HIT FOR THn>TY-FIvE BASES.
Nothing Could stop the StrOng-Armed
HOLSTERS Yesterday.

Watkinss men had lots of fun with the
Bobolinks yesterday. during the course of
which they lifted their batting averages
materially and used up couple of pitchers.
They drove Scott from the box in the third
and hit his essor-Brady-pretty nearly
as hard All this time Phillips was pitch
ing effectively and the team was putting
up great ball behind him, three double
plays being features. Toward the close OF
the game Phillips eased up a little and the
Bohs batted in three, Cancels home run
in the ninth being a scratch as the ball
bounded wild over McFarland's head. The
two Grand Rapids pitchers were hit for a
total of thirty-five bases, SCOTS share be-
ing thirteen and Brady getting the balance
twenty-five. The Indianapolis men all hit
well, Deadly and Wood leading. Mcfarland
and Hogriever got home runs, the former S
being one of the cleanest and prettiest
drives of the season
For the fourth successive game Hogriever
walked as a starter. Gray hit to center for
two bases, scoring him. Mcfarland rolled
one to Cancel and was out. Motz hit to
Newell and Gray was down on the
line. Deadly hit into CANCELS hands. The
visitors got into the game in the second,
when Campau hit to center for a base.
Glenalvin forced him at second, but Gan
zel got a single to center and McKibben
a three Dagger to left center, scoring two
runs. Twineham dumped one in front of
the plate and was thrown out at first, Nc
Kibben scoring by fast work. Scott ended
the inning from Gray to Motz.
Indianapolis slaughtered Scott in the
third and before it was over drove him
from the box, Phillips started the hitting
with a o-bagger to right. Hogriever
went out from short to first Gray hit to
center clean and hard and the ball went
right through Slagle, Phillips and Gray
both scoring Mcfarland hit over Slagle 5
head for a home run. Motz put the ball
in left for base and a passed ball let him
to SECOND. Deadly soaked one sate TO le15
and Motz came in. Stewards out advanced
Deadly and Flynn's single to center scored
him ''Dibby' reached second on the throw
in and Woods safe one to left sent him
across the plate. Scott was taken out of
the box at this stage and Brady put in.
Indianapolis had batted around. Phillips
walked and Hogriever hit to center for a
base scoring Wood Brady passed Gray to
first, filling the bases, but Mcfarland flew
In the fourth Motz led with a three
Dagger, but was caught at the plate try
ing to score on Deadys fly to Slagle, who
made a pretty throw home. MOTIFS base
on balls, singles by Deady ana stewart
and Woods two-bagger to right added
three more to the Indianapolis string in the
sixth. The seventh was almost a repetition
of the third and before Indianapolis got
! through hitting Brady six runners had
crossed the plate Hogriever opened with
a home-run hit to the left center fence,
where the ball appeared to stick for a
moment while George was losing no time
hustling for the cigars. Campau made d
fine catch of Grays fly. Singles by Nc
Farland, Motz and Deadly, Stewards base
on balls, Flynns two-bagger to left center
and Woods out at first with some clever
base running, yielded five more runs and
then Phillips thoughtfully struck out. With
two out in the eighth Mcfarland got hit
to left MotZ caught an inshoot in the side
and Deadly scored them both with double
to left center, though Motz would have
been caught at the plate had Twineham
held Slagle's throw. Stewart flew to Slagle.
The visitors picked up a couple in the
eighth, when Slagles single was followed
by Newells triple to left, the latter coming
on home when Deadly threw wild to Gray:
Had the score been close Deadly would
doubtless have thrown straight to the plate
as he can do it when necessary. The next
three men were put out in order. CANCEL
opened the Grand Rapids ninth by smash
ing a hard one at Mcfarland. The ball
bounded over his head and the big first base
man made the circuit The side was then
retired without further delay McKibben
flying to Deadly Twineham striking out and
Brady hitting into MOTIFS hands. Score:
