Indianapolis at Detroit.
Columbus at Grand Rapids.
How the Clubs Stand.
TIGERS DEFEATED.
Close and Exciting Game Won by In
ANNAPOLIS in the Tenth.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
DETROIT, May 3.-Detroit was doubly
disgraced to-day, first by throwing away
a game to Indianapolis, and, secondly, by
the cowardly action of Here Burnett In
smuggling Umpire Ebright. Just after
Hogriever crossed the plate with the win
ming run Burnett ran across the field, and,
upbraiding Ebright for putting him out of
the game, he struck him two or three times
on the face and head. The indianapolis
players interfered and pulled Burnett away,
and the crowd gathered around. 1t was
with difficulty that Ebright was escorted
from the field in safety and taken down
town in Watkins's omnibus. Burnett has
hurt the game here, and many ask for his
expulsion. The row occurred through
Ebright calling out the left-fielder
while he was trying to steal sec
ond in the ninth. Burnett asserted that
Stewart was fully a yard from him as he
slid by. The decision helped lose the game
for Detroit, as Burnett would have scored.
frost was also put out for kicking on the
same decision.
The day was gloomy and cold, yet $500
people turned out to the opening game of
the season here. 1t was as pretty a con-
test as has ever been seen on the grounds.
The usual parade preceded the game.
Mayor Maybury in a speech predicted that
the end of the season would again see him
on the grounds to help raise the pennant
flag, then gracefully pitched the first ball
to the veteran Charley Bennett. The ball
went wide of the mark, and four times did
the mayor try before landing the ball over
the plate. Indianapolis played snappy ball,
and after Wolters lost the anne the visitors
won it back. Dungan's double, a bunt and
a wild pitch gave Detroit the first run. In
dianapolis followed with a pair in the same
inning. Flynn drew four balls, Stewart
singled and Gray cracked a two-bagger.
Detroit forged ahead in the fifth on a base
to Allen, Wolters's wild throw on Knolls
bunt, Illness hit and Knoll running home
on a steal by Hines. The tying run was in
the seventh when, with two out, Whistler
gave Kahoe first. Wolters's hit advanced
him, and when VOTERS was being chased
on the line Kahoe scored on Whistler's
throw. Netherlands base on balls, a sac
ritice and MOTIFS hit in the eighth put the
visitors ahead again. Knoll walked to first
in the ninth, went to third on Illness hit,
and home on a bad throw by Kahoe. In
the tenth Hogriever was given first, stole
second and went on to third on PAGES wild
throw to catch him. winning the game on

The Game at the Theater.

In the sixth inning of the game at De-
troit yesterday Motz was caught stealing
second. A run was badly needed Just then
and the crowd at English's watching the
automatons reproduce the game, was pull
ing might and main for Indianapolis. As
the wooden champion" representing Motz
started to steal there was a shout of APP
prevail, which was cut suddenly short by a
throw from the catcher. you big slob,"
yelled one disappointed '~'rooter'' in the gai-
lery and then there. was a general laugh.
Several times whom VOTERS sent men to
base on balls a cry went up Take him
out" and several unfortunate victims of the
pitchers skill were Kissed as they struck
out and told TO get off the stage. There
was some excuse for the overzealous fan
who called Motz a9tslob," for it was just
after Flynn had made a two-bagger and
been put out at third on MOTIFS grounder,
so the crowd had a sort Of double grudge
against the latter.
The greatest enthusiasm of the afternoon
at the theater was when, with Flynn and
Stewart on bases in the fifth inning, Gray
hit for two bases scoring both men. He
ran himself out at third, but the crowd
forgave him readily enough as he had
batted in the runs. When the Detroits
were retired in the ninth and tenth there
was plenty of roofing" for the one run
last at bat. Hogrieyer's successful trip
around the bases brought the crowd to it's
feet and Everybody left the theater in a
happy frame of mind.

baseball Notes,

With Mcfarland back in the game the
Hoosier outheld is as strong as the best of
them. Flynn is showing up excellently.
Yesterdays Observation-Disclosures game
was postponed on account of wet grounds.
Two games will be played on Wednesday.
Leon Wolters won his first game with the
Hoosiers. The Detroiters got but seven
hits off his slow delivery, but he gave
eight bases on balls.
Catcher McAuley will arrive in Detroit
to-day and go to work at once with the
Tigers. He had to come to VanderbeckS
terms after quite a holiday.
With Phillips or Goar in the box to-day
indianapolis hould win its second game at
Detroit, the home team having used up its
best pitcher, Thomas, yesterday.
If Stewart can only get his eye on the
ball he will be a tower of strength to the
club. He is playing by far the best second
base of any OF the Western leaguers.
Burnett, of the Detroits, forgets that he
is not a prizefighter. He showed a cheerful

cold, dreary and forbidding, with rain

also spoke of the poor sanitary conditions
that must exist in a building that did not
have proper ventilation. He feared that the
new Police Court room would be no better
