CHICAGO, June IL. - Comiskey's men
closed one of the most remarkable series
Of baseball games ever played, to-day, by
again shutting out the Indianapolis team
by a score of to 0. 1t was duel Of pitch
ers, and after the first inning Dammann
had the better of the argument. pitching
faultlessly and with good support. Chicago
secured only four hits. but three of them
came in the first inning, which, coupled
with errors, gave the White Stockings
three runs and the game. After that
neither team could get man past second
base. Big Jack Katoll was in the box for
Chicago, and although six hits were made
of his delivery they did not do any dam
age, as they were scattered through the
nine innings. He was given good support,
Chicago's errors cutting no figure in the
final result. A big crowd thronged the
stands and bleachers and crowded over
into the field. Between eleven and twelve
thousand people were present, nearly twice
as many as were at the National League
game. The pitching was the great feature
of the game. After the second inning not a
semblance of a hit was made off DAM
mann. He was supported by almost fault
less fielding and had the batters of CO.
miskeys men at his mercy. Hoy made a
beautiful running catch away over in right
field. 1t was Netherlands ball. but the
silent man went after 1t and got it right in
front of where Mcfarland usually plays.
Another time he tried the same trick, but
Mcfarland. who was running backwards,
did not see him coming and in consequence
the ball fell safe, according to Umpire Cam
tillon although Hoy seemed to have caught
the ball off his shoe laces. 1t was a salts
factory decision. however, as neither the
umpire nor the people in the stands could
tell whether the ball was actually caught
or not, as Hoy fell down and came up with
the ball in his hands. and the hit cost
nothing. Four shut-out games are re-
markable record. There was hardly enough
hitting for one game. with the exception
of one inning. 1t beautiful contest
between clever pitchers, in nearly every
case supported by fine fielding. Milwaukee
reinforced, by Bierbauer, will face Pitcher
Cy Seymour tomorrow, who makes his
first appearance in the American League.
The score.

BUSINESS Is IMPROVING
THE FREIGHT MOVEMENT AGAIN Ex-
CEEDs 10000 LOADED CARS.
Comments on the Readjustment of the
Affairs of the Clover Leaf--Gen-
eraI and Personal Notes.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis in
the week ended June Is a total of 6.S22
cars. 20.2sS being loaded. This is an in
crease Of SIS loaded cars. as compared with
the week ending June 0. but LIS fewer
than were handled at this point in the cor
responding week of 1899. Still. until 1899. a
loaded car movement of 10000 in a week
was considered phenomenal, and in fact,
was never realized until 1898. that the
present volume OF business really gives no
room for complaint. and the business Is
carried at good paying rates. statement
that Is borne out by the increased earnings
reported from week to week. No Indian
apolis line as yet this year has shown
smaller earnings in any week, as compared
with corresponding periods in 1899. Fortu-
nately for indianapolis lines, the bulk of
freight moving is that which pays better
rates than grain and number of other
articles that are carried as through bust
ness. Comparatively speaking. shipments
of grain and grain products are the light
est in years. Just now the Big -Four is
hauling several hundred carloads of -four
shipped from Minneapolis for export via
Newport News, which last week improved
business with that road So far as high
class freights are concerned, the bottom is
out OF west-bound business, while ship
ments west Of the lower class freights av-
erage well with former years. Shipments
of provisions 20 Southeastern and Southern
States, and of machinery to Southern man
ufacturing towns are largely in excess of
former years. The cessation of street i'm
provements Is telling perceptibly on local
business inbound So many of the manu-
facturers have returned to using gas as a
fuel that coal traffic Is very light Export
orders for provisions, cerealine products
and flour are light. and this is felt by In
dianapolis lines. At the stockyards and
packing houses more is now doing than in
June last year, but the product is sold on
home markets, in New England and South
eastern States. Local manufacturers are
still heavy shippers. The table below
shows the number of loaded cars handled
at this point for the week ending June 10.
and for the corresponding weeks of 1885

The Recognized Clover Leaf.


The much-reorganized Toledo. ST. Louis
& Kansas City Railroad appears to be
coming to the end of another readjustment
of its affairs. The present'corporation dates
from 1886. in which year 1t succeeded the
Toledo, Cincinnati & st. Louis, foreclosed
in 1886. In commenting on the past and
future of the road the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser says: "Its exceptionally
unfortunate history has resulted naturally
enough from the Clover Leafs peculiar
geographical situation. The building of
the road as a through line was absolutely
without warrant. From Toledo to East st.
Louis 1t parallels the Wabash. and at
neither terminus has il such connections or
alliances as would make 1t power in the
transportation world. Not one of the great
systems with which its tracks connect or
which they cross has found the property
of sufficient prospective value to warrant a
commanding bid for it, Virtually, there
fore, the company has been shut up to
local traffic, with such through business
as Ii could secure through sufferance.
The securities that have made trouble
for the Clover Leaf have been the small
amount of only 100000 of per cent.
first-mortgage bonds, upon which the an
nual fixed interest charge. IL paid. would
nave been $4,000 During the receiver
ship about $4,000 of receivers certifi-
Gates have been issued, which amount is
now reduced to $4,000. Having no in
terest TO pay, the receiver has put the net
earnings of tire road into betterments to
considerable extent, as matter of
course, and this work appears to have
been done wisely and well. The expenses
outside of maintenance in 1898 consumed
IS per cent. of the gross earnings. but in
1899 only AZ per cent Considering the
adverse traffic conditions of the line, it's
operating management must be regarded
as noteworthy. The road was sold TO the
bondholders committee in March. and the
bondholders Thursday last accepted the
offer of the new syndicate to pay the price
of 40 in bonds and stock for the face of
the securities, plus the accumulated in
terest since 1893 An assessment on the
stock and other provisions will yield some

expenses of reorganization"
