CENTRAL LEAGUE GOSSIP.


Special TO the indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. Aug. 2e.-The race
in the Central League this week has been
close for the respective positions as Il Was
last week and with no change. Fort Wayne
still leads South Bend for first place. South
Bend made an offer for Rube Waddell. the
suspended pitcher OF the Philadelphia
American League team. but the answer
given to Columbus. which also wanted him
that his suspension would stand-applies
to South Bends offer as we'll Marion has
third place fixed beyond doubt. Anyone
of the last five teams can finish i'm fourth
place. Evansville is now there. but Wheel
ing, Terre Haute and Dayton are easily
within reach. while it is possible for Grand
Rapids to climb to the position in the TWEEN
ty games yet TO be played.
President Smith has asked that the games
scheduled with Evansville for Sept. and
Z, with a double header Labor day, DO
transferred from Evansville to this city.
The Evansville attendance has fallen of
until the receipts are hardly sufficient to
pay ground expenses. whereas the TerTe
Haute fans who stood by the club through
the long siege OF decentralization when tho
club was anchored at the bottom are Civ
ing even better support now that the club
has begun winning games IL Is not likely
that President Bement of Evansville, will
consent because he believes that the people
of his town Will rally TO his support IN the
windup of the season.
The dissatisfaction with the management
of the umpires increases as the season
draws to an end.
Edward Ashenback has been signed 10
manage the Evansville team TO succeed
News who was released because the
Evansville fans complained that ne was the
cause of the tumble in the Evansville
teams position i'm the race. President Be
