The Nilwaukees were lucky yesterday to
escape a shut-out. Cross. who has been
very effective against them all season, kept
them sucssing except in the third inning,
and three of their hits then were made
after chances had been given to retire the
side. That inning would have been a blank
for the visitors had not Indianapolis
punched errors, making four OF the nve
right there. Aside from this Watkins's men
played a superb game. and that bad half
inning was lost sight of because of their
splendid all-around work. They started
away like Derby-day winners, Hogriever
opening with a two-bagger TO left, Roat
getting a single and Canavan a sacrifice.
MOTIFS base on balls filled the corners, and
Mccarthy cleared them with a line drive
to right for three bases. He had the bad
luck to overrun third, and was touched out
before he could get back. Newell went out
from pitcher to first.
This lead was very encouraging, but when
the boys turned loose on Stephens in the
third they maue it sure. Roat led with a
double, Caravan fouled to Twitchell, Motz
got a single and Mccarthy fouled to Niles.
Then Newell hit safe, Mcfarland for two
bases and Hogan and Cross each for a
single. four runs resulting in all. Hogan
was caught at the plate trying to score
from first on Cross's hit to right.
Klopf started the Milwaukee half Of the
third with a three-bagger to right center,
but tried TO stretch it into a home run and
was caught at the plate by some lively
fielding. Roat fumbled Boland's %grounder
and Stephens flew to Hogan. Weaver hit
to Canavan, who failed to hold the ball,
and Sharp followed with a drive that struck
Cross on the leg and bounded into right
field. Boland scored, and the ball was field
ed TO Newell, who tried TO head Weaver on
at the plate, but threw wild. Then the
y~oungster who looks after Milwaukees bats
during the present series mixed In, and, get
allowed Sharp to come in under the blocked
ball rule. The enterprising boy was put on
the Milwaukee bench and told TO stay there.
Twitchell hit to left for three bases and
Niles's ~grounder, but Nicol fouled to New
ell. ending the inning. This was the only time
the game fhoaIpb Hogan snoiied two vicious
hits for them, and Canavan did the same.
The formers catches were sensational, and
in a close game would have set the crowd
wild. AS 1t was, they made considerable Of
a stir over them.
With two out in the seventh Newell was
hit by pitcher, Nc Garland and Hogan each
lined the ball out for three bases and Cross
got a single, three runs being added as a
result. Hogriever flew to Nicol. In the
ninth Mccarthy hit safe TO right. and made
second on Klopf's tumble. Newell flew to
Twitchell, but Mcfarland and Hogan got
singles, Mccarthy scoring. Cross's grounder
to Taylor forced Hogan at second, but
SSnarP threw w i,art TO firs st trying for a dou,
kept on running after he was out and drew
a throw that enabled Cross to reach third,
to Klopf. Twelve hundred people enjoyed
the game. Score:
