The Hoosiers Defeated by the Senators Yesterday. GOOD BATTING BY THE HOME TEAM—HOW THE OTHER GAMES RESULTED—THR RAGE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP PENNANT—NOTES ABOUT CLUBS AND PLAYERS. The victorious Senators turned their attention yesterday from Anson to Glasscock and kept up their winning streak by defeating the Hoosiers handily by the score of 9to6. They accom- plished this by means of hard and well- bunched batting and by good fielding, except st two or three points in the game. The con- test was an uphill struggle for Indianapolis almost from the start, and, with the game well in hand, the home team seemed to play easier, Had they run bases better and played a sharper fielding game they could have finished with the score standing 11 to 1. But the scant thousand spectators were well enough satisfied to see the home club win. There re two or three ints during the latter of the game when looked as though the visitors might win and the sir was still with nervous anxiety. PITCHING AND BATTING. ‘The batteries were Krock and Daly and Boyle and Buckley. The blonde young man whom Indianapolis didn’t want was just good enough to pitch winning ball against his old com- ms, and bad he received « little better support their vase hit column would have suf- fered. Bassett was the only one who could hit him more than once, and he made a great record, two singles and two doubles out of four chances.

Then Mack bi = @ single, but could not get beyond secon: The Hoosiers scored in their half. Hines reached first on balls, but was doubled at sec- ond, when he tried to steal on Buckley's third strike. The next ball from MeGeachy’s bat went to Arthur Irwin, but his brother jumped in front of him and fumbled it, after whic! two-bagzer by Bassett scored the run. Boyle struck out. THE SENATORS TO THE FRONT. The third wasa whirl of batting by Wash- ington. Krock hit safely into left and brother John went to first ou balls. Hoy’s sacrifice to Denny sent both men ahead a base and Wil- mot’s hit scored Krock. Beecher next hit the ball out and John Irwin trotted in. Beecher stole second, which was a useless operation, for Sam Wise saw a ball coming a minute later that he took a fancy to, and he dropped it over the right field fence for four bases.scoring Wil- mot and Beecher withhim. Arthur Irwin went out from short to first and Mack and Daly hit safely, after which Krock flied to Denny, five runs having been scored. After the Hoosiers had been retired in order the Senators proceeded to win the game by mak- ing two more runs. Jobn Irwin led off witha bit and Glasscock fumbled Hoy’s bounder. Wihnot’s hit scored Jobn and put Hoy on third. Walter made s break for second in a minute and reached it, but Curry, who was doing the business, “‘couldn’t see it” and called him out. After Beecher had flied to Denny Sam Wise banged one straight into Giasscock’s hands and-the bull bounded behind him on the field turf, while Hoy scored. EARNING 4 BUN.

The — are a g ive to one that Washington represented in the league in 1890, Apropos of this a well- d_base ball en- thusiast recently remarked to a Stan reporter response to question as to the reason he attributed to the lack of interest in the games here: “That is a difficult question to answer. Various reasons and excuses might be given. The cause is usually attributed to the poor record of the local club in the championship race; but 1am not inclined to accept this theory as the sole cause. Indianapolis, with less than half the population of Washin ton, and with s club whose record is not much better than that of the Senators,has a better average attendance; while Pittaburg, with about an equal number of people to draw from, and with her club also in the second division and playing uneven ball, has more than double the patronage. One great drawback to base ball playing here is the great frequency of afternoon rain-storms and threatening weather, especially in the spring- time, when the interest in the game is at its height. Washington always suffers more from visitations of this kind than any other league city. But,” he continued, “I believe that a —_ team would draw paying crowds even here. It isas certain as fate, howeyer, that a league club cannot be maintained in Washing- ton at the rate of attendance during the present season.” The league records up to September 1 show that Dailey of Boston leads the pitchers, with Haddock ‘second and George Keefe third, Gruber and Clarkson are tied for fifth, with O’Brien sixth and Krock seventh.

Parrxce Gzonce’s County, Mp., September 10, 1889, To the Editor of Tax Evewine Stax: Sm: In your paper of yesterday your Bladensburg regular correspondent stated that I offered & resolution to instruct the delegates to oppose A. P. Gorman. There was no resolution so offered. The resolution that I did offer, and which was oppoted by the delegates that had been elected to go to Marl- boro’, was as follows: Resolved, that the dele- gates be instructed to vote for no one for office who is opposed to tariff reform or economy in state government. Now, Mr. Editor, every re- publican, democratic, or labor convention, either national or state, have pledged that, if elected, they would carry out these prin- ciples, but it remained for the Bladensburg delegates to oppose them. We are to have a centennial exposition in this country in 1392 where there are to be the most wonderful ex- hibits to be found. I little thought that I would apply for space in it, but I will do so now, as I intend to apply for space for these delegates who oppose tariff reform or economy in state expenses. If Columbus could retarn to earth and see America as she will be in 1892 I do not think he would be more astonished at its growth than would be the visitors who would see the delegates who opposed a resolu- tion that would tead not only to the prosperity of the United States, but of every state, county and person. I wassorry your regular corre- spondent was not present, so he would have been able to give acorrect report, as he al- ways does. Notwithstanding the views of the Bladensburg delegates, I still maintain my resolutions were right, and every one can stand by them, no matter what their politics are, their color, previous condition or servi- tude. I made comments on Senator Gorman, whom I consider as well represented by the Bladensburg delegates. BIGHT Rives. Reforms Proposed in Wyoming. In the constitutional convention at Cheyenne, W.T., yesterday, Mr. Fox of Albany offered a proposition adopting the Australian system of balloting, Other suggestions were that no county or town should be bonded; that no cor- poration receive finsucial asswstance or land grants from the state, and that each county be entitled to one representative in the senior house of the legislative assembly, ———- 00 Killed by the Mental Strain, Rev.

An Indian arrived at West Selkirk, Man., from Lake Winnipeg Sunday night, and reports that he found several bodies that had been washed ashore. One of them he recognized as James Burkett, a Minnesota man, who had been working at Crow's Mill two weeks ago. A number of mill hands, twenty, it is said, started across the lake in a sail boat, and, although the trip should not have occupied more-than « day, they have not yet been heard of.

From the New York Times, Up in the Baptist section of Westchester county, near Chappaqaa, « funny story is told of a young man who enjoyed the reputation of being the most incorrigible liar of the neigh- borhood and the worst stutterer in the state.

Many wanted to wager that “Bill” (the convert) would weaken on ac- count of the weather and postpone operations for afew monthe. but they were mistaken in their guess, for Bill, egy oo a little moisture gathered in his eyes as he looked on the cold, gray surface of the river, walked in like a little and bobbed way under at the proper time. n be came up his brother, who was among the spectatora, forgot in his interest end called out: “How d’ye feel, Bill?” “A-a-all r-r-right,” articulated the convert, “Are you cold?” 'N-n-no-o,” said poor Bill, “Parson! parson!” yelled the brother. “It's no use; you'll have to duck himover.

The reception last evening to Gov. Thayer of Nebraska by the Irish societies of Milford, ‘Mass., was a very successful affair. The streets | were crowded with enthusiastic people. and the’ illuminatious and decorations were quite gen- eral. A large procession escorted Gov. Thayer from the Mansion house to the town hail, where Mr.P. H.Curran delivered an address of welcome to which Gov. Thayer responded appropriately. There were also speeches by a number of prom- inent Irish Americans, atter which an informal reception was held, and a banquet followed. ‘The governor was presented with a fine gold headed biack-thorn stick by the Emmet asso- ciation, The occasion of these honors to Gov. ‘Thayer was his recent defense of Hon.

Somehow, wherever Vance and Cummings laid the foundation for some fun Martin of Texas wouldn't have the fun. The dinner dragged a little, but finally came the time for the toasts. The three en- tertainers and two othera.at the table pulled their toy cannons and put them beside their lates, Each lit a cigarette, Martin gave ‘unny little look at the cannon, and then wi a movement as quick as flash went to his hip and laid a huge Colt revolver, loaded to the muzzle, beside his plate. Vance and O'Neill turned pale and red by turns. Cummings murmured something, but Martin of Texas cheerily remarked: “The waiter didn’t gi me any artillery, and, of course, I've got to join in your salute. Touch ’em off, gentlemen!” pe he swung the revolver square in Vance's face. The cannon were not touched off. And then the boys began to see that their huge joke on Martin of Texas had proved a fizzle, but Mi tin of Texas, though enjoying their discom- fiture, was disposed to be generous.

The committee has now completed its labors except writing up the report to be sub- mitted to the legislature, which, they say, will be ready about the Ist of November. When the committee hasits report ready the governor will convene the legisiature in extra session to pass upon it and determine the matter, There were 3,500 contested votes which have been heard aud decided by the committee, after hearing all the testimony upon both sides, and there is very little doubt that the report will be adopted by the legislature. eee.
