GOOD WORK BY FIELDERs.
Twelve Put-Outs by the HOOsier "Big
Three" and No Errors.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 16.-There was some
heavy batting done at Nicollett Park to-
day that shows in the score in the out
fielders' putouts. Mcfarland, with his
seven accepted chances, did the feature
work for the visitors and Letcher and
Miller warmed the hearts of the local fans.
The star catch, however was Miller's only
chance. There were three visitors on the
bases in the seventh, and Motz put long
drive into right field that should have been
good for three runs and two bases for the
batter, but Miller made a long run and
caught the ball with one hand about a foot
above the ground. 1t was a beauty, and
the fans went wild.
The visitors scored in the second on
single by Motz, Kahoe's sacrifice and Stew
arts single. In the fourth Stewart again
singled Flynn hit to Eustace, who threw
wide TO first, and Foreman brought both
runners home with a pretty double. In
the fifth the Millers scored their only two
runs. Deadly singled and Foreman sent
Ball four wide ones. Boyle flew out to Nc
Farland and Hutchinson cleared the bases
with a two-bagger. The visitors finished
their scoring in the eighth. Kahoe singled,
Kuehne fumbled Stewards slow grounder,
Flynn advanced both runners on his sacri-
flee and Foreman again did the necessary
with a hit for a base The score.

AN AUCTIONEER'S ATTEMPT.
l.. n. Perry Took Morphine and Lay
Down at Fairview.

Lorenzo N Perry. one of the best-known
auctioneers in the city, attempted suicide
last evening at Fairview Park by taking
morphine He is seventy years Old and
a member of the firm of McCurdy & Perry.
Several children are living, but all reside
out Of the city. About year ago his wife
became insane and was taken to the Cen
trail Hospital. This fact coupled with his
advancing age and loneliness, is supposed
to be the cause of his effort to end his ex-
istence. His partner, Mr.. McCurdy had
often heard him remark that when a man
got old and useless the best thing he could
do was to quietly get out of the way, but
meant.
About o'clock last evening one of the
park policeman found the old gentleman
apparently asleep on one of the benches,
and shook him to awaken him. He asked
him if he knew where he was, and he re-
piled drowsily that he knew perfectly well;
The Waterman went on his rounds, and
upon returning half an hour later found
Mr.. Perry again apparently asleep, and this
time he could not arouse him: he called
for assistance and they carried him to the
boathouse When they laid him down there
his breath seemed to stop, and they tele-
phoned to Undertaken Whitsett. Before the
undertaker's wagon arrived, however, they
succeeded in resuscitating him somewhat.
He was brought in to the City Dispensary,
where the physicians worked upon him all
evening. and succeeded in saving him.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
l desire to express my appreciation Of
an editorial in Sundays Journal concern
ing the department of sociology in the Uni
versity of Chicago. The time is fast APP
preaching when there will be a clash be-
tween public opinion and the teaching of
German socialism in our UNIVERSE
ties. The cases of Prof. Bemis, of Chicago
University, and President Andrews, of
Brown, are cases in point. The claim mace
by the members of the faculty of Brown
that the dismissal of Prof. Andrews was
only evidence of this growing antagonlsm
between SocialiSt1c tendencies imported
from Germany on one side and vigorous
American common sense on the other. Free
exercise and expression of thought has
never been tolerated until exact knowledge
establishes the truth of science, and such
truth has not been established in current
theories of socialism. The boosted liberty
of the professors of our colleges extends
only to the opinions they cherish among
themselves. / know from experience that
it is more difficult to get a hearing for
new ideas among college professors than 1t
is in other places. 1t is the fashion with
our leading teachers of political economy
to require the faculty to spend from two to
tive years in German universities to COM
plete their economic training. There IS
something very seductive and alluring to
the college professor in military socialism
as taught by the German school of econo-
miSts. 1t is expected by them that when
the sOcialistic commonwealth is naugu-
rated the direction of the affairs of state
will fall naturally to those who have had
a thorough training in socialistic philoso-
ply. What could be more attractive to
these college professors, without practical
experience, than the idea that they them
selves are soon to become the chosen lead
ers of men and arbiters of the world?
What theory is more seductive, than the
theory that promises to place the control
of the state in the hands of college pro-
fessors? What vanity could resist the i'm
plication that they are not more able than
other men to govern best? The very fact
that they know least about social affairs is
the reason they should think themselves the
most able to manage society The pro-
fessors of sociology have no use for facts
in their wider significance. They deal quite
cleverly with the few facts that may agree
with some theory they have adopted. When
a new theory has been presented to them,
based upon all the facts, have had them
acknowledges it's great Importance to So
ciety. acknowledge that the IDEA had never
been thought of before, so far as they
knew, and. instead of giving the theory a
hearing TO discover its truth or error, they
rejected it, fearing il may Re true and dis
countenance all their teaching.

CANADIAN YACHT WON.
Mono Defeated i'm the Second Race
for the ChnIIenge Cun

MONTREAL, Aug. 16.-Glencairn II, the
Canadian defender. defeated Mono, the
American challenger, in the second of the
series of races to-day for the Seawanhaka-
Corinthian challenge cup. The weather con-
ditions to-day We're the reverse of those
Saturday, stiff breeze blowing from fifteen
to twenty miles an hour, and the Canadian
boat fulfilled the expectation that had been
reposed I'm her as being the better heavy
weather craft. Glencairn's win was by
about the same margin as that of Mono on
Saturday, and the question of final victory
in the series is now admitted to depend
largely upon the strength of the wind in the
races to come. In a light blow Mono s
chances are decidedly the better, while in a
stiff breeze GIencarn is looked on as a
sure winner To-day's race was over q
triangular course, each leg one and a third
miles long, three times over the course.
Glencairn got over the line a good forty
seconds ahead of Mono and with a good
head on Mono on the other hand got a
bad start. The time at the finish was Glen
cairn, 1:34:10; Mono 1:3S 81.

1.-The Merry Widows burlesque organization
which opened the season at the Empire yester-
day afternoon, is good a show as could be ex-
pected this early in the season. The perform
ance showed some need of further rehearsals,
but as a whole went smoothly The bill includes
two "hurlesques' and a variety olio. The bur-
lesques were well costumed and given with vim
and likewise eclat. The variety performance in
cluded among its people Tillie and Billie De Witt,
in a semi-Irish comic sketch; the Twin Sisters
Fauvette, in the acrobatic, igh-kickng, do-the-
split style of dance that has become so familiar;
Price and Gates, in a highly vigorous knockabout
act; Mack and Elliot, in an amusing family
quarrel sketch; May Kennedy, in bunch of risky
songs, which, sad to say, tickled the au-
dence the riskier they got and Beeson, Miles
