punched enough to bring in runs. The
SHARP FIELDING
of the Saints was one of the features
of the game, and they pulled down
some long, hard drives that might have
been doubles and triples with less eff
ficient ball players. Out in left field
Billy George, the new man purchased
from Grand Rapids, made his initial
appearance on the home grounds and
cinched hisl welcome by excellent
work, not only with the stick, but in
his garden. With hard running he de-
stroyed several drives which ought to
have been safe hits, and every time he
came to bat the pitcher trembled He
made two beautiful drives and ran
passes like a deer. In one instance he
MADE daring and successful steal
OIL nome, and to his work much of the
result is due. IRWIN played beautiful
~ at short and hit the ball over the
renee Tor a, home run just when a home
run was needed; and little Eddie
Boyle drove the leather off in the same
territory for a second home run, which
earned him round of applause that
could have been heard down town.
Stratton, the other new man, had lit
tie chance to show what he is made
OF, and this is probably because he
was anxious to make a good impress
sion on his first appearance. He is
a good man and will show up all right
as soon as he gets a chance.
For the first three innings the game
was the sharpest and cleanest ever
seen here. The Saints were quickly re-
tired in all of the these three and
indianapolis run in the third was due
tothe homerun drive of Mccarthy over
the right field fence. When ST. Paul
came to bat in the fourth it began
poorly, but the lethargy lasted only for
an instant. Pickett led off by tapping
! the ball lightly to Roat at third, who
threw him out at first. Count Mullane
then went to first on balls and
THE FUN COMMENCED.
Bill George Immediately established
himself as a favorite with a long
single to right field, which sent Null
lane on to third and started the en-
thusiaSm in the stand. Then Camp
strobe up to the plate, caught the first
ball pitched on the end of his hat and
sent it whizzing against the fence,
sending Mullane home while George
ran like deer and managed to reach
third with ease. 1t was clever base
running and quick work When Boyle
came to bat Camp stole second and as
soon as Mcfarland sent the ball to
second, George made a daring steal
of home, which showed him to be a
sharp player and somewhat confused
the Hoosiers. these runs were good
and no errors were made.
l. i
the thing and so he sent the ball flying
over the right field fence for a home
run, and of course the bleachers went
wild as Camp and Boyle trotted over
the plate. Johnston struck out, but
nobody minded this, and O'Rourke's
long drive into center was muffed by
Hogan after a hard run. O'Rourke
stole second, Caravan missing the per-
fectly thrown ball, and Tim strobe
home on a slow walk when Charlie
Irwin added to his popularity by driv-
ing the ball over the fence for the
second home run of that inning
Well, the bases were clear and STRAIT
ton, thinking the side had done enough
for one inning, retired the side on
an easy grounder to second.
Indianapolis scored twice in her side
a clean double to right and went to
third on a wild pitch by Johnston.
Woods single to left let Caravan
across the plate. Roat struck out and
Motz got his base on balls, then Nc
Carthy, the heavy hitter of the Hoos-
Ter team, drove a double to center,
letting Wood in. Mcfarland and
Fisher stopped further trouble by
striking out and dying at first respec-
lively.
In the sixth the visitors scored their
fourth and last run, Motz driving the
ball over the right field fence for
, home run. In the seventh it was
pretty nearly a miracle that the visi-
tors did not score. The st. Paul out
| fielders had been ordered to play far
back. Motz, the first man up, hit the
ball on a line to deep center, a drive
ordinarily good for three bases. Camp
! neatly took the ball without moving
| out of his tracks. Mccarthy ham
mered the ball into the same territory
! and Camp again came to the rescue.
Then Mcfarland larruped the leather
out to left, but George, by a beautiful
bit of sprinting got under it and re-
tired the side. The great fielding of
Camp and George was greeted with
| hearty round of applause. The
