GAVE HAHN A DRUBBING.
Rattle Of Base Hits Was a Feature of
the Game.

The Indianapolis team returned from Co
lumbus yesterday morning and in the after
noon took the opening game of the final
Detroit series very handily There We're no
especially good features aside from the
hard hitting Of Watkinss men, who found
the ball pretty much all through the game
Goar broke the seasons strike-out record
by making ten Detroiters fan the air.
They gave south paw Hahn an awful
drubbing in the first inning Hogriever
opened with a safe hit, but was forced at
second by Grays attempt to sacrifice. For
the next ten minutes the rattle of base hits
enlivened the smalr but apprecative crowd.
Mcfarland got single to left and Nc
Carthy one to right which got past DUNCAN,
scoring two runs and letting Mccarthy
reach third Motz drove a safe one to left,
scoring Mac, and Woods single to right
which DUNCAN failed to stop, brought Motz
home and allowed Bob to amble to third
Stewards hit to right scored Wood. Flynn
struck out, Goar got hit and Hogriever
filled the bases when billiard dropped
Steinfeldt's throw of his grounder. Nichol
made a great catch of Gray's fly and re-
tired the side.
Again in the fourth did Watkins's men
take another whack at Hahn. Gray opened
with a hit to center. Mcfarland struck
out, but Mccarthy hit to center for base
Motz flew to billiard, after which Wood sent
Gray in with a single to right. Dungan's
throw home encouraged Bobby to run
towards second and he was caught between
bases. He lodged very artfully along the
line and Mccarthy broke for the plate. This
appeared to rattle the Michiganders and
billiard failed TO cover first, allowing Wood
g a
gan.
With two out in the sixth, Mccarthy,
Motz and Wood got singles, earning a run.
Motz was caught trying to make two bases
on Woods hit. In the last half, after De-
troit had furnished a couple of easy vic
Tins, Burnett was passed to first and
lowed with safe hits, scoring three runs,
after which Hahn struck out.
Indianapolis scored another in the sew
enth, Stewart getting base on balls and
going to second on Flynn's bunt hit, in
tended as a sacrifice. Goar struck out and
Hogriever flew to billiard. Gray sent Stew
art home with a hit to right, but was him
self thrown out trying to get to second on
Dungan's throw to third.
In the eighth Burnett hit a grounder to
Goar, which was diverted to Flynn, who
threw it low to firss and the ball went
through the bleachers. Before MOtz recov-
cred it Burnett had made the circuit The
next three men were easily disposed of.
In the ninth, with one out, FLYNN lifted
high ny that dropped safe near the plate
and "Dibby MADE two bases. Goar went
out from pitcher TO first, but Hogrieyer and
Gray got singles, Flynn coming in. Nc
Cauieys wild throw to third allowed the
other two men to come III. Mcfarland
walked, but Mccarthy went out from sec
ond to first. Detroit brushed up four in the
last half, McCauley opening with q hit.
Mike frost batted Tor Hahn and hit safe,
and Beard got two-bagger, scoring them.
DUNCAN flew to Mcfarland and billiard to
Gray. Burnett was hit by pitcher and
Nichol followed with double to left, send
ing in two more runs Steinfeldt struck out
and the game was over. One thousand peo-
ple saw IL The score:
