National League
PLAYED WITHOUT AN ERROR.
Foreman Hit Four Men and Gave
Three Bases ON Balls.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept 1S-The Indi-
ana champions lost the first game of the
series which is to decide the championship
of the Western League. The victory of the
Blues is due solely to the fact that they
batted Foreman harder than the Hoosiers
could hit Gear. There never was pitcher
who received any more brilliant support
than was given to Foreman, and there was
not the remotest chance to charge any of
the Indianapolis fieders with an error. The
work of Flynn in left field was especially
remarkable, while Hogriever made two won
derful catches in right and Fleming did
good work in center. At times Foreman
seemed to lose control of the ball, which is
shown by the fact that he hit four batters,
Williams getting two very hard ones. One
of the men who was hit scored, that being
the only pitchers error which figured in
the result. The Blues also did some ex-
traordinary fielding, although their record
was not a clean one. Two of the great
features were throws by Slagle and Frisbee,
each of them cutting off runner at the
plate from the deep field. Manning's men
did hard and scientific batting. sacrifice hits
assisting in the run getting.
The one run for Indianapolis was scored
in the eighth on two-baggers by Hogriever
and Fleming Fleming was cut off at the
plate, trying to score on a throw which had
passed second base and which was fielded
in by Slagle. That was the only inning in
which the visitors could get more than one
hit. Singles by, Frisbee, Wilson and Nc
Wicker, a stolen base by Wilson and a sac
rifice by Campau gave the Blues two in
the fifth. Their third run came in the
sixth, Klopf being hit by a pitched ball,
advancing on Viox's sacrifice, and crossing
the plate on Slagles two-bagger The
crowd of 1900 was the largest which ever
witnessed a ball game in Kansas City.
The field was completely surrounded. There
was not the least disturbance of any kind.
Sheridan's umpiring was satisfactory each
team getting shade on one close decision.

You're heroes every one OF you,
Says Colonel Roosevelt;
The trials which you've all been through
Are generally felt.
Yet modesty with honest worth
Invariably goes.
So take the good things Of this earth,
But don't get gay and pose.
And not alone to soldier men
Does this advice apply.
All folks may well observe It when
Success comes fitting by
Smile as you read your name In print.
And count your wealth that grows;
Draw treasure from life's golden mint,
But don get gay and pose

Goethe on the Panama Canal

Almost century ago Goethe, with pro-
phetc foresight, saw that manifest destiny
wo,Sl force the United States to adopt a
policy of expansion, and, in his comments
upon the Isthmus of Panama, he predicted
in the following words such consumma-
ton:
"a great spirit of enterprise will manifest
itself in the future that will result in the
cutting of canal of such a character as
will allow ships with any kind of cargo and
of every, even the greatest, size to pass
from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific
ocean. This will result, for the civilized
world, also for the not civilized part Of
mankind in the most incalculable advant-
ages. l should, however, be astonished if
the United States We're to let slip the op.
portunity of getting such work into their
own hands One may foresee that that
youthful country, with it's pronounced ten
dency toward the west, will have seized
upon and peopled, within the next thirty or
forty years, even the wide stretches of land
beyond the Rocky mountains. One may
also foresee that all along this coast of the
Pacific, where nature has already created
the most spacious and most secure harbors
there will gradually arise very important
commercial towns, which will. BECOME the
Intermediates of a great intercourse be-
tween China and the East Indies on the
one side and the United States on the 9TH
er. l repeat, then, that it is absolutely
imperative for the United States to effect
a cutting from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Pacific ocean. And am sure they will ef-
feet that aim. Chicago Inter Ocean.
