REMARKABLE GAME OF BALL
1t Takes the indianapolis Club Eleven In
nings to Defeat Grand Rapids.

Considering the Instantaneous circum-
stances under which it was played the game of
base ball between the Indianapolis and Grand
Rapids clubs, at the Seventh street grounds yes
terday, was one of the most remarkable contests
ever seen here. The grounds were muddy and
slippery and the atmosphere exceedingly chilly
and unpleasant. Whenever a ball struck a
players hands it left more than feeting sensat
ton, and the playing was otherwise accom-
panied by much physical discomfort. Notwith
standing this fact, but three errors were made
on both sides two by indianapolis and one by
Grand Rapids, and none of them were particu-
larly disastrous. For ten innings neither side
scored a run, the pitching of both McKeon
and Henry being remarkably effective.
reached third base; but both men were left there.
In the eleventh inning, after the visitors had
been retired in one, two, three order, the nome
club came in to win. The inning did not open
very auspiciously for them, for two men were
quickly put out. Then Kerins was sent to first
on seven balls-went to second on a wide-pitched
ball and scored on Callahans hard line hit to
left field which was excellently stopped and
thrown, but too late to head off the run. The
score shows that McKeon struck out fifteen men,
which is a remarkable record, and only Eden, of
the Grand Rapids club, was able to hit his pitch

LYRA HALL-THE CRADLE SONG CONCERT.
The Home for the Friendiess, a deserving in
stitution, will be considerably benefited finan-
cially by the concert which was given at Lyra
Hall last night The ladies who are interested
in the success of the institution had gone to
much trouble to get up entertainment which
should have new and interesting features, and
their efforts were rewarded by an audience which
filed the hall. The programme was unique and
excellently rendered. 1t consisted of the cradle
or lullaby songs of various nations, sung by we'll
known vocalists of the city, with scenic sur
roundings, and costumes appropriate to the ma
tionality represented. The latter had been ar
ranged by Mr.. Walter Satterlee, with excellent
Judgment and taste, and contributed materially
to the success of the entertainment. The
ladies, to whom the Characterization were in
trusted were Mrs. Hammond (Spanish). Miss
Newcomer North Germany, Mrs. Voolfolk
(French), Mrs. Morrison Hungarian. Mrs.
Schurman (Indian), Miss Blake DANISH,
dies were sung with much sweetness and effect.
In the interludes there were excellent overtures
by Mller's orchestra, and at the conclusion re
freshments were served in the lower rooms.
