PHILLIPS FOOLS THEM
AGAIN SIOUX CITY's HITTERs FAIL
TO LOCATE HIS CURVES,
While the Crafty Cunningham Is
Batted Out of the BOX by Indiana
apOIis-An Easy Victory.

Sioux City was left at the post in yes
terday's game. which was one-sided af-
fair and never for a moment in doubt.
The little jaunt from Milwaukee. instead
Of having depressing effect upon Shar-
sig's men, as everybody supposed it would.
appeared to simply put them in good con-
dition- They batted hard and fielded brill
lantly, and were full of ginger generally.
Phillips was once more put up against the
visitors, who strained their backs trying
to hit the ball. He struck out eight men,
and Of the seven hits made by Sioux City
two were extremely 'scratchy." In fact,
they could do nothing at all with him,and he
pitched great ball Cunningham, on the
contrary. seemed to have lost his speed,
and instead OF proving the puzzle he was
on Saturday the Indianapolis hit him
all over the field right from the jump The
first inning was full of Hoosier base hits,
every man but Motz and Phillips lining
out the ball. After a smaller dose In the
second Cunningham was taken out and
Bumpus' Jones put In. He proved rather
troublesome for three innings. after which
the home team began sizing him up with
a good deal of freedom.
The prettiest fielding feature of the game
was a one-handed stop by Shields of Nc
Cduley ndru-n1J IN the eiSnIH
inning. 1t looked like a safe drive, but
Shields. after hard run, managed TO pick
up the ball and get it to irst lust in time.
Hogriever had a couple Of pretty catches
in left. and Stewart pulled down foul fly
from Henry's bat in the second and Grays
fly in the eighth, which gained MIN hearty
rounds OF applause. Murphy's backstop
work was exceedingly clever. Phillips
hit in the chest by line drive from New
ellis bat in the seventh inning, which came
pretty near disabling him. He pluckIly
picked the ball up and crossed first base
ahead of the runner after which the men,
bers of both teams crowded around him
and the crowd feared he was badly hurt
In a few moments. however. he apparently
recovered. and his work during the re-
naming two innings showed no traces of
the injury. 1t a dangerous hit, and
the ball went at the big pitcher as If it
was going right through him.
There were probably fifteen hundred peo-
pie the grounds when Mccarthy hit the
second ball pitched away out to left center
for three bases. Genins fell down while
trying to get to the ball, which was travel
ing at rather a slow pace. Henry caught
a low the end of his bat and drove
IL straight TO center for a base, sending
Mccarthy home. Gray lined out the first
one pitched TO left for single. There were
only five balls pitched to the first three
batsmen, and the hits came easily and
quickly that the crowd was kept shouting
from the very start. Motz fouled out to
McCauley, but Dalrymple hit to right for
base, sending Henry and Gray in, and
coming home himself on Murphy's single
to the same spot. Marr's tumble of Dali
rymple's hit accounted for base or two,
but the error cut little figure because of
the subsequent clean hitting. Mills followed
with a single TO center, but was caught at
second on a steal. Shields hit safe TO right
but Phillips struck out, retiring the side.
| Although Hogriever reached first On Gray's
| wild throw and Camp got a base on balls,
Sioux City failed to score in the last half
for the succeeding three batsmen were
easily disposed Of
Mccarthy started the second with a base
on balls, and after Henry and Gray had
been retired by brilliant fielding, Motz and
Dalrymple hit safe to center, Mccarthy
coming home. Murphy forced Dalrymple
out at second by hitting to Newell. In the
| closing half Phillips retired the side on
| strikes. something that has not been done
| this season in the Western League. Krauss
| got a lone single in the midst of this bar
rem waste OF strike-outs. Jones then came
| in to pitch, and was very effective until the
| sixth inning. when indianapolis found him
| for a couple of singles but could not
score. He had opened rather inauspciously
| in the third by sending three men to first
in succession, filling the bases. Mccarthy,
/ at this juncture, hit to Newell, who threw
| Mills out at the plate and Shields was
| doubled at third on the play, apparently
losing his head and forgetting that il was

/ struck out and no runs resulted.
| People had begun 10 talk about a shut
| out, when Hogriever spoiled this prospect
in the fifth by getting first on balls as
starter. He stole second went to third on

| Mccarthy scored Shields on a clear drive
to right, and Henry followed with a hard
| and bounded back into the infield, Phillips

| would have caught Mccarthy at the plate

for home. Gray flew TO Hogriever, retir-
out in the last half Camp hit close to the

| doubtful hit, but probably looked fair to
| Kerins, and as Indianapolis had a winning
lead the decision cut no figure. In a close
| game, however, 1t would have been an ugly
| matter. Camp scored on Geninss double
| TO left, and the latter came home on Mari 5
| single to center. Mari tried to make two
| bases on his hit thinking Dalrymple had
| fumbled it, but though the latter slipped
and fell he threw the ball in quickly enough
| to catch Mari on the line and he was easily
run down. After nearly demolishing Phil

singles in the eighth, no runs scored,
