London's Great Preacher.

DIR. W. Reid, in the United Presbyterian.
We are not able to-assign any reasons for Mr..
Surgeons popularity which are lentirely satis-
factory to ourselves. Other ministers are as
learned, able, eloquent, devoted as be. but there
is only one Spurgeon. Why is it7 He uses
simple language. Q child can understand every
word and sentence in his sermons. His ~illrstra-
tions are drawn from common life: every one
can appreciate them. He breaches the gospel;
Christ. and not the preacher, is forced upon the
attention of the nearer. In addition to all this,
he has the esrnestness of sincerity and the repu-
tation of a godly life. Perhaps this combination
of qualities may account for the position ne oc
cupies among modern preachers, but it seems
hardly sufficient to explain his pre-eminenee.
One thing is certain; in the estimation of the
people he stands head and shoulders above his
ministerial brethren in this city of great preach
ers.

Getting Press Notices.

Here are some Of the gems of praise that the
Eastern press bestow on the champion Indiana
polls losers. The Boston Herald says;
The Indianapolis team is remarkably strong in
every department, and, IS It is playing to-day, must
finish the season strong. There is not a more evenly
balanced team in the League to-day. AID it is strange,
indeed, 20 see such a club in the last place.
After losing three straight games in Boston
the remarkably strong team moves to Phila-
delphia and quickly loses three more equally as
straight; nevertheless, the Philadelphia Ledger
is moved to say:
The Hoosiers appeared in their new suits of light
gray, with black trimmings, and they made . very
neat appearance. They are q fine looking set Of
athletes, and individually the indianapolis team is one
of the strongest in the country. For some reason OF
other. however, they are not n winning combination,
though they play as good ball as any club in the
League. Burdick, the Hoosiers' new pitcher. made
his first appearance in this city and made n fine i'm
preston.
These are only samples of comments by papers
In other cities. These things may sound very
we'll to the players, but Indianapolitans would
much prefer to have a club which could win o
few more games. 1t Is victories that count.

Return of Club.

The Indianapolis club returns home tonight
after one Of the most disastrous trips on record.
Since leaving here they have played twenty-one
games, Of which they have lost seventeen.
What makes this record so bad is the fact that
there were no extenuating circumstances. and
the result must be accepted as q fair sho wing of
the strength of the team. 1t left here with all
Of its men in excellent condition, with a new
pitcher who had shown himself able to cope
with the best. with a record of three straight
victories over the Chicaeos and of having won
moro games the preceding month than any club
in the League save New York. Yet, notwith-
standing all these encouraging features, the
club went in and did worse than it had ever
done in its history. The inevitable conclusion
appears to be that the team does not really
possess the strength which its friends here hoped
it would display, and that it Is the weakest OF
the League clubs, even when il is 10 the best
about the only one that can DO derived from the
circumstances in the case. The predomi.
nant weakness OF the team seems
to De IN head work. when
o club loses twelve or fifteen games out Of
twenty. by a margin Of only one or two runs. is
indicates that the players are lacking In that
quality called backbone; that they haven't the
courage TO win in q close fight The trouble
with the indianapolis players is that they do not
know hcw to grasp an opportunity. An appar-
ent advantage 10 nothing to them; q lead OF
three or four runs in the first inning appears to
have no more effect npon them than it would
on wooden Indians. Il seems rather to en-
barrass them. No other club under the
sun would have let Chicago win that eams
in which Indianapolis started out with a lead Of
four runs in the first inning, and a green pitcher
TO face during the remainder of the game.
Time and again, on the present trip. tbs Indian
spolis club has had q good lead early in the
game. sufficient to encourage it to better stick
work, at least, but the advantage never seemed
to affect them.
In the meantime, the local public will proba-
bly, 90 out to the games in this city az usual.
Baseball is q recreation, and all the clubs en-
gagged in it cannot win. Indianapolis ought to
be represented in the League, it evidently cannot
be represented by q winning club, and therefore
those who want to keep the name of the city be-
fore the baseball readers all over the country
and who want open-air entertainment mnst
school themselves TO take defeat philosophically.
and patronize the game for what it is and rot
for what is might be. One thing can be said OF
tho players in the local team. they never put up
q listless, embarrassing game, and if the patrons
can get the idea of winning" out of their heads
they will enjoy baseball here just as well as
they could anywhere.
