DUMPED THEM TWICE
INDIANAPOLIS GIVES A GAME AWAY
AND THEN TIES IT.
Ten Innings and Two Pitchers Re-
quired to Beat Sharsig's Men, Who
Were Their own Worst Enemies.

indianapolis dumped the crowd twice yes
terday. In the first inning Sharsig's men
gave away the game, and then, conclud-
ing they wanted 1t back again. went to
work with a will. putting up an elegant
game with the stick, and almost succeed
ing in pulling it out. They couldn't quite
reach, however. although they made Mime
apolis work hard for ten innings. They hit
Fraser for a total of ~twenty-six bases.
and Crooks took him out after the ninth
inning, putting that hungry-looking pitcher.
Parvin, in the box, who turned the trick
for Minneapolis. He is good only for an
inning or two, but that was enough yes
terday, just as 1t was on Tuesday. In
~dianapohs doomed up very strong at the
bat. and after that nightmare Of a first
inning the field work was all right. Schaub
was tried at short, and he played a. good
game after the first inning. Leidy, Mills
and Motz all had a bad streak In that
fatal opening half. but all hands caught on
again, and the rest OF the game was up to
the mark. 1t proved too late, however.
Westlake was the hero of the game. catch
ing IN faultless fashion, as usual, and get
ting a home run. a double and a single.
The crowd came near tearing the air into
fragments in it's indignation over umpire
McDonaid's action in calling Leidy out
at third In the sixth inning. The decision
was rank. and the umpire tried to even
it up when he gave Dalrymple the. benefit
of a large-sized doubt at second in the
ninth inning. Camp pitched a strong game
up to the finish. OF the hits made off
him several were scratches. and the sup
port he received in the first inning would
have demoralized many more experienced
pitchers.
Mills fumbled Hulen's ground hit as a
starter, and Crooks and Hines followed
with singles. The damage was not yet
irreparabie. but when Leidy dropped Wer-
denis fly the crowd groaned. Burns sacri-
feed, and Schaub threw Wilson's grounder
far out Of reach Of Motz. The latter be-
came imbued with the error spirit that
was prevailing, and threw wide to the
plate IN Werden. Another single by Wis.,
ner, which would have been an out but
for Schaubhs bad Judgment, ii being a
short fly bark OF second, completed the
bad work, and five runs were chalked up
to the credit Of Minneapolis. In the third
Wilson hit for a home run, 1t being of the
scratch order through Dalrymple's attempt
to get it on the fly. Burrell got a double,
but was caught at third, and the side was
easily retired without further runs In the
sixth a base on balls and two singles gave
the visitors their seventh run.
With all this to overcome Indianapolis
started its run getting In the NTH, when
Gray hit to right for three bases and
scored on MOTIFS sacrifice. In the sixth
Henry hit to left center for q clean home
run, and Leidy followed with a double to
right, which was in reality a triple, but
Umpire Mcdonald called the runner out,
the ball having been fielded to Crooks
and by him to Wilson, who did not touch
Leidy as he slid in safe by fully a yard
In the eighth the home team went to work
with a will. Motz led with a double to
left. and Mills followed with a single to
right, scoring the long first baseman- Hen
ry got a base on balls, Leidy flew to HUI
len, and Schaub sacrificed. .Westlake hit
TO right, sending in two runs and makinl
the circuit himself before the ball could b.

to Burns and Dalrymple reached seconC

Dalrymple came in with the tie run. Mot

mistake of striking at three balls withou

who had gone to third. The expectation,
of the crowd were raised to the highes

made three horrible efforts to find the bal

was soon ended, for Visner, the first maj
up, landed the ball on the roof of the Tub
quickly, spelling what looked like a HON,
run. Parvin struck out, but Hulen hit
safe one across second base and the gam,
was over. There were 1850 people out
