YOUNG BOWLING DIDN'T LAST.
The Pitcher from Kentucky Went Up
tn the Air.

SS~~~N--
lead in the first inning and were running
along easily and confidently, when Wat
kins's men suddenly opened on Bowling.
The young man from Kentucky went up
in the air as if he had been shot from
gun and Connie Mack warmed Barnes up
in a hurry. He evidently knew Bowling
was a goner in the sixth, for with his team
still five ahead he started Barnes to work.
He diagnosed the case correctly, for in the
seventh Bowling was hammered so hard
he was glad to be relieved. While the oper-
alton of overhauling the Brewers was IN
progress Mack was a sight. He was so
nervous he could not sit still and wore
path from the bench to where Barnes was
warming up. AS the runs came in he called
various directions to Bowling until the lat
ter was more ratified than ever. The score
was tied and Connie looked like a thunder
cloud When the leaders batted in two
more the next inning he was the picture
of despair, but braced up in the last half,
after the Brewers had taken turn at ty-
ing the score and actually looked quite
cheerful when Manassau called the game
at the end of the ninth on account of dark
ness. While all the hitting going on
which saved Indianapolis from defeat the
fans" shouted as they have not shouted
in weeks.
PHILLIPS WAS RUSTY.
Phillips showed the effects of his two
weeks lay-off He was rusty in the first
inning after which he appeared to be in
his old form, for he gave the Brewers plen-
ty of trouble Manassau helped them along
by an exceedingly rank decision on Weav-
err, who was out by yard in the first in
ming, when he tried to steal third There
was no question at all as to the man being
caught but Manassau called him safe and
thus saved Milwaukee from defeat.
kahoe played second and ms one assist
was Sensational s., lon HE f run Bak tb
ball and got it to Knau with a sort of
back jerk IN time to catch Stafford. who
was forced. He spoiled McFarlands chance
to get Spears short fly in the eighth by
almost running into him, the result being
that the ball dropped safe and the man
afterwards scored. Knau played q good
game, his error costing nothing.
With one out in the first Weaver hunted
70 or rs u and donbe Steal foIowed
on which Weaver was thrown out at third,
but was called safe. Stafford, Blake, Lee
wee, Spear and Smith followed with safe
hits, five runs resulting. Downing flew to
Knau and Nicol struck out. Gray's low
threw Of Lewee,s gro1dnd der in the thru
shortstop reached second. Spears sacrifice
moved him to third and Smiths fly to Nc
Nco strneS on BAKE hf 70 center for
a base in the fifth and stole second, going
right along to third on Woods poor throw.
Lewee flew to Knau and Spear to McCar-
thy Blake coming in on the last fly Smith
went out from short to first
THE LEADERS BRACE UP.
With the score to against them, the
leaders took a sudden brace in the sixth.
Bowling was apparently pitching with as
much speed and using as many deceptive
curves as ever. Gray and Mcfarland had
gone out on long flies when Mccarthy
drove the ball to right for two bases. Motz
followed with hit to center and Wood
with a two-bagger to left, earning two
runs and stirring the crowd up wonderfully.
Kahoe retired the side from short to first.
The Brewers were disposed of so quickly
in their half that Barnes, who was warm
ing up, was not ready and Bowling con-
tinued to pitch He was visibly nervous
and sent Knau to first on balls and his de-
struction was completed when DAILY threw
Phillipss grounder wild to second in an
effort to head off Knau. -Hogriever hit to
center for a base, scoring a run and Gray
went him q couple better by placing the
ban against the rgh ed fence for three
home Then Mack beckoned Bowling to
come in, but as he saw Mcfarland coming
left handed batters would stand less chance
with a ''south-paw. His Judgment was
good so far as it related to Mcfarland,
missed it on Mccarthy, who drove the ball
over Blakes head for three bases, sending
Gray in Mack lost no more time calling
Bowling in and Barnes took His place, only
to make wild pitch and let Mccarthy
home with the tie run. 1t didn't matter
much however as Motz hit to left for a
base, which would have scored the run.
Wood went out from second to first and
Kahoe from pitcher to first.
Barnes couldn't stop them in the eighth,
for Knau opened with hit to center and
Phillips, who tried to sacrifice, dropped one
in short right field for two bases. Barnes,
at his managers direction, gave Hogriever
a base on balls. Gray's long fly to Nicol
scored Knau and advanced the other run
ners, Hogriever reaching second by a good
slide Netherlands out from DAILY to Stat
ford sent Phillips in and Mccarthy went
out in the same way.
1t looked pretty safe for Indianapolis. es-
Decially after Lewee'S strike out in the last
half, but Spears fly fell safe between Ka-
hoe and Mcfarland and Smith slammed
the ball to the left center fence
for three bases, scoring him. Phil
lips was now pitching with much speed
and one of his fast drops got through
Wood, Smith coming in. This wild pitch
tied the score for good and all, Barnes
struck out, Nicol went out on a foul fly
to Wood and neither side scored in the
ninth. The game was then called. Score:
