The Veteran Shuts tho HOosiers Out In
Brilliant Style.
There is not much room TO tell the stories of
base ball defeats and victories at present, no
matter how glorious or inglouous they may be.
Even if there was space at command, the fact
that there is little desire to read about any
thing except the dreadful calamity at Johns
town will surprise nobody. However. the
thousand people who went over to Recreation
Park yesterday to see the local talent and the
Hoosiers lock horns saw conflict that is worth
remembering. Judging from the way in which
the two teams performed, it seemed as If the
demolition of all the world except the ball
ground would have very little effect on them.
Two old foes met and depend upon it, every
thing else for the nonce was forgotten.
The real contest of yesterdays game lay be-
tween Calvin and Boyle-two well-known
youngsters to people of long time ago. Old
Jimmy reappeared, and if ever he was young,
sprightly and vigorous it was yesterday. Jim
my's work was just as impressive and effective
as that of the most glorious gladiator that ever
entered the Roman arena of earlier days He
accomplished Just what every admirer Of the
local would wish-he shut the Hoosiers out.
COULDN'T TOUCH JIMMY.
They couldn't touch the old fellow. His
pitching was undoubtedly better than on any

everybody as much as it has done the "Old
Man" judging from yesterdays work, Pitts
burg will be almost invuinerable in the way of
pitchers. GalvIn's work really reminded one
of the best achievements of his life.
And let no one forget Henry Boyle, Viscount
Henry, as he ought to be called, or at least
ought 20 have been. In the way of giving a
few bases on balls he made one or two mis-

sense, that is, in a cosmopolitan sense, it was a

point Had that particular base on balls never
Deen made the teams might have played an
unfinished game, with score of to O.
Although the hitting was remarkably light
there were some interesting features in the
game. Both teams flelded brilliantly, and when
hits couldn't be seen the idea was 10 see some
thing great in the field. Some great work was

met them at other places say they can. With
out doubt the fielding was excellent
~ EXCUsABLE ERRORS.
Two of the errors credited to the home
players were extremely excusable. They were
errors credited particularly to Kuehne and
Smith. These mistakes, however, does not
prevent impartial people from saying that
Smith and Kuehne did first-class work Han
lon felded in his usual bright way. and that
means great deal. He caught very difficult
fly.
And the Hooslers DID little better neld1ng
than our fellows. Glasscock caught with one
hand, liner from Kuehne's bat in the seventh
inning that caused the thousand spectators to
cheer Loudly. Denny also kept up his record.
One pleasing feature of the game was the fact
that host of Miller's friends presented him
with handsome gold watch and chain. twas
generally pleasing because everybody thought
be deserved it
The only run of the game was made in the
fifth inning. Maui led OF and reached first on

hit for the local players. He knocked the ball
