The fielding and batting of the Indianapo-
lis team yesterday was in marked contrast
with its work on Thursday.
Gumbert and Kennedy. two of the Brook
lyn pitchers, lead that team IN Dattng,
with percentages of .3i7 and .34S. This Is
something very unusual

exceptionally good work the victim will be
either Sullivan or Sexton

To-day again i'm Detroit, tomorrow in

that is the Indianapolis teams programme.
Mondays game with Grand Rapids will be
called at 3:45-
Mike Herman, the quietest man in the
batting with an average of 1853, while Tot
Murphy foots the list of Giants with
percentage of .179.
Manager Ellis, of Grand Rapids. has
,o1 oh of "a
Ind, team President Brush wanted Will
liams for his Cincinnati team, but Ellis
was ahead of him.
Fisher was out yesterday for the first
time since he was injured at Terre Haute
last Sunday He limped around with the
aid of a cane, moving slowly. He may be
able TO pitch one Of the Grand Rapids
games.
George D. Gideon, chairman of the L. A.
w. racing board. whose name has been
prominently mentioned as possible candi-
date for the presidency of the L. =. w.
the position II rendered him.

yesterday Stein. gave the Giants" but
nine bases on balls. In the second game
New York got but six hits off Kennedy
and German gave the "Grooms' seven
bases. =
with a tin can tied to its tail. They won
two games yesterday. They evidently want
TO get as far away from the tail end as
POSSIBLE fearing that Grand Rapids might
brace up and overtake them before the
end of the season.
George Hogriever is playing a wonderful
ly fast game for Indianapolis. and having
his usual luck on the bases He and Fred
Roat are easily the most popular men on
the team The Hoosier cranks have hardly
had an opportunity of becoming thoroughly
acquainted with Hoggie as yet and his
popularity will probably effervesce as they
know him better.-Kansas City Star.
In reporting Wednesdays ten-inning
game the Associated Press reporter at
Terre Haute credited the home team with
a victory, thereby depriving Grand Rapids
of well-merited honor. The Knoxville re-
porter has evidently not recovered from the
effects of his efforts to convince the people
that last Sundays mob was composed of
innocent lambs. who didn't know the diff
ference between stones and small rocks"
and hurled the latter at the Indianapolis
players.
Fred Roeber, of New York. who wrestles
Charles Richards at the Grand next Tues
day night. has longer and more formid-
able record than the Indianapolis man,
having begun his career somewhat earlier
Richards. however. has many victories to
his credit and should give his big antag-
onist a royal battle. On form Roeber would
be picked as the winner, but wrestling
like baseball. is uncertain. The match will
begin promptly at $3.50, Tuesday night and
nobody will be allowed on the stage but
newspaper men. the principals and their
seconds.
