The Brewers Fare Badly with the In
dianapoIis TwirIer.

IT was very much Foreman's day and
the Brewers never cut the slightest figure
in yesterdays game after the opening inn
ing. Not only did Foreman hold them down
to seven well scattered hits and one run,
but he also batted in three runs himself
and scored another. He made three OF the
nine hits credited to indianapolis and won
his own game all around. His support was
the next thing to perfection, Aliens error
being a high throw to Motz in an effort
to double Waldron with Weaver in the
third Allen had stopped Waldron's fast
grounder very prettily, touched second in
a hurry, but he let go the ball too hard and
it cost a base. Fleming had plenty to do
and showed himself fast and clever Hoff-

Reidy was effective most of the time, but
the champions punched hits enough on him
to win by good margin. though they did

man they have to blame for their defeat.
