How the Clubs stand.
MOSTLY A PITCHERS BATTLE.
Poor support in Closing Innings Took
Starch Out of Friend.


For seven innings yesterday it was
battle royal between, the pitchers. Then
poor support took the heart out of Friend
ard ne yielded to the inevitable. Goar's
work all through was gilt-edged, and when
he struck the side out in one, two, three
order in the eighth the crowd gave him an
ovation. Aside from the great pitching
there was one feature that fairly carried
the crowd away, and that was a sensa-
tional one-handed catch by Flynn in the
seventh. McVicker, who was first at bat
for Kansas City in that inning landed
square on a fast inshoot and the ball
started for the left-field fence. Flynn
made a great run for it, but was, seem
ingly just out of reach, when he turned
suddenly, stuck out his right hand and the
ball lodged in it. The crowd caught its
breath and then cheered the circus play,
while Manning, who was in the grand
stand exclaimed, Just look at that will
you? Talk about tough luck. Who is that
young fellow out there?" The catch was
certainly a remarkable one, and Flynn re-
, ceived plenty of attention when he came in
at the close of the inning. Had the ball
gone by him it was good for three bases,
and the catch saved one and possibly more
runs.
when indianapolis managed to get one.
With two out, Hogriever waited and
walked. He stole second and Grays hit
put him on third Then Gray started for
second and the ball went to Connaughton.
who dropped it, the error allowing
Hogriever to score. Gray, however was
caught on the line and run down. That
was the fate he anticipated. but had he
supposed Connaughton would muff the
throw he would have run on to second.
However, the run came in, and that is
what was wanted. Mcfarland started the
sixth with a hit to left, but was caught
trying to stretch it, and the next two men
flew out
Two men had been disposed of in the
eighth when Connaughton made bad
throw to first OF Gray's grounder. McFar-
land followed with a single to left, Motz
fees reach, and Kahoe with a safe one
down the left foul line three runs re-
sulting. Reilly few to Gettinger. In the
ninth, Stewart hit slow one to Con-
before Menefae got the ball. Flynn got
single to center and Goar sacrificed.
Hogriever hit to Connaughton, who threw
wide to the plate, Stewart scoring.
on Gray's grounder to Connaughton, who
managed to throw Flynn out at the plate.
Gray stole second and the ball went down,
only to be fired back as Hogriever broke
long slides. Mcfarland hit a safe one be-
tween first and second which Menefee
managed to partially stop Delehanty got
the ball and threw so badly to the plate
that Gray scored. Motz struck out.
Delehanty saved his team from a shut
out in the last half. He opened with a line
drive to right for two bases went to third
on Connaughtons out at first and scored
On McVicker's single to center. Gettinger
hit to Goar and pretty double play ended
the game. Score:

Associnted CNcling CInhs.

1t is probable that indianapolis will soon
have an associated cycling club" The
nucleus for such association has already
been formed in the appointment of COM
mittees of two to represent the various
clubs to arrange for the disposition of the
loving cup given by the. New Brunswick
Tire Company to the Outing Club to be
contested for by the various clubs of the
city 1t is the intention of each club to
appoint two members to serve on the joint
committee. After the trophy race has been
settled, it is proposed that the members of
the committee continue to act as delegates
from their respective clubs, and thus be-
come a central organization similar to the
associated cycling clubs of other cities.
There is much work for such an organi-
cation if bicycle club existence in Indian
apolis is to be q fact. 1t begins to look as
if cyclists were to take more interest in
clubs and club work and club life, and
doubtless the central organization will be
needed. It can work in connection with the
l.. A. WIS local organization in the lat
ter's proposed effort for the protection of
wheelmen, and can take hold of the annual
road race which the Zigzag Club has made

to see mounted on the speakers desk a
curious machine that looked like Calling

the machine to be a Photographic camera

fore the House was called to order a, clerk
arose to announce that by permission of
the speaker local photographer would
take some views of the interior of the
chamber. Only one photograph was taken,
however, for at the first trial the interior
of the apparatus went wrong, There was
a crash of glass and wall of grief from
the operator. The Republicans said that
the negative refused to become a party to
any fraud on the country by taking an
impression of the Democratic side of the
House without its honored leaders in the

ATLANTA, Ga, June 1.-THE bad feel

soldiers of the Fifth Infantry at Fort Nc
Pherson, has reached a serious stage, and
one which is likely to bring that much
talked-of garrison once more before the au-

post furnishes magnificent place for BIZ
cycle riding, and hundreds of riders have
been in the habit of visiting ii daily The
officers and men of the regiment did not
out in force as usual and one of them was
Cicero Hopkins, the son of a wealthy
widow. While riding by one of the guard
houses the sentry stepped out and ordered
him gruffiy to ride slower Hopkins retorted
that he was riding slowly but the sentry
sprang in front of him with extended bay
onet ana the next instant the blade was
buried in the young mans groin. He fell
from his wheel with glood gushing from
hospital where DR.. Blair Taylor who fig
ured so prominently in the Romeyn-O' Brien
court-martial, attended him. His injury
was so serious owing TO a great loss of
blood and he was attended constantly I'M
til morning, when he grew stronger To-
night he is reported to be much improved.
