Yesterdays game was the best tina the
Rain-makers have played on the home
grounds; best in its attendance. which ex-
ceeded fourteen hundred of the fans; best
in Its execution, and best of all best in
in Its victorious result. 1t was clean,
much moro so thar the suits of many Of
the Cloud burst-makrrs. which are weather
beaten. and bear positive evidence Of
the wet results of the clubs existence.
IL was well earned. or as a "~rooter' in the
first row of the bleachers put Ii. cit was
one of the earnedest games / ever saw"
Besides these attractive featureslt was the
briefest game that has set been played here.
this being due to the excellent conduct of
umpire McQuaid. in whom there was no
fault. Those who saw the acrimonious
wrangles o. Fridays game wore greatly
relieved in It's exhibition of yesterday, in
which but one dispute occurred, and that
only momentary.
The Rain-makers started off with q dash
that proved irresistible. Letcher led off
with a corking hit 20 right center. adj
vanced to second and third on sacrifices by
Berger and Seery. but Cap .O'Brien
went out on an easy %grOunder 10 Parrott.
In their half Of the inning, after two men
were out. West hit for two bases and
left-handed KATE for three. Mr.. KATE
may be all right, but he keeps
fielders on the anxious seat as to his pur-
poses and intents when he comes TO bat.
His first exhibition was q long foul 10 the
right-fheld fence, which he followed with
another IN the same spot when Sullivan
gave another good ball. Then, as If TO fool
every body, he hit n corking liner in LETT
that bounded over Soery's head, and. when
returned, found katz telling his troubles
to "Hick" Carpenter on third base. But
he was left there. rs heavy-hitter Parrot
c0pldn't reach Sullivan's out-shoOts.
In the next inning neither side scored,
though Nagle and Graham got hits. In the
third Indianapolis scored Oh earned run on
a hit by Lawrence, Letcher's sacrifice and
Bergers single. In the fifth the home team
played with a dash that was a revelation.
and scored three earned runs. Letcher HIT
q two-bagger to left, and took third on
Berger's grounder to Graham, which that
player threw badly TO West and let Berger
have the base. seery then set the crowd
wild by scoring Letcher with a hit to
center. and OBrien created occasion for
more applause by driving the hOrse-hide
TO left heldefor another two Dagger. Car
penter came TO bat with the appearance of

ably cared for by Newman for a hit
that sent O'Brien across the plate. Quinn
ended the inning with an easy one TO Gra-
ham, and the discounted Miilers marched
seventh the Hoosiers tried the scoring
business again with success. Berger took
second on Graham's error. that
player throwing "Dutchy's" grounder
to a friend in the bieachers. and came
home on OBrien's hit. In the ninth the
defeat was rubbed In. Letcher got his
base as q gift. Berger was HIT by a pitched

throw To the plate and caught Berger, who
was trying to score.
The second earned run of the visitors
was made in the hath inning on u hit by
Psrrott and SninnIck's three Dagger.
The fielding of both teams was fine. many
difficult chances presenting themselves
and being accepted with credit. This was
especially trne of Emmett Seery, who, in
the sixth inning, retired the side on three
difficult fly catches. one being "a long fly
from Dlxon's bat, which he took on the
run. AS he came to the bench he received
q perfect ovation. A str0ng-voIced bleach
er admirer cried. whats the matter
with Seeryf1 and the who'd audience
answered. He's all right" with wild
cheering. The little outfielder was evil

hands aud doffed his cap. which he always
does when pleased. Carpenter played q
fine game. and the misfortune which has
pursued him for some time was evidently
scared away by the big attendance and the
plentiful ~sprinkling of ladies. ShInnick,
with eleven accepted chances, and Parrott
carried of the honors for the Millers. The
attendance was the largest of the season,
nearly fifteen hundred being present.
