BASEBALL NOTES.

Newlin and Volz haven't secured control
of the ball as yet. but they will be all right
in couple of days.
George Mullin is in wonderful shape and
for five innings yesterday he allowed the
HoosierS only one little hit.
Marshall will never be good enough for
fast company until he becomes more ener-
getic and studies the game.
Walter Wimot, erstwhile big Lacquer and
manager of the Minneapolis team, will play
in the outfield at Dayton this season.
Lindsay was sent to bat for Newlin and
NolZ yesterday, a slight breach of the rules
but Detroit waved point, it was only
an exhibition game.
Little Johnny Fisher is making a remark
ably good showing with Indianapolis this
season, and If he continues to show inn
provement he has a chance of landing a
berth with the Hoosiers.
Manager Barrows has just cause to feel
proud of the Tigers this season. Although
the team is slightly crippled with Carr out
of the game, Detroit is playing a very fast
game and the pitchers seem to be i'm excel
lent shape for the opening of the champion
ship season next week.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-04-08

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is certainly wise to take the proper
steps after the late disastrous floods TO pro-
vide permanently against their recurrence.
The city engineer has doubtless made very
moderate estimates for this and they
should at least be carefully considered be-
fore the matter is dropped. The wise action
taken some years ago TO prevent the occa-
sional overflow of West Indianapolis by Mr..
Mccarthy has saved property owners there
hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why
not do some such substantial work along
the river and its tributaries? Some one has
suggested that by deepening the channels
of all these streams enough dirt could be-
had TO dyke them all. But the gravel ana
sand taken from the beds OF the streams
would make poor dyke material, as the
water. when at flood, would soon. by seep-
ing, make breaks in them. Plenty OF
heavy clay can be found for dykes. and
that will stand the fCod. The city should
Tot allow another year TO go by without
this permanent Improvement for protection.

PROTECTION ASKED FOR
FOREIGN MINERS

SEOUL, Korea, April ii. N. Jordan and
III. n. Allen, respectively ministers to Korea
of Great Britain and the United States,
have requested the Korean government to
give protection to British and American
miners. This request is mere formality,
as the japanese have given assurances Of
safety from local ,uprisings-
Mr.. Jordan says the japanese have been
extremely considerable with regard to the
British mines. They have desire to
hamper mining operations, they promised
not to make heavy levies of food on the
farmers of the surrounding country and
they agree to facilitate the passage of
specie for payment of wages and even to
supply specie for this purpose. They will
also safeguard the transportation of bull
lion from the mines to the coast.
