kELLUM IN THE BOX.
Though Nervous at First. He Finished
Like ~ Veteran.

The Millers contributed two more games
yesterday to the long string that has given
Indianapolis a firm hold on the pennant
They were aggressive enough in the first
to give the leaders rather a close race of
it. Kellum did the Indianapolis pitching
and did it well. He was a little nervous at
the start but soon settled down and for
the last seven innings pitched like a vet
eran. Flynn played an inning IN the first
game and was then relieved by Kahoe
Wood taking the Iatter's place behind the
bat. Manager Watkins thought it well to
save Flynn for the games at Columbus to-
day and tomorrow. The sun was hot yes
terday, and the little shortstop's head
bothers him considerably every now and
then.
indianapolis secured such a lead in the
second game that Foreman took things
rather easily. and, though the Millers
scored five runs in the first two innings,
the leaders kept adding to their string
right along, SO the result was never in
doubt. Hutchinson was touched up freely
in most Of the seven innings. Both teams
fielded poorly. and the small crowd was not
sorry when Manassau called the game at
the end of the seventh, so that the players
would have plenty of time to catch their
trains.
The FIRST GAME.
After retiring the leaders without a run
in the first the Millers opened on Kellum
as if they were going to scare him out of
the box, though their hits were lucky little
affairs. Eustace went out from third to
first and the next three men landed on the
ball for a base each. With the corners
filled Kellum forced in a run with a gift to
Roat. Kuehnes fly to Mcfarland sent in
another, and then CAMEL hit safe to center,
scoring two more. Tiabald flew to Nc
Carthy.
Watkinss men proceeded to get into the
game In the second. Motz opened with a
safe hit and stole second. Kahoe fouled to
third, but Roat let Stewards grounder get
through him and Motz came home Kelum
struck out. but Miller missed the third
strike and Stewart made two bases on the
error scoring on Woods fly to right Hog
riever hit to right center for a home run,
sending Kellum in Gray went out from
short to first.
After Herman's strike out in the second
Mccarthy dropped Eustace's fly and the
latter made three basesy sbut was run out
on the line trying 10 score on MHlers
grounder to Gray. Stewart fumbled Letch-
ers grounder and Parrot came along with
2 two-oagger TO right; scoring Miller.
get in on the same hit
indianapolis soon tied the score, McFar-
land getting base on balls in the third
stealing second and coming in on Kahoe's
single to left after Mccarthy and Motz
had gone out Kahoe was caught stealing
second. Stewart walked in the fourth but
was forced at second by Kellum. Wood
was passed to first and Hogriever's safe hit
to center sent Kellum in. Wood was caught
at third on Grays grounder to pitcher and
Mcfarland went out from third to first.
McCarthy's home-run hit to right center
added one in the seventh. With one out in
the ninth Mccarthy hit safe to right but
was forced at second by Motz, who scored
flew to pitcher. After the second inning
the Millers could do little with Kelum's
left-handed twisters and he shut them out
for seven innings. Score:
