The Grand Rapids Players Unable to
Pull Out of Their Deep Hole.

Special to the Indianapolis Jotirnal
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May Sit re-
qured ten innings for Indianapolis to de-
feat Grand Rapids to-day, but the tenth
straight defeat for the home team was
administered, just the same. The game
was one of the prettiest ever seen on the
home grounds both teams doing the best
kind of work. Pitchers Gross and Foreman
were in good form, with. the exception of
the third inning, when Grand Rapids con-
nected with Foreman for four hits, good
for six bases. The hits were we'll scattered.
The fielding OF. Grand Rapids was fast and
clean, three double plays being made in
the second fifth and ninth innings, when
they were badly needed. The fielding of
the visitors was little ragged, but the err
rors were not very costly. Motz. the old
reliable first baseman, dropped two balls,
but neither of the Grand Rapids players
getting life in that way was able to score.
Grand Rapids showed poor judgment in
base running, especially Slagel, who was
caught at the home plate while trying to
score from the second station on Hatfelds
single in the tenth inning. This was dis
cCuraging to the fans, as it was a moment
of great suspense. Then again, in the Wis
tiers half of the tenth inning, Manassaus
decision in giving Iogriever a base on balls
called for storm of harsh criticism from
the bleachers. sf
In the first inning Campau was the first
man up for Grand Rapids, and ne had a
streak of good luck He hit a grounder
past Eustace and stole two bases, scoring
on the throwout In the third inning
Buckley led off with a single, Cross ad-
vanced him with a sacrifice and Campau
sent him over the plate with a three-bag-
ger. Gettingers single scored Campau, the
last run secured by the home team during
the game.
In the first inning Hogriever scored for
indianapolis. He hit safely and was adj
Vaced by McFarIand's sacrifice and scored
on a wild pitch by Cross In the fifth in
ming Stewart connected for two bases Ka-
hoe flew out to Gettinger and Eustace
brought in the run With hot single. Stew
art made the one run in the seventh He
was the first man up and found the leather
for two bases, scoring later on the throw
in of Eustace's fly out to deep center. The
winning run was made in the tenth inning
by Eustace after two men had been re-
tired He hit for single, was advanced by
Foreman's pretty sacrifice reached third
on the throw-in of McFarlands fy-out to
center and Scored on FIynns single At
tendance 500 Score.

Kemphfer, a painter aged thirty-eight
years 1t is rumored here that he commit
ted suicide in Terre Haute about three
months ago by drowning himself in the

where her brother lived previous to his GO
ing to Terre Haute, six months ago, and
while she was there a painter, who was
formerly a companion of Kemphfer's. told
her that her brother had killed himself
as described above. Neither the coroner
nor the local authorities at Terre Haute
have any knowledge of such an occurrence,
and the probabilities are that kemphfer IS
aged mother and other relatives are greatly

The opening of the ball season at Chicago
Tuesday was turned into an ovation TO An
son. Here is the way it was described in
one paper: I'VE can't lose the pennant
now" said the baseball enthusiast after
the Pame. Just returned from the ball
park. Great day for everybody. Eleven
thousand, three hundred and fifty people
welcomed Uncle Anse' home to-no, Uncle

hundred and-Well anyway, Uncle Anse'
got his silver and Jimmy Ryan and Bill
LANCE got flowers, and Uncle Anse' played
like four-year-old, and st. Louis only
got two runs against our five and Callahan
was a conqueror and Dahlem was daisy,
and the band played and Uncle Anse' made
a speech and everybody had a real nice
time" That is fairly comprehensive
statement of how the baseball season was
opened. "Anson day it surely was, every
thing and everybody for Arson.
The silver service, of which so much has
been heard, was presented ia pieces-count

Inat was encouragement to Arson to Keep

that he hesitates to tell his age. Arson
stood behind the bat and caught Callahans

reveled in these expressions of good fellow
ship from men who We're still making mud
pies when he had already become veteran
until his face glowed like the rising sun
and he felt almost young again. Under
the stimulus he even tried to steal a base.
And Anson's speech when the silver serv-

piece of oratory ever heard on a baseball
