THOSE TWO GAMES INDIANAPOLIS
WANTED FROM MILWAUKEE,.

Hitting and Were Never Headed
The Great Crowd-Other Scores.

Indianapolis took both games from Mil
waukee yesterday. the first after a pretty
hot argument and the second in a canter.
Over eight hundred people saw the morn
ing game, the threatening weather keeping
many away. but the way they turned out
in the afternoon surpassed even the ex-
pectations of the management. Between
four and five thousand people crowded the
grounds. They swarmed over the bleachers
and into the field. necessitating ground
rules, which, however, were not brought
into use, because there was no occasion
for them. 1t was agreed that a fair hit into
the crowd should go for three bases. while
an overthrow into the crowd should give
a runner one base. The only instance where
an application Of the hitting rule was asked
for was in the fifth inning. when Motz
drove the ball to right center for a home
run 1t went to the fence and was in plain
view of the fielders and spectators at all
times. nobody being within ten feet of it or
in any way interfering with the fielding
OF it. However. Shields. the Milwaukee
captain. argued for several moments with
umpire Mcdonald in a vain attempt to have
him send Motz back TO third base under
the rule in question. The umpire could not
see 1t that way, however, and the home
run went. as it certainly deserved to. The
grand stand was packed and jammed, all
of the available standing room being &C.
cupied, and the boxes were rowded. Even
the roof was sought by a number of en-
thusiasts, who thought it afforded a bet
ter view than the crowded stands and
boxes. The great crowd enjoyed the game
immensely. In the old League history of
Indianapolis there never was a larger at
tendance at any holiday game. The air at
the morning game was not uncomfortably
cool, but in the afternoon it was quite keen,
and the ice-cold lemonade boys gave ev-
erybody the shivers- Both morning and aft
ernoon crowds were full of holiday enthu-
siasm, and they rooted vigorously for
Indianapolis at all stages, though the fact
that the home team led from the start and
was never headed In either contest pre-
vented the spectators from showing what
they were actually capable of in this line.
THE MORNING GAME.
Phillips was In the box for Indianapolis
in the morning game. and he pitched stead
lily and well and was given elegant sup
port. In fact. the fielding of both teams
was sharp throughout, and, at times, bril-
liant. Wittrock pitched a good game for
Milwaukee. but the hits of the visitors were
not as well punched as those of the home
team, and this fact enabled the latter to
win by a margin OF one run. indianapolis
scored in the first, Dairymple being hit by
a pitched ball and getting around on Gray's
single and Leidy's long fly to Luby. Motz
was also hit by a pitched ball, but could
not score. In the last half Milwaukee made
a run on a scratch single by Newman, who
hit the ball down 20 the plate. where, by
some peculiar twist, 1t rolled out and then
inside the foul line. Langford's sacrifice
and Luby's safe hit sent him around. In
dlanaPohs earned four runs in the third,
Gray leading off with a single and scoring
on a slashing three-base drive TO right by
Motz. Mills followed with a single, scoring
the latter, and Henry's safe hit moved
Mills to third. Westlake came along with
a two-bagger, sending in two more runs.
In the sixth Phillips got a base on balls
and scored on Dalrymple's sacrifice, Gray's
life and hma muff of Shields's return
throw to catch the big pitcher at the plate.
The seventh and last Hoosier run was
scored in the ninth inning on singles by
Westlake, Phillips and Murphy.
