them considerable advantage over the

there was some fine playing by both

their baskets, one from the field by
Captain Nelson and a foul throw by

Some Facts About Indoor Baseball. Game
That Bids Fair to Become Popular Here

tomorrow looks like a broomstick in
comparison with real bat but it does
the business just the same. 1t is be-
tween two and a half and three feet
long and is one and one-quarter in
ches in diameter. 1t is not very for
midable looking but it will soon be
found that ii can bang the ball long
distances wien the right man has hold
of it.
The actions of the pitcher will seem
a little strange to the fans for a time
at least, IS he is the only man who
does not perform about the same at
the outdoor players do. He is not al
lowed to throw the ball as his more
| fortunate outdoor brother is. He must
confine himself to pitching the ball
with an underhand swing which makes
speed and curves almost an impossi-
bility. He stands from 80 to 81 feet
away from the batter and has to be
careful to have both his heels on the
lline at the rear end of his pitching box
before he pitches or a balk will be
called upon Lin. He does not get the
advantage of foul balls, either, as does
the outdoor performer. A foul ball
unless caught by the catcher, is a
wasted bail for it does not cost the
batter anything as it would in the
outdoor game.
4 Another thing that will appear funny
for time is the rule which requires
a base runner to hold his hoof on the
, base until the ball lands in the catch
er's mitt Some of the fans win be
come excited and coach the runner tt
I"get lead,' when under the rules h,
will not be allowed to do so and if h,
ldoes the umpire will majestical1y wav,
him back to the base for another trial
Ion the whole, though, the game look
Ialmost like the real affair and Their
lis no doubt but that it will bring tn
fans out and keep them coming.

Those baseball fans who at the rink
tomorrow afternoon and evening wit
ness their first game of indoor base
ball will see a game that is almost the
same as their favorite outdoor game.
Just such changes as were considered
absolutely necessary to make it pos
sible to play the game within doors
were made by the originators of the
game and the result is that the bugs
can easily imagine they are at the Is
land City park again. In the frs.
place there are the same number of
players as the fans are accustomed to
seeing and they will probably be plac-
ed in the same general locations,
though one of the cutfielders may be
brought up to the diamond to serve as
an additional shortstop between first
and second base The bases are any
where from q to SIS feet apart, accord
| ing to the size of the hall, and the
same base lines and foul lines are
used in the indoor game as are used
in the outdoor game.
/ The ball used is considerably larger
1 than the ordinary baseball and is
rather soft so that if anyone happens
4 to get hit with it he will not have to
i lay off the next day from injuries. The
bat, too, is little less dangerous look
ing than the kind Murphy, Mcbride

TURK WINS AGAIN
Yussif Mahmout Defeats Americas in
Straight Falls at Chicago
Armory.
HARD TIME GETTING FIRST
Advantage of 20 Pounds in Weight
Helps, Though Little Man Put Up
"a Shifty Battle.

Chicago, Dec 19.-Yussif Mahmout
the giant Bulgarian wrestler, defeated
"Americus" (Gus Schoenlein) in their
bout at the 7th regiment
last night in two straight falls,
the first in 57:45, with grapevine,
and the second in 1:07, with similar
hold.
The first bout produced the best
wrestling seen in Chicago since the
mat renaissance. "Americus," out
weighed by perhaps 20 pounds, put up
a fast and shifty exhibition, his work
appearing to surpass that of Frank
Beell, whom the Bulgarian defeated a
week ago. For the first. five minutes
there was series of lively shifts for
favorable position. Several times in
this bout both men were cautioned by
Referee Dick Fleming, the Turk" for
an attempted strangle hold and "Amer-
icus' for pushing his shoulder into his
opponents face.
Weight Helps MahmOnt.
AS the bout wore on the men went
to the mat on numerous occasions.
Three times the TURK" found the
floor in sitting position, with "Ameri-
Gus" in front pushing against his body.
but the lighter man was unable to fol
low up the advantage and push down
the Bulgarian's shoulders for the fall.
During most of the period "Ameri-
Gus" was on the defensive and clever
| ly broke a number of threatening
holds, to the delight of the apprecia.
tive crowd. The work was rough at
times. but apparently there was no
bad feeling between the men.
The beginning of the end of this
bout was a toe lock secured by Nah
mout, from which he secured a double
bar hold and switched it to a grape
vine for the fall.
| Quick Work by Bulgarian.
| After the interval, Mahmout made
short work of his opponent. Whether
Americas" was weakened from hi.
previous bout, or whether he was care
less, the Bulgarian quickly carried hin
to the mat, and in scarcely more thar
a minute pinned him down with thu
grapevine.

President-Elect Sexton of Three-Eye
League Proposes to Sit
on the Lid.
MAKE OWNERS FEEL BETTER
Hopes to Avoid Recurrence of Evi.
dences Of Discomfort Manifested
Last Season.

my chief aim at president of the
Three-Eye league will be to enforce
economy all along the line so that the
owners of the different clubs may, if
possible partially recoup for their
losses of several seasons and become
more cheerful lot" said M. H. Sex
ton, president-elect of the Three-Eye
league, today.
"Of course the salary question is the
biggest one we will have to deal with
If the limit that has been set is OBJ
served, mileage, umpire's salary and
other questions will be of secondary
Importance. With normal weather and
good schedule the league should be
in better financial condition next fall
than ever before. This disposition
to give up franchises or shift the owner
ship of clubs TO other shoulders which
has been so generally manifested par
ticularly since the close of last season
is bad sign and l am in hopes that
the magnatcs may be brought to q
better frame of mind"
Mr. Sexton is in favor of 140-game
schedule. instead of one of 1875 games,
as recommended at the Chicago meet
ing. for the reason that the longer
season will do away with II or Is open
dates and will give each city 10 Sun
day games 1t costs about $3.50 a day
to run the average Three-Eye club
and open dates are costly.
Mr.. Sexton also says he believes that
Rock Island and Davenport should
waive objections to conflicting dates
at least as an experiment, to give the
schedule makers a wider range in theil
