NEW YORK, May 27.-Although much

Frohman racing along in the rear Thus
they ran until they came out of the dip,
when Sloan gave Frohman his head and it

ed sixteen bicycle riders on charges of fast
riding They took up a position just north
of Fall creek on Meridian street and ar
rested the men as they came down along
the sidewalk. The men and boys arrested
had been making a trip over the road-race
course, and were sprinting down the hill
to the finish. They are all entered in the
race and were going over the course, as
they have been doing every day for a week
and as they have always been allowed to
do. Those arrested were: Harry Deputy,

these men and others along this sidewalk.
The paper came out at o'clock, and about
a half hour later the two bike cops re-
ceived their orders to make the arrests.

Ira Jordan the eighteen-year-old son of
Dr. John S. Jordan, of No. Ills North
Pennsylvania street, was arrested last
night on a warrant sworn out by William
Holman charging him with carrying con-
cealed weapons. The boy tells strange
story of the arrest. He says he was riding
a horse along the street when Holman be-
came offended at him and called him sew
eral vile names, then dragged him from the
horse and gave him severe beating. Hol-
man then according to the boys account
of the affair, searched him and took a
pocket knife and small pistol from him
After treating him thus roughly Holman
obtained a warrant and caused Jordan's ar
rest. DR.. Jordan secured his sons release

FOUR-SIDED BALL DEAL
Won DER AHE AND THE ROBIsONS
EXPECTED IN TOWN TODAY.
st. Louis Team May Go to Buffalo or
Indianapolis and the CleVe-
lands to st. Louis.

1t was expected that Chris Won der Abe,
owner of the st. Louis ball club, would
come to this city yesterday afternoon for
a conference with John L. Brush and
Messrs Dickson & Talbot. Mr.. Won der
Abe did not reach the city, however, but
it is probable that he will come to-day, and
it may be that the Robisons, of Cleveland,
will also join in the conference. 1t is al
most a certainty that an important deal
is about to be made, and theories are
plentiful as to what it will be. one which,
in the light of recent developments, seems
reasonable is that Won der Abe, Brush, the
Robisons and Messrs. Dickson q Talbot
are to pool issues and take hold jointly OF
the st. Louis, Cleveland and Indianapolis
clubs and organize one other. Under this
arrangement st. Louis would get the CleVe-
land team, Cleveland would probably get
the indianapolis team and Buffalo or In
dianapols would get the St. Louis team.
Cleveland has a strong team, but the city
will not support it, and the club has been a
loser to the Robisons for number OF
years. For this reason the Robisons are
anxious to transfer the team to a city
which will support it as it deserves. st.
Louis is such city Notwithstanding the
fact that at present it is a poor ball town.
When the Browns played winning ball the
game was supported there to the extent of
attendance of from 1000 to 10000 daily.
Now the attendance has dwindled down to
an average of less than LOCO, and all on ac-
count of the miserable ball the club is
playing.
MIR Henry Talbot was seen last night
and declined to say anything about the sub
ject He said there was nothing new that
he could say He gave the assurance how
ever, that he and Mr.. Dickson were still of
the mind to get into the baseball business.
1T takes time to make these DEALS he
said. and there are many things to be
considered and settled. Until there is
something definite accomplished L would
rather not saw anything"

MILWAUKEE,. May 27-Milwaukee re-
claimed second place from indianapolis to-
day by hammering Phillips all over the lot
in a game that was as conspicuous for its
kicking poor umpiring and brilliant field
ing as it was for heavy batting. In only
one inning did the Hoosiers solve Terry S
delivery for more than one hit, and that
was in the second when he was touched
up for seven hits, one being a triple, while
the Brewers opened up on Phillips from the
start and hit him hard in four innings.
Graves was very bad on balls and strikes,
and on base decisions was equally erratic,
his eccentricities being equally divided In
batting, Wright, Stafford, Daily and Wood
made some terrific drives, and the fielding
of Lewee was unapproachable.
In the first inning Kahoe's tumble, two
bases on balls, a single and two triples
gave the Brewers five runs, but the visit
ors tied the score in the second on six sin
giles and a triple. In the third inning
Stafford started with a home run. Three
singles, base on balls and Phillips's wild
throw gave the Brewers four, A hit, Ter
rvs sacrifice and Stewards error gave the
locals another tally in the fifth, and the
visitors made two on Woods triple, Lewee's
wild throw and out in the sixth. Mil
waukee clinched the game in the eighth
with three singles and Days drive for
three sacks, netting three runs and in the
ninth a base on balls, Flynn's two-bagger
and Kahoe's long fly scored the last tally
credited to the Hoosiers.
Hogriever retired from the game in the
first inning with a game leg, Foreman talk
ing his place, and in the third Myers was
put out Of the game for talking to the UNI
pire, Barnes covering third during the rest
of the game Score.

ROAD RACE ENTRIES.
The List Closed Last Night with 1oS
COntestants,

When the entries for the Indiana Memo
rial day road race closed at o'clock last
night it was found that exactly 1873 of the
youth of this and adjoining States were
willing to pay a dollar each for the priv
ilege of contesting for the 5000 worth of
prizes offered and the glory to be gained by
the successful ones. The best talent from
all over the State is entered and it is as
sured that the race will be the best ever
pulled off in Indiana and one of the best
in the West.
The race will be run Monday morning
starting at 10 o'clock from the corner of
Twenty-first (old Fourteenth) and Meridian
streets. There will be at least $50 starters.
1t is probable, of course, that some of those
entered will not be satisfied with their
hardicaps and will not start and others
may not show up on the course al all, but
there are at least a dozen men who know
they will be given no handicap who will
enter at the start
