Games Tuesday Richmond at Decatur. , Kokomo at Van Wert. . ' Portland at Bluffton. (By Tort.) Decatur 11; Richmond 5. Stung twice in the same spot Decatur again, Sunday, on our own lot, jumped our quivering frame and mangled It almost beyond recognition; seore 11 to r. Nat Fleming attempted to give an imitation of a man making the Commodores eat out of his hand. Net result he had the hand chewed off and in the seventh, after Decatur had spanked out its eleventh hit, Manager Jessup chased him to the flub house and substituted Casey Horn. One run and one hit was made off Horn in the two innings he worked. It was a neck and neck race between the two teams up to the seventh, when the visitors took out their war clubs and by mighty slugging, spanked out such a lead that there was no chance of beating them. Ricnmond played a beantiful fielding game and touched up Oscar Way, the long-drawn-out Decatur slabman. for eight hits, one a beautiful tripple off Morris' bat. but the inability of the usually reliable Fleming to. hold the visitors In check, lost the game for the Quakers. Eight of the eleven runs scored by Decatur were of the earned variety. We had o depend upon the mistakes of the Commodores for tallies. Looked Good in Fifth. Decatur took the lead in the second by pounding in two runs. Wallace and Laxon singled and came home on Way's beautiful double. In the fourth Richmond made one run. Morris lacing out a three bagger which would have rolled out the main gate had it not been for the rough ground, then tripping across the pan on Wlltermood's single. In the fifth the Quakers copped two runs and the game looked to be ours. With one Jown Ritter singled, stole second and counted when Laxon dropped Cameron's fly to right. Cameron came in on a wild pitch by Way and then Weaver was given his base on balls. Weaver was advanced to second on Morris' out at first and scored on a single by Jessup. The manager was nailed in an attempt to steal second. Lead Snatched Away. The following inning Decatur snatched away our lead, making three runs on two hits and two bases on balls. Cuhen. first up, drew his base. Pierce and Burns were then retired. Weber got a Texas leaguer and Wallace was presented with transportation to first. Manager - Behringer then made a wise move. lie took Laxon out of the game and substituted the alleged crippled Witham. He may be crippled, but he did not act like a pair of crutches. The first thing this careless Mr. Witham did wa3 to lace out a two base hit, counting the three lads on the bags. Winger ended the misery by popping to Morris. Its discouraging to write what happened to us in the seventh, but here goes: Way started off with a single. Behringer singled. Cullen sacrificed, then in turn came singles by Pierce, Burns Wallace and Witham. while the base runners wore a pathway through the pan. After Witham had brought In the fifth run with his bingle the crowd began to howl for Horn and Manager Jessup took fandom's advice. Horn stopped the merry-go-round by retiring Winger. Our fifth run came in the eighth. Morris getting a life on Pierce's muff and scoring on Jessup's long out to Burns. The score:

WONDERLANDS TOOK GAME FROM GRAYS Contest at Cambridge City , Sunday Afternoon Was In Batting.

"SHIVER" NOT EFFECTIVE. PLAYING OF BOTH TEAMS WAS "PUNK" AND A SURPRISE TO THE AUDIENCE OF EIGHT HUNDRED. Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. 12. The ! Wonderlands handed out a defeat to the crack Grays Sunday afternoon at the latter's new park on Capital hill before a crowd estimated at 8X. Both teams played "punk" ball, each trying to out do the other in making errors ana lai-neaaea piajs. iiie hpeciators were given an opportunity to wit ness some nice "sticking," as the game wa3 a veritable "swat-fest." Base hits rained about the outfield like hail stones in a hail storm. The swatters were not content with pounding out mere base hits, but lambasted the itors knot-King the ball over the left field fence for three sacks. Boyle put it over on a bounce in the fourth and on a fly in the ninth, this hit making the other leading swatters. The visitors used two south paws on the Grays, something they were unused to. However, they demonstrated clearly that they could hit that kind the worst lambasting he has yet had on the Cambridge City, lots. Eddy Ash, the one-armed player with the visitors, really showed up as being the best ball player in tne 101. lie sua into iirsr. on an lnllelcl tap in tne nrst inning in a manner luai woum nave put trie American league champion, George Mone, to sname. lie sioie a Dase anu fielded his position In left In a very exceptional manner, considering his great iiauuiidp.

BULL FIELDSTORIES Peculiar Incidents Not Covered by the Rules.

PUZZLES FOR THE UMPIRE. Treadway's Fowl Hit That Struck Fair, but Was Declared Foul When Tommy Tucker Saw Snakes A Batted Ball That Never Came Back. Baseball rules are supposed to cover every possible emergency that may arise daring a game, yet a dozen times a week in some nook or corner of the world there arises a situation over which there are certain to be bitter disputes and which the umpire alone may judge. Even in the big leagues these things occur. One did on the old Eastern park grounds at Brooklyn In a game between Philadelphia and the Ferainbulators. The decision of the umpire was upheld by President Nick Young, although it still Is open to dispute. It happened that in the seventh inning, with two men on bases. Treadway hit a line drive down the left field line. The ball beyond doubt was going foul, for it was curving toward the foul line rapidly. Gaffney, who was umpiring the game, was standing at the plate squinting down the line, his eye following the ball. Suddenly a flight of pigeons swept along. The ball struck one of the pigeons, knocking it to the earth, and tho ball Itself swerved from its course and struck the ground a foot inside tho foul line. The Brooklyn runners raced around the bases, but Gaffney waved them back and declared the hit foul. fuilted in Brooklyn protesting tDe came, but T7nel N'lrk unheld finfTnev. Jiggers Donahue always had a ter J ror of all sorts of snakes, toads and i Lugs, and this terror once nearly lost Chicago a victory over Washington. Joe Cantillon knew of this aversion, and when the Senators opened in Chicago Cantillon spent the early afternoon digging fishing worms, grubs and the like, and he arrived at the park with a couple of pans filled with them. Joe waited several innings, and then, with one of the Senators on first, he began sprinkling worms around the sack. Jiggers did not notice it for a minute, and, indeed, not until the ashington player ran off the bag to draw the throw. 'The ball came low, . , anu jusi ueiore lie sioopeu 10 caicu ' it Jiggers saw the ground covered with worms. He let out a yell and jumped a foot in the air. He managed to block the ball, however, and sent In a hurry-up call for John to sweep the ground around the base. All through the game Cantillon and his men sprinkled worms and bug3 around Jiggers and kept him in a etate of terror, but with the aid of the broom he managed to frustrate his tormentors and escape without an error, and the following daijr he appealed to the umpire to make the Senators quit. Tommy Tucker, however, was not so lucky as Jiggers. He lost a game for Washington to Chicago once and started a battle all because of a trick Bill Dahlen and BUI Everett put up on him. Tom uever did like snakes. Indeed, he held them in abhorrence, and In some way Dahlen discovered, this. Washington was to play Chicago that afternoon, and during the morning practice on the west side grounds Dahlen and Everett discovered a small gartcrsnake and treasured it up. Along in the fourth Inning Everett cracked out a hit, and as soon as he landed on first base Dahlen, ignoring his usual custom, ran out to coach, and a moment later he slipped the harmless little reptile to Everett, who dropped it into Tucker's hip pockeL Tommy discovered the snake just as the pitcher was delivering the ball, and, with a yelp, he deserted first base. The shortstop gathered up the ball on the run and started to throw to second, but was too late and threw toward first. Tommy was twenty feet off the base, jumping up and down and hunting for something with which to kill that snake, antl the ball went to the stands, and Chicago scored four runs in the round. Tucker protested wildly, but the umpire couldn't find anything about snakes in the rule book and let it go at that. But possibly the hardest decision an umpire ever tackled fell to the lot of Jack Stratton, who was umpiring a game between the Dallas (O.) team and the club from Sycamore Valley J years ago. The teams were playing down at Lynn's bottom at Sycamore Valley, and the score was 13 to 12, or some thing like that, in favor of Dallas In the ninth inning, with two out and the bases filled. At any rate,' what ever the score was. Sycamore Valley needed three runs to tie and four to win, and it happened that Butch Carpenter, one of the weakest hitters on the team, was at bat. One strike had been called when Butch hit the ball. Where that ball went no one knows to this day. AH the players were running. They ttw the ball pitched and saw It hit. but just as the bat hit the ball the boiler at Hick's sawmill, about 200 yards away, exploded. About five minutes later, when the smoke and steam cleared away, the base runners remembered and ran around to the plate. The real argument started about half an hour later, when everybody had visited the wreck. Sycamore Valley clalmfl the victory, declaring that four runs had scored, and Jack Stratton allowed their claim. Minneapolis Tribune. FACES A SERIOUS CHARGE. Pitcher Bales Deserts His Hartford City.

HITS WITH GOOD EFFECT. Cambridge City, Ind., Aug. 12. The Wonderland ball team of Indianapolis, sprung a sensation on the fans Sunday in the form of a one armed balFtosser. Eddy Ash, playing left for the Won derlands, a lad of about 19 years, has but one arm. Young Ash met with an accident in Washington while he was yet a mere lad. In attempting to cross the railroad track the boy had his arm crushed off just above the elbow ioung Ash as a llelder, puts up as good a game as any fielder yet seen nere. At tne bat he uses his one arm to a far better advantage than most amateur two armed batters. In his game yesterday he got a neat sin gle to left and on two other occasions whanged out long flies. The crowd enjoyed his work immensely and gave him the glad hand every time he came to the plate and much fun was secured by the "rooters," who insisted that the players carrying an extra arm go out and chop off one so that they could become ball players.

There was quite a large crowd present. The feature of the game was the pitching of Tibbetts for Centerville. This twirler has pitched seven victories for Centerville, his victims ' being the Cambridge City Greys, Campbellstown, Spiceland, Greensfork. Richmond Ramblers. Richmond Beallvlews and Gettysburg. Gould, for Centerville, also played a fast game. He made two two baggers. Moulton secured a double and played nicely In the field.

Richmond goes to Decatur Tuesday for a three game series with the Commodores. If the Quakers meet the same fate there as they did here against the same team, look for a slide down the ladder. Sunday's game was a most Interesting one to the big crowd. The fans like good, clean hitting and they saw plenty of it. The only trouble was that the visitors made most of the hits. The fielding was also very clean and fast. Minzler pulled off a spectacular play which saved one and probably two runs. Jessup made a wild heave over first. Minzler rushed back of Cameron and speared the ball on the fly. Rit ter pulled off some very pretty fielding, taking five chances perfectly. Casey Horn was given the glad, hand when he stepped into the box. The big fellow has not been doing much work for several days past and as a result, he was quite wild, issuing two passes and hitting a batsman in the two Innings he worked. It was a rare sight to see the cool and reliable Fleming get such a trouncing as Decatur meted out to him Sunday. Nearly all of his offerings were hit square on the nose. Decatur early in the game nagged at Umpire Hicks continually, claiming that he was giving all Kie close decis ions to Richmond. Finally one of the Decatur players called him a bad name. Hicks walked over to the bench where the player sat and gave him a good calling, which served its purpose. Behringer played a Trilliant game at second for the visitors, taking thirteen chances without a wobble. The big fellow is a splendid coacher, a good hitter, and valuable to any team.

HUMORS OF WAR." A Federal Lieutenant Who W11 Were Than Surprised. During the civil war the commander t a marching detuchmeut looked alone his line, scowled at its irregularity, then shouted uloud: "Close up! Close up, you fellows! Why, if tho enemy were t fire on us now they couldn't hit one of you." Another commander, while a battle was in progress, came upon a etragjjkr who was runninjr sway, with tours streaming down his cheeks. "My man, dont be a baby!" the general remouDtrated. thinking to shame the renegade, "Boo-hoo! Wlsht I was a baby, and a gal baby at that," was the answer that showed him the caso was hopeless. That is lews humanly amusing than the answer of a guileless lieutenant who with half a company had been captured and paroled by the ubiquitous . John Morgan. Upon reaching Federal territory the lieuteuant made haste to report to the nearest post commander, who, after duly welcoming th newcomer, said: "Tell me bow all this happened'. Were you surprised?" "Surprised! A heap worse'n that. I tell you, I was plum astonished to see them gray fellers. I was, for a fact, colonel," the lieuteuant answered, with the air of one who fully covers tho case. Sucees Mcfaxine. BONANZA POKER. A Game That Staggered Haughty Commercial Traveler. Toker, say those who can remember ' back to the tiir.es of the old west, has seen its best days. No longer are such, , royal battles waged over the green cloth as when the newly fledged mining millionaires met with money to burn and with plenty of sporting spirit to burn it. "It was in tho famous Silver Bovr club at Helena, Mont, that they usel to play big poker," says a man who remembers. "At the- game one night sat Marcus Daly, Senator Hearst and J. B. IJaggln when there burst In a radiant New York drummer who had a two weeks' card to the Institution. He marched up to the players and politely asked If he might take a hand. "'Why, yes; come right In,' said Daly. "The drummer threw a hundred dollar note on the table! 'Let me bavo chips for that he said-gravely. "He went to hang u1 his coat and hat. When ho returned the bill Btlll lay on the table. "'What's the matter, gentlemen? the traveling man haughtily Inquired. "Ain't my money good?' "'Why, yes, to be sure, said. Daly. 'Hearst, g'ive the gentleman one wbita chip.'" Scrap Book. Schopenhauer on Hypocrisy. Oh, for some 'Asmodeus of morality to make not only roofs and walls transparent to his favorites, but also to lift the veil of disttimulation, fraud, hypocrisy, pretense, falsehood and deception, which is spread over a!l things, to show how little true honesty there Is in tba world and h jw often, even where It la least to be expected, behind all the exterior outwork of virtue, secretly and in the Innermost recesses, unrighteousness sits at the helm! It is Just on this account that so many men of the better kiud have four footed friends, for, to be sure, how is a man to get relief from the endless dissimulation, falsity and malice of mankind if there wero no dogs into wbone honest faces be cm look without distrust? It Blew.
