AVERAGES TO DATE.
indianapolis still Hitting Above 300
and Fielding We'll.

The averages to date show the Indianap-
Oils team to be hitting at 800, a very good
ngure, but one which should be improved
somewhat this week. Six of the players
are over 300, not incsEding Deadly, who has
gone to Minneapolis for the balance of the
season. Gray is in the lead with McFar-
land a close second. The latter is likely to
close the gap this week. He fell off eleven
points last week, while Gray Went up three
points. The two men were tied week ago
at 1885, Motz has dropped a little, while
Goar, Wood and Mccarthy have improved
their figures somewhat, as will be seen in

WALKED In HER SLEEP.
Thrilling Experience of Idst Lambert,
Aged sixteen.

About II 80 o'clock last night Ida Lam
bert. sixteen years of age, who lives with
her sister. Mrs. Sarah Gordon, over 5l9
(new) East Washington street, had an ex-
perience with sleep walking that she will
not soon forget. She arose from her bed
and walked to a window and stepped out,
falling to the pavement below a distance
of about fifteen feet. She seemed to turn
as she fell and alighted in a crouching po-
sition on her head and knees She re-
ceived a deep cut in the scalp and both
knees were severely cut and bruised. AL
though very painful her injuries are not
particularly serious. There were no bones
broken and an examination last night did
not seem to indicate that there were any
internal injuries. DIR. Erdman. of the city
Dispensary, was called. He had the girl
taken to the dispensary, where, assisted by
the other physicians of that institution, the
cuts were sewed up.

BecaInled,

The car came &c a dead stop and the
lights went out 1t was out on Central
avenue beyond Fall creek that the motor
and its trailer, both loaded to the guards
with human freight. found themselves
powerless shortly after s clock last night.
There was a little squeal of fright from a.
bevy of children who, with couple of
matronly ladies, were occupying the two
front seats, and a litter of delight from
bevy of maidens in shirt waists and sailor
hats who, with their fellows, occupied two
whole rows toward the rear of the motor.
Everybody took it good naturedly, even to
the grouchy individual who sat chewing an
unlighted cigar on the second row and held
on to the end seat like grim DEATH COM
peling everybody else in the row TO climb
over him. This sort of thing happens ire
qUently, and the people felt 1t would be
but few moments until the lights would
squirt up again and the ''brooms.ick train"
so humming along its way TO FairView.
After the first moment of surprise that
period of general expectancy began, and
the silence was so dense that one could
hear the shir -wasted girls chew gum.
Thus fully i've minutes passed without a
word.
How long are we stuck for?" asked q
portly individual of the conductor
How d you spose l know?' snapped the
conductor. Some people think l can see
over the whole line and the power house,
too" he added in a plainly audible growl.
The fat man subsidized, but the ice had been
broken and the conversation became more
'Mawf' cried one of the kids on the
front row. make Sam quit a-kickin my
legs!
Sammy came a voice like file with
a few teeth out
II wasn't a-tachln' him. mawT
Wow" This fJom the first childish
voice, and everybody in the car knew that
Sammy had got his evens.
Meanwhile the shirt-waists and their
fellows" were giggling,. chatting and
chewing gum. Say. May cried the pink
waist leaning toward a girl on the seat
behind her, but casting a glance along
toward the end OF the seat. THEY say
there's an awful cheap lot of boys works
down at the bicycle works! And there
was a mingled guifaw and litter.
'Humph!' retorted a pale blue shirt
waist toward the end of the seat, they
amt so cheap that they won't never take
their girl buggy ridin, Ike some Eeyple
know that works at the Parry" And
though there was no light in the car, ev-
erybody knew that the overgrown boy at
her size was giving her hand an extra
squeeze for coming to his defense.
Don't you suppose we shall ever
start?" asked young man in white ducks.
Think your maw'll git oneasy2P asked
the conductor sharply, and one could see
the sweet young thing who accompanied
him of the ducks blusnng in the dark.
And this sort of thing lasted until nearly
10 o'clock.

JUMBO" DYNAMO BREAKS AND

Street Cars Stranded All over the
City-OppOrtunities for Profan-

An accident at the Louisiana-street
power house of the street-railroad COM
pany at o'clock last evening caused a
heap Of suppressed profanity. The key to
the armature OF the big Jumbo dynamo
broke and it was an hour and forty-ive
minutes before the machinery was adj
justed, and in the meantime all the lines
in the northeastern part of town that run
over Massachusetts avenue were held up.
And as all these lines have South Side ends.
1t came pretty near being a complete tie
up of the system. When the break oc-
CURED the cars were crowded with people
on their way to the parks or out for an
airing. For long time they staid with the
cars, expecting them to start every mo-
ment, but as the minutes heightened into
an hour and still there vas no power.
the passengers deserted the cars and
trudged sadly home in the sweltering heat.
