ST LOUIS TAKES TWO
INDIANAPOLIS BALL TEAM HAS NOT
sTRAIGHTENED OFT YET.
The Visitors Win the second Game
by Ten to Three score-To-
Days Game.

Messrs wittrock and Pastorius, two
young men who pitch ball for the Indian
apolis club, have not as yet Strengthened
out the winter kinks in their arms, and to
this fact may be in part assigned the cause
for defeat at the hands of st. Louis yes
terday afternoon: ST. Louis, 49, Indianapo-
lis, g. Manager Watkins was at loss just
before the game to know how to distribute
his cripples so as to make the strongest
showing against the heavier League team.
Stiff legs and sore arms were the muni-
tons of war which the manager had largely
to draw upon, and he was not going to be
responsible for anything that might hap
pen. That the riverside visitors were able
to accumulate only ten runs under such
distress of their opponents argued well for
the fortitude of Indianapolis boys in
pressing an uphill fight. Pastorius let down
the bars in the first inning and Wittrock
was put in to help repair the damage, but
the close of the second inning left the
home team with little hope. A triple, two
two-baggers and two singles by st. Louis
in the first inning did damage to the ex-
tent of four runs. Two singles, double
and some cratic ball tossing added three
more in the following inning, and from a.
st. Louis standpoint there wasn't much
