CYCLE RACES TONIGHT.
Pretty Fight ON for the indianapolis
Medals.

The third race meet of the Capital City
Cycle Club will be held this evening at the
track near the fair grounds. The pro-
gramme will consist of five events. All of
the local riders with the exception of
Craig. are entered. The fight for the In
dianapolis championship medal is waxing
warm Under the conditions made by the
club the medal, which is valued at $780,
will become the property of the Indianapo-
lis rider who wins the greatest number OF
first prizes on the Capital City track dur
ing the present season. Alex. Craig is now
in the lead, having won two hrsts at the
opening meet of the club. At the last meet
Jacob Stienmetz first place in the
race for the medal and he is very anxious
to even up Craig's record Tom David
who did some sensational riding at the
had cbaness fa 5 Boad nd RRpe & has b not M
evening he is entered against Stienmetz
in the same race and there Will be. a lively
scramble between the two. While David
carried off nearly all the honors on the
Broad Ripple track Monday he was hard
pushed in several of the races by Stienmetz
and the latter says that he can go faster on
a hve-lap track than the winner of Mon
days races There is no love lost between
these two men and any race in which they
are entered means fight from start to
finish.
Taylor. the coored rider who did such
sensational work on the track last Wednes-
day evening, will give another exhibition
tnlS evening he claims tnat he can make
track record of two minutes five-lap
track, and is going to make an effort TO
do it. Everything is i'm Taylor's favor for
his trial. He is in the pest of condition
and has been steadily practicing during
the past week. He is little rider and rides
close to his wheel This enables him to
make the turns in good style, and he does
not have to lose any time in taking the
outside. of the track. Taylor says that II
is simply question of pacing, and il the
men in front of him go fast enough. he
will break all records for five-lap track.
He Will also go unpaced fifth to beat
his own record of :23 3-5, made last Wednes-
day.
The transportation facilities will be much
better than any of the other meets. The
street railway company has promised a
five-minute service. There was good deal
of complaint this score al the last meet
and many people who wished to attend the
meet were unable to do so. The club win
give a big race meet next week during the
State fair. Races will be held Wednesday.
Thursday and Friday evenings. and all of
the crack amateur riders of the State will
be here. Manager Clemens has sent out
entry blanks and several prominent riders
who have met the local cracks In COM
petition this season from other towns have
written that they will be here One fea-
ture of the meet next week will be three
match races between Taylor and A. s.
Stewart. of St Louis, who styles himself
the champion colored rider Of the world.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 5. = The Saints
finished the season the home grounds
to-day by breaking even on two games
with Indianapolis. Both were good exhibit
tions of baseball, and q casual spectator
would not have known that the two teams
were the same ones that played yester-
day. The locals won the first game, in
spite of the fact that Fisher was in the
box. In fact, it may be said that Fisher
gave the game away In the eighth in
ming, with the score three to one in favor
of the visitors, Fisher gave Burns base
on balls purposely rather than take
chances of his hitting the ball. Burnss
free base filled the bags. Krauss was the
next man up, and he drove the first ball
pitched over the fence for a home run.
scoring four and winning the game. Fish
er pitched good ball. He kept the few hits
which he allowed we'll scattered. except in
the eighth inning. Several times good hits
would have scored runs but he refused to
allow the ball to go outside of the diamond.
The visitors played errorless game in
the field, and Hogan and Mccarthy did
some almost sensational work. Larry
Twitchell did the umpiring and was very
bad. He made at least a dozen decisions
wrong. In the second inning he made
very bad decision first base, and Ho-
griever told him that he drunk. He
was at once fined and put out of the game,
Kellum going to the field.
The visitors scored one run in the third
inning on a bunt which Hogan beat to
first, a single by Fisher, sacrifice by
Shannon and a pretty steal over the plate.
In the seventh two more were scored
After MOTIFS out on a fly, Hollingsworth
juggled Shiebeck's grounder and he scored
long three-base drive by Stewart.
Wood rolled the ball across the diamond
and Stewart was called out at the plate
although he was safe foot. Wood took
second on a wild pitch, third on a passed
ball and scored on an error by ORourke
The Saints scored one in the third three
clean singles and five in the eighth on two
bases on balls, three singles. a sacrifice,
two-bagger and Krauss's home run. Score
