BASE BALL BRIEFS.

President Johnson, of the Western base ball
league said yesterday that he anticipated no
trouble In adjusting the alleged grievances of
the indianapolis base ball club. The team
has already been reinstated in the good
graces of the league and will play in Mime
apois today.-Chicago TimesHerald. The
difficulty arose over Manager Aliens acton
in taking the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
railway from st. Paul to Chicago, instead
Of the Wisconsin Central, with which line
the league has its standing arrangement for
rates. When this was reported to President
Johnson he requested the railroads to take
Indianapolis off the list of ball clubs getting
talking to the Chicago, Milwaukee st. Paul
people Manager Allen disclosed the rates al
lowed the ball club by the Wisconsin Central
This Manager Allen denies. The additional
expense over the usual club rates would
be about $3.50 for the Western trip.

BRUISING FINISH.
Ltsette's Desperate Effort to Lead Ia

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. S-The biggest
crowd that ever witnessed an indoor woman's
bicycle race in Minneapolis was that at the
Exposition building tonight Every one Of
the $500 seats were occupied and fully 600
people were satisfied with standing room.
And they saw finish that was as thrill
ing as ever finish was. The four leaders
IN the race, Anderson, Farnsworth Iisette
ana peterson, fought every inch of the way
during the last five six laps. It was An
eSSrson in the lead, as usual; Farnsworth
next, and Peterson and Lisette trailing with
only hairs breadth between the rear Of
one wheel and the front of another Idsette
again made an effort to reach the head of the
line She pulled up on the track at the side
Of Peterson, and her every muscle was
strained to overtake Anderson. Slowly inch
by 1nch, she showed her wheel ahead Of that
Of Peterson's and every one of the 900
people cheered to the echo.
Farnsworth was next in limo and Tho
Plucky little French woman undertook to
head her off. But she was not equal to the
task. On the incline she was riding a greater
distance than the others and finally had tn
give way, but she took the place formerly
occupied by Peterson. R'0o -' -

PASSING OF GLAssCOCK.
The Old Man Obliged to Get Out of
the Game.

That Jack Glasscock will not again be seen
in st. Paul uniform is news that will cause
a pang of regret in the heart Of every Sanity
City fan. The old man has made good
fight and has passed over the divide Of the
national game. A few short years ago he
was the greatest shortstop in America
Growing too slow for that position, he was
forced out of the National league and came
a fair success as a first -baseman, and kent
up the wonderful hitting for which he was
always famous. In both 1896 and 1897 he bat
ted far above the average, and held his own
reasonably we'll at first base. The season of

1898 has been his undoing He has shown
UP badly on the initial bag, try as hard as
he might, and his work with the willow has
been erratic, indicating clearly the loss Of
the great batting eye."
The old man is gone, but he will be re-
membered here for his splendid work in
other years. Always conscientious, always in
good condition, always fighting for st. Paul
to the bitter end Of every contest he was an
ideal ball player. The G o b e regrets that
