Even With the Assistance of Umpire Seward the New Yorkers Did Nothing More Than Tie the Score. HE 1,200 spectators who witnessed the game yesterday afternoon between the Louisvilles and the New Yorks saw remarkable contest. There were many reasons why we did not win, though not defeated. First and foremost, fact that should occupy position on the topmost point of the Cathedral steeple, was the bayed umpiring o. Seward, ex pitcher of the Athletics, and at present a sub-umpire of the big League.
From the first of the game to the time the last man was put out in he ninth inning, he was roundly hissed by both spectators and players. He seemed to feel certain that the Giants would win, and shaped his decisions accordingly. It is a conservative estimate to say that he kept the Louisvilles from winning in four instances. Such was the rankness of his decisions that the game lasted over three hours, the players wrangling the greater part of the time. The Louisvilles got the worst of it by tar.
They should have had victory with ease. The feature of the game was the manner in which the home boys got out of the rut in the ninth inning. With the score, 11 to 7 in favor of the Giants, the Louisville team, by grand effort, pulled, knocked, fought and ran out four scores, and the game was tie: In the New Yorks' half of this inning Kelly was substituted for Milligan. and batted out of turn. He struck out, and Doyle was declared out by Seward, after he had consulted the official scorer, and had received vigorous protests from both teams.
Rhodes pitched a magnificent game, and in the last inning saved the day by stfiking out two men. Schmidt, the German left-hander, pitched for New York, and, assisted by Umpire Seward's exceedingly erroneous decisions, was fairly elective. The game was what should be known see-saw up to the ninth Inning. The Louisvilles tied the score four times, but becatise of the contention incident to Mr. Seward's decisions, the game was long drawn out and tiresome.
The last inning, however, was exciting enough to suit an intoxicated cowboy. With the bases full in this inning, and, after Browning had brought run in with hit, Ward got excited and hastily took Schmidt from the game, eubstituting Mark Baldwin. Mark fared little better. The pluy of Stafford, who made his debut in the big League yesterday, was watched with interest. He is a good ball player, but his muff of Weaver's fly in the ninth inning lost the game fur New Yorks.
In the first inning Tom Brown struck out, O' Rourke made a scratch hit past Schmidt, and Seward called Grim out on strikes. The Giants made two runs in their half. Stafford beat an easy bunt to first. Tiernaa flow out to Browning. Stafford had, stolen second, and taken third on T.ernan's out.

Davis then put long fly in right field for three bases, and Stafford and Tiernan scored, Connor put a long fly in Weaver's hands Weaver made a magnificent throw home, and caught Davis at the elate, completing a pretty double.

The crowd almost went wild when the tying score crossed the plate. Capt. Ward placed Kelly at the bat in the last half and he struck out. It was Doyle's turn at bat, and he was declared out, since Kelly had batted out of his turn. Burke hit to center and went to third on error of Grim's throw to second to catch him.

The suit is similar to that tiled a week ago against the Baltimore club, and arises out of the Brotherhood war and clligations incurred in effort to establish an Aseociation team at Pendieton Park, Cincinnati. PROTEST FROM CHARLESTON. Claim Made That the Awarding of the Penant to Augusta Was Illegal, Atlanta, July 6. -Manager Long, of the Charleston Club, arrived to day and entered a protest against the award of the first season championship to the Augusta Club.
He claims that the meeting of last night was illegal because only five of the twelve clubs were represented, and that the unplayed game of yesterday between Augusta and Charleston should have been declared forfeited to Charleston, thus making the result a tie for the first place. Manager Long has made formal demand on the League for meeting to settle the dispute. DELIGHTED AT THEIR RUSE. The Louisville Club Officials Tickled Outwitting Parkland -John M. Ward Denounces a Sun Article.
In every place where base ball is discussed, on every street corner where enthusiasts of the national game are wont to congregate, there was rejoicing last. night. The three happiest men in the city were J. George Ruckstuhl, Manager Barnie and Fred They felt they had good reason for rejoicing. In exactly two mo nutes the entire legal and religious portion of Parkland was knocked higher that a kite.
Sunday games can now be played with impunity and beer can be sold at the club's sweet will. Some days ago the scheme was planned by which an attempt was to be made to have Mr. Ruckstuhl's new park annexed to the oity. The seleme was kept very quiet, and while many knew that preparations were being made to defeat the Parklanders few were aware of the modus operandi. To disarm SISpicion, at the eleventh hour Manager Barnie went before the Parkland Council at its meeting several nights ago and begged that the desired privilege he granted, Of course h's request was refused.
Manager Barnie stated last night The that beer would he sold at the new park. Brooklyns will play the first Sunday game here this season day after to. will morrow. It in probable that many games be transferred to Sunday dates, as a large crowd always attends. The New York Sun of yesterday published a statement to the effect that new manager was to be chosen for the New York team, and that several changes would be made, as a result of dissatisfaction on the part of the stockholders of the club.
Manager and. Capt. John M. Ward was seen at the Louisville Hotel by a Courier-Journal reporter and shown the statement. In answer he showed the following telegram he had.
just received: John M. Ward- Some mischief-makers are at work. Not word of truth in the Sun artiele published this morning. B. TALCOTT." Capt.
Ward then stated that Mr. Talcott. was acting President of the New York Club; that he virtually owned it, ad almost the entire stock was his. That statement, said the great player, is intended to do mne a personal injury. know, and the base ball public of the metropolis knows, very well why it is done.
Since Mr. Talcott is almost the sole owner I. should say, from his telegram, that the matter is a fabrication. As for contemplated changes, I know of none. All the men are playing their very best, and they are behaving admirably, You see the entire team seated around here they at have the acted hotel.
Well, since that's the way ever we started on the Western trip. Not a man has dissipated in any way. They all play ball to win, but were unfortunate crippled. I am injured, we are without Faller's Rusie services, is Kelly is not vet in good shape, sick, and Keeler, who played second base to day, is just recovering from the effects of a broken leg. Statford, the new man, made a costly error to day, but it was certainly excusable.
It was his first day in the League, and he was a little over anxious. He is a fine ball player, and I know he will create a sensation among the ball public of New York. Yes, the man that made that statement in the New York Sun is trying to do me personal injury, and I do not know how to set myself aright with the ball public." Amos Ruste has been sick at his home in Indianapolis, for several days, He tolegraphed Manager Ward 1 that he would report here to day. Davies, however, will probably officiate tor the Giants this afternoon. Milligan will go behind the bat, Stratton will do the pitching for Manager Barnie's men, and Grim will catch him.
Another great game expected. Play will be called at 4 p. m. 11 yesterday's game is to be taken as criterion, the New Yorks are not dirty ball players. Few clubs that have been here this season have acted as the Giants did yesterday.
They play hard to win, however, until the last man is out. The Louisvilles of late have apparently acquired the habit of knocking out an indefinite number of runs in the ninth inning. Thia is a great habit, but it could be improved upon by occurring little earlier in the game. The New York's do not win because they field the ball and. walk up to the plate with an can idea.
The Louisville's manner! of Now. thinking some days have ago was the same happily they considerably wore confidence. Seward knows as much about umpir4 ing a game of ball as a colored cotton picker in Mississippi knows about plrad ing a con licated law case.

Itnow, rudely addressed Hogue and asked him what he knew about base-bail. His answer caused the man to strike him behind the left ear, and he fell over a salt barrel and struck the right side of his head on a stone. He arose, but made no effort to defend himself.
His assailant and several witnesses left, and McCaftrey. who also lives with the (Clemm family, started hame in company with Hogue, who complained that he was badly hurt. When the house was reached; Hogue went to his room and threw himselt upon the bed without disrobing. He soon afterward became unconscious, and suddenly died.

The United States District Court, for the Southern district of Indiana, convened in the Government building at New Albang yesterday morning. Judge Baker, of Indianapolis, presided, and District Attorney Frank B. Burke, United States Clerk Noble C. Butler and United States Marshal Hawkins were in attendance.
When the docket was called all the civil cases, except that of Sutton vs. Goldhach, were continued until the next term of court. The trial of the criminal cases was then entered into. The case of the United States vs. Henry Smelzer was the first case called, and the regular panel was found qualitied to try the case, Sanelzer was indicted by the Federal grand jury at Indianapolis last February, and was charged with having reseived an exorbitant pension fee.
He is a pension agent in Crawford county, and several months ago secured pension for James Linton, on which the back pay amounted to $1,400. He is said to have received 10 per cent. of that amount as his fee, whereas the law forbids a pension attorney charging mote than $25 for such services. The prosecution presented its side of the case by explaining what was charged in the indictwent. When Jerry Sudduth, attorney for defendant, arose to state what lie intended to prove, he gave the outlines for a defense which was unusual and sensational.
According to his side of the case the defendant was being put in jeopurdy through spite, and the entire case was the direct, outcome of the White Cap troubles Crawford county. He did not deny the payment of the money, but explained it claim by saying which it was in payment of another Linton owed. He asserted that have Linton was induced by other to Smelzer indicted, in order that pereons these outsiders might be revenged upon the latter. wo years ago Smelzer and the notorious Bill Gregory, who has been termed King of the Waite Caps, had a personal ditti all, in which several other rsons participa.ed.

When the to pension Smelzer'a was obtained negory, according statement, ordered Onton to appear before the grand jury and have Smalzer indicted. Linton and Smelzer were friends, but the former was, it is alleged, afraid to disobey, and the indictment.

Clean cooking means much to every right-minded woman. All dirt isn't black, seeable dirt. There's the ammonia that's in some baking powders, though it's invisible it's filth none the less. If it gets into your bread, cakes and pastry, that's dirty cooking. To make sure that your baking powder does not contain ammonia or alum, see that the label tells all the ingredients used.
If not, it's pretty certain that there is something in the powder that the manufacturers don't want you to know about. You are sure of clean, wholesome cooking with Cleveland's baking powder.

Goldbach will be tried. Both are residents of Jeffersonville, and large number of witnesses from that city are in attendance. Miss Sutton is an actress, and in her complaint she alleges that the defendant accosted her on the streets of Jeffersonville, and after heaping all manner of indignities upon her called her vile names in the presence of her friends.

Jeffersonville's effort to float city bonds. to, rotund $13,009 worth of 6 per cent. bonds due in 1904 and $50,000 worth of 51-2 per cent. bonds due in 1905, miscarried. The failure is attributed to tho financial stringency.
Sinking Fund Commissioners E. C. Enken and George Plau, Sc. arranged with Colin Stanton, of New York, to float the bonds and deposited the certificates in a national bank in that city subject to the call of the firm named. In the meantime it transpired that the old bonds, which Coffin Stanton were going to redeem in New York, were redeemable only in Jeffersonville.
Then the brokers clined to take up the now bonds, claiming in justification that the proceeding, under the circ*mstances, would bo irregular. Commissioner Eaken, however, regards this as a subterfuge of the company to extricate itself from a hard task. Commissioners Eaken and Pfau say the action of Collin Stanton will not. affect the financial condition of Jeffersonville. No bonds are due until 1895, and they say the amount can be easily met at that time.
The object of the Commissioners to refund the old bonded indebtedness was to save the city onehalt of 1 per cent. interest. James D.
