GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
Indianapolis at Minneapolis.
Grand Rapids at Milwaukee.
II Grand Rapids gave the Apostles a
bad scare yesterday afternoon. The
locals, with Denzer in the box, had
shut the visitors out for four innings
and piled up ten themselves. With
this lead, Manager Comiskey adjudged
it safe to give a trial to his new
twirler, Isabel, who comes from Du-
luth. Isabel had immense speed and
wonderful curves, but owing to the
fact that the ball frequently struck
the ground before reaching the home
plate, once going so far as to strike
the rubber and bound into the netting
around the press box, his Wildness
gave the visitors three runs, and they
made another in the seventh. Twitchell
gave the locals run in the eighth to
which they were not entitled, the only
run they got after Luther was SUBJ
Stituted for Slagle, when Comiskey
started his youngster.
Carney waited and got his base on
bad ones. Hassamaer and Donovan
both hit the ball hard, and then Nc
Farland, who is not ordinarily much Of
batter, drove a high one toward
right field, where Scott Stratton had
been superseded by a man named
Warner, catcher of the famous Morris
team which defeated Wilmot and
Goodnow's flour packers to A. War
ner did not get the ball in the air and
when he picked it up he threw it clear
across to the other fence. Luther got
his base on balls, Lowney wanted to
hit 1T hard but he struck out. Gilks
hit long one to center and McFar-
land came home, making the fourth
run Of the inning. The visitors were
only three runs behind. Mcbride hit a
hard one down the field, and Luther
scored, bringing 1t still closer. Nc
Bride went to second on the play. and
Lew Camp had three balls pitched to
him, all wild. Manager Comiskey
called Phyle in to pitch and the next
ball gave Camp his base.
Carney had chance to tie with a
long hit, or win the game, if he could.
make homer and he did hit the ball
a terrific drive. The crowd held it's
breath as it sailed through the air
until George, by beautiful catch,
pulled it down. 1t saved the game.
O'Rourke got first on balls as the
game opened and went to third on
STATIONS hit scoring when Stratton
started to steal second
That was the only run in the game
until the fourth, although Grand
Rapids had a close call in the third.
Two bases on balls and a single filled
the bases with only one out, but Nc
Bride and Camp in turn famed the
air. They had no luck at ALL
Glasscock opened the fourth with a
safe hit and the next three followed
suit. Two went out next, but Denzer
hit safely, and four runs were the
total for the inning.
Slagle was getting a warm reception
which was continued in the next in
ming, which opened with the cere-
monies attendant on the presentation
OF base to Stratton. Glasscock flew
out to Donovan, who was making some
splendid plays in the center garden.
and George hit to Slagle. The pitcher
tried to get Stratton at third, but
Camp did not touch his man until too
Donovan failed to stop, and Jim
went clear around. Hoilingsworth hit
nice one down the foul line, and
Spies drove the ball out of the LOT for
two bases. Denzer again singled and
went to second when they tried to
catch Spies at the plate. Five runs for
the inning when O'Rourke went out.
Isabel then went in and gave three
successive men bases. all of whom
scored.
Luther struck out Warner, the new
man, and Glasscock's base on balls
was the only charge against him. A
double play helped out Isabel in the
sixth after he had given a base on
balls.
In the seventh the locals had three
on bases when the new man, Warner.
struck out second time A base on
balls, two wild pitches and a long f1v
to center scored Mcbride, and a base
on balls and Donavan's two-base hit
were wasted when Mcfarland went
out.
Glasscock hit safely and stole second
In the eighth, George flew out to Camn
and Burns hit to Lowney, going out at
first. Carney threw to the plate for q
double play, and Donovan had Glass

called him safe. Mullane hit for two
bases, but did not score Lowney got
