HOLSTERS. ~; ST. PAUL, 5.
Weakness of Two Pitchers Also "a
strong Fnctor i'm the Ga.ne.

Indianapolis took the last. game of the
ST. Paul series yesterday afternoon by d
score of y to 5. This big margin was not
Que TO the perfect work of the Hoosiers
or their heavy hitting, but through the Wis
itors very ragged work. over three thou
sand people hooted and yelled themselves
hoarse to help worry the opposing pitch
ers and in this they were very successful
Indianapolis was lucky to bunch a few
hits with the misplays and battery errors
Of the Saints and as a result the locals
came out victorious
Phyle, who so lucky against the In
dianapolis team in the second game of this
series, shutting the boosters out by a score
OF to 0, went TO the slab for st. Paul.
lie did not possess the same effectiveness
however, as he did Thursday and he was
taken out in the fifth inning The time he
was in the box he went completely up in
the air and Indianapolis scored five in the
fourth inning. After this avalanche of runs
crossed the plate, Phyle was dismissed and
tricken went in to try his hand He was
but little better, for it seemed to be i'm
possible for him to settle down and get
the bail over the plate. These two pitchers
have themselves largely to blame for the
loss OF the game. for it was through their
wildness and inability to hold the Hoosiers
down that the locals piled up so many runs
off few hits. Twelve unearned runs tells
the story of the luck of the locals and the
poor work of the visitors The four errors
that were made by the visitors were al.
costly and were ineXcusable. The outheld
OF the visitors had very little work to do
but the inheld was kept busy. When the
pitcher would take balloon ascension his
support also went wrong and Indianapolis
pronted.
Foreman trifle unsteady, but, with
the exception of one inning he held the
hdrd-hitting Saints down at critical times
Ills support was much better than that at
forded the ST Paul pitchers. Both errors
charged against indianapolis We're costly,
4 but were more or less eXcusable. Flynn
and Mcfarland covered the outfield in good
style. Hogriever didn't have any work to
do, but had his ankle been strong he could
have got under two hits that fell safe in
his territory.
Lally again had an off day, which he
takes about seven days out OF the week, and
b0th teams suffered as a result of his rank
