WANTS $42,000 TO BOOT TO LET PIERCE LEAVE Manager Cohen Says He Would Not Accept a Proposition to Trade Plaver. Manager Harry Cohen, of the Indianapolis polo team, is more than pleased at the wonderful showing that has bee i made by Dicky Pierce in the last two games while playing a floor-working game instead of that of a cover point. After the game last Bight Manager Cohen stated that he would not trade Pierce for any player in the league. "Pierce played the best game tonight that X have ever seen and I think so well of him that if the Mai ion management would come to me now with an offer to trade Lewis or Jean for Pierce 1 would say that I would make the trade for either man if Paige & Stlnson would give me 342.000 to boot." The next game in the local rink will be with Richmond to-morrow night. This is the game which was postponed a short time ago owing to the nonarrival of the Quaker quintet. The amateur game on that night wlli be between the Barrister and Habich teams, two of the best clubs in the Commercial League. On Saturday night Kahns, of the Indianapolis Commercial League will play the B. G. team of Elwood in the Auditorium as u curtain raiser to the Indiana pol is-El wood game.

The local fans are not pleased with the record the Riehmond polo team is making. Richmond continues in the first division and has won fair proportion of the games, but the play of late has been decidedly off color and .jrames have been lost that the fans believe should have been won e sily. There sem - to be a left ting Mown on the part of th Quakers and there is a loss to account for.it. Bone is not keeping up his record as a goal getter ard Cunningham has proved !low in a number of Kami at second rush. The fans are hoping the Quakers Will get together and redeem th:melvae this week. It eannot be said that there is much confidence here in Richmond being able to land the pennant, although there was much nr. :. : . of that nature early in tho season. Ki -nnell) mid Itrtiek Matched.

The speedy Indian quintet defeated Marion last night by a score of 6 to 4 after the latter team had lost, one goal on fouls. Indianapolis played another magnificent game of polo and was fully entitled to the hardearned victory. The game was rough throughout. Halfhack Cameron, of Marion, was the chief offender In the roughing line, and a fine of $2 was assessed against him in addition to one foul. Jean and Fox, of Marion, also drew black marks, as did O'Hara and Tarrant, of the local five. Fox and Tarrant mixed near the close of the second ieriod and both fell to the floor. Fox was the aggressor and was penalized by Referee Moran. The fifteen hundred fans Were continually on their feet cheering the wonderful floor work of Pierce and McGUvray. Tarrant missed several excellent chances, but the little rusher has played in but few games this season and has not yet struck his gait. O'Hara played another great game at half back, and Bannon made many stops that were little short of marvelous. If McGilvray's men keep on playing the polo they played last night the flag should on form land in Indianapolis, notwithstanding the present standing of the Indians in the race for the championship. The players are individually showing more vim and spirit than has been seen on the local floor at any time this season and they now play with the old "do or die" spirit which has been successful in so many contests of skill and endurance. After the Marion aggregation had caged three goals in the first period the hopes of the fans was noticeably drooping and for a time the cheers sounded fainter. Their spirits raised slightly when O'Hara carried the ball down the floor and landed it In the Marion net on a short drive. Pierce scored the njxt tally in twenty-eight seconds and the crowd became mere hopeful. The first inning closed with the Indians one score to the bad. The first nine minutes of play in the second period were lightning fast and the bleacherltes rose as one when Tarrant tallied in 9.4S. taking a flying pass from Captain McGUvray. Pierce quickly follow.,, counting in twenty-three seconds, the pass being from Tarrant. This was the UuM score in the second period and the Indians were one to the good. Before Iewls counted in 7:35 for Marion at the start of the third period. Captain Jean's men had lost one marker on three fouls. Pierce then caged the ball after one of the prettiest exhibitions of floorwork witnessed in this or any other rink. He carried the sphere the entire length of the floor, through the opposing defense and scored on a short drive in 3:40. Tarrant then counted in 1:05 on a pass from McGUvray. Lewis caged the last tally in 2:35. t iking the pass from Warner. Line-up and summary: Indianapolis. Position. Pierce First rush... . Tarrant Second rush... . McGUvray Center O'Hara Half back Marion.

Referee Waller lost the good graces of Elwood fans tonight by calling n fool in goal on White when the Elwood goal tend was four feet out of the Ronl circle at the time the offen.-. . which consisted of striking the ball with his hand, occurred. The demonstration against him took on renewed Intensity wh. n he refused to call a palpnble foul in (QfJ by Jessup. The game abounded in fast, rough piny, Mansti- 11 being guilty of the OPaa riding.

Both Phones Ask For The Journal L FOREMOST FIGHTER Russia's War Chief Was Skoleleff's Right-Hand Man at Plevna and Also in Asia. MILITARY AUTHORITY PARIS, Feb. 16-The following is a brief description of the man who will command Russia's land forces in the East bj the war: It is safe to say that not Russia alone, but the great globe itself, contains no man so thoroughly equipped in every brauch of military knowledge as Gen. Alexei Nlcholavitch Kouropatkin. who since 1898 has been minister of war in the Russiau empire. Educated in the theory of arms at the best of the Russian military schools, trained to practice under the greatest of modern Russian wnrriors. Geu. Mikhael Skobeleff, he made a glorious record in every important Russian war since 1866. and worked his way up from sublieutenant in that year to the command of the army in 1897. Xor Is this the sum total of his accomplishm nts. His monographs on the chief episodes of the Rai kau campaign are acknowledged classics, his books on "Algeria" and "Kaahgaiia" have been crowned by the Imperial Geographical Society, his essays are recognised authorities on every point of strategy, his proficiency as an instructor of youth has been demonstrated in the technical schools, his executive abilities have been put to the severest and most successful tests in the governorship of the transcaspian district and in the onerous office whih he occupies at present, and he has worn more decorations than any one breast could wear at any one time. Like most Russian officers, he comes from the ancient nobility. For centuries his family h;s played a lending part in the local government of Pskoff. where their ancestral estates are situated. Here he was born on March 17. 1K48. After completing the courses of the Cddet Corps School and of the Imperial MiMtary College in St. Petersburg, he obtained n ' commission as sublieutenant in the Turkestan Rifles. He was then only eighteen. The various tribes and nations which occupied the vast territory then known simply' as Turkestan were In a condition of wild disorder, and were united only in a common hatred for the Christians. DECORATED RY FRANCE. In June. 1S64, an expedition under General Chrrnaieff had been sent into that portion of what is now West Turkestan, which lay just across the then borders of Asiatic Russia. Tashkcnd had fallen in June, pass. Just before Kouropatkin's arrival on the scene the important victory of Irjan had been won by 8,000 Russians over 40.000 Bokharans, under their Emir. Kouropatkin participated in all the subsequent hostilities, which culminated in the capture of Samareand. the Emir's capital. A treaty was concluded which left Bokhara politically free, but transferred Sama-eand to Russia. Kouropatkin returned to St. Petersburg with the rank of lieutenant, to continue his military studies in the academy of the general staff. In 1871. as the most brilliant graduate of the academy, h. was sent abroad to study military conditions in various European countries. In France President MacMahon Invited him to take part in th? maneuvers at Metz. Here he displayed1 such strategic ability that he was decorated with the cross of the Legion of Honor, bein the first Russian to win that distinction. He was in Algiers with the French General Laverdeau in 1874. and ther accumulated the materials for his first book, "Algeria,"' which was published in 177. In 1n76 he was back again in Turkestan, assisting General Skobeleff In the conquest of Khokand. This province was annexed by Russia under the new name of Ferghana. Skoleleff was appointed Governor, with Kouropatkin as his chief of staff. War with Turkey broke nut on April 24. 18,,. Skobeleff and Kouropatkin were summoned back to Russia. Constantinople was to be taken. Between Russia and Constantinople lay three great barriers -the River Danube, the Turkish strongholds in Hulgaria and tfcp Ralkan mountains, which form the neutral boundary between Bulgaria and Roumelia. The Russians now pressed forward to the very suburbs of Constantinople. On March 3. 1S78 peace waf concluded at San Stefano. Only the intervention of the other powers, and notably England, had prevented Russia from capturing Constantinople. THE TC R 'OMAN BARRIER. With the proclamation of peace Kouropatkin. now raised to the grade of colonel, returned to St. Petersburg, where he was appointed Asiatic director of the general staff and joint professor of military statistics in the academy. Again troubles broke out in Turkestan. Russia, sti!l smarting at the memory of England's interference in Turkey, conceived the Idea of making those troubles a pretext for conquering the entire territory and thundering at the very oratas of India.

Lord Salisbury pooh-poohed their fears. "The Turcoman barrier," he insisted, "will last during our lifetime, at least. Russia cannot conquer the Turcomans." 80 did not think General Tergoukasoff, commander of the Russian forces in central Asia. Consulted by Czar Alexander II as to how long it would take to reduce the Turcomans to submission, he replied, "Three years." "That is too long." said the Czar. Ha recalled Tergoukasoff and put 8kobeleff in his place. Skobeleff. of course, secured Kouropatkin for his chief of staff. In less than three months these two performed tho feat which Tergoukasoff said would take thre,- years, and Lord Salisbury a lifetime. For his services he was promoted to the rank of major general. Frm 1R8J to 1X90 he was engaged on the general staff and especially in the work of reorganising tha Russian army. On March 27, 1S90. he was appointed Governor of the transcaspian district and commander and completed by peaceful mesne the work which he had begun by conquest. He succeeded in pacifying the Turcoman honles who formerly roamed unchecked over the wilds of central Asia; he introduced modern inventions into the villages and cities, opened schools everywhere, built railroads and manned them with Russian officials. Finally, on Jan. L 1H. he becama minister of war of the Russian Empire. RUSSIANS NOT PRESENT AT QUILL CLUB DINNER Stayed Away Because Americans Are Said to Be Hostile to Them. NEW YORK. Feb. 16.
