Watkins's warriors had much more sue
cess yesterday with that graceful young
southpaw. Danny Friend, than on Monday
They hit him quite often in the fifth and
seventh innings. and should have had sew
eral runs in the fifth, instead of but one
1t was stupid baserunning alone that kept
the score down, for in the fifth inning In
dianapolis got five clean singles and a nice
sacrifice. Hogriever ran himself out at
third with no more chance to make it than
he had of flying. and Gray did pretty much
the same thing at the plate a few minutes
later. But as long as Indianapolis did not
need the runs it made no difference, though
in the middle Of the game it is quite as
well to pick up as many as are floating
around, and Manager Watkins was not
overly pleased at the bad baserunning
Besides, it broke in on an elegant streak of
hitting and saved Friend from pretty
severe drubbing.
Phillips, who had fully recovered from his
illness of the previous day, pitched a SUI
rerb game The way he moved the Blues
down was a sight. They got but five men
TO first base, and only one any further
than that. Flynn's tumble in the first-the
only Indianapolis error-Kahoe'S miss of a
third strike and three hits account for the
five Blues who reached first. For eight in
nlISS Philips neId them TO one hit and shut
them out. In the ninth Friend raped out
a three-bagger, and after O'Rourke had
flown to Flynn and Desehanty gone out on
strikes, Connaughton saved & shut-out by
hitting to center for a base, scoring his
pitcher. McVicker flew to Mcfarland, end
ing the game.
1t was a beautiful contest, not exciting
because the Indianapolis men acted like
winners from the start, but good to look
at The fielding on both sides was clean
and fast and Stewart did as much or more
of it than anybody. Flynn played short in
good style, though he. missed a chance in
the first inning and had a close call on
another a moment afterwards. Mccarthy
was at the old stand in left, but had little
to do. His eye is rusty and he struck out
twice, but he will soon remedy that all
right Besides, he was up against a left
handed pitcher yesterday.
1t was not until the fourth inning that
indianapolis could score. Mcfarland
walked as a starter and Motz sacrificed.
Kahoe hit to center for a single and poor
baSerunning kept Mcfarland from scoring.
He stopped at third and Kahoe reached
second on the throw home. Mccarthy was
at bat, when Blanford let a swift one get
away from him and both runners scored
Kahoe doing some hustling to get in. Nc
Farland struck out and Stewart heW TO
Gettinger.
Flynn opened the fifth with a safe hit
to center and Phillips sacrificed. Flynn
stole third and came in on HogrleVer
single to center. Gray hit to left Tor a pase
and Hogriever tried to make third, but was
caught ten feet from the bag. Mcfarland
got a nice single to left. but the ball was
quickly felded and Gray was held at sec
crd Motz hit to left for single and Gray
was caught at the plate, retiring the side.
The other two runs were scored in the
seventh, and were both earned Flynn led
with a two-bagger to left. Phillips flew
to Connaughton and Hogriever to Get
finger. GRAY hit to left hard and clean,
and Flynn came home. Gray reaching sec
ond on the throw to the plate. Mcfarland
drove a single to center and Gray scored.
Motz gave McVicker a long fly, which he
captured after a hard chase. The one
Kansas City run has already been de-
