that has perhaps turned out more noted
players than any one club in baseball his
tory. 1t was a crack team in Washing
ton, d. c. and had in its list of players

the Baltimore infeld: Tom McCreery, the
right fielder of the New YorkS; Algie Nc

been well supplied with mascots this sea-

hits than any club in the business. The
Hoosiers say it Is good ball playing that
enables them to score so frequently on few
hits, but If the farm hands do not take a.
decided brace in batting they will be drop
ping down in the race, as their pitchers cam
not hold them up forever. In Wednesdays
game the Hoosers made but three hits and
yet managed to score twice making it a
close game, as the Blues scored but three
times on eleven safe drives. Like John L,

The case against William Iron, charged
tried by jury yesterday afternoon In Po-
lice Court, and resulted in the acquittal of
the accused. The affidavit in the case was
made by H. l.. whitehead, of the Good
Citizens League. He went to Fairbank
last Saturday night and ordered glass of
beer. He occupied seat in the park and
the waiter went to the house and returned
with the beer 1t was charged that the
license covered only the house. and that
the sale of beer in the park would there
fore, be unlicensed.
The defense made the point that the beer
was sold in the house. and merely delivered
to- the customer in the park; that the
waiter acted as the agent of the customer;
that it was no more a violation of the law

The jury was instructed by Millard F.
Cox, who is acting for his brother during
the latters vacation. The instructions were
into the Interpretation of the Nicholson law
or other statutes, but merely told the jury
that If it was found that the sale of the
glass of beer to Mr.. Whitehead was not
covered by the license, ii would be neces-
sary TO convict; If the sale was covered by

City Railway Case Set for Oral ArEu-
ment Next October.

After all the talk about rushing the street.
car litigation through that decision
could be secured before the summer adj
journment of the Supreme Court, the city
attorney allowed the appeal to lie dormant
and made no effort to have the case adj
vanced and set down for oral argument un-
til it was too late for the court to act be-
fore adjournment. The case of the City
Railway Company against the City of In
dianapois and the Citizens Street-railroad
Company was yesterday advanced on the
docket by the court and set down for oral
argument Oct 5. Appellant was given I'M
til Aug. and the appellees until Sept. L
to file briefs.
The court will adjourn to-day, returning
for four days session the last week in
June before the summer vacation.
There is talk among attorneys who have
watched the street-car litigation to the eff
feet that the suits now pending are not to
be finally adjudicated at all. One of them
said yesterday that in his opinion both
companies expected to get around existing
laws by going to the Legislature next Janu-
airy, when, he said, the Citizens Company
would undertake to have the laws passed
in 1897 repealed and the City Company
would ask for new legislation. The fact that
the city authorities are allowing the Scent
case to lie undetermined in the Federal
Court and made no efforts to get the City
Companys case decided gives some color to
current talk to the effect that the city
officials expect to reach a settlement of the
street-car situation outside the courts.

National League
HAwLEY AGAINST PARDEE.
The HOOsier Wins His Game in Spite
of Eight Errors.
Western League

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
KANSAS CITY, June 16.-HaWley excelled
Pardee in pitching to-day as much as the
Blues surpassed the Hoosiers in fielding. OF
the six hits made off the Indianapolis twirl-
er but two were gathered in one inning,
and they did little damage. The best the
Blues could do with Hawley was to get four
clean singles and beat out two bunts. Par
dee, who is thoroughly satisfied that he will
be the brightest star in the National League
next year, was as good a thing as the
Hoosiers could have asked, and their eleven
hits were good for seventeen bases. In field
ing and hitting Motz won all the honors of
the day. In addition to taking care of ev-
erything which came to him in the usual
way, he pulled down three very difficult foul
flies. Aside from the fielding of the big first
baseman and Mcfarland the work of the
team was not at all what it should have
been, and only the hard hitting saved the
game. Foreman was sent to the bench be-
cause he advised the bleachers to come cut
Sunday and see him pitch. McVicker, who
injured his wrist in collision with Stewart
yesterday, was out of the game, his place
being taken by Armstrong, a local man.

WORK ON BICYCLE TRACK
EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED AND
READY FOR USE JULY 1.
More Bids Opened Yesterday, but Re-
jected Because Too High-BOys'
Road Race TO-MOrrOw.

Work on the new bicycle track and build
ings at Newly Oval is progressing rapidly.
The contract for the "bleachers" has been
let to Henry Dolman at his bid of S. 800. He
also has the contract for the track and the
amphitheaters. The track is almost finished
and the amphitheaters are we'll under way.
Work on the bleachers has also commenced.
There is yet 20 be awarded a contract for
erecting the fences ticket pavilions and
other small buildings. Bids were opened for
this work yesterday, but all were declined
as being too high, and new bids are asked
for. They will be opened to-day, and then
all the work for the Improvement of the
place will have been provided for with the
exception of that of beautifying the ground
between the track and the gate. This will
be made to resemble park as much as the
limited space will permit.
1t is expected that the track will be done
at least four or five days before the state
meet, July a. in order that the riders who
are to participate in the races may have an
opportunity to train on the track and get
accustomed to it. 1t will be the first ex-
perience of most of them on the whale
back track and the first of many on a
board track with the high banking.
All the riders as well as the spectators
who attend the state meet and the national
meet will be pleased on account of the color
of the surface of the track. The timber of
which the surface rs made has been treated
to preserving solution of creosote, which
gives it dead brown color. 1t is restful
to the eye even when the SUN beats down
upon 1T during the middle of the day. 1t is
the first track to be thus treated, and it is
In marked contrast with other new tracks.
A new board track is very trying on the eyes
of the riders, and isT& severe strain on the
eyes of the spectators. At Willow Grove
track, at Philadelphia, last year there was
much complaint about this. Even a dirt
track is injurious, and a cement track is
almost as bad as wood. 1t is great salts
faction to the track company that the new
track at Newly Oval will not have this bad
quality.
1t Is the track company's intention to keep
the place open all the time and allow riders
TO use the track and training quarters A
lee Tor such privileges will be charged and
tickets will be issued to riders and their
trainers. This arrangement necessitates the
employment of track manager, and it is
likely that the company will settle upon
Frank Erdelmeyer for the position Waiter
R1bble is also said to be a candidate for the
place. Both are good men,, we'll Versed in

AN UNGRATEFUL WOMAN.
Would Have Deserted the Boy Who
Saved Her Child's Life.

Yesterday morning Harry Butler, a boy
about fifteen years of age, was thrown
from carriage by frightened horse and
had one of the bones of his left foot broken.
He was attended by DIR. McIvor, of the
City Dispensary. Butler is employed by a
family living near McClainsville, northeast
of the city. Yesterday he drove into town
with the man and his wife and their little
girl. The man and his wife left the boy In
charge of the carriage while they were at
tending to some business, instructing the
boy to drive down town. AT the Big Four
Railroad crossing the horse became fright
ened and the carriage was turned over. The
boy grabbed the child when he saw the
probable result and protected her in the
fall so as to prevent any injury to her. but
himself suffered broken bone
The dispensary ambulance took the boy
to the dispensary and the wound was
dressed. Afterward the woman who en-
ployed him came to the dispensary to in
quire about him. She first asked If he were
able to work. On being informed that the
time, she asked if he could not be sent to
the City Hospital or some other place for
she said she had no place for any one who
could not work This treatment of the boy
who had probably saved the life of the
womans little daughter aroused the ire of
DR.. MacIvor and he said:
This boy has saved your daughters life
ana now you want to turn him loose. How
would you like for 1t to get into the papers
that you were so ungrateful?"
The woman reconsidered the matter and
finally took the boy into her carriage and
took him home with her.

MRS. CoRDEs BEATEN.
Wilborn Wilson Gets Judgment
Against Her for S64S.5O.

To the relief of all concerned, including
the public, the case of Mrs. Augusta Cordes
against Attorney Wlborn Wilson to cancel
the attorneys interest in mortgage as
signed by the plaintiff to him was decided
yesterday by Judge Harvey in Superior
Court against the plaintiff. The case is, ac-
Cording to the evidence. as follows: Mrs
Cordes, who has been the plaintiff in seven
divorce suits within the last few years, in
stituted one two years ago against her hus-
band and engaged Attorney Wilson as her
adviser. In lieu Of cash fee she gave him
her note for $500, and the case was duly
filed and pleadings submitted when, be-
cause of allegations made in the complaint
against the sister of the plaintiff, the lat
ter entered suit against her for SANDER,
which Mr.. Wilson attended TO as her law
yer, charging her another $500, for which he
took her additional note.
When the case came to trial Mr.. Wilson
appeared in court and reported that he
could not find his client and secured a con-
tinuance from the court. Feeling justified
in taking the step. and learning that his
client was possessed of a mortgage for 5000
executed to her by Mrs. Louisa Streeter, he
applied TO his client and had it transferred
10 him security for mis- fees. Shortly
after this Mrs. Cordes. without consulting
Wilson, had her case dismissed and COM
promised the SANDER suit, and then claimed
that her attorney had gained possession of
the mortgage by sharp practice and under
a Misrepresentation on, her part. When the
payment was due on ii she began suit with
[ other attorneys to foreciose the mortgage,
and demanded OF the court that Ii clear her
title to the document then held by Mr.. Will
son. The attorneys for Mrs. Streeter APP
peared in court and stated that they were
ready to pay the money, but refused to pay
il to either party until the court should de-
eide which one was entitled to il.
The court allowed her to pay the money
into court. thus exempting her from costs
in the suit
After hearing all the evidence in the case
Judge Harvey decided that the mortgage
was rightfully the property of Mr.. Wilson,
and gave him Judgment for the full amount
of his claim, $64S.50, with interest, and or
dered the money paid into court by the
mortgageor, Mrs. Streeter, to be paid over

RAZoRS, FISTS AND KISSES.
Marital Troubles That showed a New
Side to Human Emotions.

The police had to deal yesterday with a
case of domestic infelicity, which has more
than the usual variations. They found a
man and his wife apparently trying TO kill
each other and in a short time they were
kissing and declaring they would defend
each other from the police and that all
the law in the land could not make them
swear against each other. Their troubles
began at Haynes's restaurant and ended at
the police station. the making up process
being carried out in the patrol wagon.
John Johnson is employed at Haynes's
restaurant. He is colored. Yesterday morn
ing his wife called him cut into the alley
in the rear of the restaurant and demanded
to know why he had not come home the
night before. There was a quarrel and the
woman tried to scratch a few eyes out and
pull her husbands kinky locks. He per-
suaded her TO go home with him. The police
were called to their home 211 Bird street.
1t seems that when Johnson reached home
he began to whip the woman. as a means
of Furnishing her for the embarrassment
she caused him al the restaurant
When the police arrived Johnson was on
the first floor of the house repairing the
damage done to his face and the wife was
upstairs standing guard with a razor. They
were placed in the patrol wagon with Pa
trolman Lancaster as a guard TO make sure
that the fight should not be renewed. There
was not word spoken by them until they
began TO near the police station. Then the
woman said:
Mr.. Policeman. does yo' object to kissin'
in the wagon
She was told that kissing was not an I'M
common thing in the patrol wagon and
that he could not offer any valid objection
to wife kissing her husband With that
the woman threw her arms about her hus-
bands neck and almost smothered him with
kisses. And the husband seemed to relish
il and returned the embraces with interest
Ihey were in the open wagon and the
sound of the huge smacks startled people
passing along the streets
At the police station 1t was necessary to
lead the prisoners up separate stairs To the
different departments and ii was with some
little difficulty that the loving pair could
be torn apart. A last embrace ended In a
smack that reverbrated throughout the po-
lice headquarters and then the woman
shouted as they pulled her away
Dey'lI never make me swear against YOU

GOVERNORS WOOL CROP.
He Points an Object Lesson in the
Value of His Clip This Year.

Governor Mount is nothing if not WOOL
grower. He looks on that branch of farm
ing as one of the most satisfactory and
profitable. Yesterday he learned to his sat
isfaction that his flock had produced 296
fieeces of an average weight of nine pounds
each for which the price offered is 221h
cents POUND. The Governor, in discussing
this increase in prices under the Republican
had been for more than four years, a prac-
teal demonstration to all Indiana farmers
of the superiority of Republican over Dem
Ocratic policies
