AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
Base Ban Notes.

The Indianapolis ball club needs a change
catcher much worse than it needs pitchers.
AS a base ball player Reissing seems to be a
conspicuous and monumental failure. He and
Locke have no business in a professional club.
If there are any more chumps who want en-
gagements as ball players, they can probably be
accommodated by applying to the manager of
the Indianapolis club.
The Cincinnati club will play here again to-
morrow, and then the home club will go on a
brief trip, playing at Toledo, Columbus and
Louisville before returning.
John Brennan is in town. and he does not yet
know whether he will be retained as an umpire
or not. A meeting Of the association was held
at Columbus on Saturday, and his case consid-
cred. It is said that Seward, Council and Bren-
nan will be released from further service after
this month.
The telegraphers' base ball club, of this city,
played the Pendletons, at Pendleton, on Satur-
day, the score being 8 to 8 in favor of the latter.
The telegraphers were short their regular catch
er, and had to substitute an inferior battery.
The grounds were in very bad condition. The
Pendletons will remove to Anderson, and play
the remainder Of the season there.

Nr. M. 3. Shiels Latest Scheme, and How 1t
Is To Be Frustrated.

The Announcement that there will be two con-
~ventions of the temperance people Of Indiana
TO consider the political situation, in this city,
on Thursday, has created considerable COM
ment The reason for the dual meeting is this:
When Mr.. NJ. E. Shiel, who assumes to be the
leader Of the temperance people, issued his mod
fled call for a convention, so that even those
might attend who differed from his views, there
was a meeting held. to make the necessary ar
Fangements. An agreement was made with the
various railroads to transfer delegate at reduced
rates, the certificates Of authority to be issued
~ Mi. Shiel. That gentleman is said to have
taken advantage of his position to issue GER
tiicates only to those temperance people who
supported his planfor a convention to put a State
ticket in the field, thus hoping to prevent the
attendance Of the. great mass of
the temperance people who do not favor
separate political action. He evidently feared
that this element, which includes such promi-
nent men as DR.. Houser, E.. B. Reynolds, j. B.
Conner, T. A. Goodwin and others, might be in q
majority In the convention, and thus prevent the
contamination Of his scheme, to divert the tenn
pcrance vote in the interests of the Democracy,
and MOTTO further any particular reform. 1t was
therefore found necessary to arrange a separate
convention, which will meet in the Grand Opera
house, and a formal call has been issued by Mr..
Reynolds and others. The indications are that
it will be largely attended.

The Indianapolis Club Defeated by Toledo
and Cincinnati-Other Games.
The worst game of the season by all odds was
played on the Bruce-farm grounds yesterday
afternoon, between the home club and the Gin
.cinnati. It opened with Jones at the bat, who,
with no kind of consideration for the feelings of
first time he made a pass at it, and crossed the
home plate on a passed ball by Dorgan. Reilly
was sent to first on being hit with the ball,
where he was caught mapping by McKeon.
Carpenter struck out, and McPhee
sent a fly to right which was
safely taken by Locke. Dorgan made a
safe hit over the pitcher. Phillips sent a fly to
Reilly, Callahan failed to get to first,
and Weihe duplicated Phillipss experiment
with like results, leaving Dorgan on
second. In the second inning Corkhill was sent
to first by being hit BY the pitcher. He tried to
make a run on Mansell's two baser, but was
caught at home plate. Mansell was caught at
the same place on a hit by Peoples. Shallix was
given his base on balls, and stole second, Peoples
scoring on passed ball by Dorgan, Kerins,
McKeon and Reising went out in one, two, three
order. Dorgan then refused to catch longer,
and after some discussion, Monroe, the new man,
was put in. AS the score shows, he
was unable to hold McKeon at his best, and the
latter had to ease up, much to the satisfaction
Of the visitors. In the third inning Merrill made
a tour of the bases through errors on the part
of the visitors and hit by Phillips. There was
little interest in the game at any point after it
was seen that McKeon must curb his delivery.
Jones made three three-base hits and two singles.
Reilly made one three base hit, and Mansell and
Corkhil two two-base hits. Locke distinguished
himself by muting an easy fly and then over
throwing second. Reising ran around
the outfeld like a wild man beating
the air with his arms like a windmill, and man
aged to take in two flies that came too near him
to be misjudged. At the end Of the seventh in
ming hundreds of the twenty-five hundred pres
ent got up and left. The fact is, base ball will
soon be very unpopular in indianapolis unless
something is done to increase the efficiency of
the club. Following is

Want Better school Facilities.

THERE seems to be an idea prevail
ing among some Of our colored citi-
zens that they have not received that
proper recognition from our county
school authorities that they should
have, and meeting was held ia this
city a few nights ago at which com
mittee was appointed to wait upon
the school commissioners of this
county and inquire fully into this
matter. The idea thus entertained
on the part of our colored friends is
errone ous, as we propose to demon
strate in manner that we hope will
not only prove satisfactory to them,
but to the general public interested
in school matters. There are "a pub
lie colored schools in this county, and
q colored teachers The school levy
is predicated upon the entire property
of the county, and the distribution of
the school fund is made according to
the population. The whole amount
of school taxes paid by the colored
people of this county does not exceed
5000.
The State apprOpriates $6,8I2.40
for the colored schools of this county,
and they receive in all $7,OS2, Is. The
State school tax is distributed by the
Comptroller, quartely Under the
law, the total amount of taxes paid
for school purposes by the colored
people not only of this county, but of
every county in this State, as well as
the City of Baltimore, together with
any donations that may be made for
the purpose, is entirely devoted to the
maintenance of the schools for colored
children, as will be seen by reference
to section 4, chapter Is, of the present
school law of this State. The amount
of school taxes paid by the colored
people of this county, would not pay
for the keeping open of three schools.
1t will thus be seen that the school
law of this State is very liberal to-
wards the colored schools, and the
amount distributed by the county
school authorities is equally so, and
instead of our colored people com
planning, they should congratulate
themselves and our school board over
the great facilities that have been
granted them.

to people in the state who can see and

sions arrived at by the prohibitionists
sound very hat-and in fact trashy. Re

ton. in less than two years, has closed
395 saloons. During this time the pop
ulatiOn has increased u per cent. If
our saloons had kept pace with the pop

hibited 419 saloons in the territory

saloons in every one of these sixty-six
counties. To-day. the 3l3 saloons in ex-
iStence are confined 10 twenty-five coun-
ties. over half the number being in a
