DETROIT SHUT OUT.
The Leaders Celebrate Their Return
Home by Bobby Gayle.

There were all sorts OF noises at the ball
grounds yesterday, where nearly two thou
sand people assembled TO welcome the lead
ers on their return from Detroit. Big fire.

and singiy. were waited into the field.
where they contributed to the hilarity OF
the occasion in a fashion that was not
appreciated by the Detroits. who had Moth
ing TO rejoice over. One Bobby Gayle was
in the box for them. He has been known
to pitch some very effective ball against
Indianapolis. but yesterday he was SO
easy that everybody hit the ball. His
curves were batted in all directions, and
the leaders fattened up their averages in
a way that disguised the big 'south-paw"
pitcher who once wore an Indianapolis
uniform. He was such a good thing yes
terday that they pushed him right along
for a total OF twenty-nine bases and four
teen earned run They gave him little
or no rest between acts, for Detroit was
snuffed out in every inning with celebrity.
After the third Indianapolis. having piled
up thirteen runs. eased up somewhat,
though IL took good fielding in almost ev-
cry inning to prevent MOTIFS men from
piling up more runs. Brilliant catches by
Hogan, Caravan, Roat and DUNCAN cleo
trifed the crowd Indianapolis put up a
superb game, the only error being an ex-
cusable muff by Hogan,sin the eighth in
ming. of a long fly by Pears. Fisher was
in that old-time form which has helped
to win SO many victories for Indianapolis.
and. backed up as he was. the Detroits
could not score, though they fought des-
perately to escape a shut-out. They worked
as hard for a run in the last inning yes
terday as IL II had been the one needed TO
tie or win the game. In vain they wrig-
gled and twisted: they could not get a
man around. 1t was a great day for Wat
kins and his men. Hogan led them all at
the bat, but honors in that direction were
pretty well scattered. and Gayle could not
escape one of them.
McDermott failed 20 get here in time to
umpire, so Cross and Pears started in TO
ers had his finger hurt, and Pears went TO
first. Twineham, who had been similarly
injured in the first inning. being put in 10

one-sided- The decisions we're fair and
the game was free from kicking"

Then Hogan, Newell and Canavan hit safe
Mccarthy forcing the last named out, and
Motz topped IL all with a great home-rur
drive to right center. Six runs were in
when Roat lined one TO left for two bases
and scored on Gienalvin's second safe hit

side on q high fly to Gillen.
The other two Indianapolis runs were
