIGHT

TIIE BLOCK COAL VIIMIHS It EF IS 1 1 TUE OPEUATOns TERMS. RitumlnocN Field nt Work Combina tion of Co-Uperutlve c;1:imm Plant Life Sentence for Rogers. Facial to the Indian.ir'is Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., April 8. The proposition of the operators presented to the block-coal miners as a basis of settlement at a joint meeting held here on Friday was rejected to-day by almost unanimous vote of the men. The operators agreed to advance the day men 15 cents per diem if the miners would purchase powder from them at $1.13 per keg, as was agreed in the bituminous district. A Joint meeting of operators and miners was held this afternoon, when the vote of the miners was made known. Seeing that a settlement was Impossible without one of the contesting parties giving in, a committee consisting of Houston Johnson, for the miners, and William Wilson, for the operators, went to Indianapolis to-night to hold a conference with the miners national executive board to try and secure a compromise agreement. If this falls a strike is inevitable. President Van Horn, of the Indiana district, will confer with the executive board in this city to-day, relative to a settlement. Nothing was done last night relative to the block coal disagreement. IM tu mi 1101m Miner nt Work. Special to the fMianai'olls Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 8. The reports received from various parts of the Indiana bituminous coal field to-day agreed that there was no resistance to the contract signed here last week by the miners and operators, and that wherever there was work to be done there were miners ready to work. One report on Saturday from Linton was that three local unions there had decided not to go to work to-day under the contract because it contained the clause requiring miners to buy powder from the employing operators at $1.75 a keg. Advices received' here by both operators and miners' officials were to the effect that this report exaggerated the situation. There was and is yet in some places positive objection to the powder clause, and there is a disposition to criticise officers of the organization in the matter, but the fact is that the delegates themselves are wholly responsible for the action taken. The next probable difficulty will be in enforcing the purchase of the powder In the manner provided. If the operators find miners buying powder from the Great Northern Company they will either discharge the men or call on the labor organization to take steps to see that the contract is complied with. Co-Operative Plants Mny Combine. b'pecial to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind.. April S. A movement Is on foot for an organization of. the co-operative window glass companies of the country, of which the Indiana gas belt is the moving spirit. The plan is to organize under one head and set a time for closing and starting the plants, fix the wage scales, etc., as is done by the American Window Glass Company and the independents' combination. Co-operation on the part of the L. A. 300 members is growing so rapidly that the total capacity of the co-operative factories now reaches nearly three hundred pots. The trust is losing many valuable men. and the fact that theise factories have been in the habit of beginning early and closing late the output has cut quite a figure in the general window glass trade. LIFE SENTENCE FOR ROGERS. .Murderer of 31 11 burn llaty Convicted in the VIko Circuit Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 8. Charles Rogers was very willing this morning to receive a sentence for life Imprisonment from Judge Piety, of the Circuit Court. He had feared the Jury would return a verdict for capital punishment. He had no objection to offer and his only request was that he might see his two children before he was removed to the prison. His wife, whom ne shot at the lime he killed Mllburn Baty, her stepfather, is still at the hospital being treated for the wound, but It has not been thought best to Inform her of tho verdict. When the Jury went out five were for the death penalty, but they yielded after several ballots and after one Juror had said he would stay out against capital punishment for all time.
