ESPECIAL. rrIrcRAM TO THE DrsrArcu.,


INDIANAPOLIS, May 3.-The PittsburI
club has certainly made good start on it
tour, and the boys are tonight in a CORE
spondingly joyous mood. The weather wa
well suited to good playing, and there was
rather large attendance at the first of tn
championship games between the Pittsburt
and indianapolis clubs this afternoon.
Among the guests occupying box wa
Fanny Davenport, the actress, who seemed
to thoroughly understand and appreciat,
the game The fair actress seemed to favo
the visiting team, and when Carroll dis
tlnguished himself at the bat in a manner
that caused the spectators to roll their eye'
in astonishment, her hands came together il
very vigorous clap.
CONWAY DID NOT PITCH.
1t was the general impression that Con
way would toss the balls over the plate, but
for some reason it was decided otherwise
and Staley was put in the box. He acquit.
ted himself fairly well, and Miller did the
backstop act in his usual inimitable style.
The battery work for indianapolis was done
by Getzein and Buckley. Hsnlon was al
the head of the batting order of the visitors,
who followed in the order named: Carroll,
left field; Buckley, first base; Dunlap, sec
ond base; Maui, right field; Kuehne, third
base, and Smith, shortstop, with Fields on
the score card for substitute duty. Lynch,
in his mail-carrier clothes, without the no
ticeable change in appearance, ruled su-
preme as umpire.
Pittsburg was called the Hoosier Jonah
last season, and it looks at the beginning as
if the joke would hold good for one more
season. The visitors won with ease to-day,
although the HOosiers played well, and the
fielding was especially sharp on both sides.
The playing of Maui in right field was the
subject Of particularly favorable comment
from those present.
PLENTY OF HITTING.
Getzein pitched for indianapolis, and
although be seemed alert and in usual good
condition. vet Pittsburg hammered him
around at will. On the other hand, Staley
seemed to be too much for the home team,
and although he was hit very hard, yet
luck was against any punching of hits. The
Gas City boys went to the field and Seery to
the bat as the opening incident, to be re-
tired on the second ball pitched, from Dun
lap to first. Glasscock hit to Smith at
short, and got life on Beckley's drop of
the throw. Then he stole second and went
to third on Denny's sacrifice, but Kuehne
pulled down what1ooked like safe bit for
McGeachy.
Hanlon was retired easily on a little
grounder to Bassett. Carroll hit a pretty
single tc, left. Terror" Beckley hit liner
TO Glasseock, who failed to freeze it. Cap
Iain Dunlap Emote the air three terrific
belts and then Staley punched out two
bagger, which scored two runners: Maui
took first on balls, but was later caught too
far off on one of Buckley's surprising
throws to first; two runs Buckley led off
in the second with fly to Hanlon. Hines
hit safe to left, went to second on a passed
ball and third on Bassett's fly out to center.
SOMETHING UNEXPECTED.
The crowd was not expecting it, but
Baby Schoenck put one against right center
screen, which gave Hines a run and put
him on third. Getzein aroused three
breezes. Visitor Kuehne knocked out q
good one, which yielded base, and Denny
let Smiths grounder through his hands,
Miller sacrificed and Hanlon's out from
GIasscock scored Kuehne.
Carroll's single to right screen scored
Smith. Beckley signalized his second at
tempt with q fy to Schoenck, two more
were added. The third and fourth innings
were fruitless for both sides. In the fifth
Pittsburg captured two additional runs.
Bassett died from Dunlap, Schoenck few to
Smith and Getzein famed ozone. Hanlon
got first on balls and Carroll put hummer
over left field fence and made a home run.
In the seventh the Pittsburgs did some
splendid work and good luck was with
them. Miller hit safely. Bassett fumbled
Hanlon's grounder and Miller went to
third. A wild pitch gave Miller q run.

got second on the throw in to stop q score
and Dunlap scored on Staley's single.
