Base Ball TODAY.

The famous Chicago base ball club will play
the indianapolis club this afternoon and to-mor-
row afternoon, on the Seventh-street grounds
game being called at $3.50 O'Clock. Flint and
Williamson, of the Indian apolis club of 1879
will be with the visitors and play here. There
should be large crowds at both games.
o'LEARY AND THE PITCHER.
Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
One OF the local directors, who is always on
the lookout for baseball phenomenons thought
he had discovered one in young pitcher of
he was brought down with view of pitttng him
against the Alleghenies on election day. The
Pittsburgers did not remain, and so this game
was not played. Atkinson is an innocent youth
with considerable confidence in himself, and
when he arrive he inquired of Manager O'Leary
II ne mad good catcher, and intimated that he
would require as good IA man as was necessary
to handle RabOurne, of the Providence team.
O'Leary Interpreted the inquiry as a reflection
upon the stone-wall capabilities of Keenan,, and
ne said TO the phenomenon from the lake side:
young man, II you expect to play ball in this
town, you Will have to learn to keep your mouth
shut" The next morning he again said to At
kinson: "You will pitch with a picked nine
against our team, and we will make sucker
out OF you" Instead of making a sucker out of
him, sixteen of O'Leary's ball-pounders struck
out in eight innings, forty-fOur actual strikes
were called, and only five hits were made. He
showed he had good speed and a handsome
curve, with none OF the catchers who volun-
teered to back him able to handle his delivery
Last night Atkinson was offered $l5 to remain
over and pitch against the Detrolts, but il seems
that he took offense at O'Leary's manner, and
went home in milf. The directory admired his
Independence, and 1t is said will make liberal
offer to play him next season.

POLITICAL OPINIONS.
What Is Thought by Knowing Ones of the
Result of the Ohio Election.

The result of the elections in Ohio and Iowa
have been the absorbing topics of conversation
among the politicians of both parties since the
result became reasonably certain, and
the opinions expressed differ, as may
be supposed, according TO the political pref
ences of the gentlemen expressing them.
Senator Mcdonald, always reasonably candid,
does not opine that the success of his party this
fall meant success in 1884, necessarily, and
thought the result was largely due to the PSI
ton of the Republican party on the prohibition
question.
Hon. Charles L Holstein, United States Dis
trict Attorney, attributes the result the action
of the Prohibitionists in nominating and votin g
for a ticket of their own after getting
the Republicans to take decided stand
for them. The wOOl-grOwers also con-
tributed to Republican defeat, the d 9nocrats
having, by missi atements, produced the impress
orally was responsible for the reduction of the
tariff on wool, which had great effect in Ohio,
which is one of the largest woOl-growine States
in the Union.
James II. Rice thinks from the fact that the
Democractc gains largest In rural districts
they have come to stay, and that the victory of
Tuesday last augurs unusually well for 1884
Ex-Governor Hendricks comedies with Mr.
Rice.
M. E. shiel, editor of the Prohibtionists Or
gan, the Moni tor-Journal, thinks that the Prohi-
bltiOnlsts should be enthusiastic over the sur
prisingly large vote cast for the second amend
ment; but their action In voting for their own
ticket so largely evidently defeated the Repub-
licans, with whom it would have been policy for
them to have voted.

FAREWELL TO BUTLER.
Miss Catherine Merrill Retires from the In
stitution-A Farewell Reception.

The students and faculty of Butler University,
to the number of a hundred or more, met last
evening in spite of the drenching rain to give
farewell reception to Miss Catherine Merrill for
the last fourteen years professor of English lit
erature in that institution. This chair was en-
dowed by the late Ovid Butler with $40, 900, on
condition that it should be permanently occu-
pied by woman, and that she should have
salary equal to that of any other pro-
fessor, and that Miss Merrill should
hold the position at her option. Miss
Merrill resigns account of the great amount
of work the chair demands--more than her
strength is equal to without an assistant, which
the present financial condition of the college
does not permit. Her resignation is regretted
alike by students and fellow professors, the lat
ter urging unsuccessful!y upon the board the
necessity of an assistant. An elegant easy chair
was presented Mss Merrill by the students,
Prof. Thrasher acting as spokesman, and hoping
That III the dreamy recesses of the old armchair
she would have pleasant memories of the fond
hearts left at Butler. Miss Merrill responded in
a few affectIonate and well-chosen words, quot
ing Wordsworth's sentiment, that the gratitude
OF men had left her mourning oftener than the
reoollect1ons of their unkindness.
Miss Merrill will at once enter upon her new
field of labor indianapolis, where, at 279
classes, she will teach English literature. The
instruction will take the form of recitations,
class conferences and series of lectures on
modern European history, including two classes
i'll shakespeare. Mrs. Myla Rltzinger, Mrs. Hem
~ Coburn and Mrs Joseph ShIpp have the man
agemenJ of the class organization, and will give
full information TO those desiring it. Miss Merrill
held similar classes before in Indianapolis,
which have had the patronage of the best citi
zens of the city, and her determination to de-
vote her great talents a teacher and ripe
scholar to the young people of this city will
meet with the warmest support OF her friends
Miss MerrllP5 successor is one OF her former
pupils, Miss Harriet Noble, daughter of General
Noble, of Vncennes, and a graduate of Vassar
College. She is the choice of Miss Merrill and
will fill the position with ability and success.
The college is in fnurishng condition, there
being over $50 students There were some ten
der partings last evening, for Miss Merrill is
universal favorite, and although a critical ana
exacting teacher, brought such sterling per
sonal worth and Christian character to her work
that her impress has been of the highest moral
as well as scholastic value.
