Men Manager Watkins VIII Use on
His Present Tour.

The Indianapolis team--fourteen players
and Manager Watkins-left at $40 yester-
day morning for Grand Rapids. Reilly and
Cockman were the only ones left at home
and it is Watkins's intention to play Nc
Carthy in left and Flynn at short until a
regular shortstop can be secured. There is
a possibility that Snapper" Kennedy may
yet be landed. Des Moines wants pretty
stiff price for him. but may compromise.
Two years ago Cincinnati signed him as an
outfielder but he never reported and was
finally given his release upon his statement
that he was i'll and in no condition to do
himself justice with the Reds. He is now
playing short for Des Moines of the West
ern Association and from all accounts is
a fast man. Indianapolis has been up
against several gold bricks" from the
Western Association, notably Conner and
Hansen OF Peoria, and is quite naturally a
little reluctant to pay big price for what
may turn out to be a poor investment.
Now that Pittsburg has signed Jimmy
Rogers, he is out of the question. It is I'M
fortunate that Indianapolis could not get
Rogers, as he would, in all probability,
have been just the man for the place. The
management has out two or three lines
any one of which may land a shortstop
within the next few days. Until that posi-
ton is permanently filled by first-class
man the team is in no condition to make a
strong and lasting bid for the pennant.
The management realizes this and will em-
ploy every available means to get such a
man. Meanwhile. Watkinss men are in
second place, and as they fought them
selves into that enviable position While
badly crippled, what will they do when they
are strong in every department and MeCar-

Mcfarland now leads Motz a, couple of
points in hitting, his percentage to-day
being 1893 as against 1897 for Motz. Goar
still leads them all with .349 in fourteen
games. Motz has played in forty-six games
and Mcfarland in forty games. Kahoe
has improved his figure twenty-three points
this week and is now batting POI. Flynn
has also gone up from .213 to .22S. Hog

Stewart has failed to improve, his mark
being now .225 against .226 before the
Kansas City series was played. Gray went
up seven points and now has a mark on .3OS.
Kahoe did the best hitting during the four
games this week, his average for them
being 800 Out of sixteen times at bat he
got eight hits Flynn got six out of six

Cooper Finally Defeats Bald.

UTICA, n. Y, June 1S-In the state cir
cult races here to-day Cooper beat Bald in
the final of the half-mile open. Jenny led
to the stretch, when Cooper ran by him
with Bald hanging close. Newhouse fol-
lowed in the wake of the two, who fought
desperately down the stretch. AS they
crossed the tape Cooper's forward hub was
just clear of Bald's wheel. Bald asked to
have Cooper disqualified for getting in his
way but the race was plainly fair. The
fastest mile of the day was the first heat

three quarters and finished in PIP 2-5 Ray
