Local Players Twelve Earned Runs.
The Home Team Holds Fifth Place--Ths Blue
Ribbon Batteries Of Each Club VIII
Be in the Points To-Day.

The effect of victory was very apparent yes
terday in the increased attendance at the ball
park. The grand stand was almost filed, and
the other seats contained quite a respectable
number. The number OF ladies was larger than
at any time this season. The big crowd had
plenty to grow enthusiasts over, as the home
team administered defeat TO the worlds
champions that was even more decisive than
the one they gave them the previous day. Hines
reappeared with the home club, which served in
q measure to encourage them; and, after they
had lighted upon BAldwln's pitching in the first
inning for Ave runs, the contest looked like an
other easy thing for indianapolis, but some
loose hsldirg and good hitting BY the
visitors helped them to tie the score before

should not be condemned too readily.
