THE SECOND GAME.

THE SECOND GAME.
| There was uneasy feeling among the
rooters when they saw big Roger Denzer
warming up for the second game. The
| thought of this tough gang of leg-breakers
| from st. Paul sweeping the series clean,
and on the indianapolis grounds, too. was
unbearable. There had been nothing in the
| three games already played and lost to
warrant the expectation that indianapolis
could win the fourth. The first two men
who faced Denzer were easy Victims but
| the next two-McFarland and Mccarthy
We're passed to first. The latter, however,
was nipped at second on an attempted
double steal. Then came a half inning or
distress. Manassau sent Mcbride and
| Gle nalvin to bare, though several of the
balls called looked very much like strikes.
| GlaSScOck fOuled to Wood and George flew
| to Kahoe. Foreman had wild streak at
| this ilopportune time and passed Nyce and
| Gillen to first, forcing in run Isabel flew
to Mccarthy and there was feeling OF re-
lief.
/ Glenalvin was so sure of MOTIFS little fly
Woods safe drive to left moved the cap
tain to third. Wood stole second, but
len. while the crowd fretted at tremend-
Gus rate over the failure to bring in the
runs. 1t remained for Foreman to tie the
score with hit to left, which sent Motz
home and Wood to third.
WHERE THE TROUBLE CAME IN.
A steal. aided by wild pitch, placed
Foreman on second, and then Hogriever
lifted the foul fly to Spies that caused the
| trouble above described. Knau took Hog
riever's place in right field and Kline was
| Spiess substitute. Each of these under
studies" was instrumental in getting run
for his team. Kline opened the ST. Paul
second with safe hit to right and went to
second on wild pitch. Mccarthy made a
| fine catch of Denzer's foul fly, but Mcbride
| hit to center for base and Kline would
| have been caught at the plate by McFar-
| lands good throw had Wood held the ball.
Mcbride reached second on the play and
| tried to score on Glenalvins single to left,
but was thrown out at home. Kahoe FUN
| bled Glasscock's grounder, but captured
| Georges and threw old Battle AK out
| at second.
| indianapolis tied once more in the fifth,
| when, with Kahoe out, Gillen threw Fore
| mans grounder low. The lively pitcher
| stole second, and Knau after Kline had
muffed his foul fly, drove in the tie run by
! a clean drive to left. Gray flew to Nc
| Bride and Mcfarland to Glasscock. The
leaders won out in the, seventh, when
| lined one to left that Isabel fumbled, al
lowing Stewart to score; Foreman's out
| third, after which Glasscock made a
| clever catch of Knau's foul fly. Gray
| dropped one in front of the plate, which
| Denzer and Kline ran for, and the latter
| juggled long enough to let Kahoe score and
| Gray reach first. Mcfarland hit to center
| for base, but was forced at second by
! Mccarthy
Foreman had the Saints guessing for the
| last five innings, and his support during
/ that time was of the right sort, except
| Kahoes muff of Glenalvlns foul fly in the
| fourth, which was caused by three men go
/ ing after the ball. Gray's work was espe-
! cially fine his stop of Glenalvin's grounder
! in the seventh being a feature 1t was fol-
| lowed by a couple of safe hits and Conn.,
iskey's men We're on tip-toe again, yelling
| like fiends Darkness was rapidly coming
on and the big crowd grew uneasy once
more, as Il was wa, g9heaeraIy feit that Man an
inning was over Gray, however, made an
| other good stop of Nyce's grounder and
| threw him out. Gillen was urged by his
fellow Saints to put er over the fence"
but all he could do was to dump it in
! front Of the plate, an ugly hit to handle
! at critical time. Wood snatched the ball
| up quickly and snapped it to Motz just be-
fore Gillen reached the bag, and the game
