Brooklyn Fall Victims to Tail-Enders.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Sir Timothy Keefe didn't find his arm quite so lame as he thought 1t was when he left Boston Satur- day. At any rate the injury he received then had nc perceptible effect on his work yesterday, and he won his seventeenth successive game. Still had Mr. Keefe not had eight good men and true behind him the tale would have been different At one time it looked very much like shutout Tor the Giants. The Indianapolis Club placed their reliance on Mir. Shreve, a young gentleman famous for smoking cigarettes and of making chimpanzees out or the New York and Detroit slusgers. Shreve yesterday came pretty near repeat ing his usual trick. Indeed up to the eight inning the score stood to in favor of the Hoosiers. Then it was that the Giants knocked out the necessary runs to win the contest. Richardson, Connor and O'Rourke scoring. The result was:

BROOKLYN, Aug. 7.-The Brooklyns and Loulsvilles worried through seven tire some innings without scoring any runs yesterday afternoon, and in the eighth in- ming the home team, by their loose field Ing, allowed the visitors to make two runs and win the game. Both teams played without energy, and the batting was gen- eralIy weak. The Brsoklyns had several good chances to score, on one occasion naVlng two men on bases, with none out. but they failed to make the proper use of thelr opportunities.
 Bob Ferguson umpired again and ex- perienced no opposition, the players of the Louisville team acting in marked con- trast to the St. Louis. Not protest marred the game aud the play was har- monious throughout. Score:

IMPROVED GUNPOWDER.
A New Compound from Which
 Great Things Are Expected.
when It Is Used tho Gun Kicks Less ana the Bullet Goes sFaster-Experiments Determining the Maximum Press
 ure of the New Substance.

A new gunpowder, said to be great im-
 proVement on any thing of the sort hitherto
 manufactured, has been invented in En-
 gland, where, according to the New York
 Su''' It has made stir in both sporting and
 military circles. While giving the projectile a much greater velocity than any common powder could do, the new powder is said to strain the gun barrel much less and to make the gun recon less. That the burn ing Of powder which produces less max mum pressure in gun barrel, or strains gun barrel less than some other powder. should nevertheless give greater velocity 10 the prolectlle, is sort of paradox. Of course, the fact is that the new powder burns more slowly than the old kinds, but stlll produces so much gas that the total amount of energy imparted to the project lie as it travels the length of the gun bar rel is greater than when quicker burning powder is used. A quick burning powder IS all converted into gas before the project lie gets under headway, and so exerts an enormous pressure for very short space ot time, strainmg the barrel and making the gun kick. The projectile then starts on It's way and the pressure rapidly di- mlnlshes. With slow burning powders the proJectile starts toward the mug zle before quarter of the powder is con- sumed, perhaps, and so makes room for the
 volume of gases. Instead of the pressure on the base of the proiectlle de- creaslng as 1t moves, however, as in the case of Qulck-burning powders, there is an in crease for measurable distance with slow burning powders. This was illustrated by an English eXperimenter with this diagram.
