Although WEIGH pitched exceptionally we'll
against the Indianapolis club yesterday. the lat
ter lost thu game by the ranksss kind OF head
work On one occasion catcher. Myers allowed
q runner TO score when he stood right in front Of
him with ball in his hand At another time,
Glasscock tried to 60 to third on hit on which
he could almost have been thrown out at second;
and. at still another time, McGeachy could east
ly have scored run oy sliding, in failing to do
which he touched out. As re-
suit OF this exhibition, which does
not appear to have been q discreditaoie
defeat, judging from the score, the loo people
who saw it went away in . very poor humor
Welsh pitched well enough to have won VIC
tory but the felders made errors behind him
ct the critical time Boyle, with his usual luck,
pitched carefully when IL did no good. Hereto
fore the Hoosisrs have batted WEIGH harder
than any team ia the country, but they fell
down yesterday, although they managed to bat
out an earnsd run in the closing inning. The
New Yorks came on the field with another new
set OF uniforms-this time whits-and looked
almost as well as they did on Friday. They
were also reinforced by John Ward, who played
very fair game, making one fine stop, but failing
70 GET very dificulr ball from Bassetts bat,
which brought in one of the Hoosierss runs.
Umpires Daniels and Valentine changed places,
the latter going behind the bat, where he exper-
fenced q rather rough time Of IL, being kicked at
by the battsrs and receiving severe rap over
the head by foul tip. Daniels also got into
difficulty with Ward, at second base, the result
of his failing to call Bassett out in the rst Inn,
ing. when he stole to second, while Ward Was
covering that base. The game was rendered IN
te-esting by the closeness Of the score, but the
homo players did too little batting TO enable the
spectators to grow very enthusiastic
The home club, as usual, took the bats. Hines
batted to Richardson. who made low throw to
first, the runner stopping at second A wild
pitch advanced him to third, and then both
Denny and Seery struck out. but bassett drove
a hard groundsr past short, which Ward got In
front of but did not stop. and Hines scored.
Ward should nave been called out on strikes,
but got his base on balls, did Herman, after
Richardson had sent fly to Bassett Then
Common and Whitney few out to McGeachy.
After two outs In the second Myers got .
base on balls. stole second and went TO third
on passed ball. but Boyle made the third out.
Slattery in this inning surprised Boyle by bat
ting out a two-bagger. He went to third on
sacrifice and scored on a very unfortunate wild
pitch. Herman and Conner got in hits In the
third. but were left The score remained tie
until the sixth inning, when Slsstery. after one
man was out, made q safe hit ORourke's sac
rr6ce advanced him to second, and another
wild pitch by Boyle put him on third Murphy
then bstted a ball down in front of the plate and
set out to beat it to first Slattery, n the
meantime, came toward the plate. Myers
picked up the ball, and all he needed to do was
to touch S.attery, who was only five feet from
and right in front OF him, but, instead. no threw
to first, and threw wild, Murphy reaching first
and the runner scoring. The New Yorks added
another On hits by Ward and Conner and y sac
rifice in tie seventh inning. In the sixth inning
Denny was given a base on balls, and Seery fol-
lowed with liner to right field which Herman
caught and threw TO second, doubling up
Denny. This was about the only hard luck
the home club experienced. In the eighth inn
ing the indianapolis players should have made
run. McGeachy was on third, and Schoeneck
on second, with two hands out and two strikes
on Myers, when Schoeneck purposely led off from
second in order 10 get WEIGH to throw there
WEIGH did so, and McGeac6y started for the
plate Wards return was high, and had Nc
Geachy slid he would have reached the plate
IN safety. But he was touched out. In the
ninth inning a run was added on Bassetts two
Dagger and McGeaehy's single. The lively right
fielder stole both second and third. but was left
by Sehoeneck who struck out. Score.
