TWO GAMES HERE TODAY.
indianapolis and Minneapolis Will Play
Morning and Afternoon.

The Indianapolis ball club returned from
its trip yesterday morning. In spite of its
numerous defeats Manager Sharsig in
sists that the team is playing as good
ball as any in the Western League,
and he is confident that it will win
more games than it loses during the
next three weeks of play on the home
grounds. Another pitcher and a new in
fielder, it is expected, will be obtained
within the next few days, both frst-class
men from the Southern League.
The Indianapolis and Minneapolis clubs
will play two games at the East Ohio
street grounds to-day. The first will be
called at 10 o'clock this morning, and either
Cross or Phillips, probably the former, will
be in the box for the home team. Don
nelly and Phillips will be in uniform to do
the pitching this afternoon. Arrangements
have been made to accommodate a large
crowd this afternoon. Extra seats have
been put in all around. Awnings have
been placed on the west side of the grand
stand, so as to keep out the suns rays.
All the boxes have been placed on sale,
the seats in them being reserved. Tickets
for any part of the grounds can be bought
down town at the cigar stores
of c. +. Meyer & Bro. and Herman Adj
ans, without extra charge. Special baseball
trains will be run, both for the morning
and afternoon games.

The Zigzag Cycling Club is making active
preparations for it's fourth annual tourna-

already has promises from several of the
large manufacturers, who have teams on

battle in royal style for laurels for the
wheels they represent as well as for the
handsome prizes offered by the club. The
$1,000 gold cup, which was the special prize
given by the club last year in the one-mile
international race, was the finest prize ever
offered by any club for a bicycle race in
the world. This cup was won by the cham
pion Zimmerman, and bearing the emblem

a Practical Invention.

One of the simplest and greatest labor
saving small inventions of the age is an
air blast for cleaning purposes. The ma,
chine is charged with air under forty
pounds pressure TO the square inch and is
turned upon the article to be cleaned the
same as water with hose for washing pur-
poses. IT is by far superior to brooms. beat
ers or busters, as it penetrates and thor
oughly traces every crevice in the article
to be cleaned. This device is at present
applied to cleaning cars, and is so perfect
in its work that it will rapidly come into
general use for all cleaning purposes. Halls,
hotels and large buildings can be swept
and busted in an incredibly short time.
Properly handled il will rid the room OF
every particle of dust, clean furniture. car
pets, pushes, furs and ornaments. 1t will
do the work of a dozen people. Mr.. w. +.
Nation, of Kokomo. Ind, the owner of the
patent, is in the city quietly arranging to
place it in general use.

Stranger Takes Boone McKee's Horse
Under Unusual Circumstances.

A peculiar theft was reported to the po-
lice yesterday. Boone Mckee had his
horse hitched on North Pennsylvania street
near University Park in the afternoon. In
some manner the animal got loose and
dashed north on Pennsylvania street. 1t
was captured at Second street by Booth
Harrington. AS he was waiting, undecided
what to do with the animal, a well-dressed,
athletic looking man, aged about twenty
five years, stepped up to him and said,
Much obliged TO you. You have saved me
a great deal of trouble" The man acted
as if he was the owner of the animal and
Harrington turned the animal over to
him. The latter Immediately mounted the
horse and disappeared in short time.
Just as he was lost sight of the colored
porter of Mckee came running up TO Tark-
ington and explained that he was hunting
for a runaway horse. Harrington told him
of the occurrence of a few moments before
and described the horse. The porter said
it was the horse he was hunting for, and
he Immediately left in the direction taken
by the stranger The matter was reported
to the police, but neither the stranger nor
the horse were captured at a late hour last
night.
