DETR0ITS VICTORIOUS.
A Hard Batting Contest, Resulting in a
Victory for the Visitors.

The old-tine enemy, the Detroits, made their
initial appearance here yesterday afternoon be-
fore five or six hundred people, and, as usual,
downed the Indianapolis ball tossers, by score
of u to 8. AS a general thing, the friends of
the home nine do not plead the baby act and
complain of the unfairness of the umpire, but
Brennan's decisions yesterday were so inexcusa-
bly, and intolerably bad that to expect forbear-
ance would be unreasonable. By his decision
Bennett and Farwel were given lives and
allowed to come in in the eighth inning after
both were out, the former on third base and the
latter on foul tip. Brennan will have to warm
up and gather his wits if he expects to last long
in the association. The day was so very raw
and cold that almost any kind of an error was
exeusable, and perfect play was out of the ques-
ton. Both Macarthur and Shaw were batted
with freedom, as the ase-ht column will show.
Jerry Dorgan won the $40 prize by knocking the
ball over the fence for home run in the sew
enth inning The two clubs play again this
afternoon. Following is

that he has clothes in the latest style with q
tall hat for which he paid 49, and large dia-
mond shirtstud which cost him SO, 80. He says
that he has made up his mind that boxing is
ling, and that as soon as he has finished his pres
emit three months engagement he will return to
Japan and study boxing, after which he will re-
turn to this country and challenge its champion
to meet him in Japanese style.
Matsadas Japanese friend explained to the re
porter that Japanese boxing is entirely different
from tho English style, the majority of the
blows being delivered with the wrists and with
the elbows, a tavorite style being for the CON
testants to stand opposite each other and strike
the back of their wrists together, until one or
the other succeeds in breaking both his adver-
sary's arms, which usually counts for knock
out. He added that a Jananee" boxer must

But the owners of the best inventions decided not to

prove more valuable to them than the five thousand
dollars. Accordingly the prize could not be awarded
