ONE LONELY TALLY.
MiIlers Again Fare Poorly With the
HoOsiers.

A few of the faithful fans who bear no
scars from the three battles the Millers have
fought and lost, three policemen and the
usual contingent of newspaper men sat and
shivered in the cold yesterday afternoon as
the Hoos:ers made it three stra:ghts from
the home team. They not only made 1t three
straights but they allowed the Millers only
two runs in the three games, allowing them
but one yesterday with big Bill" Phil
lips in the box, who held them down to three
hits, only one of which was of any use.
1t was a clean victory for the Indians,
scored by brilliant fielding at all times, and
by pitcher of whose curves the M:llers could
learn nothing. Ony five of the home team
got to first base, one got home, two remained
there and a like number were damaged in
transit. Try as they would, the Millers could
not place their hits into safe territory. The
and just about as effective Every thing that
came their way they got, and what they
didn't get came back from the outfelders just
about as quickly as it takes TO tell it. These
are the reasons the Millers did not score.
Why the Hoosiers scored so many is another
story, and much more disagreeable one to
the local fan.
Phillip, the tall young man from St. Peter,
was the first of Wilmot's twirlers to try con-
clusions with the Indians. He remained in
the box for five innings, and during that
nine times. Two of the hits entitled the
batsmen to round trips, three OF them took
them halfway round and four called for one
sack each.
the fifth Harvey took his place, but the
Hoosiers batting streak had come to stay,
and Mr.. Harvey fell before them for home
run, double and three singles in his three
innings.
AS in Wednesdays game the Millers scored
their lone run in the first inning. Ball got four
wide ones. and was the only man during the
game Phillips so favored. Lally sacrificed and
advanced Ball to second, and ~Wilmot brought
him home with hit for three bags away
down to Mcfarland in center. Miller sent one
out to Eustace and Walter tried to come home
but was caught between third and the plate,
while Miller got to first. Pickett handed Stew
art q warm drive, and Ace held 1t and the
side was retired. This ended the run-getting
for the Miliers, and with the exception Of but
one inning thereafter only three men stepped
before "Big Bill" and their lives were short
Only In the third and eighth inning did the
Hoosiers fail to score. They opened up with
three in the first two OF which came in on
an error by Partridge Hogriever walked be-
cause he didn't want to pay his fare, and
Flynn advanced him to second with a neat
sacrifice. Phillippi nailed Gray's hand to his
tNed to place out of reach, but Wilmot
took it in and two men were out with two
men on the sacks Mcfarland tried to sink
one in the mud at his feet and beat it out to
first Ace Stewart chose the opening between
Pickett and Cassidy and sent an easy grounder
down to Partridge Partridge tried to pick

legs, and while he was chasing 1t Hogriever,
Gray and Mcfarland scored and Stewart got
to third, on what should have been nothing
more than a single. Wood knocked foul
fly down to Lally and the side went out with
three for starter.
One more was scored on an error In the sec
ond. Eustace sent one over second for two
bases. Phillips gave Ball an easy one, but
Artie's fingers turned to thumbs and the ball
went through him. Instead of going after It
he stood stock still like a big oyer-grown
school boy and watched Eustace cross the
plate and Phillips get to first.
This ended the error making and the bal
ance Of the Hoosiers' runs were scored on
good, clean hits, Gray's, McFarland's and
Phillips homo runs being responsible for two
each. The score:
