INDIANAPOLIS, May 4.-There was a
handsome crowd in attendance at the
ball park to see the second game in the
series with Pittsburg. The home club
battery was Whitney and Daily, with
Russie substitute, and the visitors pre-
sented Calvin and Miller, of the awful
voice, with Conway as substitute. This in
dicated an overweening desire by the Pitts
burgers to win another ball game from the
Hoosier team. Calvin was hurt when the
game was about half played, and Staley
was substituted.
Indianapolis people may have seen some
where else more terrific batting, but GER
tainly not on the home ground Nothing,
however, equaled it here The Pittsburgers
were plucky and played with great force until
after Calvin was hurt when they seemed to
let down. In the first inning indianapolis cap
tured two. Little Emmet Seery, who has been
batting so successfully in the two
games he has played, began the
game with twobase drive to
center field. Glasscock gave Pop Smith a
rather warm bounder, but he handled it sue
cessfully, Seery reaching third on the out and
scoring on Dennys hot single to right. Nc
Geachy hit along the left foul limo for two
bags. Dsilys sacrifice scored Denny, and Hines
out from Smith left Mack at third after two
strikes. Visitor Hanlon put liner into unsafe
territory, Bassett freezing it tight Slugger
Carroll went OF from Denny to first. Bassett
fooled away chance on Beckley by Juggling
grounder, but he put him out nome Mt later on
AN ATTEMPTED STEAL.
In the second Pittsburg scored one, Nc
-
throw to first on Miller's grounder gave "Habo'
a life. Maul's fly out to right put Dunlap on
third and Miller stole second neatly. Kuenne
made lucky sacrifice which bounded Just out
of Whitney's reach, and Dunlap scored. Smith
out from Denny to first.
indianapolis was lucky enough to secure two
more in the third. Seery took first on Smiths
tumble. Glasscock's clean hit advanced him
10 second and Denny's two-baggeT scored both
runners. McGeachy few out TO right and
Denny was helded out while FOOLS bly, trying to
steal third. Daily retired the side by an out at
first
In the fourth inning Pittsburg's luck re-
turned. and the club added two to its score. |
Dunlap hit safely to center and Miller ad- |
vauced him to secon /. Maui hit to center and |
Dunlap scored Kuehne's sacrifice advanced

Miller. Calvin struck out the crowd yelling |
in great derision Some fault was found with |
the umpire in this inning on the part of In |
dianapOlis. 1t was claimed that Whitney was |
helded out at first on the umpire's bad judg- |
ment
1t was in the fifth inning that indianapolis |
got in her great work. Calvin as injured 1t |
occurred in this way: Hines knocked terrific |
hot grounder tt Calvin. He attempted to stop |
it by closing W his>legs and ankles with his |
feet The ball struck him savagely on the |
ankle almost knocking him down, and COM |
pletely disabling him. He was forced to retire |
from the game immediately. He will be laid |
= for soRe time. Staley. who was very ef- |
fective in the box yesterday, was substituted, |
but the Hoosiers batted him as freely as they |
did Calvin. The Hoosiers felt somewhat
AFRAID OF CALVIN
before he was hurt, as ne has the reputation of |
being among the king pitchers of the League, |
but they seemed to comprehend his curves and |
batted him at will. In this inning the Hoosiers |
scored and the most terrific batting of the |
day occurred. Seery fouled out to third. |
Glasscock was given his base a hit pitched |
ball, and Denny's hit sent him to second, both |
advanced on passed ball McGeachy's sacrifice |
tailed Glasscock, and Daily was given base |
on balls. Calvin here met with his mishap and |
he was helped off the field.
Play resumed with Staley in the box. Bas-
sett took first balls, filling the bases, and !

exciting point, Indianapolis capturing

TO Basset. Miller made a home run to left
scoring Beckley. Maui made a two-bagger but
Kuehne few to Hines. Four was added to
score. During the seventh inning,
the Hoosiers having secured a strong lead,
Whitney let down and allowed Pittsburg to
secure IL of the Is hits Interest in the game
seemed to flag after the seventh inning. The
Hoosiers grew careless, and Pittsburg added
FIVE in the two concluding innings, but they did
not play with their usual vigor and alertness.
Miller, Dunlap and Smith led the visitors in
the remarkable batting of the day, while
Denny, Seery and Glasscock are entitled to
lpecial mention as doing the same for the home
cam. Denny's work was remarkable; out of
liz times at the bat he got six hits. one of them
being a two-base and another a home run.
W Whitney, who was in the Hooser box, was
7ery effective. The visitors. for the most part,
we're totally unable to hit him or guage his de-
livery. Score:
