INDIANAPOLIS, May Although the
game this afternoon. between the Pittsburg
and Indianapolis clubs was the last to be
PLAYED on the home grounds until June IL,
the attendance was not near as large as was
expected The umpire, Lynch, was re-
membered for yesterdays decisions, and his
general unpopularity was proven by the
crowd who received him with yells, Kisses
and all sorts of sounds and unparliamentary
language.
indianapolis players seemed listless and
uninterested at the opening of the game,
and the fielding was wretched. Boyle was
affected by the general want of energy and
at first pitched wildly and apparently reck-
lessly. He was not well, however, and
after the game got fully under headway his
work equaled his best efforts. In marked
contrast with the listlessness of the Indianap-
oils club did the Pittsburgers take hold, and in
the first inning scored six runs. The entire
club played splendidly.
In the first inning Indianapolis made a fat
failure. For Pittsburg Evangelist Sunday got
a present Of first on balls. Hanlon
DROPPED NICE FLY
into Sullivan's hands at right. Beckley put a
fly to Seery, who did not half try to get it, and
Beckley was safe Sunday took surreptitious
possession of third al scored on Dunlap's out
at first Beckley scored on Carrolrs clean one
to right FGlasscock dropped the throw to sec
ond and Carroll went to third on Maurs stub
hit and scored on the throw to second to catch
Maui, which was poorly returned by Glasscock,
and three runs were entered to the visitors
credit The same luck obtained in the second
inning. Indianapolis failed as in the first, and
''Mouthy'' Miller started the fun for Pittsburg
by splendid home run over the left field fence.
Pop Smith was presented with first to go out
on Sundays force to Denny, who stole second
too easy and scored on Hanlon's long bagger to
center, which Hines should have got with any
kind of judgment. Beckley fouled to Denny,
Dunlap trotting to first on four bad balls, made
a feint to steal second and Sunday was allowed
TO score by Bassett trying to throw the ball
OVER THE GRAND STAND.
Indianapolis walked up somewhat in the
third inning, but failed TO score, and the v1si-
tors failed likewise, although they kept up
their pluck and energetic playing throughout
the inning Indianapolis made Its first tally in
the fourth inning. In this inning Hines
knocked up a little fly which Dunlap caught
Then Sullivan, the new player, made himself
the hero Of the day by knocking the ball over
the left field fence for home run.
In the fifth the home team was thoroughly
aroused, and the result was clean four runs
TO the credit side. Boyle made the longest hit
inside the grounds ever seen. The ball went
straight into the corner of cenler field fence
-Four bad balls gave Glasscock first and he
stole second. A two-base hit by Hines let in
Glasscock, and advanced Denny to third.
Sullivan made his second home run, driving in
Denny and Hines ahead of him. The crowd
became wildly enthusiastic, and many pieces of
silver were thrown to Sullivan from the grand
stand when he crossed the home plate. Luck
stayed with indianapolis throughout the sixth
inning, and two more runs were added to their
score.
The game at this point aroused much inter-
est indianapolis had now one ahead Pitts
burg went into the seventh with noticeable
energy and captured one. Both clubs failed to
score in the eighth, and the ninth inning
opened with
A TIED SCORE.
In this indianapolis won the game by making
three runs, which was perhaps attributsbleto
Maul's pitching.
In a general way throughout the game his
work was good. hut a tendency to wildness was
slightly marked even during the earlier por-
tion, but in the last inning this w1ldness de-
veloped perceptibly and doubtless had much to
do with the result of the last inning. Sui
lvan, the new player, is undoubt-
edly a strong acquisition to the In
dianapolis club 1t is not too much to
say that he won the game for them to-day. He
was the first to comprehend MauPs curves and
proved himself superb both in the field and at
the bat.
Lynchs umpiring was no better than it was
yesterday, but to-day his decisions were not
costly TO either side. indianapolis having won
one-half the games played here for the champ
pionship, goes East in better trim and spirits
than ever before, in marked contrast with
former seasons.
