PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 1.-The Indian
apolis and Pittsburg bail teams played two
games on the home grounds this afternoon,
the Hoosiers winning the first after a hard
uphill fight, and the local club scoring
rather an easy victory in the second con-
test. Barring a remarkable one-handed
catch of line hit by Seery in the first
game, and Getzein's good work in the
ninth inning, in the same contest, there
were 10 features worthy of special men
ton. The Hoosiers had an of day in the
field, as did the Pittsburgers.
The local team started off like sure win
ners in the opening inning of
the first game, getting a good
lead. principally through errors
of the infield of the visitors. Denny made
two costly misplays. Hanlon, the first bat
ter, reached second on Denny's wild throw.
and Carroll was hit with pitched ball.
Both stole base at the same time, and
crossed the plate on Beckley's fine two
Dagger. After Miller had gone out on fly,
Rowe made hit and Beckley scored.
Maui sent a grounder to Glasscock, how
ever, and double play was the result. The
home team made no more runs until the
fifth, when hit by Sowders, base
on balls to Carroll, after Hanlon had
been retired, Beckley's single, Miller's
two-bagger and Rowe's sacrifice scored
three men. After this Getze1n pitched in
tine form, and Pittsburg could get no more
runs.
The Hoosiers secured the first tally in
the third. Bassett hit past second, Getzein
flew out to Hanlon, Seery's grounder got
through Beckley's feet. and Bassett reached
third base, and scored on Glasscocks single
to center. One more run was added In the
fourth. After Sullivan and Daily had been
retired. McGeachy got first on Rowe's error.
The same player let Bassetts grounder get
away from him. and McGeachy scored.
fifth. went to second on Glasscock,s sacrifice.
moved up base on Denny's short single,
and scored on a hit by Hines. The latter
reached second on the throw-in. Sullivan
hit to Dunlap. and Denny, was caught at
the plato. Miller threw wild to catch Hines
at third. and he scored on the error. In the
seventh Glasscock led Off with two
Dagger. Denny made single, and he and
Glasscock scored on Illness double. The
latter advanced to third on Sullivan's out,
and crossed the plate when Dunlap fun
bled Daily's grcunder. This ended the run
1t looked decidedly squally for the
Hoosiers in the ninth, when SOwders
led off with a hit and Han
lon got his base on balls. With two
men on bases, no one out, and the heavy
hitters to follow. it seemed almost sure
thing that the Hoosiers would lose. Get
zein settled down, however, and retired the
next three men without even hit. Car
roll flew out to McGeachy, and Sowders
went to third. Beckley fouled ont to Denny.
Hanlon had gone to second when Miller
came TO the bat. The little catcher knew
that single would win the game, and he
tried hard to make it, but struck out, and
the contest was over. Score:
