INDIANAPOLIS TEAM.
Watkins Talks About That for
Next Season.

Next Season.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 5. w. H.
Watkins, manager of the champion In
dienapolis team of 1895, was asked this
afternoon what his personal plans for
the future were. He said:
81 don't know yet. While I was in
Chicago at the Western league meet
ing 1 received some fiattering offers,
but have accepted none of them.
saw in the papers that there was some
talk Of calling me to New York, but
personally l have heard nothing of
it. OF course, I tried to get the fran
chise in Detroit, but 1 did not want
to go against Vanderbeck. 1 only
wanted the franchise in case Wander
beck wanted to get out. I suppose
shall manage some team next season,
but 1 do not know what it will be-
Personally prefer Indianapolis to any
town 1 have ever been in, but 1 have
not talked with the Indianapolis di-
rectors, and do not know what they
will do"
Have you any idea as to the per-
sonnel of the team for '96?'
"Oh, I don't think we shall lose
many of our players. AS far as I can
see, there will be only three of them
drafted. Fisher, Mcfarland and Phil
lips may go to Cincinnati I know of
no other players that will go. 1 have
my eye on a number of rattling good
players who will fill all gaps that
may be made by drafts, and should I
have charge of the team next season
1 think we could get onto the diamond
with pennant winners. Wood will take
McFarlands place very handily. T
think Wood is a great catcher, and if
he is careful he ought to be in great
form next year.

SPIDERS POUND THE ORIOLES
ALL OVER THE CLEVELAND
DIAMOND.
NOT A GHOST OF A CHANCE.
VISITORS FAILED TO FIND YOUNG
AND WE'RE OUTPLAYED ALL
ROUND.
BEATEN AT THE BEGINNING.
One Run Was All the So-Ca1Ied
Champions Could Pull Out
Against Cleveland7s Seven.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 5.-Cleve-
land made it three straight today
in the wind-up of the games for the
Temple cup i'm this city. An immense
crowd was at the league park long
before the hour set for the beginning
of the game. At least $4,000 people
were in the stands, ON the field and
perched on the fences surrounding
the park. The day was a trif1e cool,
but the air was clear and the sun
shone brightly. The crowd was en-
thusdastic, but there was not a par
ticle of disorder. The game was won
by Clevelands superior playing. The
visitors were unable to hit Young
effectively, while Mcmahon was
pounded for seven singles and four
doubles, three Of which would have
been three-baggers at least but for
the ground rules. Cleveland won in
the first inning with three runs
Burkett opened the game by driving
the first ball pitched to the left for
a single. Mexican hit to Gleason,
forcing Burkett at second. Childs
hunted safely and McAleer's single
to center scored Mexican, Childs
crossing the rubber a moment later
on Tebeau's hit to center McAleer
stole third while thinner was being
thrown out at first by Jennings. The
home team chalked up three more
in the seventh on Blakes two-bag-
ger to scenter, singles by McGarr and
Young, Burkett's sacrifice, McKean's
long fly and Kelley's long throw
to the plate. The Orioles got their
only run in the eighth. McGraw
singled, but was forced out at sec
ond by Keeler. Then Jennings
cracked out a single which advanced
Keeler to third, and he scored on
Kelley's single trohigt shrd shrshsh
by Zimmer and McGarr in the same
inning gave the home team a run
they did not need. The score:
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-06

was formed in 1870 with Robert Gill
christ, very able counselor, who
was quick to discern McGills marked
talent for the profession Later Nc
Gill was chosen prosecuting attor-
ney of Hudson county, and after a
time was promoted to be presiding
justice of the county courts His
legal learning, his culture and his
good, hard, common sense soon
gained for him another and a far
greater advancement Gov. Green
recognized his ability, and in 1887
made him chancellor of the supreme
court, the chief law officer of the
state. One of his most important
decisions smashed the famous Read
ing coal combine, and as a member
of the board of pardons he refused to
vote for the pardon of the sixty
seven ballot box suffers and the
big four" of the Guttenburg race
track.
Chancellor McGill occupies a very
high station officially, professionally
and socially in New Jersey. He is
courtly in manner and fond of the
society of brainy men. In 1894 Gov.
Werts nominated him for a second
term as chancellor, the term to con-
tinue for seven years. The guber-
material term is but three years.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-06

These colors also appeared in the neck
ties of the players. Red indicated the
doctors and physicians; blue, the law
yers and atterneys-the two colors
symbolizing the blood and fog wherein
the two professions love to see their
subjects immersed. The combatants
were also identified by broad bands of
cotton marked Doctor" or Lawyer
and pinned around the waist This
was a prospective precaution to pre-
vent a lawyer from being buried at the
expense of the doctors, or vice versa,
should the corpse be battered into an
unrec ogniZable mass as DR.. Whit
comb expressed 1t, in the glib language
of the experienced coroner. The uni
forms were not uniform. All sorts of
things were used to beautify the play
ers, although DIR. AbDott's red Tam
O'Shanter was perhaps the most sue
cessful in displaying it's wearer's deli
cate blonde beauty.
InaSmuch as the proceeds of the
game were devoted to the Free dispen-
sary, unusual sacrifices were made to
obtain proceeds. Mrs. HoXie led the
mercenary band of fair-faced pillag-
erS who despoiled the assemblage of it's
dimes and nickels. She discreetly con-
cealcd herself and Matched her nefari-
Gus plans in the secrecy of the corri-
dor together with Mesdames Open
helm, Green and Henry. This cabal
then sent forth the Misses Sturgis,
Maybelle Clark and Josephine Kalman
to sell score cards at all prices; Misses
Gordon and Jaggard to rob the inno-
90 In ofrtv for hoI nd
Moore, Bass, Tarbox, Lindeke and
Lamprey, to convince persons that
they wanted candy, peanuts, chewing
gum, and popcorn when the country is
just recovering from a financial panic.

Distant Shore, as the new challenger

DISTANT Shore, as the new challenger
will be named.
Rose is we'll known ON the other side
as horseman and as the owner of the
fast yacht Satanita, which was de-
signed by J. M. Soper, the expert who
has been commissioned to build the
Distant Shore. A number of years ago
Rose was one of the notable athletes
of Montreal. He was q fleet runner
and ranked as the best man at mile
In the vicinity of Montreal. One of his
opponents was the late C. D. Arm
strong, an athlete considered one of
the fastest men in Canada inside of 600
yards during his best days.
Rose is a native of Montreal and is
a man about forty-fve years of age.
His father was born in Scotland, but
was educated in Canada, and there be-
gan his very successful business career,
the fruits of which now enable his son
to indulge In the expensive luxury of
international yachting. Sir John Rose
removed to England about fifteen
years ago and assumed the manage
ment of the Prince of Wales fina6ciai
affairs in the duchy of Cornwall. He
was shrewd business man, and, it is
said, greatly improved the financial
condition of Albert Edward during his
regime in Cornwall. That his son is a
thorough sportsman is evidenced by the
fact that his challenge is absolutely
unconditional

DANNIE NEEDHAM.

and Jack Burke was substituted, Need
ham disposing of him in ten rounds.
For some reasons Ryan would never
match with Needham after that, al
though many offers were made by
clubs throughout the country. Ryan
always found an excuse and Needham
was unable to do anything with him
after this contest. Needham also de-
feated Dutch Neal at Chicago in six
rounds, and George Grenninger in five
rounds at Cincinnati. From there
Needham went to Butte City, Mont,
and fought a forty-seven round draw
with Charley Johnson, and then beat
Tom Casey at st. Louis. All of the
contests were finish fights. Besides
this Danny has won over one hundred
decisions from men in limited bouts,
and has a record that stands almost
without an equal in boxing history.
Kid Mccoy has challenged the winner
of this contest, and both men agree to
take him on for either a limited num-
ber of rounds or to a finish.
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-10-06

Australian Billy Mccarthy in fifteen
rounds. Moore is yet a young man and
has lost none of his strength or
science. He has a good heart, and his
appearance in the ring assures large
crowd of sports.
The same may be said of his oppo-
nent Danny Needham, who has partic-
ipated in some of the best ring con-
tests on record. Danny was born in
st. Paul and his first appearance in
the ring was against Tommy Dam
forth. 1t resulted in g draw after ten
rounds of hard fighting. He then
sailed in and successfully defeated sew
eral well-known local men, among
them Jack Davis in six rounds, Joe
Bissan in five rounds. George Curtis
in two rounds and Jimmy Griffin in
eleven rounds, Harry Gilmore in twen-
ty rounds, winning the lightweight
championship of America from Gill
more. With that title Needham left for
the coast and his first appearance there
was with Billy Mahan, whom he
whipped in forty rounds. He met Ma
han again at San Francisco and de-
feated him this time in twenty-three
rounds. He next whipped Paddy Smith
in seventeen rounds at San Francisco,
and then followed his record-breaking
draw of 106 rounds with Patsy Kerri-
gan at Seattle, and on his return to st.
Paul he was matched to meet the ia
nous Thomas Ryan for the welter-
weight championship of America, he
having at this time left the lightweight
class. Here he sustained his first de-
feat after a hard battle lasting seven
ty-siX rounds. A second match was at
once arranged to occur at New Or
leans for a stake of $4,000 and $1,000
purse, but a few days before the con-
test was to take place Ryan took sick,

two, the latter must bear the dis
grace of victory. That both umpires
were bribed is probable; that one
of them was pecuniarily seduced cam
not be denied; and Aureliuss Cor
nelius CELSIUS will not rest more
peacefully in his first century
Roman tomb from the knowledge
that the medical profession owned
Umpire Wilkes, both body and soul.
The have beens" alone took part
in the first game-men who had made
long and noteworthy havoc among
the lives and fortunes of their fell
low citizens. No doctor was allowed
in this contest who could not ex-
hibit an engrossed copy of thanks
from the Oakland Cemetery associa-
ton, while no lawyer was available
for the encounter who had not been
at least mentioned for a railroad
attorneyship. Crawford Livingston
umpired the complication with dig
n1fied grace and an ivory whist
counter. The score was to 1 in
favor of the Gelatine Capsules. AL
though Lawyer Mum was convinced
that the umpire's decisions were un-
constitutional, and suggested the is
Suance of writ of quo warranto
for Mr.. Livingston to answer, to-
gether with a permanent injunction
against the score keeper, he based
his argument on the insufficient
ground that the umpire's family ply
sician had played with the medicine
nine
In the second game-that of the
"pennant winner" neither
doctors nor lawyers. 1t was played
by men who still retained their con-
science and their hair. Physicians
were they, and attorneys, the for
mer unsophisticated young per-
sons who have more regard for the
feelings Of the family than for the
results Of the autopsy; the latter
youths who someti y believe the
witnesses on the Cher side. Lou
Wilkes umpired this game. He was
not. a good umpire. He was hope
lessly prejudiced by his past phar-
macetical friendship for the men who
can give a prescription as quick as
they can cure patient. He allowed
the attorneys the game by a score
of II to II, while every man in the
Illegal combination knew and stated
that they ought to have white
washed the pill peddlers." The ref
erees were DR.. A. J. Stone and Judge
Charles A. Flandrau. They had
agreed, as DR.. Stone stated, that it
would be good legal and medical
practice to reverse the umpire" and
therefore they were not consulted.
1t was expected that few of the play
ers would survive the brutal pastime,
and therefore many prominent citizens,
their wives, and their daughters, as
sembled with happy faces to witness
the destruction of the twin enemies of
human life and purse. The grand
stand was filled with crowd that us
ually attends the regular league games,
nor were the bleachers without their
excited occupants. A touch of linger-
ing feminine sympathy was displayed
for the doomed men in the fact that
the colors of the respective teams fres-
coed the assemblage In red and blue.

But crime always flourishes for the
time being, and Mrs. Hoxie's swollen
yellow satchel, filled with her ill-gotten
gains, was carried away with a smile
of triumph that was almost piratical.
She was ashamed to confess how much

These played two innings, became
frightened at each others contortions,
and ran away. They made no score,
so there was none to keep. Umpire
Livingston gave the doctors three runs
for a probable consideration. He let
the lawyers have one run, to avoid
being mobbed.
