Base Ball Worriment.

The town has had more base ball
worry in the past 48 hours than in a
year before. 1t all grew out Of the
Atchison teams engagement here.
Saturdays game was played with
several intermissions for trouble.
Abilene allowed Atchison to steal
several bases and lost the game by
the following score:
Abilene" 0 0 0 l 0 2 0 0 O-3 10 4

Corbett; Atchison Jones and Warner

Of TIE game was roor and gave Atchi-
son big advantage. Price did bet
ter.
The chief wrangle came from a
chase made after foul by Cap. Cole
of the Atchisons, He ran near the
fence and into the line Of small bov
rooters. He claimed that the bows
bothered him and threw clods so he
proceeded to punish Ralph Logan,
little colorcd boy aged about 70
years. Marshal Favor called him off
and Sheriff Robson soon came up.
One of the players not knowing that
Robson was sheriff used some bad
language toward the distinguished
officer and was jerked out of the
grounds and taken up town. Robson
then let him 60. Cole was arrested
after the game and taken to police
court. After long hunt for the
city attorney he was fined 81 and
costs, the total Of $3.50. G. c. Sterl

expense and the officers may throw

week were cancelled. The Kansas

Two or three things have become

Norton settled down and the Brewers hits

; INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 30.-The
Hoosiers captured double header to-
day with st. Paul.
The afternoon game was one of the
most sensational contests ever played
in this city. Neither team scored until
the ninth inning and then Miller's sin
gle and Glenalvin's triple gave ST. Paul
enc, with one out. A sharp double play
stopped further chances of run-get-
ting. In the last half of the inning,
with one out Hoffmeister hit for base,

Both teams played a perfect fielding
game, and Foreman outpitched Denzer

each for Foreman and Denzer and one
for Spies. None had any effect on the
score.
The morning game was lost for the
Saints largely by the wretched field
Ing of Shugart and Gillen. These men
started all of the trouble in each the
third and fourth innings. Two errors
or Shugart in the fourth, which gave
the Hooslers three, put Cross in the
air. and three singles and two doubles
that were batted out added four, net

In the previous inning, Gillen, by
Wild throwing, gave Flynn a life, and
then Lynch drove out a triple and Ho-

all. The single tally of the Champions
In the seventh came through a hit,
sacrifice. an error of Shugart's, and
put-out.
The Saints chalked up two in the
fourth on Burke's triple and singles

Cross was given a life on an error,
Burke got a single, and Glenalvin's
