It was like standing on a step-ladder pickin cherries and tiptoeing for a big bunch Just at your finger tips, only to have the ladder collapse Just as you make a final effort to get the coveted prize. Such things are pathetic, but the failure of the Hoosiers to take the little step into first place yesterday was really tragical. It seemed such a short distance to gain the top of the championship ladder, but, like the experience of many mountain climbers, tne last atep was found to be the most difficult, and the Hooslcrs slipped. The strain was great, and the effort to please the immense crowd resulted In severe nervousness. Louisville scored 11 to Indianapolis t, but only two of the visitors' runs were earned. The crowd was a holiday assembly In proportions, and. as it was ladies day. the grand ttand was well filled with feminine rooters. The top of the stand was again utilized to accommodate the overflow, and both bleachers were filled Considering it was a day following a holiday the crowd was a record-breaker, there being about 4.300 fans present. And how they did root! Emil Fertig used a megaphone to lead the left bleacherites, and. until the Colonels got so far In the lead that the game seemed to be lost beyond all doubt, the WEATHER FORECAST.

fans kept up an incessant clamor. The din was Increased by an enthusiastic rooter beating on a drum and another hammering a piece of Iron resembling a stovelid. But all the noise and all the pulling did not prevent Louisville from sending Indianapolis down in defeat by a decisive score. REVERSAL OF FORM. It was a disastrous reversal of form, the Hoosiers failing to trot along with the easy stride that won for them many games of late, while Louisville showed no signs of the nervous tension displayed in the two games on Monday. The visitors started oft? with a lead of two runs in the first inning by making connections with Killen's curves. The Hoosiers tied in the last of the second with a couple of hits, an error and an out. The strain then became too great, and in the following inning Coulter dropped a fly ball and Fox made such a miserable throw the Colonels took the lead. Killen was treated unkindly in the fifth, and two more runs were added to the rapidly increasing Louisville score. Indianapolis made one in the sixth, and the crowd took fresh hopes, but in the first of the ninth those hopes were shattered by Louisville sending five men around the circuit. With eight runs needed to tie. the Hoosiers went to bat in the ninth and failed to score. Flaherty was the mound builder for Louisville, and, while the score shows he was found for eleven safe hits, most of them were scattered and others came at inopportune times. There was a change in the Louisville line-up. Clymer playing short and he made several stops that deprived Indianapolis batters of hits. The fielding of the visitors was sensational, and this largely accounts for the smailness of the Indianapolis end of the score. OD WELL STARTED TROUBLE. Odwell started trouble in the first inning by dropping a safe hit in right. Kerwin duplicated the etTort, Odwell taking i.iird on the hit. Krwin went to second on the throw to thho. Ganzel struck out, and Bonner placed a long fly in center, which Coulter bagged. Odwell scored on the out. Clymer singled to center, scoring Kerwin. Schaub forced Clymer at second, and the first agony was over. In the last of the first Inning Hogrlever and Fox were easily retired, and, after Coulter hit to left for two bases, Kihm struck out. The second inning opened by Schrlver walking to first. Flournoy attempted to sacrifice and placed a bunt fiy in Killen's hands and Schrlver was doubled at first.

Flaherty hit to O'Brien and died at first. Enthusiasm was aroused in the last of the second when the Hoosiers tied the score. Woodruff went out on a hard chance to Bonner, but O'Brien beat out an infield at tempt. Kuhns singled to left and Flournoy allowed the ball to get by him, O'Brien scoring and Kuhns reaching third. Heydon was hit and when Killen drew a pass the bases were filled. Hogrlever bounded one to Bonner, forcing Killen at second, Kuhns scoring. Hogrlever was caught off first, retiring the side. Odwell drew transportation in the third, but was caught off the base. Kerwin fanned out, but Ganzel placed a long fly in center, which Coulter dropped. Coulter threw to Fox, who in turn made a bad throw to Kuhns and the runner trotted home. The fourth inning opened by O'Brien dropping Clymer's fly. Killen fumbled Sehaub's bunt. Clymer reaching third and Schaub perching on first. Schriver's hit scored Clymer. The next two men struck out and Odwell fouled to Kihm. The Colonels added two in the fifth. Kerwin hit to left for two bases and Ganzel singled, sending Kerwin to third. Killen did something that has long been expected made a balk and Ganzel advanced to second. Bonner flew to Heydon, but Clymer's single scored Kerwin and Ganzel. Schaub hit to O'Brien, a fast double play retiring the side. IN THE SIXTH. Louisville was retired in the sixth without any runs and the Hoosiers made one in the last half. Kihm reached first on Clymer's error. Woodruff forced Kihm and went to second on a passed ball. O'Brien flew out, but Kuhn's single scored Woodruff. Heydon fanned. No more scores were made by either team in the seventh and eighth innings. Fox gathered in a hard line drive in the seventh and made a double play. In the last of the eighth Clymer made a great stop of Heydon's chance and retired the side by putting out Kuhns at second. Then came the ninth in which the visitors scored five and deprived Indianapolis of all chances to win. Flaherty struck out, but the next three men singled. Bonner hit to Fox when the bases were filled and O'Brien dropped the thrown ball. Odwell scored und the bags were again occupied. Clymer nit to left for three bases, scoring three runs. Clymer scored on Sehaub's long fly to Coulter. Schrlver singled, but Kuhns gathered in Flournoy's line drive making the third out. Kellum went to bat for KUlen in the last of the ninth and struck out. Hogriever hit to right for two bases and was caught trying to make third. Fox singled and Coulter placed a safe one in right. Kihm forced Coulter at second and the game was over. The score: Indianapolis. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

To-day's game is the last one at Washington Park this season. The board of directors of the American Association will decide within a week whether the last Indianapolis game at Louisville is to be thrown out or not. The St. Louis-Washington game was postponed yesterday on account of the nonarrival at St. Louis of the Washington club, which was in a railroad wreck. A large crowd should see the last game to-day and root for Indianapolis. Kellum will pitch for the Hoosiers and Coons probably will do the slab work for Louisville. WON THE FLY1N0 HANDICAP

ANSELLA THE WINNER

TOOK THE CHARTER OAK PRIZE OF flü.OOO FOR 2ill TROTTERS. Idollta'a Chances Spoiled by an AccidentDirect Hal Pushed ly Greenline In 2:30 Pace. HARTFORD. Conn., Sept. i. Ansella . trotted two slow heats in the Charter Oak $10,000 event to-day and then went In and won in three straight heats. The race was marred by a bad accident in the last heat when Idolita and Hawthorne came together, both horses going dotn. The accident happened at the three-quarter pole, and the majority of the 5,000 spectators left the stands, crossing the Infield to the scene of the accident. The horses and drivers were found to be uninjured. Each driver blamed the other, but the fault was found to lie with Driver Tozier for fouling the wheel guard of Hudson's sulky. Idolita had won two heats and held a good position in the heat which won for Ansella the race. In the first heat Ansella broke at the start and again in the back stretch. Metallas gave Idolita a hard drive and Ozanam broke badly. In the second heat Metallas led, but was passed in the back stretch and Idolita took the heat. The third heat was easy for Ansella, with Ozanam coming fast and getting second place. The fourth heat looked good for Hawthorne, but he broke at the wire and though Ansella had broken twice, she came in a winner. The fifth heat was an easy win for the favorite. , The pool sellers evidently feared Direct Hal's bursts of speed and no pools were sold on him in the 2:30 pace. He won in straight heats, and though the time he made was fast he could have done better. Greenline sold for second place at even money. To win the third heat and race Direct Hal had to pace the last quarter in better time than :30. Greenline, which led at the three-quarter pole, did the quar ter in and Direct Hal was two lengths behind Greenline when time was snapped at the stretch mark. Eula Mac sold favorite at $50, with the field $70 in the 2:16 trot, but Scott Hudson drove Prince Zelma to win after Golden had taken a heat with Silver Glow. Hal Fry continually broke in scoring and in heats, but in the third heat he went remarkably fast and It was only by the hardest driving and in a whipping finish that Golden took the heat with Silver Glow. Previous to starting the 2:11 pace Billy H. sold a favorite at $50 with the field $65. but Don Riley took the second, third and fourth heats. The judges believed thac Billy H. had been pulled and in the last heat substituted Driver Geers for finisher. In scoring Billy H. showed the greatest ; speed and apparently wanted to win. but ! the heat was Don Riley's in easy fashion. Hudson's horse led at the half and at the three-quarters had such a lead that it was impossible for Betonica to catch him. though Tozier drove hard to win.

President Roosevelt'a New England speeches present a remarkable study in executive oratory. They represent s tone and quality refreshingly different from the ordinary sje'chmaking of a touring President and reveal the strenuous Roosevelt in a guise not familiar to a majority of hla admirers. Selecting homely, moral subjecta, the President has from day to day dwelt upon truths that He at the base of all true civic and individual prosperity. He has not greeted the throngs that have welcomed him from day to day with difficult political argument, or the oratory th t sought to arouse or enthuse party or partisan fervor, but has in simple language recalled the old truths that enforce honest living on the part of the individual and the highest civic courage and virtue on the part of the citizen. His speeches and the manner of their reception have furnished a striking illustration of how sound the American life is at the core. Not only has the President In this New England town spiked the guns of his political critics, but he has furnished fresh proof of the fact that public thinking in this country Is clean and healthy In all the real sources of national power and stability. As America Would Sec It. i Minneapolis Tribune. The German papers want a Joint financial control in Venezuela, like that In Egypt, for the protection of bondholders of all nations.

It would see that nobody else did. The Fact of the Matter. , Washington Star.
