NOLAN To BE TRIED.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 23.-President Petit,
of the baseball nine, returned from the east
this morning, and he reports that Nolan will
be tried Tuesday evening, and if not guilty
will be reinstated. There seem to be no def
mite charges. Petit says, in relation to his
suspension, that upon starting for Provi-
deuce, where the Cincinnatis had been hav-
ing a picnic, he requested Nolan to do his
level best. The game opened In good con-
dition, and neither side scored for several
innings. Then two OF the Providence club
reached bases, with Wheeler at the bat, who
couldn't hit q barn-door. The first two balls
pitched were strikes, then two bad balls were
pitched, after which one good one, making
two strikes, two balls. and one fair bal.
Nolan then pitched one along the ground,
and one high in the air, Flint having Difficult
ty in stopping either, while the third he
threw to one side so far that Flint could not
have reached it with ten-foot pole, and this
sort of work was kept up until the game was
past salvation. Then he buckled down, and
the heaviest hitters struck out. Upon being
suspended Nolan kicked, and protested he
had never thrown game IN his life. Fur
ther, he couldn't do anything but play ball,
and he didn't want to lose his character.
Petit answered that he was either crooked
or he couldn't play ball like he did last year,
and that he would have to stand an invesh-
CATION. If he was acquitted his character
would be improved The feeling around
town is against Nolan. and even if he is rein
stated it is pretty certain that Mccormack
will pitch IN the games to be played this
week.
THE LEAGUE RECORD.
Cincinnati Enquirer, oath: In the league
race the Cincinnatis this week, for the first
time since The season opened, give up first
place and let the Bostons In very little
ahead. 1t is hardly likely they will regain
the lead, if at all, IN less than month, and
maybe not until after their next eastern trip.
They are still ahead in won games, but be-
hind by the true test, per cent. lost. The
following table will show which have lost
and gained since last Sunday:
