Cleveland. a brother of President Cleve-
land, who has two sons living in this city.

preparatory to taking up his residence here.
Mr.. Cleveland comes from Chaumont, JEFF

and comes to Cleveland because, as
he says. his two sons live mere, and for
the reason that he has a sister living at
Toledo and another near relative in the
north central part of the State. Mr.. Cleve-
land was loath to talk politics when seen
by a reporter. Il have always been a

said, but this year-1et me see--I lose my

How the Clubs stand.
SECOND GAME ALL RIGHT.
The Blues Were Almost Shut Out in
This Contest.

This Contest.
Indianapolis ought to have taken both
games from the Blues yesterday. The first
one ran along beautifully for five innings,
and then jumped the track. Damon, who
had been pitching great ball, suddenly re-
versed his form, and then it was all over.
Besides interfering with two or three
grounders and thus turning easy infield
chances into hits, he pitched himself into
several holes and when he had to put them
over-"biff, and away went the game. 1t
is true that his fifth-inning act of striking
out three men with the bases filled
a wonder, but that cannot make up for the
shortcomings of the following inning.
Neither team played very good ball, great
stop by Hatfield in the eighth inning being
the fielding feature. Carney was as trouble
some when with the Millers. Watkins's
men could not hit him, and scattered their
six hits through four innings, most of their
runs being due to errors. Had Stewart
played a trifle faster in that sixth inning
he would have saved two or three runs.
The second game was all right, and the
Blues were nearly shut out. Chauncey
Fisher had them hypnotized of yore,
and they couldn't place them safe. Indian
apolis had more success with Callahan than
usual, hitting him hard enough to earn
five of the six runs. Shannon and Williams
made a couple of beautiful stops and these
together with Hogan's catch of Campau's
fly in the fourth inning, and McVicker's
catch of Shannons drive in the fifth were
the fielding features. The playing was
clean and fast for the most part, the errors
cutting no figure in the result.
THE FIRST GAME.
Indianapolis was the first to score. Will
liams opened the second with double, and
scored on Stewards single. In the fourth
Williams walked to first, Stewart sacrificed
him to second, Carney fumbled Woods
bunt, and Hogan hit vicious one to third.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Sept. 16-For the first
time in its history the Pittsburgs We're shut
out twice in one afternoon. The miser-
able work of Hastings in the first inning
of the first game demoralized the home
players so much that they could not re-
cover. Hughey relieved Hastings and did
well. The second game was lost by inabil-
ity of the Pirates to hit Dwyer at the
right time. The Reds punched hits on
HawIey in the third, getting four of their
five hits and earned three runs. Sheridan
was jeered by the crowd for making what
were called rank decisions and after the
