The contest abounded tn sen sat Iona! plays, good, bad and Indifferent, and the enthusiasm was high until the last Hoosier had been retired In the ninth inning. Indianapolis lost the game. Newton and McGill were the opposing pitchers, and the Hoosier twirier had a shad* the best of It, but was handicapped by two errors which came at the wrong time. The Rabbits began scoring in the first Inning. Pickering hit safely, stole second and went to third on an out. He would have been caught at the plate, but Kahoe muffed the throw, and the run counted. McFarland helped the Rabbits to a run In the second by dropping Tebeau’s fly. which enabled the manager to reach second, and a choice and a long fly helped him the- reet of the way round. In the third the lead was Increased. Hickey was at fault, and Pickering reached first. Genlns sent him to third with a two-bagger, and Newton made a wild pitch, which permitted both men to

•core.

The Hooaiers opened on McGill In the second inning, and three hits resulted In one run. In the third, hits by Ilartzell and Mots and a choice gave them another. In the fourth Hickey hit safely, stole second and crossed the plate while Bterbauer was playing with Newton's drive

to second.

Grand Rapids opened a gap in the seventh Inning, and McGill did much to win his own game. Buelow opened with a two-bagger, and scored on McGill's single. The Hooelers managed to get one man home In the ninth, but "e f e stJU on*. shy of a tie. Kahoe wrenched his knee and was forced to retire, Heydon taking

his place. The score :

Saturday’s Game. Lack was with the Hosiers in the game Saturday against the Rabbits. For six Innings “Bumpua" Jones had the Hoosters at hla mercy. Meanwhile his team mates ■were taking liberties with Kellum. Careful fielding held the score down, but at the end of the sixth Inning the game seemed hopelessly lost. Grand Rapids had a lead of four runs and prospects of more. There was a fatnt promise In the seventh that the tide might turn In the Hooaiers' favor. Hickey received a base on balls and Heydon made the first hit for IndianapolisKellum struck out„ but Hogrlever singled, •coring Hickey and Heydon perched on third. He crossed the plate on H&rtsell's •low hit to the Infield. In the eighth Inning, with one out, Allen walked. Stewart got »a life on Genln s error, as did Allen. Hickey beat out a drive down the third base line. Then came Heydon. It was a great opportunity and he accepted it by driving the ball against the left field fence, sending three runs over the plate and landing on third base. Kahoe batted for Kellum. and hit to third, Heydon scoring and the Hoosters were in the lead. The Babbitts were dated by the sudden spurt of the Hoosters and failed to make an impression on Scott's delivery In the ninth. After a brief rest the second game was begun with Dammann and Cross as the pitchers. When the big black clouds which had been rolling up from the northwest took a hand In the contest In the second

Hartzell Is an old Grand Rapids favorite. He was warmlv greeted when he went to bat in the Hret Inning yesterday.' Frank Foreman did not leave with the team Saturday' night. He went to Buffalo to-day, and will join the club therp tomorrow. Kahoc's injury will probably keep nlm out of the gam® for several days. Heydon Is catching In excellent form, however, and the club will not be weakened. "Dusty'' Miller has signed with St. Louis, and will finish the season with the Perfectos. He received offers from both the Brooklyn and New York clubs. “Lefty” Houts has been farmed to St. Paul by the Cincinnati club, and left today for that city. Pitcher Coleman, formerly with St. Louis, will also become a

Saint.

Billy Phyle got another chance to show what he could do tn the box for Chicago yesterday, and threw' the game away. He has been Indifferent all season, and Mannger Burns wHl probably give him his ten days’ notice. There will be a big hole left in the Western League teams after the close of the drafting season this fall Already a half dozen players have been sold, and agents for National League clubs are "sizing up" all the possible material In the country. Manager Jimmy Manning, of Kansas City, has sorted over his Wilkesbarre lot of players, and sent pitchers Jamison and Patten, catcher Gonalng, second-baseman Burns, short-stop Clymer and outfielder Halligarx to join the Cowboys. The other players were turned adrift. The Hooslers open the final series In Buffalo to-morrow. The latter part of the week they wiil wind up the season with Grand Rapids, and go from there to Detroit for the final brusi with the Tigers. Thev will return to Indianapolis on the 16th for two games with Detrot', and th.*n start on the final West cm trip. The persuasive powers of both Manager Allen and President Golt were turned loos* on Ace Stewart after the game Saturday and the crack second-baseman finally decided that It would look bad At him to desert the club just as It is entering the stretch in the championship race and consented to flnlsn the season with the team. Billy Dammann has been released by the Indianapolis club. President Qolt found his pitching staff too large, anc' the men were not getting enough work to keen them at their bfst. Dammann pitched fairly good ball while here, but It was not up to his standard of two years ago. and he seemed to have harder luck In the box than the other men. He still belongs to Cincinnati, but may be sold to Louhvllle. Treasurer Vonderhorst, of Brooklyn, thought it would do the game great damage in the East for him to steal Demontrevtlle and Nops from the Baltimore club and unload Jennings on the Orioles. Manager Hanlon, of the Brooklyn club, sided with McGraw, and after a heated discussion Vonderhorst was forced to give in. It Is said that he did so with bad grace, and that there is some friction between him and Hanlon over the affair. Donohue leads all the National League pitchers this season. He has won thirteen and lost two games. Hughes, of Brooklyn. Is second, with seventeen victories and four defeats: Sparks, of Pittsburg, Is third, with eight wins and two loses; Callahan. of Chicago, fourth, with .sixteen victories and five defeats, and “Noodles Hahn, of Cincinnati, is fifth, with a record of thirteen winning games and five defeats. This is essentially a year for young pitchers. The veterans—Nichols. Young, Hawley, Breltensteln. Griffith. Mercer. Kennedy, Cunningham and Taylor—have not been showing their last season's form. General Sporting; News. Sunland Bell reduced the wagon record at Cleveland Saturday to 2:10 flat. The record was broken in Philadelphia last

week.

WHEN ON THE STREET CARS.

... wlnthlrty-

V hen you want to go down-town, run out In the middle of the street, signal the metorman a square away; walk back to the sidewalk and calmly await the arrival of the car. Stay where you are until the car stops. It might run over you If you were to venture a few Inches nearer. It does not matter If the street car men are In a hurry: you are not; and the conductor and motorman need a little rest, anyway. Take your own time in choosing a seat. It Is a good plate to walk the entire length of the car and Inspect each seal from the outside, and Its occupants, before making a choice. The enforced watt teaches the conductor patience (especially If he Is behind time;, and patience, you know, is virtue. Re deliberate In paying your fare. It Is well to become so absorbed In the enjoyment of the scenery along the line that the conductor has to remind you of the matter. Sometimes. If you can continue to Ik* absent-minded enough, he may miss you altogether. If you have tickets, count them very carefully; instances have been known where two have been given by mistake. The loss, when discovered, makes you feel worse than to pay a lost bet at electloq time would, besides you feel morally certain the conductor Is a thief. A disturbed mental condition fosters dyspepsia and other ailments. Avoid such mistakes In future for your good health’s sake. If you must pay cash fare always make tt a point to give the conductor a bill. It diverts his mind to Jump off and get it changed. If you are with a friend, get Into an interesting conversation, forget when you wish to leave the car. until you are at the very street; Jump up, wave your hat; gesticulate frantically; poke your umbrella In your neighbor's ribs; then, when the car carries you to the next street, get mad; very mad; take the conductor's number and threaten to report him. It makes things more lively. If you take your little boy with you, be sure he wears a big sailor hat, with no rubber to keep it on. When a playful breeze gently lifts the hat and wafts It two squares away, just keep your seat. It Is the conductor's business to run after It, and you know It; besides, a little real exercise will do him good. His travels up and down the running-board are mere child's play. Instruct your children as to their ages when you take them car-riding. It often saves money, "and money saved la money earned.” When you go to market, bear well In mind the street cars are excellent free delivery wagons, and the conductors the most obliging of transfer men. When you go visiting and take the whole family, twins and the pug Included, look savage if the conductor does not fly to help you and your numerous progeny off and on the car. What If he has already lifted four hundred and fifty children that day? He ought to get used to it. If you see a large placard on the car, which reads. "Falrvlew Park.” be sure and ask the conductor or motorman if it is a Falrview car. It Is a real pleasure to

him to Inform the blind and Ignorant. The sign was Intended for Intelligent people only. Jr you see a car on which the sign reads “North Indianapolis." ask the conductor if it goes to the stock yards. He will explain things to your entire satisfaction. Fold your transfer tickets to the etnah<st possible size, and stow them snugly away In the northwest corner of your pocketbook. It gives the conductor a chance to flirt a little while you are looking for them. Smoke, chew gun, make "dates.'' talk about your domestic troubles, and tell racy stories In an audible tone of voice. The conductor may tell his wife when h* gets home, so she can laugh, too. Above all, keep cool, keep calm. Take your own time to do things. Damn the conductor and motorman as much as you like. It is your right. What If they haven t had a bite to eat all day. you can't digest their food for them. What If they haven't had ten minutes’ conversation with their wives for a month; It Is none of your concern. What If they do come home so dead tired they are asleep before fairly In bed? In their dreams the cars are constructed of the most lovely Vienna bread, and seated with delicious chocolate cakes; the old register winks at them from a pan of Boston baked beans, while the bell rope stretehei out in one long alluring line of sausage*. The trolley pole rises majestically aloft a solid olllar of masted chicken, while the trolley rope dangles down a heavenly dream of ham sandwiches; the figures on the trip sheets change magically Into bills of fare, presenting an endless variety from which to choose. They glory In the anticipation of the coming feast, and are supremely happy for a time, at least. Step softly, let them rest, even If they are “only street-car men," poor devils! Ht* Right. {Puck.] The beautiful girl turned upon her fatner almost savagely. "By what right." she hissed, “do you demand a share of my alimony*" "You got the disposition you were divorced for from me!" exclaimed the old man, with’feeling "Everybody says so!”

KIDNEY TROUBLE-

THe Most Prevalent. Dangerous and Decent.ve Disease.

Thousand* Have it and Don’t Know It. Pains and aches come from excess of uric acid In the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart Is over-working to pump the thick, kidney-poisoned blood through the veins and arteries. Soreness or uncomfortable feeling in the back indicates kidney trouble of no small importance. The passing of scanty or profuse quantities of urine Is a warning of kidney trouble. If you wart to feel well you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The famous new discovery. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases after all other efforts have failed. Sold on Its merits by all druggists in fifty-cent and one dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free by mall to any address. Also a book telling all about Swamp-Root and Its wonderful cures. When writing, address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y., and mention that you read this generous offer in The Indianapolis News.
