Gray, Mccarthy and NewaII Practic-
ing at the Park.


Gray and Mccarthy are home from Mil
waukee. They returned yesterday morn
ing, and Mccarthy and Jack Newall, who
also arrived from the East about the
same time put in the forenoon practicing
at the ball grounds 1t is a mystery why
Mac went to Milwaukee, as he must have
known he could not use his injured leg free
~ enough to take part in a game. Gray'S
hand was badly hurt by a pitched ball in
the last Minneapolis game. Phillip who
was pitching for the Millers, was very
wild, and, while lodging one that threat
ened to knock his head off, Gray threw his
hand up, and the ball-a swift inshoot-
struck him near the base of the little
finger. A ST Paul surgeon could not tell
whether a bone had been broken. owing to
the swelling. The hand is much better, but
it still badly swollen, and it is likely the
bone was fractured. Gray will be unable
to get a good grip on bat for several
days to come. He will be ready to go in
next Tuesday, when the team comes home
Mccarthy will spend most of his time at
the grounds, working out the soreness in
that leg, and thinks he can use 1t all right
by next Tuesday With these two men
back on the team Indianapolis should be
able to make a great record on the home
grounds beginning next week
NeWall is looking as natural as II he had
never left Indianapolis. He may play here
for some time, or he may not. If he joins
the team on the trip it will probably be at
Kansas City Saturday.

Baseball Notes.

Billy Gray saw the electric game for the
first time at the Grand yesterday and was
greatly interested in its workings
1t is not often that a player who, not
credited with time at bat" scores two
runs. 'Dibby' Flynn, however, did it yes
terday.
The Milwaukee papers are regretting the
loss of John White, the Indianapolis player
who was let out by Connie Mack when he
took hold of the Brewers this season.
Mcfarland tried hard to make it a home
run in the third inning yesterday, but was
caught at the plate after driving in two
runs ahead of him. His dummy at the
Grand was cheered enthusiastically as the
gong rung three times.
Manager Arthur Irwin is on his way from
Toronto to Baltimore and Philadelphia to
look for players for the Toronto team He
has already secured Pitcher Castor, who
will report in Buffalo and he will also sign
another pitcher. an intielder and a catcher.
Milwaukee fails to see wherein lies the
great ability of Thomas as pitcher, as he
has no change of pace and does not move
easily in the box. He has a good supply
of strength but his days are numbered
when his speed decreases, so the Brewers
believe.
ters in the business. They quit Tuesday
after the first inning-quit and never
opened their heads until they saw chance
TO tie the score. The chance was pounded
into obscurity in about a minute and the
silence in the Minneapolis end of the grand
stand was simply dense.-Milwaukee Jour
nal.
To-day and tomorrow the Indianapolis
team will play it's last games at Milwaukee.
They will be shown at the Grand as fast
each play is made, beginning at $3.50
On Saturday and Monday Kansas City will
be the attraction at the Grand, two games
being played Monday, at TO a. and p. m.
Both teams leave for this city at O'Clock
that evening.
Here's one for Manassau: The players
of the st. Paul and Grand Rapids teams
are angry at the manner in which they are
addressed by Umpire Manassau. He or
ders them about as If they were taking
part in a kennel exhibition, and they won't
have it. This explains why there was so
much jawing at the man yesterday. He
could adopt more polite way of speaking
and secure much better results. PoIteness
is never without its good effects, even on
the ball field.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Buck Ebright was the whole thing in
the game Yesterday In the fifth Connie
Mack was coaching from tie third-ba

box. Mr.. Ebright ordered him 10 the bench

The National Game.

1t is the lightsome baseball time
The joyous Saturday
The pubic comes in eager droveS
To see the desperate fray.
From north and south, and east and west,
They rush, the braVest and the best,
And dig the shekel from the vest,
The entrance fee to pay.
The people pack the sumptuous stand,
The bleachers, too are jammed-
In clouds the peanut husks are thrown,
The cushions gayly slammed.
Terrific sounds the loud acclaim,
Like trumpet blast of deathless fame,
Come out ye dubs and start the game
Ws'd see the leather lammed!'
The teams come marching on the field
The catcher takes his stand
A massive glove is tightly braced
Upon his horny hand
In sooth. a mighty man is he
He throws to second fast and free
And catches strike-outs twenty-three
The opposing gang have famed.
The pitchers ready at the slab
His hands are vast and red
He sends the shoots on which, ere long,
The batsmen shall be fed.
He hears the wild and frantic shout,
Hey, Billy, strike them googoos out!'
And then his curves twist round about
The startled batsman's head.
on goes the sport-the frantic mob
Applaud each two-b6se blow,
The gay passed ball the rotten mun
And exc the glass-arm throw.
The merry PLAYERS scrap and grin
An3 spike each other in the shin,
While the hot grounder busts the fin
And causes squawks of woe.
It's done. The ninth hot rounc is past
The sa ddened wd is sore
They reason why the home club lost,
And seek the umpire's gore.
He. canny mortal, takes to fight
And, shrCuded in the gathering night,
Soon passes from the chasers sight
Next day TO dodge some more.
