How the clubs stand.
"sTUBv browns APPEARANCE.
The New HoOSier Pitcher i'm the Box
Yesterday.


grounds yesterday. Indianapolis did some
more tall hitting, while the Bobolinks put
up horrible game Their work was a
nightmare to the fans who, however, en-
joyed the long hits made by Mcfarland and
Flynn as well as the numerous shorter ones
by the rest of the team. Interest conferred
largely on stub" Brown, who arrived from
Cincinnati during the morning, and was
promptly put to work by Manager Watkins.
He promises to be one of the clubs star
pitchers for he has some of the fastest
curves ever seen. His speed is on a par
with Goars, and he appears able to MAIN
tain it throughout the entire nine innings
with little effort. Just where the nickname
Stub applies is not apparent, for Brown
is quite a big fellow. While he was wild
enough yesterday to give nine bases on
balls, it must be borne in mind that he
has not pitched a game in over month.
Besides this, when one team is as far ahead
of another as indianapolis was ahead of
Grand Rapids all the time yesterday the
umpire is apt to be pretty severe on the
fortunate teams pitcher, going on the
theory that there will be no kick coming.
The crowd watched Browns work with
keen interest, and he was given a cordial
greeting by the fans, especially several
times when he retired the side without
run when it looked as if the visitors would
surely score.
MIGHT HAVE BEEN A SHUTOUT.
Perfect support in the sixth would have
resulted in a shutout for the Bobs. Flynns
drop of Stewards throw spoiled a sure
double, and enabled Glenalvin's men to get
their only runs. The prettiest plays of the
game were the double from Brown to Wood
to MotZ, in the third which retired the
side when the bases were full, and Hog
rievers throw to the plate on Newell in
the fifth. This throw cut Newell off in
beautiful style as he was coming in from
second on Campau's hit Stewart had lots
to do, and didn't miss a chance, his play
being clean and fast all through. The In
dianapolis fielding was good to look at
pretty much all the time.
Pappalau, the eX-Cleveland pitcher, was
in the box for Grand Rapids. When he
pitched for Patsy Tebeaus big leaguers in
this city last April he was given drub-
bling which was repeated with considerable
emphasis yesterday. His support was not
of an encouraging character, and Watkins's
men ran the score away up on him before
the game was half an hour old Hog
riever's customary base on balls opened the
,
him to third. Mcfarland flew to McKibben
and Hogriever scored. Motz hit to right for
a base, and Gray came home, Motz going
on TO second when Pappalau let Campau's
throw bound through him. Deadly walked,
and a double steal followed aided by
Twineham's low throw to third. Stewards
safe hit to left scored the two men. Nc
kibbens tumble and a wild pitch put
Stewart on third, and he scored on Newells
Wild throw of Woods grounder, Flynn
meantime having gone out on strikes.
Brown was retired at first.
KEPT RIGHT ON SCORING.
This bunch Of runs was sufficient to win
the game, as it turned out, but Indian
apolis kept right on scoring in the second.
when singles by Hogriever and Gray Nc
Farlands triple to right and MOTIFS fly to
Slagle yielded three in very short order.
Deadly flew to Mckibben, but Stewart
walked, Flynn and Wood cracked out
singles. Campau's throw was allowed to
roll unheeded through the diamond, and
Strauss fumbled Browns grounder, all this
adding three more. Hogriever forced Brown
at second.
Then Watkins's men rested for a couple
OF innings. In the fifth with one out Hog
rleVer walked ana started to steal second

ham after the second inning, threw wide to
GlenalVin, and "Hoggie" went all the Way
around. Glen" might have stopped the
throw and held George at second had he

Gray had gone out at first Mcfarland put
the ball against the clubhouse roof for three
bases, but was left, as Motz retired the side |
from third to first. Flynns home-run hit |

little. Glenalvin threw Hogrievers ground |

reached third on the error. Gray beat out |
a little one and Glen made another bad |
throw, Hogriever scoring. Mcfarland got a |
