GLENALVIN,s TUMBLE.
1t Helped Things Along Wonderfully
for the HOLSTERS.

for the HOLSTERS.
The small crowd of faithful fans at the
ball park yesterday saw Indianapolis pull
a game out in the ninth inning very
handily. 1t was a rally that sent them all
home in good humor as it turned defeat
into victory at the eleventh hour and put
the Bobolinks TO rout. When the final in
ming opened the score was to against
Indiana polls. Manager Watkins sent Nc
Carthy to bat in place of Hogriever, and
he hit easy little grounder down to
Glenalvin. There was a howl of delight
as Glen fumbled the ball and made
couple of futile efforts TO pick it up. Nc
Carthy crossed first in safety and Cross
said something which evidently nettled
Glenalvin. The latter spoke very sharply
to his pitcher, concluding by saying:
You'll do as you are told, L will take
$50 from your salary" The two men came
very near mixing it up just at this point,
but Jack Newell stepped between them and
they resumed their positions. Gray picked
out ball that suited him and hit it to
right for three bases, sending Mccarthy
around with the tie run. Mcfarland rolled
an easy one to CANCEL, Gray being held at
third. Cross purposely sent Motz to first
on balls, preferring evidently to take a
chance on Deadly, though the latter had
hit him for single and a double The big
fielder smashed the first one pitched on a
dead line to center, and it looked good for
two or three bases Slagle, however made
a great running catch of it. Gray, who
like every one else, thought the ball was
going safe, had run off third, but when he
saw Slagle was going to reach it he ran
! back and then started for home. Slagle
threw to Cross, who in such a hurry
to get the ball to Twineham that his throw
was wide and Gray scored. Stewart then
hit to left for two bases, and Motz came
in, Flynn following with a safe drive to
right that scored Stewart. Wood gave
Cancel a hot liner which was cared for
in clever style.
With three to tie, Glenalvin sent Griffin
to bat for Cross in the last half. The fast
little man from Saginaw hit to Gray and
was retired at first. Slage walked. and
when Flynn fumbled NewelPs grounder
matters looked just a trife squally.
Strauss, however, nit to Gray forcing sla-
gle at third, and Campau flew to flynn,
and the game was won.
AN UNUSUAL BALK.

Grays out from short to first, third on

MOTIFS grounder. Mcfarland had mean
while fouled to Newell Deadly also flew
to the third baseman. The balk above re-
ferred to was made in curious way
Motz was at bat, and after waiting a few
seconds in hitting attitude lowered his
bat and turned his eyes from the pitcher.
Cross, not observing this, started to de-
liver the ball. bat, seeing Motz looking
elsewhere, stopped and called: Look out,
Frank though he did not let go the ball
was balk ali right enough, and Hogriever
was allowed to take third on it, though it
was pretty tough luck for Cross.
