Them Earned.

Them Earned.
Nine men with Flour in big white let
tiers across their baseball chests marched
onto the field yesterday headed by big
Perry Werden. AT the close of the eighth
inning Dough- would have been more
appropriate. For six innings the game was
a battle royal, and there were many
ominous shakes of the head and dire predic-
tons by people who believed indianapolis
was at last ~overmatched. But when the
seventh inning had come and gone these
individuals came over to the great ma
jority and everybody shouted for the win
ners. Thirty-two hundred people went out
to see the leaders do battle-an unprece-
dented attendance for Monday. The noise
they made has never been equaled in the
baseball annals of the city, even on a
holiday. From practically the third inning
somebody was shouting all the time and
everybody most of the time. The first two
innings were disappointing. the visitors
taking a lead that looked threatening. But
things turned out nicely in the third. and
from the sixth, when the score was tied,
it was smooth sailing.
Glenalvin made his first appearance in

Newell leading the list for Indianapolis
with four clean hits. Almos all the boys,
however, took the orportunity to lift their
batting averages and the visitors were not
slow in handling their sticks. Hulen got
five hits out Of six times at bat. and his
comrades were not ~backward about help
ing themselves in this direction. Many OF
these hits came, however. during the last
three innings. when they could not possibly
avail anything, and Crosss work, there

looked as IL Duke was going to prove q
puzzler for MOTIFS men, and, even after
they had touched him up pretty freely in
the third, he evinced an unpleasant dlSpo-
sition to strike his gait again. But from
the sixth inning on he was very easy, and
after the eighth Captain Werden took him
out and put in Tanning, who was no i'm
provement, indianapolis getting five runs
off him., four of them earned.
