SHUT DETROIT OUT
sHARSIG's MEN SUCCEED AT LAST
IN TRIMMING GAYLE.
They Hit Him for a Total of Do Bases
While Detroit Gets but Three
Hits OF Phillips.

1t afforded the crowd at the ball grounds
yesterday infinite satisfaction to see the
indianapolis players go after pitcher Gayle
in a way that made him weaken. They
cracked away at him in almost every
inning and got the ball out of the fielders'
reach often enough to earn six of their
seven runs and three bases of the odd
one. Brilliant support saved him a worse
showing. and he found it harder to win in
the box than by umpiring. Having now
Invested themselves of the idea that they
cannot hit Gayle, Sharsig's men should
have little trouble with him in the future.
A little free hitting will start him going,
and bad support would break him all up.
Detroit gives him uncommonly good back
ing, and much of his effectiveness has been
due to this fact.
The game yesterday evened up a few old
scores and sent everybody home feeling
good. It was the first shut-out this season
in which Indianapolis played the star part,
and it was a beauty. Phillips was in great
form, and allowed the visitors but three
hits. Only eight of them reached first base,
four of whom got as far as second and two
to third. The fact, however, that Indian
apolis, up to the eighth inning, had but a
small lead, made the game somewhat ex-

1t was a prettily played contest all the
way through, and the people who were out,
feeling that they had witnessed a ball game
worthy the name.

him numerous boxes of cigars, sending the

Murphy throwing the ball high and a lit
