Final Game at Milwaukee.


Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
MILWAUKEE, May 2S-Milwaukee won
to-days game from Indianapolis by a score
of II to 3, though at the outset it looked
as though Wolterss dinkey curves would
bring grief and disaster to Connie Mack
For four innings Wolters kept the Brewers
from making a hit, but in the fifth Stafford
lined out home-run drive over the left
field fence his fourth this week, and started
a fusillade that gave the locals a lead of
three runs they maintained easily till the
end of the game. Garrison was wild at
first and was hit rather freely, but re-
ceived splendid support, particularly from
Lewee and after the fifth inning hit
safely only once.
In the third inning Flynn reached first
on Myers's tumble, Foreman's bunt adj
vanced him to second and MOTIFS single
brought him home. Two runs were also
made by the Hoosiers in the fifth on Clark
sons gift of a base, Kahoe's triple and
wild pitch In their half the Mlwaukees
made six runs on Stafford's home run, a
base on balls Edstace's wild throw, Speers
grounder, two singles and Myerss double.
In the sixth they added three more to their
score on MOTIFS error Stewards tumble,
Lewee's single and NicoPs triple, and in
the eighth three singles by Lewee Speer
ard GARRISON aided by MOTIFS muff and
Weaver's long fly to Flynn gave them two
runs. Mcfarland and Nicol made star
catches in the outfied. In the first inning
Graves became i'll and Rettger and Phillips

CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind, May 2S.-The
county commissioners are preparing to
bring suit against ex-County Treasurer
Hutton demanding that he return to the
treasury $4,000, which amount he has been
found to be short The commissioners claim
that Hutton is back on his settlements
while Hutton has put in an offset for three
months back salary. He also claims that
he was charged with $4,000 back taxes of
the Big Four when he was treasurer, and
that this sum was not paid by the railroad
until after he retired from office. The COM
missioners however. can find nothing due
to the eX-treasurer. Experts have examined
the books ana claim $1,000 of the money
Hutton owes is the result of manipulating
the county funds.
