HOLSTERS WIN AGAIN
DOWN THE ILLINOIS BOYS BY A
SCORE OF II TO :.
Mccarthy Does Some Good Fielding
and Mcfarland Plays Good Ball
Some Releases.

The HoosierS downed Jacksonville again
yesterday by a score Of II to Z. On both sides
the pitchers showed some very fine curves
and swift balls, but Caplinger could not get
them over the plate and sent ten men to
base on balls. Roat attempted to play in
the game but had to- be taken out after the
third inning on account of his split hand
and weak right arm. 1t is not likely that
he will go in another game till the cham
pionship season opens, because Manager
Watkins considers him too valuable a man
to put down to hard work in his present
condition. Newell surprised some of those
who have been crying for his release by
getting three safe hits, one of them for
three bases. Coupled with that, however,
were two errors. Mcfarland showed up
with his old-time spirit and played a good
game, but only such as is always expected
OF him. In the second inning White, of the
Jacksonvilles. attempted to steal, but saw
he was a little too late in getting his start
and tried to get back to first. but was cut
off by McFarland's quick throw to Motz.
After that the visitors thought twice be-
fore trying to- make a steal and every time
their second thought was against the at
tempt and they waited on first till a batted
ball came along to run them to second.
The home team made the break with three
singles and a double, and a base on balls,
scoring four runs in the first. No hits were
made in the second and the side was retired
without a run. In the third three bases on
balls. one man hit by the pitcher,Aa passed
ball and Caplinger's error were good for
four more runs, none of them earned. One
single, two bases on balls, two stolen bases
and two errors were accountable for three
unearned runs in the fourth. One run on an
error by Hanley and a stolen base was
made in the fifth. Walters opened the. sixth
with a safe hit, followed by outs at first by

eighth Belt started out with a two-bagger
and scored on Hanley's long single. Hanley
was advanced by NewelPs error and came
in on a grounder to White, scoring two
runs for the inning. In the ninth Zeis
started the ball rolling with a three-bagger
and came in on WaltersS wild throw of a
fly which he caught in center. Swartz
