: CLEVELAND, o., April 2S.-For the third
consecutive time the Indianapolis team
was defeated by Cleveland this afternoon
at League Park. Try as hard as he could
Watkins could not stop the onward march
of the locals to victory-and what a march
it was. Kellum, one of the best OF the
champions twirlers. took the helm this
afternoon for the Indianapolis team. but
he met the same fate that Goar and Dam
mann did, and he was glad when the
game was over, for the home team gave
him one of the worst beatings he has re-
ceived in his baseball career. They hit
fim safely nineteen times, for a total of
twenty-three bases, and yet this does not
show how hard he was really hit. Hartsel.
at least. saved him several hits by his
marvellous catches in left field, while Flynn
also stopped a couple labeled hit" Two
fast double plays with the bases full each
time also saved several runs being marked
UP against him. Buelow. Cleveland's little
third baseman. is more than responsible
for the defeat of the champions than any
ether man. The first five times he came up
to bat he hit safely, twice for two baggers.
and the others were singles. In the ninth
inning, with a man on second. he was un-
able to hit safely for the first time during
the game. His five hits in one day is a
record for the season, and is not likely to
be duplicated very soon Hartsel gave him
a hard chase for first honors. The first
time the boy with the auburn hair come to
the bat he was given his base. but the
ether four times he nit safely, all singles.
Although. Ii was claimed before the season
opened that the Cleveland club was weak
in hitters UP to date it has made more
hits than any of the other clubs, and leads
the league to-day in that respect.
The Indianapolis club carried off a neat
sum of money as the result of the games
here, the paid admissions of the opening
Cay being close to 5000. on Friday LA and
to-day 3,025. This is the town that Frank
Robson said was a dead baseball city.

The Turf Congress Special.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 2s.-Ideal rae
ing weather and an excellent card drew a
holiday crowd to Cumberland Park to-day.
1t was the opening Of the initial race meet
ing under the management of the new
Tennessee Breeders Association. and ev-
erything combined to make the occasion
an suspicious one. The betting was heavy
and but one favorite landed in front. The
Turf Congress Special, with $1,000 added,
was the feature of the card. f. w. Brode
and The Conqueror, at about equal price,
we're heavily backed. knight Banneret,
the winner, was the pick of but few. Brode
made some trouble at the post, but the
field finally broke in a bunch, with the
Schorr pair neck and neck with Banneret.
In another moment the brute in him gained
the ~ascendency, and IL was all Burns could
do to get him past the grand stand. Fur
ther on he grew more stubborn Inc before
the quarter was reached his jockey tired
and brought him back. Meanwhile knight
Banneret was showing the way in a pretty
race. The Griffin colt was never headed,
finally winning in a gallop, two lengths in
front Of The Monk. The Conqueror was
never a factor.

Baseball Notes.

Third Baseman Wolverton, of the Chi
cage National League team, has been re-
leased TO the Philadelphia Club.
The Cleveland papers are already picking
the Babes as this years champions. 1t
would be well to wait a little while before
ordering any flagstaff from which the PEN
pant can fly. There is room on the Indian
apolis flagstaff for another pennant, and at
the end of the season it will not be sur
prising TO see the flag of 1900 unfurled in
this city.
Guese. Gardner and Sanders, the three
men left at home. have been practicing
daily at Washington Park. Guese is a
warm weather pitcher, and when he re-
covers from a slight illness which threw
him back in his progress he will be able
TO take his regular turn in the box. San
ders and Gardner are improving under the
practice they are now receiving.
The American League magnates evidently
knew what they were doing when they
took Cleveland into the circuit. That city
has been counted as a dead one" but it
must be admitted that its resurrection was
a lively one. for the crowds that turned
out to witness the indianapolis games
there were larger than registered In any
city in the league up to date.
From the way the home players drove
the ball at Hartzel 1t would seem that they
were trying to take advantage of that
famous sun field. The left fielder had seven

Plain Dealer.
The loss OF yesterdays game at Cleve-
land made ii three straight the Hoosiers
have lost since leaving home. There is not
the slightest occasion for a Knock how
ever, as every fan in this city believes IL is
only a question of a short time until the
Indianapolis aggregation will get into
shape to crawl back TO the top Of the lad
der and there make a game stand for first
place throughout the season. Manager
Watkins acknowledges that his men are
woefully weak in team work. which fact
was largely accountable for the loss of the
games at Cleveland. They have been field
ing as we'll as any of the teams and their
hitting is up TO the average. but the finish
ing touches of their playing. under the
watchful eye of "Watty," have not been
brought to a stage of perfection as vet,
and when the men get into shape there
will be a more pleasing result Of the games
TO detail. The pitchers, as a rule, have
been suffering from sore arms, and, alto
gether, the team has not rounded into con-
dition. The Indians will surely do better
at Buffalo the first four days OF this week.

BATTING AVERAGES


There has been a great deal said about
the batting strength of the Indianapolis
team, and many of the fans believe that
when the local players get their eyes on
the ball they will stand well up toward
the front in the batting Of the league. AS
will be seen by the table given below two
Of the pitchers now lead the team with a
percentage of .667, but they cannot well be
counted, as they have only been at bat
a limited number of times, and were sue
cessful in placing the ball in safe territory.
Seybold's record of 800 shows he is more
thar capable of taking care of the territory
made vacant by the selling of Mcfarland
to the Chicago Club. Seybold is not the
kind of a batter who will start off with a
wonderful hitting streak and then drop
woefully toward the bottom of the list
after the season Is few weeks old, but he
is the sort of a striker who will stay well
up toward the front during the season.
Magoon also shows he is a very successful
man in welding the stick. Madison, Kelly
and Hogriever are a few of the players
who started off a little weak with the
stick, but are coming to the front every
day, and their hitting in the last few games
has been much better than during the series
at home. The batting averages of the
players who have participated in the In
dianapolis games up to date are as fol-
lows:

TO PREVENT BADNESS.
Some Suggestions by an Instructor I'm
DermatOlOgy.
Medical News.

The men of my fathers generation ha-
bitually used pomades on the scalp. To
protect the chair coverings from the grease
on their heads tides came into vogue. Then
the pendulum swung the other way. and
now pomades of all kinds are tabooed. That
there has been a great increase in bald
ness among young men of the present gen.
GRAFTON is a general impression. although
I know of no statistics TO support or re-
flute il. Some fifteen years ago, when /
first became interested in the study OF dis
eases of the hair, / accepted the teaching
of the time that pomades did no good, and,
becoming rancid, did positive harm. With
charging experience 1 am becoming more
and more convinced that / was wrong and
that one reason why the hair is lost so
early nowadays is because the sons have
forgotten the teachings and practice OF
their fathers I'm regard to the use of POM
AIDES. They neither use pomades nor seek
to stimulate the natural oily supply to the
hair by systematic brushing. Instead, they
daily wet their heads with water TO enable
them to arrange their hair. BY not using
pomades and by wetting the hair instead OF
brushing IL their hair becomes more and
more dry, dandruff increases, and their
hair falls. / believe that If boys were
trained to brush their hair thoroughly ev-
cry night and morning and had a little
pomade that would not turn rancid. such
as contains sulphur or salicylic acid, for
instance, rubbed into their scalps once a
week or so, and avoided wetting their
heads. badness in the rising generation
would not be so prevalent as IL is in this.

gheny County Club to-day to see Harry
Vardon. champion golf player of the world,
meet and defeat Alexander H. Finlay, of
Boston. in a thirty-six hole match. Not
only did Champion Vardon establish a
course record for thirty-six holes when ne
made four rounds of the course in las, but
he established a record for nine holes that
will probably stand for some time to come.
In making a new nine-hole record the
champion made the first six holes in
twenty-five and the next three in eleven. a
total of thirty-three. which was the record
for the course held by Bernard Horne, be-
