DETROIT, Aug. 21.-Pitcher Cross made
his temperance with the indianapolis
Ball Club this afternoon. and his second
advent was duly celebrated by the local
team. The Creams fell on his neck and
cried for joy, whil'. Cross and his associ-
ates wept for sorrow. The Creams" were
just as glad that Cross was back again
as the Hoosiers were sorry. When the
celebration ended the Creams" had scored
thirty-four runs on thirty-three hits. good
for ifty-eight bases. All the runs the
Hoosiers got were nine. with eight hits.
and several of these were given out OF
pure generosity. 1t was the greatest
slaughter ever witnessed on the Detroit
grounds. For two long hours the Hoosiers
chased the ball through the grass. with
breathing spells only when the ball was
placed over the fence for home runs or
two-baggers. For two long hours they
puffed, painted and muttered naughty words
while for the same length of time. the
bleachers strained their threats with
cheers. From beginning to end the game
was an exhibition of batting on the part of
the home players. In every inning but the
fifth, the Creams secured runs and hits.
The game was called for $3.50 o'clock, but
DUNCAN did not know this and was late.
He was first on the batting list and How
ard Earl took his place. He knocked out a
home run on the second bali over the plate.
On MOTIFS error. a stolen base and Cam
pau's single, big Bill'' scored. York
opened the second with a single and Jant-
zen repeated Earls home-run hit. Roat
fumbled Borchers's hot one and DUNCAN
and Everett followed with two-baggers
each. one over each side fence. The next
two men retired, but Dooley walked to
first and another error by Roat, who
seemed to have a choice selection laid by,
let Glenalvin to first. Roat recovered the
ball in time to catch Dooley at the plate
1t was five more runs added and every
man had been to bat. York and his friend
Jantzen struck out. Borchers made a sim
gle, stole second and came in on Dungan's
hit. big Bill opened the fourth with a
neat single and then Campau cracked out
the third home rum. Raymond and Dooley
made enough bases between them for a
trip back to the plate. Glenalvin and York
retired, but Jantzen raised his batting
average with a double. Borchers took a
single out of the pile, and SO did DUNCAN,
Everett walked to first. but Campau struck
out. and the inning ended with six runs.
The Creams" again went after Cross in
the eighth. Borchers made a single and
DUNCAN flew out TO center field. Then
came three hits. followed by a brace of
bases given through "off-colored' pitching.
1t was down to York again and, in re-
sDonse 10 the cheering. he hit off a single.
y%antzen walked to first and Borchers made
MS second hit in the inning, as did the
three head batters. Campau tried to make
a nome run out of a three-baser, but was
caught at the plate. Ten additional runs
were in Still the Creams" were not con-
tent, and five more swelled the total in the
ninth. OF these five. Borchers's home run
to the center field fence was the longest
ever made on the grounds.
For the Hoosier's. Campau's rank mis-
Judgment let in two in the second, and one
was added in the fiftn. In the sixth Borch-
ers was wild and two runs went to Indian
apohs. Miils's home run in the eighth,
coupled with errors, netted them three
more, While Murphy's four-bagger in the
ninth. made the last of the runs. Attend
ance, 500. Score:
