resulting in a score of 8 TO 2, with chances
that the tables would have been turned in
favor of the Hoosiers if rain had not in
terfered in the beginning of the ninth in
ming, with Mccarthy on second and only
one out. Hot words were passed, and at
one time Harvey Pastorius picked up a
bat and would have damaged Latham's
head if other players had not interfered
and took the bat from him. Gettinger is
an exceed .ngly fast runner, and on an in
field hit reached first about a tie with the
ball. Pastorius called him safe, and a
howl went up from Latham, who demanded
that a new umpire be selected. In the war
of words that followed Latham called Pas
torius some vile names that would not
look well in print. In an instant Pastorius
secured a bat and was on the run for Lath-
am. with blood in his eye. Other players
knew that Pastorius would hardly be re-
sponsible for what might occur under the
great provocation, and stopped him in
time to save Latham a broken head.
Chauncey Fisher was then put in to UNI
pire. With the exception of the scrap
ping" which was INDUCED in continually,
much to the delight of the occupants
of the bleachers, the game was a clean
one and full of fine ball playing. Cross
showed up in excellent shape, and won
over to him many who had heretofore
rated him as outclassed by other pitchers
in the team. He gave only one man a
base on balls and held the visitors down to
eight hits, while twelve hits We're secured
by the home team. In the third inning
Phillips was knocked out and Rhines was
put in the box. There was good playing
on both sides, with no attempt to make It
a dirty game. In the eighth inning
Vaughn made an unassisted double play.
and Vaughn caught Canavan's liner in
time to beat Cross to first.
The bellicose Hogriever of last year ap-
peared this time in the capacity of peace
maker. He seemed to be the only one of
either team that ~counseled conservatism
when arguments arose, and in that way
earned a deeper place in the hearts of
the Hoosier fans that he has held here
since he appeared with Sioux City last
year.
TIL Hoosiers opened the game by making
two outs, but Newells double, aided by
MOTIFS single, earned a run. A single and
a double was all the credit gained in the

counted for an earned run in the fourth.
Mccarthy hunted the l~eft-field fence fer
two bases and stole third, but that was as
much as could be done in the fifth. One
hit was secured in the sixth, which, with
a base on balls and a muff in right field by
Miller, allowed three men to reach bases,
two of whom were left there at the end of
the inning, with no runs to the credit of

tying the score, when a drenching rain
ended the game. Mccarthy got a single

called for Henry, and he made a brave at
tempt to get it, but muffed it after a long,
hard run. Smith went out on a fly to cen

then came a peculiar play. Hogriever was
on second. and in a taunting way dared
Cross to throw the ball. He purposely took
a good start, as if about to run to third
base. and finally Cross threw the ball,
allowing Miller to score. Except for this
play the score would have been tied. The
side was retired when Vaughn came TO
bat. Three outs in the seventh retired the
side without a hit, and in the eighth two
hits were made but no runs were scored.
