 He made an error In attempting to re- tire a runner.
 He hit a batsman, and walked others. l naddition, his support was very bad! Taking advantage of this condition of affairs the Memphil piled up nine runs. On the other hand MT Schwenck had nothing to bumgoozle the Barons, and unadulterated luck was all that saved him in the beginning.
 Towards the conclusion of his tenure of office the Barons began slugging him to every corner. He sailed into the air, bidding farewell to uncomfortable earth, the old farm with the trees and the chickens
 Taking advantage of this condition of affairs. the Barons scored at will, and when MT. Schwenck was finally driven from the slab, the Memphii were lead ng by a short nose
 At the beginning of the seventh, Turner was supplanted by Mccain Robinson, and Schwenck yielded his possession of tue slab to MT. Savidge.
 The visitors went out in the seventh without threatening the plate.
 For the Barons, Lew Walters smashed the first ball thrown over the pan to deep center and went two sacks. After Robinson had famed, Lew at tempting to steal third.
 Just as he neared the base. Owens threw the ball to Baerwald, and that gen tleman turned 1t into the crowd. Walters scored.
 But, as stated above, MT. Carpenter. perhaps believing the Barons had gone far enough in overcoming the lead Of the visitors, sent Lew back to third. Manning then struck out, and Demont followed suit-both efforts being miser- sble.

It was a glorious day for the west

Manager Ryan yesterday acquired the services of Outfielder Kay, for several weeks of last season with Washington, during which service he hit at N.333 clip.
 Ryan Is strengthening his team.
 At the beginning of the season Ryan won game after game with most in- ferior aggregation.
 It was then predicted that he would either finish very low or be compelled to strengthen.
 He wisely took the latter course.
 As was predicted, Ryan has retired from the profession us an active per former.
 He will soon be compelled to dis pose of Van Anda, thon whom there Is no weaker twirler in the South ern league.
 It is reported that he is endeav oriEg g to trade Moose" Baxter. This will be wise move.
 Ryan is good fellow, personally and his recent moves reveal the fact that he is a capable man to have al the head of a ball team.
 Right now he is on the trail of Nick" Carter, one of Philadelphia's pitch CTS.

saving the people much money? Why
should the taxpayers suffer because of
the fight between these politicians and
their factions? II is clearly evident
that Republican affairs and not the
peoples business are at the bottom
OF the trouble.
The whole thing is an outrage on
the public All that the Democratic
members can do is to stand unitedly
and firmly together. They will. Of
course vote TO correct the Republican
blunder in the appropriation laws. Al
ter that is done there is no reason for
prolonging the session and putting the
people to expense. II more than that

rest upon the Republicans and the
public will so understand. IL the

The SPECIAL SESSION AND

mand it. AT cost no greater than a
small amount Of interest the financial
embarrassment OF the state caused by
the Republican blunder in the appro-
priation laws enacted at the last ses-
sion could have been tided over. II
there is a might rider" epidemic any
where in Indiana there is already
power and money in the hands OF the
authorities to deal with IT, The Vim
cennes claim is a matter that the leg
islature settled at the last session
over the governors veto.
These are the only reasons given by
Governor Hanly for calling the extra
ordinary session. except the eonsidera-
ton OF a local option law. Concern.
ing this question both parties made
declarations in their platforms. and the
merits Of these respective declarations
are TO be passed on BY the voters at
the November election There was no
reason for anticipating the action Of
the people OF attempting to forestall
their decision
But Hanly and Watson and other
Republican leaders and candidates got
into a quarrel. They doubted each
others sincerity They questioned
each Others good faith. Each one had
poor opinion Of the others political
honesty. The governor wrote letters
TO Watson and other candidates and

The fact that the governors "ofi

other factions satisfactory to him. is
absolute and irrefragible proof that no
real necessity existed for putting the
people to the great expense Of an

Mr.. Vidger will get sand near

by the I. & w. N. He says there
is good sand available within three
miles of this place but it would
have to be hauled and would thus
cost more than the Newport sand
which can be obtained at cost of

can be purchased at 5000 a car

was pointed out which should be
done in carrying out the idea of

was also called to the good work
already done and the credit due
therefore.
The club voted to amend the

instead of once month, and here
