Strouthers and his men it was pretty near
ly a hopeless chase. They hit the ball out
from the start and ran the bases with a
dash that fairly made the Detroiters' eyes
bulge out. The slightest opening given by
an outfielder was the signal for keeping
right along to the next base. Every one
or the Indianapolis players was right up
on his toes all the time, and the result was
another shut-out for the men from Mich

the visitors being utterly unable TO bunch
tneir hits. 1t was not until the ninth that
they managed TO work in two hits sue

from the second disagreeable shut-out dose
