before he could get back to first. max
ing a nice double play. Two grounders
to Pickett and a strike-out kept the
visitors from reaching first.
O'Rourke got his base again, but he
did not try to steal. Glasscock forced
him out, but beat out a double. TWO
flies ended that half Again Indianapo-
lis failed to reach first.
Burns hit nice one to center field
and went to second base when Hogan
let 1t go through him. Pickett flew out
to Hogriever but Shugart sent long
drive down between the left and center,
and made three bases on it. Denzer hit
a long fly to center, which Hogan muf-
fed and Shugart scored, making it sew
en- to four.
Hogan struck out Denzer was pitch
ing great ball. The first ball that came
over the plate Hogriever thought was
wide. O'Day called 1t a strike. The same
difference of opinion existed as to the
second. While Spies was gathering up
his mask and things, Hogriever step
ped out of the box to chew the rag with
the umpire. Denzer stepped into the
box when Spies was ready, and Hog
riever stepped up to the. rear side of
the box, where he could not have
reached the ball with his bat anyway.
Denzer shot one across the plate as
straight as an arrow and that was the
a record of 667, ought to entitle his team
to make monkeys of everybody else in
the league, refused to go back to the
bench, but he discovered that disci-
pline in this section is enforced broadly
without respect to Watkins or any one
else.
1t was the third inning in succession
that the Hoosiers failed to leave the
starting post, for Buckley gave Shu-
CART a grounder.
Glasscock hit one into Shannon that
made the kids teeth chatter and he
paved around after it like a kitten with
a spool of thread. George forced him
out. however, and two others failed to
smash the ball the right way.
Mccarthy gave Shugart a stiff one
which he failed to gather up properly.
That was their starter. Fred Roat
was coaching on first base with glass
arm and a cracked voice, allowed as it
was only one of seven. Motz made
safe single, and Stewart then made as
nice a home run hit as has been seen
In Aurora park in a long time. 1t went
over the fence almost at the carriage
gate, and dropped just outside. 1t was
a lucky hit, but good one, and it tied
the score.
Then the excitement was intense.
Denzer gave two bases in succession
and the HooSiers thought they had
everybody scared. But Cross struck
out, one of those undulating fannings
that those who face Denzer come to
sooner or later. Hogan gave Burns
fly. and still the score was a tie. But
hard hitting Hogriever was at bat and
the visitors were tickled to death. Of
course George could not do a thing but
bring in those runs. He did nit He
just poked a little one down Shugart's
way and toss to Pickett retired the
side.
1t was close, for just minute Then
Pickett sent nice hit down the left
foul line, and Shugart sacrificed. Spies
hit an easy one, and Stewart fumbled
it. Denzer met the ball with one of
his long arm swings and the sphere
struck the white mast that perches on
the right field fence. 1t was only a
single, but it was desperately close to
home run. O'Rourke gave Buckley a
foul fly. but Glasscock's third safe hit
brought in two more runs, making
three for the inning INDIANAPOLIS
failed to reach first place
George opened the eighth with
three-base hit that did not touch the
ground until it was within half dozen
feet of the carriage gate, and he made
three bases on it. Two were out be-
fore Shugart scored him with a nice
hit to right field.
stewart nit one to DenZer, who
stopped it. but fumbled it on the pick
up and it got to first base late 1t was
not costly error, for when Scheibeck
sent one down to Shugart a double
play was over in an instant. Shannon
hit to right field and Kraus stumbled
while going after the ball, but Cross
gave Glasscock an easy one, and it was
IL to Z.
O'Rourke hit safely and stole Sec
ond, the first base stolen on Buckley,
who claimed that Glasscock had in

did not allow it, however, and Tim
scored on G1asscock's fourth safe hit.
A grounder to Pickett and a pair of
pop ups to O'Rourke was the last effort
