Whatever chance we had of winning that pennant rag was mangled beyond the recognition of the most ardent bug Thursday afternoon. The mangling was performed by Mr. Morris collection of trpined Kokomo Wildcats. At the close of the game the email band of faUhful wended supperward, sad and disheartened. Up to

the eighth Inning it locked as though each one of these faithful would at the close of the game- rush to his fireside circle and be' the life of the family. As it was they were probably sharp with the children and sassy to mother. The game left a sour taste in our mouths. It was handed to Kokomo on a gold platfer surrounded with watercress. Up- to the eighth the locals led the visitors by a score of 3 to 2, thanks to excellent pitching on the part of young Mr. Cole. Then came the eighth and brought with It generous impulses to Messrs. RUter, Fisher and Hicks. After Mr. Ritter had allowed the score to be tied by failing to throw Stout out at the plate on a Texas league hit by Kik, the human gnat, Mr.- Fisher was overcome by his kindly emotions and hurled the game into the first base bleachers. The game while enroute to this section of the yard might have been stopped by liicks hart he .streached himself a few inches. Hicks became sun dazzled, however and allowed the contest to travel to its journey's end without interruption. While the ball nestled In the bleachers the Human Gnat Tomped over the pan with the winning tally. Alt in One Fed Swoop.

The heart breaking part of Fisher's eruption was the fact that two men were down at the time? and that after te had fielded the ball standing on the bag all he would have had to do to catch Kik was to reach out and tab Mm. Possibly Tack3 was unable to see the Human Gnat it is at least charity to say set for he hurled the ball, the game and the hopes of the faithful into the bleachers all in one fell swoop. In the klckoff Kokomo made two runs. The locals camis back with one run, the result of a fielder's choice for Jessup and a scorching two bagger for Weaver, who batted like a fiend throughout the game. In the third the locals tied the score. Jessup doubled to center and counted on Weaver's beautiful single to right. In the sixth the local:, took the lead thanks to the much in evidence Wearer, who got to first by beating out a beautiful bunt. Weaver stole second, .went to third on a passed ball and 'counted on Carlin's out at first. In the eighth the Wildcats accepted our generous offer of the game. Cole hit Stout, who was advanced to third on outs and scored under Kik's Texas leaguer. Kik was allowed to score on Fisher's mlsplay. Score:

BASEBALL GOSSIP. (By Tort.)

Our chances for the pennant flew over the fence Thursday afternoon and

by this time said chance is so far away

that it would take about $8 worth of postage stamps to send a postal card to its present location. Of course, there

is the barest chance on earth of win ning out, but it is so bare that modes ty forbids us introducing it to the pub lie. . There was just a handful of bugs In

festing the ball yard Thursday and all of them except one was a tried and true member of the Boost society. The exception was a person who hid under

a Buffalo Bill bonnet. One time dur

ing the game, when Hicks tried to hide

the ball on a sleepy base runner this

personage, who claims New Paris as a

residence, tipped the play off. How he escaped with his life remains a dark

mystery. ...

Mr. Orr, the dismantled backstop

and utility cutup of the Kokomo team.

and Mr. Gardner, our demon right

fielder, had several wordy encounters

which would have made George Ade

turn green with envy. Mr. Gardner

si.enced the windy Mr. Orr by address

ing him as an onion herder.

Umps McCormack was an object of

pity. He is the latest joke President

Kling has perpetrated on the public. McCormack was impartial, however. Kokomo suffered about as much from

his hands as did Richmond.

Portland will be the attraction here

Saturday and Sunday. The last league

game of the season will be played Sun

day. The Jays will come determined

to take second place for us.

THISTLETHWAITE IS VERY WELL PLEASED

Considers Football Prospects

At Earlham Good. 9 VAIL COMES WEEK EARLY.

Football prospects for Earlham this year are considered by those in a posi

tion to know, as good as last. Thlstlethwaite, captain of last year, was in the city this week and states that he is much encouraged with the prospects. Halfbacks Carey and King, of last year, will be about the only old men

who will be out this year, and there ap

pears to be plenty of good men to take

their places. Wilmer Lindley, of three

years ago, will be in the game again this year and is strong at either guard or tackle. Wann will be back at center, in all probability, and Barrett and Wathall are good at guard. The ends are well provided for this year. Guyer of last season, who many thought was entitled to a place on the all-stars, Hancock and Brubaker, will be in line for ends. For behind the line, there are several prospectives. among them being White. Elliott, Stanley, Harrell and others. Williamson, a man from Sheridan, said to be anexcellent half back, will be in the game. A report from Indianapolis has it that "Ike" Swain, of the manual training, an allaround athlete, will enter Earlham. Word has been receive- from Coach Vail, a Pennsylvania man, to the effect that he will be here a week early and begin to round up the bunch.

Indianapolis, Sept. 13. A world's record for the 3-year-old stallions furnished a brilliant climax of a long and good day's sport at the state fair yesterday. Kentucky Todd, winner of the Western Horseman stake, became the world's champion for his age and his sex when he trotted the second and final heat of the stake in 2.-00, reducing the former record made by General Watts, at Readville, Mass., three weeks ago, by a quarter of a second. It was the greatest exhibition of colt trotting the world has ever seen. Kentucky Todd received a royal welcome when he came out on the track. Apparently everybody recognized the Canadian-owned, Kentucky-bred youngster and was familiar with the fact that he had won the Kentucky Futurity for 2-year-old trotters, taking a record in that race of 2:1404-

"He Who Kcepa.h His Tongue." An old fashioned minister was visiting his son in New York recently and was taken to a fashionable church for the Sunday morning service. The pastor is a young man of great culture, but evidently his oratorical efforts did not greatly impress the visitor, for when they were walking homeward the son remarked approvingly: "That was a good sermon, an excellent sermon. The congregation like Dr. Blank very much." "Yes, a good sermon undoubtedly," his father replied. "It could not possibly have touched a sore spot anywhere." New York Herald.
