Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLE, Ind, May 9.-This has
been gala day in college baseball, but 1t
had sad ending for DePauw. The home
team was shut out, the first time in years.
and by their hated rivals of the State Uni
versity at that. Desperate contests between
DePauw and Indiana University are sure
every time they meet. These matters have
not alone been in baseball, but in debate,
oratory and college politics. The interest,
therefore. in to-day's contest was heightened
by what has gone before. AT IL o'clock this
morning a special train of seven cars gaily
decorated with ribbons and loaded to the
guards with enthusiasm drew into the Mo-
non depot There were 265 male and female
''rooters' in the party. and they formed
procession headed by band of twenty-four
pieces. These made a parade OF the prin-
cipal streets and openly proclaimed that
they had come 10 see their team take long
walted-for revenge on DePauw.
Mckeen'S Park was filled 10 overlooking
early in the afternoon. The l. u. yell was
heard in nearly great a volume as that
OF DePauw, anG these yeiis went PACK ana
ing plays favored either side. DePauw pre-
sented its strongest battery in Pulse and
Basye. The i. L. victories heretofore have
been mostly won heavy batting, but the
DePauw fellows felt confident that the good
pitching of Pulse would hold the neavy hit
Harris in the points There were a thou
sand people on the field when play was
called at o'clock, with the following play
J. U.-Sheridan, shortstop; Harris, catcher
(captain); Pitcher, third base; Schaller, sec
ond base; Moore, first base; Downey, center
field; Knepper, left field; Widney, right field:
DePauw-Castleman, left field; Haskell,
base: Bayse. catcher (captain); Jackson, cen
ter field; Rurick, third base; Stratton, right
field: Pulse, pitcher.
ming and DePauw at once went TO pieces.
Indiana seemed TO be able TO hit the ball
at will, and they rolled up two in the first,
four in the second, five in the third and
four in the fourth. DePauw was never in
It, Singles and. doubles were numerous by
the Indiana sluggers, and in the third Moore
drove the ball over the right-feld fence for
a home run, bringing in two men ahead of
him Indiana played a brilliant game in
and their fielding was very yellow. Haskell,
at first, played miserable game, as did
Hayne at short and Matson at second.
When Pulse placed ball over the plate an
| Indiana bat would meet IL, and base hit
or an error was the result. After the first
! half the only interest in the game was as
! to whether DePauw would score. DePauw
| had men on third several times. but at
such points Daily would settle down and
| than got revenge for former DePauw vic
| tories. After the game the visitors formed
a procession. headed by their band, playing
| a funeral march, and paraded the principal
streets. The feature of the game was a
sensational catch of line drive in left by
Knepper. upon which double was exc
| cuted. The score:
