THEY JUGGLED THE BALL
AND DID ALL MANNER OF FUNNY
THINGS ON THE DIAMOND.
Two Teams of Travelling Men Show
How Not to Play the
National Game.

The buyer wasn't on hand at Washing
were plenty of statesmen present. as there
was some sort Of a skirmish called a ball
game in which the Commercial Travellers
Club defeated the Travellers Protective As
sociation club by a score reckoned at Is to II.
Wives, sweethearts and friends of the men
who cut UP on the ball field crowded the
grand stand and enjoyed themselves hugely
at the efforts of the travelling statesmen to
play ball. The remark was passed several
times that if they could not handle a GUS
toner and their line of goods any better
than they did a baseball and bat they had
better drive sprinkling carts.
The uniforms worn by the C.. T. c. looked
as If they had been imported from a New
Orleans Mardi Gras or from an advertising
carnival. They were an example of what
the waste-paper boxes to be erected by the
Charles Stuckmeyer syndicate will be. The
backs were used for advertising purposes.
The L. p. A. men were not SO well IA
vored, and a few Of them carried extra
weight by wearing billed shirts and car
rying huge cigars, which they smoked in
cessantly, just to show that they were in
the pink of condition.
Before the contest was called Umpire
Gavin made his triumphal entry on the
back of a little donkey, and Wang in his
palmiest days never felt bigger on his ele-
phant than did Gavin on the back of that
suffering little donkey. Gavin's decisions
were questioned frequently, and early in
the game there came near being a riot, or
- Iooet N Faovf,,1 r-ro po1;po watch hooorco
he was accused of showing Partially.
The C. 7. C. C"Chunky Travelling Chaps')
had things their own way from the start
of the game, and were always to the front,
although when the T.. p. A. made a rally
toward the latter part of the game the
other fellows wanted to stop. The specta-
tors wanted to witness the remainder of
the circus and called to the men to play
ball.
Those who were the c.. II. c. uniforms
were McElwaine, Gibney, Day, Haldeman,
Malott. Darmody, Steffen. Miller, o'Connor
positions when the game was called, but
were switched around so frequently hat
but few of them realized where they were
sat" The T. p. A. crowd consisted Of
Trone, c. Stephenson, Eckhouse (the boy
wonder). Hunter. CT. K. Stephenson, Gompf,
Meek, Albrecht, McNew, Hanger and Judy.
They were also started in the game to look
after a section of territory, but before the
nine innings were completed nearly every
man on both teams had tried his hand at
pitching, each thinking himself capable of
fooling the opposing batsmen. Maurice
O'Connor was the only real ball player in
the bunch, although Charley Malott tried
10 make the crowd believe he was good
enough for the National League. while
Meek, at short. was a wonder at missing
~grounders. In the latter part of the game
all the PLAYERS acted as II they were
troubled with Charley Hoss," and this
morning there will be more sore muscles
and joints in Indianapolis h any other
city in the world.

A BIG SCHEME ON FOOT
TO RECLAIM 10000 ACRES OF LAND
IN STARKE COUNTY.
At Present 1t Is Worth Nothing, and
the Scheme Calls for q Big
Ditch-An Objection.

A movement is on foot in Starke and Por-
ter counties which, if successfully carried
out, will be the means of retaining thou
sands of acres of land which now abounds
in swamps and is utterly useless.
1t is proposed to dig a ditch twenty-three
miles long, with ditch laterals seventy-two
miles in length, which will drain more than
5000 acres of land in Starke and Porter
counties. This ditch will cross the Kanka-
kee river no less than sixty-five times.
A remonstrance, however, has been filed
against the digging of the ditch, the chief
objection to its construction being the fact
that 1t has no outlet sufficient to carry
away the water. The State of Indiana
owns In Starke county 1,2S0 acres of mean
dered land, and as the ditch will run
through a portion of it one of the pro-
moters of the scheme, a Mr.. Coffin, accom-
panied by Attorney Robbins. Of Starke
county, yesterday called on Governor
Mount and requested him to enter an APP
pearance In the case that Is now being
heard on the remonstrance in Starke coun-
ty and to consent that the ditch should be
built according to specifications. The Gov
ernor declined to enter an appearance for
the State for the reason that under the law
appearance entered for one purpose is an
appearance for all purposes. and If any
trouble should arise about the building of
the ditch it might involve the State in end
less litigation.
Again, the Legislature passed a Law last
year appointing Governor Mount ditch
commissioner of the State, and authorizing
him TO sell the meandered lands in Starke
county and use the proceeds TO deepen the
mouth Of the kankakee river. As 1t is pro-
posed TO drain the ditch into the Kankakee
river near it's mouth, II is feared that 1t
would result in the river OVERLOOKING the
adjacent land.

An interesting letter was received in this
city yesterday from Mrs. III. F. Frevert,
of New York, who is attending the Paris
exposition. in company with her brother
David Graham Phillips, an editorial writer
or the New York World Mrs. Frevert
end Mr.. Phillips are native Hoosiers, hav-
ing been born In Madison. in the southern
part of this State Their father was David
G.. Phillips. a banker, who died a little
over two years ago. Referring to the ex-
position, Mrs. Frevert says:
1.-The exposition is In fine shape now,
and is worth looking at after you get well
into it. Paris is crowded and expensive.
Counterfeit money is afloat, and the
stranger is fieeced, as he always Is. How
ever, within the exposition grounds it il
comfortable, shady, and conveniences are
at hand. The restaurants are good and
reasonable, which is something Chicago
had not. In fact, the way people are
treated at this exposition Is not to be COM
pared with Chicago except in the way that
civilized people and Hottentots are COM
pared."

And a Neighbor Rushed In and Saved
a Baby.

The fire department was twice called
about IL o'clock last night to the rear Of
No. SIS East South street to put out a fire
which had started from a broken lamp.
How the lamp got broken the police who

rumors of a fight in which the lamp had
been thrown. Minnie Taylor, colored, the
OCCUPANT of the house. caused much excite
ment and amusement by her actions. She
was greatly excited over the fact that her
babe had been saved from the flames by a
neighbor, who rushed into the place and
found the bed on which the child had been
sleeping in flames. A large number of Old
rags and old carpets which made up the lit
tie ones bed were burned.
