and all the Hoosier band are happy to-
night They hit the ball hard and often
to-day, and ''swipedn the Blues in the game
by big score. The exhibition of hitting
which Billy O.Bren and his band gavew was
something wonderful. Twenty-three safe
hits for q total of thirty bases is record
which is made in but few games during
the season. Pitcher Payne was the victim
of the strength which the Hoosers had ap-
parently been saving up for a month.
and when the fusiilade was over
he was limp as dish-rag and
glad to escape with his life.
Genins and Gayle each made four hits.
Berger and Quinn got three apiece. while
Letcher. O'Brieu and Carpenter each got a
pair. Lawrence got one hit and N8gle was
the solitary HoosIer who failed to connect

comings in that respect by the way in
which they pounded the ball. Gayle

strate that they were very much in the
game by beginning the run-gettIng at
once. Letcher went out at first. and then
Genins hit safely to right O'Brien hit to
left and Genlns went to third. OBrien
tried to take second on the hit and was

base line, and O'Brien crossed the plate.
In the third OBrien reached second on
Eiteljorg's mutt of his high fly
TO. left. and scored on. Berg
er's two-bagger In the same direction.
In the fourth they got peaches" in a very
lucky manner, all on account of O very dis
astrous mutt by Manning. Two men were

put up a little infield fly, which Manning
dropped. A base To Genins filled the bases,
and another to O'Brien forced in run.
Carpenter cracked q safe one TO center and
Letcher and Genins scored. Berger spanked
ont another to center. which Lytle allowed

Lawrence. doubles by Gayle and Lstcher
and another single by Genins.
The Blues had several chances to score
early in the game. but threw them away
by stupid base-running In the seventh
they had a streak of luck and saved q shut
out By scoring seven runs. With one ont,
Sunday and Eiteljorg singled. and Carney
cleared the bases with n great drive to cen
ter for home-ruD. Then Gayle gave Payne
and Mcmahon bases on balls and BerGer's
tumble gave AlberIs life. ii ling the bases
again. Andrews drove a hot one to center,

runs came In, making seven Tor the inning.
