Four Bases by the HOLSTERS.

It was a sloppy game-that of yesterday
but Indianapolis won and nobody has what

Watty's men in several instances ran the
bases like animated cigar stands and they
piled up eight large, rosy errors but they
batted savagely and had the easiest sort
of time walloping the champions Phil

hind him didn't appear to ruff1e his serenity
in the slightest degree, for he was as
steady as a clock, giving but one base on
balls and letting the Millers down with
six hits. Carney, who was reported to have
been farmed to Peoria, bobbed up in the
box for the champs" and he certainly
pitched like farm hand, giving ten bases
on balls and being hit for a total of twenty
four bases. Indianapolis gave him little
rest during the nine innings, some one
plugging away at the ball all through the
game and frequently several of them. were
at it. Three double plays sraced the field
work of the home team, Motz taking hot
line hit from Boyle's bat in the fourth and
doubling Eustace, who was playing off the
base. Stewart caught one something like
it from Carney's bat in the seventh and
doubled Boyle at first and Flynn threw
Miller out at first in the fifth, Motz doub-
ling Letcher, who tried to reach third, by
a quick throw across to Gray. Flynn made
q sensational stop in the first of Picketts
grounder and threw his man out, ending
the inning and saving run. He picked
ming back of second and made a fine throw
of it. He fell down on two easy ones later
in the game, but was lucky enough to have
the errors cost nothing.

followed with a double to left, scoring him.
