The Home Players Win After Earnest and
Brilliant Work.
Getzein's fine work in the box, coupled
with his excellent support, barring the
sixth inning, when Hines made the only
two errors charged to his side, enabled the
Hoosiers to score rather an easy victory
over the Bostons at the League Park, yes
terday afternoon, The result was highly
gratifying to the 1000 spectators present.
Young Madden was at the pitching end OF
the line for the visitors and Kelly was be-
hind the bat. The little left-hander was
not as effective as usual against the local
men, as they hit hard and at the right
time. He was also wild, and his bases on
balls were expensive. He had but little
encouragement to pitch, however, as
his support was of the worst kind.

the Hub making blunders that would be
discreditable to an amateur. BrOuthers,
Smith, CANCEL, Brown, and even Captain
Kelly, all played Indifferent ball. Richard
son alone did good work for his side. On the
other hand the Hoosiers played great
game, and used the stick with telling effect
Denny did brilliant service at third, and
= Glasscock fully sustained his high reputa-
ti0n as player. Bassett also played clean
game, while Daily caught in fine style. The
outtielders had but little to do. McGeachy
participated with Denny in fine double
play. the former making brilliant assist
from right field, throwing a man out at
third after catching Smiths high fly.
Getzein kept the hits well sep

runs of the visitors. their work

sett and Hines did the best batting for the
Hoosiers, though Sullivan's single in the
fifth was timely, sending two men across
the plate. Seery also had fine two-bagger
just at the right time in the fourth.
The home men commenced to score in the
opening inning, GlasscOck reaching first on

bases, and failed to get more than one man
home. The third was blank for the
Hoosiers' but they gained their lost ground

Ors could not overcome. After Smith
had thrown Sullivan out at first,
Daily hit safe. Then Madden lost contro
of the ball and sent McGeachy and Bassett
to first, filling the bases. Getzein followed
with a sacrifice, scoring Daily and advanc-
ing the other two mel base each. Seery,
the next batter, was equal to the emergen-
cy and sent both McGeachy and Bassett
home with fine double down the right
field foul line. He was left himself how
ever. as Captain Glasscock went out on
foul to Kelly. In the next inning the Hoos-
iers got two more runs over the plate, and

who made great stop and assist but Hines
muffed the ball. Then Richardson made a
single. Johnston followed with hit to
Glasscock, who threw to Hines in time to
