NOTES OF THE GAME.

Today Grand Rapids comes for a series of
three games. McGill will pitch for the locals.
There is some talk of a game with Indian
apolis next Sunday morning. The club has
five games to play here, three regularly
scheduled, one rain date and tie. 1t Is here
games scheduled for Monday, as it is Labor
day. Two games could be played Tuesday
and as the club will be playing regularly in
Minneapolis next Sunday afternoon If would
seem to be possible for them to play morn
ing game here that day, thus filling the sched-
ule. Both clubs are in such a position that
they want the game for their percentages.
The Millers have twenty-one games to pIay
away from home, while the Apostles have but
fourteen.
1t Is to be hoped that the Tigers will gnaw
some of the hard protuberances off Walter
Wilmot's conceit- Sic him, Tige.

lost his nerve. Roger has now seen games

1t is funny how far It goes.
The Tigers haven't eaten a single man

playing cleaner ball than was once the case.
Sammy Gillen does not seem to be hitting
the ball the way he was.
Egan got better support with the bat than
in the field. The local pitchers got plenty of
batting strength, but 1t did not come with
the results that the visitors got out of theirs.

Illinois Delegates Want to Make
Him the Nominee.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 3O.-Ex-Mayor
John P. Hopkins has been Industrious
ly working the boom for Henry Wat
tersOn, and says that he has received q
great deal of encouragement.
He says that the movement for a
third ticket was started by the Courier
Journal three days after Bryan was
nominated; that the object of the
movement is to get votes in the Middle
West. In this connection he claimed
that Watterson's lectures on Lincoln,
his speeches to the Union soldiers and
his general course for many years has
been such as to win many votes from
Bryan.
Then, again." added Mr.. Hopkins
1T is now only two months until the
election. That is a short time in which
to prepare for fight, and the cam
paign for our ticket will necessarily
be one largely of sentiment, and it
requires a man with that personal
magnetism that wins people to him.
1t is to be a campaign of education,
and we must depend largely upon the
newspapers to fight for u.s. 1t has
been demonstrated there is no one in
this country better suited to wage a
newspaper fight for principle than Mr.
Watterson. I think he will be the
strongest man in the states where we
expect to do good that the convention
can select. Illinois will probably not
take the lead in presenting his name
for the reason that we should prefer
his own state to do that I do not
even know our state will give him It's
entire vote, although there is little
doubt that our state convention would
have instructed for him, If q motion
or resolution to that effect had been
offered -

the rough field and fell. Holly made
three bases on it, and the locals were
pulling up. Spies single scored Holly
and Frickens two-bagger scored
Spies. Kraus was brushed by pitched
ball, but the umpire would not allow
it, and he flew out to Burnett mo-

score was Is to 10. Fricken gave the
first two Tigers bases on balls, and

hit to Gillen and went out, Glasscoek
being held at third. Shugarts single
scored one run, but Hollingsworth
gave Twineham a foul fly and the game
was done.

Gov. Flower, Of New York, has tele-
graphed his acceptance Of the post Of
temporary chairman and it is PRACTICAL
ly decided that Senator Caffrey, of
Louisiana, will be permanent chairman
of the convention.
Indianapolis as yet has not put on her
gala attire in anticipation of the In
vasion of the gold hosts. The entrances
to the two leading hotels are festooned
with bunting and the rotunda of the
Bates house is profuSeIy draped, but
beyond this the work of decoration has
not proceeded. The decorations of the
Bates house consist of profusion Of
American flags hung from the ball
comics over background of yellow
bunting. Cal portraits of Cleveland
Tilden, Stevens and Watterson in gilt
frames form the nucleus for the fes-
TONED drapery. This extends to the
american flags, the stars of which are
OF gold. The decorations Of Tomlinson
nall, where the convention will sit, are
about completed. In order to give the
public an opportunity to listen to the
oratory a mass meeting will be held
on Wednesday night which will be ad-
dressed by Col. John r. Fellows and
other prominent orators

the rounds today regarding the vice
presidential nomination indicates that

and in case Watterson should not be
chosen for the head of the ticket, 1t is
understood that an effort will be made
to have Buckner made the running
mate of the Northern nominee, no mat
ter whether he should be from the
East or West. All talk at the present
time regarding the candidates is large
ly speculative.
National Committeeman Krauthoff.
of Missouri, said tonight that the Mis-
souri, delegation will not urge Col.
Broadhead for vice president mainly
because the latter does not desire it.
Mr.. Krauthoff favors Gen. T. Cable
for permanent chairman of the ma
tional committee. He says there will
be meeting of the new national COM
mittee Friday, after the convention,
when full membership is expected
to be present, and that this will prob
ably be the only meeting of the COM
mittee during the campaign. SIT will
mittee to meet again. said he, tas
forty states are represented and the
distances are great. The probable re-
suit of the committee meeting will be
the selection Of an executive commit
tee Of fifteen from the central and
more accessible states, into whose
hands the entire campaign will be
placed. This executive committee can
then name a permanent chairman, or
can defer it for time"

MILLERs CAN'T LOSE.
Make 1t Three Straight From Gold
Bugs In a Slow Game.

1t was rather a tiresome game at Mime
haha yesterday, although Minneapolis won
handily, making it three straight with Grand
Rapids. Wilmots men yesterday put up
good game of ball. The Minneapolis team
further distinguished iself by making Is OF
its runs earned. The features of the game
were mostly Of the Minneapolis side. In the
fifth there were three visions on bases and
but one out. Figgemeier struck out Donovan
and then Hodge came to bat. He hit liner
that would have brought at least one man
home if it had not been that Figgemeier
proved phenomenon. The latter jumped
like fash and stopped the ball, putting it
to Werden at first in plenty Of time to
close the inning.
In the sixth inning Pickett distinguished
himself by one Of the greatest plays of the
season. Gilks hit a ball over second that
should have been good under any circum-
stances, but Pickett there, and got it
to first in time. The boy seems to be one of
the finest when playing with Minneapolis.
Schriver did several things besides catch.
Once he went into the crowd for foul and
he got it right in his nit. Then in the fourth
when Minneapolis working for a lead
it was Brother Schriver who paralyzed the
ball. allowing Wilmot and Preston to gallop
home. Besides this, the second Willie Bill
was credited with eight put-outs.
Minneapolis also had a great time steal
ing bases, nine being credited on the score
for the side. Score:

HARRITY WILL BE THERE.
Delegates to the Convention Are
Slow TO Arrive.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. &c.
Although the delegates have not put
in an appearance in any considerable
numbers, the list of delegates is being
made up by Secretary Wilson and will
be ready for the approval of the ma
tional committee, which meets on Tues
day. There will be representatives in
convention from nearly every state.
the exceptions being Idaho, Wyoming,
Nevada and one or two territories.
The delegations will probably arrive
in considerable numbers tomorrow, but
the majority of them are not expected
until Tuesday.
The announcement that William F.
Harrity. eX-chairman of the Demo-
cratic national committee was coming
with sixty-four delegates from Penn
sylvania has given the leaders of the
convention movement, now on the
ground, a great deal of satisfaction. It
is confidently asserted, that although
there can be no hope of success of the
ticket to be nominated here, there
will be very few proxies in the con-
vention and that the several states
will be fully represented.

KANSAS CITY, No., Aug. 30-The scores
of three games will go into the record as
having been played in Kansas City today be-
tween the Blues and Indianapolis though but
two were actually played. When "Billy''
CBrien ordered play to begin at 100, Indian
apolis refused to play with O'Brien as UNI
pire, though he had been regularly appointed
and OBrien gave the game to Kansas City,
3 to 0. In order to quiet the clamor of the
5000 spectators it was then agreed to PLAY
two games, with Players KneH and Cross as
umpires. Kansas City lost the first game
owing to costly errors. The second game
was magnificent battle between the onpos-
ing pitchers. Callahan who struck out seven
men. had somewhat the best of it, and the
Blues won. Scores:

little like the result of the first game might
have been different had the Wizard been

was made off him by McAleer, and 1t took
four innings to bring that forth. He struck
out exactly man in each inning and
the only harsh criticism to make Of his
work is that 1t had wildness which was
responsible for three bases on balls. AT
times, though, Hurst was unjust to him in
calling balls.
