ject of presenting petition to Congress for the
purpose of having national soldiers home
located in this city. Marion is now asking Con-
eress. intends to ask it soon to locate such an
institution at that place. Colonel Black said
that the Arsenal grounds here would furnish D
beautiful location for the home, and would OBJ

4 Citizen with a Complaint.

70 the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
see Mr.. Dickson disclaims the idea that the
men waiting for the opening of the sale of the
Booth and Barrett tickets are ticket-buyers.
Just the same, there is a well-defned impression
abroad that greater part of them are paid
employees of TWO or three citizens OF . spscu-
lative turn of mind. If the managers of the
opsra-house esunot see their way clear to close
the entrance 10 that theatre the police ought TO
dis perez the gang. 1t is strange that the citi-
Zens will submit TO the impostions OF these
spectators every time some extraordinary at
traction comes here. In Cincinnati and other
places people can enjoy these performances
without paying bonus to these SPECTATORS for
their unsolicited services in providing tickets.
1t is an outrage on the public and every man
who is engaged in the business, whether by
agent or in person, ought to be published
There are some men engaged in this business
who would be ashamed TO own 1t. as among
other things it advertises the fact that they
must be in financial straits

Glasscock,s sicknshs.

Jack Glasscock's sickness is more serious
than was at first supposed. and now the Indian
apolis club will have to go into the champion
ship season without his inestimable services.
Glasscock has considerable fever. and while his
symptoms not alarming, he will not be able
to 60 on the ball field for week. He is himself
more alarmed than anyone else. It is q notice
able Characteristic OF nearly all men of strong
physique that when they do happen to be over
taken with sickness they imagine themselves
much worse than they are. Glasscock is very
much aeitated over the fact that he is compelled
TO keep to his bed couple of days in succession,
and thinks his physician does not
begin to carry him along as fast IS he
should. Referring to Giasscock's state of mind
Yesterday, one of the players said: ''Since Al Nc

although that might be far from champion
team. The club yesterday composed of
seven yoapg men, nearly all of whom showed
far less ability play ball than is exhibited by
the average cole ge team. The fault seems to
lie with the young man who undertook to get
the team together. and took the responsibility
of that matter off the hands OF Mr. Spence.
There have been number of college teams ia
the State during tina past few gears which could
give the club of yesterday nine outs to an
inning and beat it. The young man who got
the team together states that four of the play
ers who had promised to come failed TO put in
an appearance-a fact for which he, of course,
cannot altogether be blamed. One of thu play
ers who failed TO show MP was the catcher. and
the amateurs were greatly handicapped from
the start on that account. Healy played first
base for them. The score finally resulted 26 to
i, in favor of the professionals. About the only
ones Of the collegians who displayed any knowl-
of the game were the left-felder second base
man, pitcher, and even they will not compare
with many ball-piayers there are in the colleges
of the State. About two hundred people saw

Manager Dickson said yesterday. in regard to
this matter: "Of course we know there will be
big demand for seats. larger than ever before
perhaps. bat there are some things about this
sale that people do not seem to understand and
consequently many of them think they will be
unable TO get seats without paying enormous
prices fo- them. In the first place, probably
twothirds of the people in line there do not have
the slightest intention of buying seats: they are
simply there for the purpose OF selling their
places when the sale opens. When their turn
comes at the box ofdce they can buy seats

will be put out OF line. Then, again. former
