both Louisville and ST. Louis a short time
ago. and was highly satisfactory. In

families out of 1913 refused the information

president, who has selected a supervisor
for each voting precinct. These supervisors

with confidence, and it was apparent that
he possessed a great deal of the science
of the game. but Hale appeared the
stronger of the two. Neither of the partic-
ipants could tell just how the first bout
ended. They had been wrestling for TWEEN
ty-four minutes, and Schumacher was blow
ing hard, for he had worked fast and hard.
He forced Hale into bridge, but in so
doing lost his hold and the bridge was
formed with Hale on top holding Schu-
that position, exhausting his wind, when
he weighted his shoulders to the mat. The
applause which followed made a lusty din,
yelled and cheered. Men waved
their hats and several umbrel-
las were thrown into. the air. Schu-
macher arose from the mat smiling and Of

he appeared for the second bout, he was
more aggressive than ever, and Hale was

was on the mat most of the time. After

lowed surpassed in vigor that which fol-
lowed the first bout. Men jumped over the
orchestra pit and climbed on the stage. A
crowd surrounded Hale and patted and
slapped him, firing him more than had

HOLSTERS MADE SIX
THESE SIX WE'RE A GREAT MANY
AGAINST A -EAaI LIKE CLEVELAND.
Few More Runs Scored
to Their Credit.

The Hoosier boys were simply outclassed
yesterday and lost the game by a score of
to by the superior playing abilities of
the National Leaguers. 1t could hardly be
expected that Mr.. Watkinss aggregation
could win game from such team as the
Clevelands and they are to be congratulated
for piling up six runs against such odds
Mcfarland showed up in the best of condi-
ton and his playing indicated that after
this year, Western League company will
be too slow for him. He is not only good
catcher, but is probably the best batter in
the team. He made the prettiest hit of the
game yesterday. 1t was long drive directly
over the shortstop's head and too swift for
outfielder to reach it. The ball struck
the ground within few inches of the north
fence and was good for three bases, bring
ing in Mccarthy, who had just secured first
on an error of Mexican. The game was de-
void of any grandstand plays either side,
both sides doing some good work and. at
times, some poor playing. Caravan redeemed
himself for the errors he made Saturday
by several fine plays. including an excellent
stop of bail thrown to second by Cross.
The Hoosiers began the game in way to
make the bleachers howl with delight. One
run was secured and Mcfarland knocked a
three-bagger before the side was retired.
The fans were in high spirits and expected
the boys to continue the good work to the
end. Four innings were played then with
out a run and with only two hits being
cured. In the meantime nine runs had been
scored by the visitors. 1t looked then as if
Netherlands three-bagger had saved a shut
out. The visitors did no better though, after
the fourth inning securing runs and only
two hits. In the sixth inning, errors by Nc
Carr and Chds. two bases on balls and a
life were good for four runs for the home
team. In the seventh inning the visitors put
in Young, the crack pitcher of the team.
He did not prove so effective as was ex-
pected. Two hits and two bases balls
were good for one run, which was the last
next inning but in the last the HOLSTERS
were retired without getting the ball out
