that the game which was very interesting
throughout was won by the Hoosiers by
score OF 5 to 8. Bartson and Sage was

will probably be put in the box today.
That the Twin-City team has a weak

sary to release later on.

President Hodges received a letter
from Manager Sage this morning in
which he expressed his confidence that
the present players would all come
around all right and play good ball yet.
and he seemed reluctant about making
any changes whatever. Strange to say
he had ignored the instructions to sign
Mutton, who has been playing second
base temporarily. Certain it is if any
changes are to be made at all they should
be considered pretty soon, as all the other
clubs are strengthening up and the msn>

Mayor McConochie this morning issued
notice TO the workmen engaged in
erecting the fence and grand stand at
the ball PARK. restraining them from en-
crosching further upon where Forty.third
street should be until further notice. The
base ball association had taken about
four feet of Forty-third street as plat ted
in order to cave Is or 30 feet of Forty
second street clear for public use. The
ball association by its lease with Mr.. Nc
Master has the entire use of Forty,second
as it should be. as that street has not been
plated. In order to accommodate the
people up tt at way, however, the asso-
citation had vacated part of what it had
right to use. but the people at the
other end kicked to the mayor, and
hence his order. 1t is hoped the matter
msy be speedily adjusted in some wy
as every minute of delay to the ball asso.
citation is costly these days. Later the
matter was smicably settled as to all par
ties concerned.
