WON BY BEN BRUSH.
Ornament Defeated in the Special
Race at GraVesend.


NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-There was big
crowd at Gravesend to-day, drawn by the
second special, in which Ben Brush and
Ornament were the only starters. There
was some delay at the post and then the
pair got away together The pace was very
slow at first, neither being inclined to set
the pace. They ran about length apart
down past the grandstand for the first time,
with Ben Brush in the lead. Around the
lower turn both went wide, but they
Strengthened out in the back stretch, with
Brush still iii the lead. both going easily.
Up to the upper turn there was no change
in positions. AS they rounded Ornament
went up alongside Brush, but in a few
strides the latter shot away, and, straight
ening out for home, had couple of lengths
the better of it. Then Simms took him In
hand and Taral drew up on the middle rail
with Ornament. Simms moved over to the
rail to prevent this, and urged the game
Dwyer horse a bit, to which the response
was speedy and Brush won easily by a
couple of lengths. Taral claimed foul,
but it was lot allowed The distance was
mile and one-quarter. and the time 2:lO.
The stewards of the meeting decided that
the claim Of l.. J. Baldwin to Howard Mann,
few days ago, was not good, and the horse
was sent to the stable of Roy Carruthers,
the original claimant.

Baltimore Takes the Lead Again by
Defeating Boston.

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 25.-It is again
nip and tuck" between the champions and
the BoStonians in the pennant race,
with the champions a scant nose in the
lead by virtue of having won to-day's
game With the finish in sight and but
four games left to play by the one club
and five for the other, a misplay of any
kind from this time on will probably cost
the maker of it the distinction of being
a member of the best baseball team on
earth and cause him to get smaller, in
stead of a larger, share of the Temple
cup" money. With this fact in view, it
is no wonder that the players on both
teams are straining every nerve to win,
and that the outcome of the contest is of
vital Importance to them and of in
tense interest to their partisans. Two of
the most exciting games in the history of
baseball have resulted from this condition
during the present series, and Monday
promises to bring another. Yesterdays
was nerve destroyer, and it brought joy
to the hearts of Boston's followers. To-
days was another, and. although the home
players We're never headed, not a soul on
the ground felt that the result was be-
yond doubt until the last man in the ninth
inning had been retired.
More than eighteen thousand people saw
to-day's game, and not one of that num-
Der would have missed it for a farm. All
buS about $50 Of them, who came from Bos-
ton and marched to the grounds with a
brass band, are supremely happy tonight
and each and every lover OF the game in
Baltimore is prepared to swear that there
never was such pitcher in the world as
Hoffer, for it was mainly by the superb
work of the wizard that the victory rests
with Peltimore. He batted well, flelded
splendidiy and pitched magnihcently, as
the score will show. So did Klobedanz, for
that matter, and not man of the eighteen
played badly, the game being practically
without errors. that of McGraw being quite
excusable, while the stick work was uni
formly good. Two plays which did not
figure as errors in the score cost runs,
however and one of them probably lost
the game for Boston. This was an effort
on the part of Collins to field nice little
bunt by McGraw down towards third base
1t might have rolled foul. but Collins acct
dentally kicked it while still in fair ground
and it went dozen yards or so into foul
territory, and Doyle and Hoffer scored on

a sorry lot, but they answered the purpose
There was only one clean drive among the

RAILS ACROSS THE ROAD.
Mrs. Henry HOhIt and SON Held Up
Near Oklahoma.

Mrs. Henry Hohlt, the wife of a re-
spectacle farmer living on the haywood
road. a mile and halt below the Eagle
creek bridge, was, with her son. young
man about seventeen years Of age, the VIC
tim of daring highway robbery committed
in the neighborhood of Oklahoma about
10 o'clock last night.
Mrs. Hohlt and her son drove into West
indianapolis early last evening to do some
trading. They started home between and
10 o'clock. When they reached a point
about half mile below Eagle creek, on the
haywood road, they brought up against a
pile or rails that had been thrown across
the roadway. A moment later they real
lied that the obstruction had been placed
there for a purpose. AS young Hohlt was
about to step from the buggy to remove
the rails two men sprang up from the road
side. Both men had pistols, and they thrust
the weapons uncomfortably close to the oc-
cupants of the vehicle Mrs. Hoht and her
son promptly threw up their hands at the
order of the highwaymen and were
searched for valuables. Mrs. Hohlt had
pocketbook containing 10 cents which the
money and the higkwaymen, evidently
angered at not finding him a profitable vic
tim, handled him roughly. The men then
disappeared in the darkness.
Mrs. Hohlt, terribly frightened, drove rap
idly home with her son and informed her
husband of the occurrence. The latter
jumped into the vehicle and drove back to
West Indianapolis, where he found Patrol
men Asche and Jones and told them the
story of the hold-up The police went at
once to the place where the robbery oc-
CURED and examined the ground. They
spent an hour searching about the neigh
borhoOd and were on the point of return
ing to town when they came across two
men sleeping near a straw stack. The men
had made comfortable hunks Of straw and
were wrapped in blankets. Near by was
horse and buggy The police awakened the
men and after quizZing them for while
decided to place them under arrest. One
of the men gave the name of Tilman ia
cobs. He says he is a farmer and lives
near Greenwood The police claim to know
him. They say he formerly lived here. The
other man gave the name of James jenkins
and his home on River avenue West lndi-
annapolis. The police say they are confident
these men held up the Hohlts. One Of the
prisoners had a revolver in his possession
v hen arrested. They claim they were driv-
ing through from Plainfeld. Both We're
charged with highway robbery.

John Werner, OF La Sale Street,

terday Morning.

A few days ago the Journal called at
tention to the demoralized condition of the
city police department and to the increas-
ing number of bold burglaries and hold
ups" The city and surrounding country
seems to be infested by a set of criminals
who boldly ply their vocation without Near
of the department Yesterday another dar-
ing hold-up and robbery occurred, similar
to the assault on William Koester dairy
man, Thursday morning. Yesterdays VIC
tim was John Werner, German dairyman,
living on La Sale street near Brghtwood
About 4;90 o'clock in the morning Werner
went to his stable. AS he entered the barn
a masked man thrust a revolver into his
face. The German struck at the man and
knocked him down. Then another man
came swiftly toward the German. Werner

newed the fight. He was again thrown
down and his hands and feet tied. He had
on his person wallet containing a small
amount of money, which he managed to
throw away. His aSsailantS found 10 cents
in his pocket, which they took and then
went TO the house and forced Mrs. Werner
to show them where a sum of money was
secreted. In a closet they found SO. While
the robbers were at the house Werner Sc
cured from his pocket knife, with which
he released himself. His cries of Murder!
Murder Thieves frightened the men and
they fled. AS soon as possible Werner came
to the police station and reported the rob-
berry to Acting Superintendent Quigley, who
detailed men on the case. Werner speaks
very little English In broken WY he de-
scribed his assailants. He said they We're

Bleached hair has so thoroughly gone out
of fashion even among the women of the

of chemical bleaches as follows: "Bleacued

Michael had for pacemakers four quads,

had five of the largest machines and one

having the best pace-making machines and
decidedly the best pacemakers. Lesna'
sextuplets seemed to be too unwieldy for

the contestants lined up the little Welsh

his Swiss opponent but each of them was
