NOTES OF THE GAME.
Sawyer, the left-handed pitcher of the Cleve-
lands, can curve a ball further than any man
who has thus far appeared on the Indianapolis
grounds.
KNOCK her over the canal Paddy" yelled
some one in the grand stand when Callahan
stepped to the plate in the third inning. He
didn't want much, either.
Parry Wrish is a good umpire, and his judg-
ment is in almost every case correct. No
amount of argument on the part of players nor
the evident disfavor of the crowd can influence
him to alter decision once made.
The boys left for Evansville at IL last night,
where they play to-day and tomorrow On
Monday the Detroit League nine will be here,
returning for another game later In the week;
Tuesday and Wednesday the Port Hurons are
here again, and on Thursday the Baltimores
play.
The crowd yesterday was unusually good ma
tured. In the fifth inning after Hunter had
been knocked out, and Kerins made his second
twO-base hit off of Sawyer some facetiOus indi-
vidua arose to inquire "Have Won got any more
ptchers2" ana when Peltz followed Kerins with
another twO-bagger. still another citizen shout
ed Bring on another boss"
Manager Watkins, OF the Port Hurons, writes
to the journal, from Terre Haute, concerning
statement in the Sentinel to the effect that
Thompson, of the Port Hurons, had been guilty
of using offensive language on the bali
field, that the language referred to was
addressed to a spectator, who first openly in
suited the player, that there no ladies
within hearing as stated by the Sentinel, and
that the pTOvocatiOn offered would have aroused
regrets exceedingly that the affair occurred.
Most of the Port HuroDs at least are an exceed.
ing well-behaved set of ball players and impro-
per conduct is not common with Them by any
means,
Before the game it became evident from the
large number of carriages In the field, close TO
the fences that it would he necessary to agree
upon the namber of bases to be taken by the
batsnan in case the ball fell among the vehicles,
and two bases were accordingly agreed upon as
the limit. This rule, while it perfectly fair,
of course, operated directly against the home
club, and kept out at least two runs for
the Indianapolis boys and probably allowed
of the Cleveland men to score. In the
DUNLAP made a bit down among the carriages
in right field, on which BroughtOa was allowed
to score, although to do 30 he had TO make three
bases. Umpire Wright held, however, that the
the runner off. On the other hand, Peoples
PETIT and Kerins (the latter twice. could have
easily made three bases their hits, in the alb.
sence of any agreement to the contrary.
