Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GRAND RAPIDS June 19.-IndianapoliS
won to-day's game by superior playing all
around. The Bobolinks had bad streak
of the yellow in the second inning, and
played like lot of small boys. Gayle went
on the slab for the team, and the visitors
took kindly to his slow delivery, and
knocked him out of the box in the third
inning. Foreman on the other hand was
effective throughout the game, and kept the
few hits of the home team we'll scattered.
The bombardment of Bobby Gayle began
in the second inning. Flynn started out
with single, and Kahoe advanced him on
neat sacrifice. Then Stewart sent liner
into right which Campau allowed to get by
his legs. The ball rolled to the fence, Flynn
scoring and Stewart reaching third. Nc
earthly fouled out to Twineham and Fore
man hit safe, bringing home Stewart. Hog
riever followed with a two-bagger Gray
hit an easy one to Roat, who made a sue
cessful effort to sit on the ball. The other
infielders stood still like a lot CT dummies
while Hogriever ran home and Gray
reached second, the ball in the meantime
being fielded and thrown promiscuously
over the diamond everywhere but where it
was needed. Mcfarland retired the side by
going out at first.
Grand Rapids managed to score one in
the third, Twineham getting four balls,
going to second on Gaye's sacrifice and
home singles by Newell and Roat. In
their half of the third the Indians scored
three earned runs. Motz hit little one in
front of the plate, and Gayle slipped and fell
in fielding the ball, being unable to recover
himself in time to catch Motz at first. Motz
started for second, and Gayle threw the
ball around behind his back toward Camel,
who got it and threw Motz out at second.
Motz was credited with hit. Flynn and
Kahoe lined out singles and Stewart sent
the ball into the corner of the right-field
fence for home run, clearing the bases.
Mccarthy next took a safe hit, and there
is no telling when the side would have
been retired if Glenalvin had not taken
Gayle out of the box and put Brady in.
Foreman was the first to face Brady and
he hit to Roat, who touched second and
threw out Foreman at first executing the
first double play and retiring the side.
For the next three innings the visitors
were unable to solve Brady, only one hit
being made off him. In the seventh Gray,
the first man to bat, sent the sphere over
the right fence for a home run. McFar-
land flew out to center, Motz was given
four wide ones, and Flynn got the ball
on the arm. Then Kahoe hit long fly to
Slagel, and the runners advanced a base
each Brady purposely presented Stewart
with his base on balls, filling the bases.
Mccarthy accepted the opportunity, and hit
for two bases, sending in three more runs.
Foreman waited for four balls, and got
them. Then Hogriever went out on a pop
up. Slagel scored for the home team in
the eighth by safe hit and Stewards
tumble of Newells grounder. The visitors
played a gingery game all the time while
the playing of the home team after the
third innings was listless. Attendance 500.
