Watkins aggregation of Indians
from Indianapolis suffered their most
inglorious defeat of the season at the
hands of Comiskey'S men yester-
day. The Saints took on one Of
those terrific batting streaks which
so delighted the hundreds earlier in
the season, and in less than three
innings had such a mortal cinch on
the game that Watty'S Indians knew
their case was hopeless. They played
on in a desultOry manner, while the
Saints continued to hammer the
ball to all points of th> coirpass.
Phillips was only in three innings
and in that time was raped for
fourteen safe hits After that Ho-
griever went in the box, as Watty
Hidn't propose to waste a pitcher on
such a hopeless case as theirs was
then. Hoggy was simply hammered
till the Saints grew tired of rum
ming the bases, and had they kept
up their play they could have fin
lshed with thirty-five or forty hits to
their credit. The game was farce
towards the close. when Hoggy be-
gan making a monkey of the game.
Mullane was supported in superb
form, and the visitors failed to hit
him safely for four innings. At
that time, the Saints had the game
won beyond question, so Tony let
up considerably and allowed them
to hit him. No use wasting him
self on a bad thing, he figured. 1t
was the worst wallop the Indians
have experienced this year. They
were never in the game for a min
ute. There was only one inning in
the game in which the Saints failed
to score. The game follows in de-
tail:
