The Eoosiers Avoid Defeat by the Washing
tons on Narrow Chances.
The Hoosiers defeated the Washington
team again yesterday afternoon, but it took
two hours time and ten innings TO decide
the contest, which was finished in the dark.
For Captain Glasscock's team, Fee was in
the box, while Krock, recently released by
the home club, was the opposing pitcher.
The latter pitched a good game. and had
his team given him better support the re-
suit might have been different. The Wash
ington men played a very ragged game in
the field. however, and threw away several
chances to gain a victory. Young Fee did
not pitch a great game. While he held the
visitors down to eight hits. ne was very
wild. sending nine men to first on balls.
The local team gave him splendid support,
and through luck. more than anything
else, pulled out of q small corner
in the tenth inning, when it
looked like a sure thing for the visitors.
Captain Glasscock, as usual. led his team
both at the bat. on the bases and in the
field. He put up a great game throughout
and was frequently ~applauded by the small
crowd present.
