The winning streak which has enabled
indianapolis to pile up twelve successive
victories on the home grounds received
severe jolt yesterday. 1t was the first
time the club has been shut out this sea-
son. and Detroit turned the trick in hand
some style by the grace of a pitcher who
once wore an Indianapolis uniform. The
game was probably the most doleful that
Will be played on the home grounds all sea-

work of the Indianapolis club, the men all
seeming imbued with the idea that they
could not win. If ever a team of ball play
ers was whipped before game it was the

look hard, and there seemed no good rea-

who tried to fill Henry's place, made a
sorry mess of it. The latter was called
from the game in the second inning by
