The Indianapolis team wound up the
championship season yesterday by takins
two games from ST. Paul aIid thus securing
second place by good safe margin. Co
miskeys men did not appear to regret tie
loss of the games and seemed to be en-
joying themselves, possibly in the thought
that Indianapolis might give their hated
rivals, the Milers, good thrashing In the
cup series. While the visitors feided loose
ly and carelessly in the first game, they
tried hard enough to hit Damon, who held
them down to five hits, one a scratch"
that bounded wild. The support given Da-
mon was very good, Mccarthy and Stew
art having catches that stirred the crowd
up to some extent. Mullane took things
rather easy for the most part and was free
ly hit. The game was reeled off in jig time,
occupying little more than an hour.
Manager Watkins tried both Knepper
and Kellum in the last game The former,
who is strapping big fellow, with a fine
drop ball and choice assortment of speed,
pitched the first five innings and was hit
for only four singles and a double. He
had good control, giving but one base on
balls. Kellum, who went in for the last
four innings, was also hit safely five times,
one being a scratch" that should have
been caught in left field. He was a trihe
wild in the seventh inning. forcing in two
runs by bases on balls. Both men made a
satisfactory showing and are likely to be
of service to indianapolis next season.
Watkinss hit Fricken so hard in the
first two innings that Denzer who was
playing right field, changed places with
him in the third. Big Roger did not pitch
his arm out and, as a result was hit safe
ly sixteen times, the Indianapolis batters
While the visitors had but one error in the
second game. Frcken, who played right
most of the time, found the sun too much
for his vision and was compelled TO turn
his back several flies that would have
been easy for Hogriever.
