INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 5.-Fore-
man pitched Indianapolis into second
place today. Phyle was largely respon-
sible for the loss of the game to the
HOosiers. He pitched in wretched form
considering his remarkable work in the
second game of the series when he
administered a shut-out to the Indians.
In the second inning, after Mcfarland
had opened with a base hit, Phyle hit
Stewart, presented Gray with a base
on balls and forced Mcfarland home
by hitting Eustace. Foreman was re-
tired, Stewart scoring, and then Ho-
griever was given a base on balls.
Flynn drove long one to center, scor-
ing Gray. Three runs in all were net
ted. Phyle continued very wild. and
In the fourth when Indianapolis regis
tered five runs began the inning with
d gift of base to Eustace Foreman
followed, sacrificing and advancing
Eustace. Hogriever singled, Eustace
perchins on third. Hogriever stole
second. Flynn fouled to Glasscoclx.
Shugart at this point contributed a
hagrant tumble, and Phyle was liberal
TO Motz, giving him first on wild ones
Mcfarland and Stewart proceeded TO
tap out singles, all scoring but Stewart.
Frlcken was substituted in the fifth
and was quite as wild as Phyle He
gave Foreman a base on balls in the
inning, and a single and a life gave
run. In the sixth Kahoe was hit
with the ball, and Motz presented a
base also, both advancing on sacri-
f1ce and scoring on single by Gray.
In the eighth Kahoe walked to first on
balls, was advanced to third on Nc
Farland's single and scored on Stew
arts retirement at first Not a run
made by the Hoosiers was earned.
The Saints chalked up two in the
first. Glasscock got base on balls,
and George connected for triple, .scor-
ing on a choice. Kahoe dropped the
assist. Frank Foreman was invulner-
able until the seventh, when three earn
ed runs We're driven over the plate.
Mcbride began the fireworks with a
single after Frlcken had been fielded
out. Glasscock and George repeated his
trick, and Parrctt tapped a double.
Nyce was retired on a long fly, and
Shugart struck out. The eighth and

but what he lacked in the art of hyp-

An individual on the Detroit team
named Michael frost could not have
done more effective work for the Wis
ttors had he been under salary to Will
mot. He handed the game over to
Minneapolis, and that was all there
was about 1t. Egan and Hutchinson
were hit equally. Detroit's first three
and Minneapolis first four batters did
the stick work, and the fielding was
well divided, a low running catch by
Letcher being the best Detroit start
ed the proceedings by scoring on Nichol
forcing Hines and being batted around.
The visitors tied on hits by Letcher
and Miller, Wilmot's bunt and a fiy.
In the third Minneapolis went to tn,

the third inning, when a hit and an error
gave the Adler Kids one score In the
fourth inning the score stood 2 to 1 in favor
