WED FOR THE MOST or THEN.
The Home Team Was Able to Heat
This Little Interior Illinois
Aggregatfon.

The cranks yesterday had an opportunity
to howl their disapprobation OF the Hoosier
players. The game was full of errors, yet
there were some remarkably good
plays made, although the score
of 10 to IL would hardly indi-
cate it. There was good pitching on
both sides at times, and at other times it
seemed as if a child could have hit any
ball that was delivered. While Caravan,
Newell and Roat each have two errors
charged against them, Roat was excusable
on account OF being able to use but one
hand, and the others made few such bril-
liant plays that the errors were almost
overlooked. Their fine plays did not count
for anything in the way of outs, but they
prevented men from advancing and showed
what both men can do when necessity re-
qures it. Mcfarland made two homo runs
by heavy drives to left, one of them bring
ing in another man.
The game was called at 3:15, but in the
future games will be called at $3.50
until probably week after the
opening of the regular season, when
o'clock will be the hour. The home team
went to bat first, and retired in less than
five minutes without reaching first base. A
base on balls and home run gave them
two runs i'm the second. In the third Nc
Carthy got base on balls, but was still
on first when the side was retired Four

a base on balls and stole second, and Nc
Farland made slow hit to infield. OiCon-

The throw WAS very Wild and Hanley man
aged to get only close enough to allow it
in on the error. Three more hits were good
for two runs. A base on balls and a stolen
base left Motz on second when the side

The heavy hitting of the game was done
In the seventh inning. OConnor seemed to
go to pieces. One single. one double and
two three-bdggers, assisted by base on
balls, two errors and a fielder's bad choice
counted for seven runs, none of them
tired when the fourth man came to bat. A
single and three-bagger brought in one
earned run in the eighth and In the last
Mcfarland home run was all that counted.
For the visitors base on balls, passed
ball and a wild pitch left a man on third
when the side was retired tie first time.
Three outs followed in quick succession in
the next and in the third two-bagger by
Hanley came near scoring g run. Haniey
attempted to come IN on Deveneys long sim
gle, but good throw by Walters from
center shut him off at the home plate. A
and Canavan's tumble Of a grounder, al
lowed the first two batters to score in the
pitcher and Cross's error put three men on
base, but they failed to score. Two singles
and a base on balls counted for naught in
the fifth, and in the sixth first base was not
reached. Two singles and Katz's three

Carly and a wild throw by Caravan scored
one earned and two unearned runs in the
seventh In the eighth a two-bagger and
Roat's error were good for one run, and in
the ninth Cross pitched too many good balls
and was found safely four times, once for
home run which brought in two other
runs. These assisted by wild pitch and a
wild throw by Mcfarland and errors by
Caravan and Roat made the visitors six
runs, as many as they had secured in all
the other innings combined, but none OF
them were earned The score:
