PHILLIPS SAVED THE GAME.
Took Haw1ey's Place in the Second
Inning=DefaiIs of the Game


Comiskey's men started off like winners
yesterday but were soon "collared" by the
champions and made to give up the game
They bobbed up again in the ninth and
scared the fans for while with a lead of
one, but when indianapolis started after
them in the last half they let go for good.
1t was an exciting game and indianapolis
owes its victory very largely to the excel
lent pitching of one William Phillips, who
took hold in the second inning, after Haw-
ley had demonstrated his unfitness for the
afternoon job. A good left fielder would have
saved some runs and the team should be
supplied with one very soon. Flynn's error
in the ninth was expensive, as it gave the
Saints three runs. and put them in front for
few moments, Fricken had one bad inning
outside of which he was very effective.
Phyle, who batted for him in the NINTH re-
sponded in that direction all right, bringing
in two runs with his hit, but he had also
to assume the additional responsibility of
pitching half an inning, and there's where
he fell down. He was so wild that Comiskey
quickly saw his finish but evidently felt
that George Cross was not likely to have
better control and so the game went to In
dianapolis
Hawley began by walking Campau to first
and when the Count started to steal second
Lynch threw over that base and he kept
right on to third, scoring on a wild pitch.
Geier was also handed pass to first, but
was caught stealing. Glenalvin struck out
and Glesscock flew to left. Hawley con-
tinued wild In the second, giving Preston his
base to begin with. A passed ball, Shugarts
SaIe punt and kahOeS muff of Gillen'S fly
enabled Preston to make the circuit Stew
art fumbled Spies's lively grounder and
out Ges m Walked and
stole second, but Glenalvin flew to McFar-
land.
Then the champions realized the neces-
sity of hustling, especially as Hogriever had
been Snuffed out at the plate in the first
when, after being passed to first and sacri-
on McFarland's fly to Geier. Motz. the first
man up in the Indianapolis second hit to
left for two bases. Kahoe went out from
third to first, but Aliens two-bagger to CEN
ter scored Motz. Lynchs out at first moved
Allen along and Flynn's safe drive to CEN
ter brought him home. Geier's tumble gave
Flynn two bases and he went to third when
Glasscock dropped Glenalvins throw of
Philiips's grounder. Phillips stole second
bases. Stewards hit to left brought in two
more runs and Shugart's failure to stop
McFarlands grounder scored Hogriever.
Stewart tried TO come in on the same error
but was caught at the plate
In the NTH indianapolis added two and
made made the game reasonably safe. Shugart
art hunted to Fricken, who fumbled but
would have caught him had Glasscock COW
cred the bag. In his desire to help field the
Stewart was there before Glenalvin could
reach It, A moment later Shugart dropped
Fricken's throw, which would have caught
Hogriever mapping at second, and this was
unfortunate for st. Paul. as double steal
followed and McFarland's fly scored Hog
riever. Stewart came in on MOTIFS single to
right but the latter was caught between
bases trying for second on the throw-in and
easily, run out. Kahoe flew to Geier.
drove line fly to left that a proper out
fielder would have pulled down. 1t was toe
m pnss for kahoe h9weyer and vent for two
grounder and Shugart dropped in with hit
to center, scoring Glasscock, Gillen went
third and second and chance to tie Spies
struck out and the crowd applauded Phil
lips.
The ninth was somewhat squally, and 1t
looked very much St. Paul for few mo-
ments. Flynn fumbed Glasscock's ground
er. but as he caught Preston's foul fly and
thought little of the error and many started
for the gates. Then there was sudden
change, Cor, Gtllen and Spies cracked out
singles sending Glasscock around. passed
ball put them up a base each and they
scored on a safe drive to left by Phyle. who
had been sent to bat for Fricken. This put
the Saints one TO the good. and they held
ioiificatiCn meeting over near their bench.
wild pitch let Phyle to second, but Cam
pauS hot grounder was attended to by
Stewart and MotZ
Phyle had no chance to warm up and was
wild. He got two strikes on Lynch and
then hit him on the arm. This pleased the
crowd. and Lynch didn't seem to mind it,
II was all I'm a good cause. Flynn lodged
two bad balls and was wise enough to re-
frain from striking at two other wide ones.
This put the crowd in high feather and
there was tremendous cheering when Phil
lips hunted to Glenalvin, who threw over
Glasscock's head and Lynch came home
with the tie run The error put Flynn on
third. and as Hogriever's fly settled into
Geier's hands Dibby scooted for home and
crossed over with the winning run before
the ball got there. Score:
