LIVELY BASE RUNNING.
HOgriever, Mcfarland and Lynch
Carried on the HOnOrs.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
COLUMBUS, o., July 6.-The champions
and Senators played a game this afternoon
that was replete with brilliant fielding, but
the visitors were more fortunate than the
locals when it came to error making Cen
mss mistake in the eighth started trouble
and resulted in loss for Columbus. The
two errors of the champions did not prove
costly, and the run getting on each side was
assisted materially by the wildness of the
pitchers, while "dopey' base running by
Wolverton cost the Senators runs on two
different occasions. Motz and Stewart
made wonderful stops, and Hogriever ac-
cepted four hard chances in the sun field,
besides stealing third base twice and second
base once, as we'll as lining out two of the
hits and scoring one run. Flynn was 1.-THE
real thing" however, as his third base play
was snaQpy and his hitting timely, a home
run tying the score in the fifth and his sin
gle sending in the winning run in the
eighth. Scott hit Knoll in the first, sac
rifice, passed ball and long fly scoring the
run. Hogriever singled. was sacrificed to
second, stole third and scored on a passed
ball. Wolters's single and two-bagger by
Friend added a run in the second inning
for Columbus, the next run being scored by
indianapolis in the fifth, when Flynn lifted
the ball over the left field fence. In the
sixth Wolverton made a scratch hit and
= Frank followed with clean drive for a
base. Tebeau hunted and advanced the run
ners, Allen fielding Wolverton out at the
plate when Genins hit to short stop. Frank
took third on the play and scored when
Genins stole second. Sullivan hit safely
scoring Genins, giving Columbus a lead of
two, but they were DONE Mcfarland hit
to Genins in the eighth, and, although it
was an easy chance he threw badly to
Tebeau. Motz singled, Mcfarland stole
third and scored on Deady's hit, Motz
reaching third and scoring on Aliens long
fly to Knoll. Deadly was caught trying to
steal third. Then Lynch was hit by a
pitched ball, stole second and scored on
Flynn'S single The score.

where the Government VIII Gain.
LesIie's Meekly.


The demand for a popular bond subscrip-
ton was supported by statements that the
bankers. when they look the last govern
ment loans made a handsome profit. Secre-
tary Gage accordingly offered the new issue
of bonds TO the public at par, and now it
is discovered that bankers stood ready to
give a bonus of from three to six million
dollars for the bonds, if he had offered
them to the highest bidder. Somebody may
say that the government is a loser to the
extent of the premium it could have re-
ceived but we are not so sure of this. The
widespread distribution of the bonds to
small holders means that in the natural
course of events great many
small bonds will be lost or de-
stroyed, and the government may gain as
much in this way as 1t would have made
from premium on the sale. 1t will be re-
membered that at the close of the civil war
The government found that something like
Sl5.0o00e0 of Its currency obligations had not
been presented for redemption. This indi-
Gated that that enormous amount had been
destroyed-some of il burned, some lost in
marine casualties. some buried or boarded
in places that will never see the light, and
every dollar thus lost destroyed was a
clear profit to the government.

City Attorney John w. Kern returned last
night from visit to Chicago. and in speak
ing of his trip said he was much surprised
on awaking yesterday morning and going
into the street to see the Indianapolis Jour
nal sold on all the street corners of Chi
cago. Everywhere he went, he says, he
saw the familiar headlines of the Indian
apolis papers, and on purchasing one found
the newsboys had raised the tariff on them
to 10 cents each. The price was, however.
no obstacle to the sale generally as the in
dications seemed to point to the arrival of
the Indianapolis papers in Chicago al an
earlier hour than those of other towns sup
plying the demand in that city. Every one
wanted war news and plenty of il, and so
far this feature was concerned, no one
seemed to feel the loss of the Chicago pa
pers while reading those from this city.
