NOTES.
The Terre Haute club will play two games to-
day with the home club, the morning game be-
ing called at 10 o'clock and afternoon game at
$50 o'clock.
Until yesterday no member Of the Indianapo-
lis club had knocked the ball over the fence ex-
cept Callahan. Peoples got one over on bound
and Peltz sent one under the fence.
Trumbeu, the new pitcher, made his initial
appearance yesterday, and pitched very good
game, the heavy batters of the Columbus club
failing to hit him for a total of more than six
bases.
Phillips and Scott of Fort Wayne have agreed
to come here next season for 81 $50 each pro-
vided, first that there is no club at Fort Wayne
next season, or second, if the Northwester
Lesgue does not enforce the eleven men reserve
rule.
Brown, of the Columbus team, was recently
asked to sign there for next season, but declined
on the ground that his services were valuable
enough to bring him higher salary than that
club could pay. Wonder how much he wanted
after yesterdays eame2
The game of base ball yesterday at the State
Fair, between the Capital City and Golden Ea-
gle clubs, resulted in score of z to in favor
of the former, who made seven hits to two for
their opponents. Helm and Weber were the bat
terry for the victorious club
Kerlnss remarkable batting record yesterday
Long John Reilly's (of the Cincinnatis) record is
the best, viz: Six times at bat, with total of
fourteen bases. There are two with thirteen
and three with twelve, the figure reached by
Kerins yesterday. Two home runs. a two-base
hit and two singles, is pretty fair afternoons
work with the stick
During the last few games the batting aver
ages have materially changed. Dorgan has
fallen off from 408 to 1917 Keenan, has
dropped two points, from 367 to
$50 To by Dornan,s falling off 3s attrihntable
TO his lame arm, and it is safe to say, now that
he has recovered the use OF it, that he will re-
sumo his old position.
The board of directors of the Indiana polls
club met, last night, to transact the regular
routine business The most important matter
brought mp for consideration was the engage
menu of a manager for the club for next
season. Manager Dan. OLeary's proposition
was received, considered and finally rejected It's
terms being unsatisfactory 10 several OF the
board The proposition called for $4,000
salary and twenty-five per cent. of the profits OF
the season, OIaary to manage the club and
be a member of the regular playing
nine be has this season. While it is of course,
possible that satisfactory agreement may yet
be reached, il ia hardly probable, all things
considered, that Dan, will remain, as he
has a number of tempting offers else
where-one at Baltimore, one at Chicago,
and still another at Boston. Last
night he expressed his DETERMINATION to sign
elsewhere without any further delay. There
may be some lovers of the game in Indianap-
but even these m1.t admit that to
him belongs whatever credit there may
be in the revival of the interest in the
sport hereabouts, and for the presence In In
diauapois of one of the best clubs In the
country. No man could have worked harder or
served more faithfully, and none could have
