The Hoosiers played fast ball In the opening game of the series with Buffalo, yesterday, and the Bisons were not In the game at any stage. Wretched fielding

early put them on the waiting Hat.

The Hoosiers gave a pretty exhibition of fielding. Allen. Stewart and Hickey made stops and throws which caused the Buffalo player* to turn green with envy- Johnny White was the chief Buffalo offender. He discouraged Kearns early in the game by dropping three easy fly balls. Hall, at short, also played with greasy fingers and made two costly fumbles. Dlggtns and

Garry were the other offender*.

“Topay” Hartzell wrenched his ankle In the fourth inning and was forced to retire from the game. The accident may lay him up for several days. Flynn succeeded

him !r. left field.

The Hoosiers. for the first time In three weeks, showed a disposition to hit the ball. Heydon did not overlook an opportunity to make a hit, while Hickey accepted three out of five chances to land safely. They contributed much to the run

column.

White presented to Indianapolis a run In the first Inning, and Kearns was disgusted. In the . third the Hoosiers went after the Canadian pitcher on their own account and batted out four runs. He quit the game, and Gray took his place. The former terror had lost his cunning, and thu Hoosiers batted him almost at wtlL The

Invaded Brooklyn, and captured the first game from Hanlon's men. They made Ilfs miserable for Me James In the first four innings, and forced him to retire. Taorlor pitched lucky ball, and staved off a ruah in the losing lnn:ugs. The Quakers defeated the Pirates In an exciting ten-inning corteal. It was not until the eighth Inrlng that the Quakers allowed any disposition to get Into the game, but one of their old-t'.me batting rallies enabled them to tie the score in that Inning, and drive Leever to the bench. They qot the winning run In tbe tenth. Loulsvfile lost a close game to New York. Both teams played fast ball, but did little with the stick. Tho Champions fattened their batting overages yesterday at the expense ot Bates, while the Exiles could not take any great liberties with either Bailey’s or Hickman's delivery. Baltimore won a hotly-contested game from St. Louie. Both Sudhoff and Howell w.-re battel hard, but the latter was more fortunate In his support. Washington scored an unexpected victory over Chicago, and with the score tied

the umpires to freese Wabash out of ths league, and that for this reason ths Infants have been robbed right and left. They even go so far ss to say that a hotel clerk, who suddenly disappeared from Terre Haute, taking with him among other things 1128 and a gold watch belonging to Manager Poor, was la the conspiracy. The Illinois clubs object to the long Jump to Wabash, and want another city In the circuit. SEARCHLIGHT THE STAR. He Paced Three Fastest Heats Ever

Diven In Canada.

Searchlight was the star performer at the Grand Circuit races at Buffalo yesterday. In the 2:04 pace he lowered the Ft. Erie track record and paced the three fastest heats ever driven in Canada. The race was as easy for him as were his victories In Detroit, Cleveland and Columbus. He won in straight heats, going the

last one in 2:08H.

Royal Baron was beaten In the 2:24 trot by Owyhee, after an exciting struggle. Each horse won two heats. In the fifth Royal Baron broke and ran under the wire in second place. The talent lost heav-

Wabash tried an assortment of pitchers yesterday against Terre Haute, but could not stop the Brewers until they had the game well in hand. The game was too one-sided to be Interesting. Danville played headier ball than Crawfordsvllle and won an Interesting game. Hits and errors were even, but the leaders showed better judgment on the bases.

Baseball Notes.

The series with Buffalo fpr the season

Is now tied.

ll'Lefty" Houta will make his first appearance with the Saints to-day. Manager Comiskey thinks well of the Texas League

wonder,

Waddell has been suspended by President Loftus. This does rtot worry the erratic pitcher, as he suspended himself ten

days ago.

The Reds are playing a strong game just now. Yesterday they won their eleventh consecutive victory. They began their winning streak while Tommy

»s in chat

Manager Ewing.

Manager Shannon has dug up three new players—McKIbbet, of Hamilton. Ontario, and Cockman and Fertsch, of Reading. Cockman played a brief engagement in Indianapolis three years ago. but was not strong enough to hold down

short field.

The Cowboys will be rounded up today, and Manager Manning will cut out his marketable material. Much of it will simply be turned adrift. The Eastern Importations will join the club and have a chance to get accustomed to their new surroundings before going to Kansas

City.

Crawford, the fast outfielder with the Grand Rapids club, has created a stir since he jolted the Western League. This Is his first season as a professional ball player, and he has not been with the Rabbits more than a month, yet five National League clubs are gngllng for his services

James McAleer. formerly center fielder of the Cleveland club, has bought the franchise of the Youngstown team, in the Interstate League, ana took charge of the chib yesterday. McAleer quit the ball field last season. He felt that he had reached hi* limit as a player, and refused to be considered a “has been" player. Billy Dammann ts still waiting for orders. He docs not know just what will be done with him, but a* long as he continues to draw a salary from the Cincinnati club he 1* not worrying. He has not heard from Manager Ewing or President Brueh, and says he will stay here until he is notified what to do. The final Western trip of the Hoosiers promises to be almost as exciting as the one last season. While there is no possibility of the pennant race being decided on that trip, they can either moke a victory In the end seem certain or place themselves In a position where they will have to fight out every game on their re-

turn home.

Manager Manning and his new collection of ball players passed through Chicago yesterday. In addition to taking *the pick of the WUkeebarre club, he has signed Schaub and Schmidt, of the Lancaster club. Schaub Is an Indianapolis boy, and has been playing In the Atlantic League for several seasons. He has developed into a crack third-baseman, Buffalo correspondents say that Indianapolis ha* the Western League pennant for IMS clinched. Tbe cranks In Indianapolis have been under the impres-

rha

a pel .

*ion for some time that the only chance the Hoosiers have of losing la to run Into a series of accidents. In that respect the team has been unfortunate since starting on the Eastern trip. Kahoe was Injured in Grand Rapids, and Hart-,

sell hurt in Buffalo yesterday.

Wabash cranks are saying that there ts a systematic attempt on the part of the other teams in the L-L League and

Not to Tow the Challenger. London. August 9.-Mr. Charles Russell, the representative of Sir Thomas Llpton, told a reporter cf the Associated Press to-day that the skippers of the cup challenger Shamrock and the steam vacht Erin, now on their way to New YoDt, hold written Instructions from Sir Thornes Liptcn that under no circumstance* Is the challenger to be towed except in accordance with the special agreement with ,he New York Lacht Club, namely, when the breexe is Insufficient for the Shamrock to proceed under her own sail.

He has brought together a great collection of fighters. George Siler has been selected as the referee for the Palmer-McGovern contest, which takes place September L He will also referee the fight in Dubuque the last week in August. Oscar Gardner is getting ready for a lively campaign in the ring. He says that he will not fight outside his own clas* this season, but expects to take on every man that will meet him at 126 pounds or under. Jake KilraJn, the veteran prise-fighter, contemplates again putting on the gloves The life of a saloon-keeper in Baltimore is too slow ,for him, and he thinks that, if such men as Charley Mitchell and Peter Jackson can get on matches there Is some hope for him. "Pedler” Palmer, who arrived in New York last Saturday, Is attracting much attention. He has resumed training for his fight with Terry McGovern, which takes place in the arena of the Westchester Athletic Club September L Pictures will be taken of the contest. General Sporttnir New*.

George Ramford, an Austrian Jockey, has come to America and will ride at Morris Park In the fall meeting. He was formerly the lightweight jockey In Archduke Otto s stable, and Is considered one of the best riders of his weight in Austria. The second seriea of races to determine the Canadian cup defender were sailed off Toronto yesterday,- and the sailing committee is now as much In the dark as to the selection of the boat as ever. The Beaver has shown the bes^ form, but Is slow In sailing to windward. The choice lies between the Beaver, Mlnota and Toronto. The first day's cruise of the New York Yacht Club, yesterday, was a success. The fleet sailed over a thirty-mile course. The chief Interest was the work of the Columbia and the new cup defender easily outsailed all the other boats In her class. She beat tho Defender by 4 minutes and 19 seconds, and the Vigilant by 54 minutes and 3 seconds. Eddie Bald has decided to give up bicycle racing, and will return to England with Tod Sloan next week. Bald has not been in fit condition this season, though he has won a number of races.-. He left New York for his home In Buffalo yesterday to arrange his affairs, and said that he expected to be gone several months. He will follow the 4 horses abroad under Sloan’s direction. The “world’s championship races'* at Montreal begin to-day. The attendance bos fallen away below expectations, and the promoters of the meet are Inclined to f lame the representatives of the International Cyclists' Union for the poor showing. They say if the crack riders from the United States had been permitted to enter there would have been much more interest In the races. '‘Major” Taylor Is touted as a sure winner in all the shortdistance races. May be a Record-Breaker. The run of “Humpty Dumpty" at the Park Theater promises to be a record-breaker. Two Immense houses saw the pantomime yesterday, and the sale for the rest of the week Is large.

This organtxation will be at the Park next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, followed the last half of the week by "Uncle Tom’* Cabin." At the Church Door.

OUT OF PRISON. The Modern Improvement* Appear Strange to Alexander Fleetwood. "It’s been a long time, a long time,” said Alexander Fleetwood, who has been In prison under life sentence since he was fourteen years old, and who. now, at forty, is a free man, "but I’ll tell you I’m mighty glad now." Fleetwood was paroled Saturday by the Governor, who requested him to call at his office as soon as he arrived in this city. He came yester-

day afternoon.

He looks ten years older than he really Is. He la frail of body, and hla hair Is sprinkled with gray. He is partially deaf, and his voice has a dead, hollow sound In spite of his gray hair, his talk is almost as simple as that of a child. He talks little, and for the most part in answer to questions. He ga*es at the Inquirer closely and eagerly listens to what is asked. His laugh—when he does laugh—Ls more

pathetic than his frown.

Apparently he knows little of the world as It Is to-day, and does not realize the changes twenty-six years have made. He looked at the telephone with wonder and inquired when the Governor’s secretary hung up the receiver, after trying to call Fleetwood’s slater, "how long It would take to get an answer back.” Many things were new to him. but most of the time he looked down at his new. bulgy prison suit, with its thick-creased trousers and at his heavy prison shoes and handled his hat—the first one he has had in more than a quarter of a century—un-

tasily.

"Things seem awful strange to me,” he said, with a faint smile, "and I expect they will seem stranger when I see more. I expect I’ll seem strange to people, too,” he added, with an attempt at a joke, "for I don’t know one tree from another, and flowers and herbs I don’t

know, either.”

“It’s all over now. Governor.” Fleetwood said, “but, as God lives, I am innocent. I remember just as well the day when Hines was killed. I was home cub, ting staves. Then I remember they come and took me. and at the trial I remember hearing the Judge tell the lawyer not to take them hearsays. I didn’t know what he meant, but I do now. Then I was

sent up.”

In all his prison life Fleetwood has not had a mark placed against him for violation of the rules. Until a few years ago he made no attempt for parole. He has employed no attorney, and the efforts for his parole have all been made by his

sister.

Governor Mount left the meeting of the Tax Board to go over to his office and receive Fleetwood. He gave him good advice, telling him that he would have to report to the Governor's office every six months, and that he would have to maintain a good character. If he did not do that he would be sent back, and then he wobld never be free again. At this Fleetwood shut his lips tightly. "You won't have any trouble with me about that,” he said. “I’ve had enough, and I’m going to try to do right what little of my life is left. 1 ought to be strong and hearty now. but I expect I look older than you. Governor.” , Fleetwood was taken to his sister s home by a messenger boy. He will remain here for a time. He is anxious to leave the city and go to work on a farm. THE PASSING SHOW. He Could Not Go to Sleep. ‘T Just could not go to sleep," said the thinning man. ”1 had bad a hard day, and the night was hot and the baby was cross. I was tired when I went to bed. but soon became rested and wakctul. The dog In the big sitting-room wa* snoring; the children and my wife were asleep, and I was lonesome. Finally, after tossing about fqr two hours I began to count sheep as they jumped the fence. This was of no avail, and I began to plan a new house. When I reached the attic, of course. I had to stop, and was as wide aweke as ever. "Finally, I was struck with a new Idea. I would run a boy down the street, and when I became tired enough to fall from exhaustion, I would drop off Into a gentle dcre, such aa only the righteous enjoy. Well, I scared up the boy. I gave him about fifty feet start from Washington and Pennsylvania streets. The boy started up Pennsylvania street, and eeemed to gain on me. I oiled up, however, and, by the time he reached the Blind Institute, I was close on his heels‘Bui I was not sleepy. I was getting excited. The boy seemed to be a ’ringer,’ and I began to get mad. I thought somebody had put In a professional against me. The £og and the children snored on. I could not understand why they would bleep while there was 1.0 much excitement going on. But 1 had to keep after the boy. He led me up Penneylvania street clear to Sixteenth. and then started east. I followed to the Monon tracks, and lost him behini some freight cars. He dodged out, and stalled toward the creek, never missing a stroke. My tongue was hanging out, although I we* in bed and flat or. my back. I could not lose the boy. ard he could not

lose me.

"At Howland's station the boy was struck by a train and cut in two. I was about to run forward and try to weld the pieces when I wa* again reminded by the snore of the dog that I was in bed. I was covered with perspiration and never more wide awake in my. life. I was tired but not sleepy. I was glad It was not a real boy that had been cut up. but I was sorry that I had been such a fool as to think that a man could sleep and run a foot race at the same time. “When the sun peeped through the window I fell asleep. I shall run no more boys and count no more sheep. Now when I want to got to sleep I Just get up and plan a Philippine campaign and employ my misfortune to advantage.” Caught a Kissing Bag. Said Mrs. Man to her husband: "A horrid kissing bug bit me on the shoulder last night when I was asleep. It pained so that I woke up.” "How do you know It was a kissing

the lip."

Mrs. K no wall

sail she was sure It was a kissing bug. It was a little red flat bug.”
