indianapolis Laid Its Losses Here
to Heavens Blue.
The Indianapolis News accounted for the
games here thus:
The old Minneapolis grounds, aptly de-
scribed as the collar-box or handbook were
the target for all of the base ball writer's
in the Western league, but they were not in
the same class with the field in ST. Paul
Let the Indianapolis eranks imagine large
sized coffin and they will have a good idea of
Aurora park. The field is shaped to resemble
the most important part of a funeral and
that field has sounded the death knell of
many base ball club that has visited this
city. The grounds are disgrace to the
league and 1t is an outrage to compel any
club to play them. 1t is less than ninety
feet from first base TO r1ghtfied fence Think
of 1.-THE distance from the bag to the fence
is less than from home plate to first base
Left field is just little better-not much
as 1t Is scarcely 100 OBJECT to where the foul
post Is erected. Mccarthy. Hogan and Ho-
griever all stand in line, and can come
pretty nearly shaking hands with each other.
The grounds run back over 500 feet and
ball once past the felders is pretty nearly
good for home run. Not only are the
grounds narrow, but they are also rough.
The diamond is skinned, but back where
the infielders stand, it rises over a foot and
ball has about much chance of hitting
a player in the head as it has of striking his
hands 1t is an even bet either way The
outfeld Is even worse-rough is no name for
1t. The players fall into holes, climb up and
down HILL slide down ravines on dogfennel
and get tripped up in the long grass. In
fact, the condition Of the st. Paul park is
something frightfuI. There will be no legiti-
mate ball played here until Charley Comiskey
gets new grounds He said last night that
he intended to have a new park next season.
The next trouble in ST. Paul is the sky
Now Comiskey is not supposed to control
the sky, and he is excused for any vagar-
les of the atmosphere, but the sky in ST Paul
is something awful. The average base ball
crank does not know what high sky means.
but ball player does. A rarifed atmosphere
and broiling hot sun will make the sky look
miles high. The instant a ball gets above the
grand stand and in the sun it is lost and
the fielder has to judge where it will light by
the sound when it hits the bat He does not
see the ball again until it drops below the
stand, and then, if he is not directly under
1t he will make a stab, and nine times out of
ten miss it. But then Comiskey has promised
the league new grounds, and this high sky
will be forgiven if he only fulills his part
of the agreement ~

ually orders were given to put out the
disturbers of the peace, and something
like order was once more restored, and
the debate was resumed. After further
speeches for and against the admission
of anarchists, it was agreed that
properly accredited anarchists, includ-
ing Louise Michel should be permitted
to be present at the debate. After
several hours of additional discussion,
the congress, voting by nationalities,
upheld the Zurich resolution by 10 IL
to 21z, the effect of which is to exclude
anarchists from the convention. Dur
ing the voting there was another scene
of the greatest excitement Fierce
shouting and yelling, mingled with
scuffling and threatening, prevailed
among the foreigners and probably
served as much as anything else to
harden the hearts of the Englishmen
against admitting the anarchist ele-
n1ent to the deliberations of the con-
gress.
When the congress reassembled after
lunch the members of the American
section objected to the presence of a
delegate from the New York Hack
Owners union, on the ground that the
latter belonged to the middle man
class. The delegate protested against
this treatment, reminding the assem-
blage that he had come $500 miles to
vote, and claiming that the members
of the New York Hack Owners union
were working men, as they drove their
own cabs. He also threatened to go
back to the United States and tell the
people there how he had been treated.
After further discussion, it was decid-
ed, amid cheers to admit this delegate
and the congress again adjourned amid
disorder arising from the question

ANARCHISTS BARRED.
Denied Admission to the London
Socialist Congress-

LONDON, July 2S.-The international
Socialist and Trades Union congress
resumed it's session today at st. Mar
tins town hall, with Herr Singer, the
well known German socialist and mem
Der Of the reichstag presiding. The
credentials of all the delegates who
presented themselves were closely
scrutinized at the door. and several
were rejected and the bearers denied
admission. The English section de-
cided to exclude anarchists This ac-
ton no sooner became known to the
anarchists outside than they became
furious with rage and after fiery re-
marks from their leaders, they made a
combined rush for the doors of the
hall, overturned the doorkeeper and
poured into the galleries in spite Of all
opposition. This caused a repetition
of the exciting and stormy scene Of
yesterday. Tom Mann and James Kier
Hardie, the English labor leaders.
spoke in favor of at least admitting
Herr Hindman. Their remarks were
wildly applauded by the anarchists
Other English labor leaders made
speeches against admitting the anarch-
lists. This brought forth a storm of
disapproval from the latter during
which few blows and many angry
words were exchanged among the
foreigners who could hardly be pre-
vented by the more peaceful men from
engaging in general free fight. Event

was full of delicate nurses. and with
the run of Is, much similar, was as
line an exhibition of scientific billiards
as could be asked by the most fastid-
ious lover of the gentlemans game.
Harrlson's masses were brilliant and
his game throughout was beyond
doubt the fastest ever seen in this sec
ton OF the country. Harrison's work
has improved greatly since the recent
tournaments began. His touch. and es-
pecially in the play of the last two
evenings, is shown to be exquisite
and with it's perfection, his former
command of the fine points of the
game promise complete mastery of
it. He was a little off stroke during
the first part of Monday evenings
play. but settled down and played what
was then esteemed a fine game, but
which in the light of last nights
achievement pales into insignificance.
Capen played in the intermissions,
but there were not many intermis-
sions. He had only accumulated a to-
tai of Is when the nights play was
finished. The result was that his chief
usefulness was to keep Harrison from
playing off his own leaves Oh failures.
With the handicap that Harrison has
shortened, nothing short of phenome-
nal play will bring Capen up within
reach of the leader, but Capen is game,
and announces his intention of stay
ing in the race until the finish. Play
will be resumed this evening.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 2S.-The
leaders in the Western league race did
battle today. st. Paul won, but the
game was protested by Manager Wat
kins. In the fifth inning the game
was called because of rain. Burns was
at bat and Kraus on second, with one
man out Two balls had been pitched
to Burns and he is said to have struck
at both of them. The players left the
field, and when play was resumed, and
Burns marched to the plate, Umpire
Strouthers called two balls. Buckley
and Stewart Immediately made obJec-
lions, but Strouthers stood pat. Stewart
was fined $40 in all for questioning the
decision. The st. Paul players who
had been fined by Strouthers ''kfdded"
him about his decision after Burns had
walked to first and at the close OF the
inning The decision gave the Saints
the opportunity to gain what proved
to be the winning run. Denzer pitched
great ball, as did both Dammann and
Davis, considering they had wet ball
to handle and a muddy field for their
support to contend with. heavy
shower came just previous to the game,
as we'll as in the fifth inning. Spies was
fined $25 and ordered off the field for
questioning a decision on strike and
using obscene language. Glasscock,
Pickett, O'Rourke and Shugart were
also fined. ST. Paul was the first to
score.
In the third inning Glasscock led off
with two Dagger and Kraus scored
him with a single, Hogriever throwing
badly to the plate. George then con-
nected for two Dagger to left, scoring
Kraus. Burns sacrificed and Pickett
and Shugart retired, leaving George at
third. In the fifth Davis went in to
pitch Wood having batted to Dammann
in the home clubs half Of the inning
Davis gave Kraus his base on balls
and George sacrificing, advanced him
to second. Rain interfered. On resump-
ton of play, Burns was presented with
his base when, it is said, he should
have been called out on strikes, Pickett
struck out. Shugart tapped single
to left center which Hogan and Nc
earthly let drop between them and
Kraus scored. Mullane got base on
balls, but Denzer flied to Stewart To-
wards the close of the game 1t began
to look as though Indianapolis was to
be given her first shut out, but in the
ninth Mccarthy banged the ball to
right center for a base to open the in
ming. Motz was thrown out by Shu-
CART, Stewart planted a single in right
and Mullane fumbled, Mccarthy scor-
ing. Sheibeck's single placed Stewart
on third. Shannon hit to Shugart, who
fumbled, but beat Sheibeck to second,
Stewart scoring. Hogan struck out,
ending the game. Score:

COLUMBUS o., July 2S.-Columbus kept
up its wonderful winning streak today by
disposing of the Millers in easy style on a
slippery field. Wilmot realized that Columbus
was no snap on account of the recent VIC
tories aver the Saints, and before the game
started, admitted that he would be; we'll sat
tshed if he managed to take one out of the
series. At the gait the Senators have started
out it is extremely doubtful whether the
Millers will come close to winning, and il
they do succeed in taking one, they will know
that they have been in a ball game before
the game is over. Columbus is now as
strong any Of the teams, and it is no dis
grace to a nine to fall before them. The
Minneapolis cast-offs, Frank and Strauss,
were very much in evidence from the time
the game was commenced, and the hitting
of both men as well wonderful running
catch by Strauss in the fifth inning were
features of the game, and went long way
toward winning the contest The game was
won in the first inning, when Latham led off
with single, Frank hit for two bases,
Sharpe made a safe drive and Wilson sent
one down the third base line for two bases
netting two earned runs. In the fourth
Strauss and Hassamaer each made two-bag-
gers, the latter being retired by allowing q
safe hit by McGreevy to hit him on the leg

as he was running to third. Frank drove
one to right field for a base and Sharpe
hit for two bases, thus adding two more
runs. Lally was given a base on balls in
the visitors half, went to second on a. sac
rif1ce hit by Wilmot, moved up another
corner on Schriver's sacrifice and scored
Werden's out in center field. The Millers
did not get man to third base after that
until the ninth inning, when a double by
Wilmot and single by Schriver made it
look like runs, but Hassamaer's fast double
play when Werden hit to first cut off all
chance. as Preston flew out to Frank. Four
hits in rapid succession, two bases on balls
and fifth hit gave Columbus five runs in
the ninth. The score:

Friday. The dissolution is asked for on the
ground that the petition does not state facts
sufftcient to constitute a cause for a tenn
porary restraining order, but only discloses
that the plaintiff has facts which disclose that
there is complete and adequate remedy in a
suit for damages. The petition asks the court
