DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 31.-The Detroit
and indianapolis teams closed their series
to-day and the champions have won four
teen out of twenty games The one to-day
was close, but very interesting for all that.
The Hoosiers were outfielded, but the Tigers
could never make hits off Scott when they
were needed. For five innings the score was
! to l. In the sixth, with two out, McFar
land scored the first run for Indianapolis
with his walk to first, MOTIFS double and
Nichols single DUNCAN scored for Detroit
in the first inning on his single, billiards.
single and Lynch's passed ball. Both pitch
ers then did excellent work for four innings
and were well supported, Stewards bad
throw on attempted double letting the
runner to second, being the only break.
Mcfarland again started the trouble in the
ninth and Sammy Nichon again completed
it. Mac hit one through Briggs and Sammy
hammered out a three-bagger. scoring on
Elberfelds bad throw to third. The cham
pions had two men on bases in the eighth
and the Tigers had three in the fourth
with no one out, but three men popped up
flies. In the eighth billiard got his fourth
consecutive hit and scored on two errors
by Kahoe and a passed ball. Kahoe was
confused by Hickey on the second grounder
he fumbled He had taken the place of Allen
in the sixth, the captain being ill. Lynch
prevented Camel tying the game by catch
ing him on the third base line on short
bluff throw to Scott while Stalngs was
stealing. Two Tigers were left on the lines
in the ninth. Score:

soldiers bill OF fare. One of the bitterest
complaints made by the volunteers who
have been In camp throughout the South

A Faulty system.


What is above all else desirable and rec
essary, however. is an intelligent. searching
and dispaSsionate inquiry into the system
of the War Department which rendered pos
sible the multiform mischiefs which have
assailed our soldiers from the outset of the
war. The military staff departments were
overtaXed it is said; and so they were, be-
yond doubt. All the more important is it
that the people should know how ii came
about that expert staff officers were pitch
forked by scores and hundreds into line po
sitions of higher rank in the volunteer army,
while the momentous and vital work IN
which they had been so carefully trained
was handed over largely TO green civilians.
pet proteges of men of influence in the de-
partment and the purely ornamental human
appendages which hang like a frowsy fringe
upon every army in the field Why was the
regular army nucleus of an efficient staff
department broken up and rendered almost
useless. just at the time when it's services
were most urgently required? An honest.
truthful and complete answer to this and
kindred questions would go far toward sov-
ing future problems of military organ
ization and to vindcate the administration
from the charge of wllful completely in the
losses and damage due to persistent official
plumbers which are gradually taking on the
aspect of crimes against the Nation.

All Naval Prisoners released.

WASHINGTON. Aug. S1-Acting Secre~
tary Allen has authorized the release of all
of the Spanish naval prisoners captured in
the battle of July from Cervera's fleet
These are now at Annapolis and Seavey S
island. Portsmouth harbor, the officers be-
ing at the academy and the sailors at the
island. The condition of the men physically
is all that could be desired The prisoners
are to be returned TO Spain at the expense
of the Spanish government. That was the
condition on which our government agreed
to release them without parole or other re-
striction. Admiral Cervera was charged by
his government with the arrangements for
the transportation of the prisoners. They
are all to go together officers and men, and
ii is presumed that Captain Eulate has gone
to New York to charter the two Spanish
steamers now lying there.
