Eight Out of Nine Games Played Won
by the HOLSTERS.
Connie Macks men are having even more
trouble with the champions this season than
last. They lost again yesterday, giving
eight out of nine games to Indianapolis in
the series between the two clubs. They
were never in the hunt yesterday, for the
home team took a good lead at the start,
and Hawley did the rest. This young man
will come close to leading the Western
League pitchers if he keeps up his present
clip, and there is little doubt but he can
do so. Both he and Taylor came near put
ting men out of the business yesterday.
Taylor hit Deadly in the head and knocked
him fiat, while Hawley, in the ninth inning,
crippled Nicol by hitting him on the right
hand. Nicol appeared TO suffer more than
Deadly, who recovered with remarkable
quickness from his injury. Five hits was
the best Milwaukee could do with Hawley
while Taylor was touched up for nine, with
a total of fifteen
The fielding on both sides might have been
improved upon, but, at that, it was brilliant
in spots. Motz and Allen did some remark
ably pretty work. The formers catch of
Waldon's liner in the second, and of Tay-
lors foul fly near the bleacher rail in the
off seven runners by fast playing. Stafford
and Lewee have clever catches to their
credit, but the latter was badly off in his
general playing. Hoffmeister's home run
was a luminous feature of the afternoon.
After the Brewers had failed to accumu-
late anything in the first, Aliens men took
a turn with better success. Hogriever went
out from short to first, but Deadly was hit
by the pitcher and promptly stole second
Mcfarland was given his base on balls and
Hoffmeister hit beauty to right center for
home run. Motz was disposed of by Le
wee and Stafford, and Stewart flew to Le-
wee. Taylor took another whack at Deadly
in the third, and it looked as If he had hurt
the big fellow badly. An inshoot tipped
Deadys bat and struck him in the head.
He fell and play was suspended until he was
able to get up. He went to first and forgot
his injury long enough to score on McFar-
lands two-bagger. Hoffmeister sacrificed,
then Motz hit to right for base and Nc
Farland came in. Motz was caught stealing
and Stewart went out at first.
For six innings the men from Milwaukee
struggled in vain for run, and during that
time they got but one hit: In !. the seventh;
taken Spears place in the fifth. hit to right
for a base. Taylor forced him at second,
stole tnaE base nlmSelL ana scored on NlcOlS
two-bagger to right. Allen made a clever
stop of Shoch's grounder and threw him
out at first.
Indianapolis got this run back and four
more with it in the last half. Deadly beat out
a slow one to short and Mcfarland few to
Waldron. Lewees bad throw gave Hoff-
mester his base, and Motz followed with
single to right, bringing Deadly home. Hoff-
meister reached third on the hit and scored
on wild pitch. Stewart reached first on
balls. and Aliens three-bagger TO left center
sent two more runs in. Lynchs single to
right scored Allen. Hawley flew to Shoch.
who then gave Hogrever a life by fumbling
his grounder. The latter took so much of
lead off first that he drew throw there,
and Lynch who was thus forced to run 10
third. was easily put out by Stafford's
throw.
In the eighth. after DAILY struck out,
Stewart to MotZ, but Waldron hit to left
for two bases, scoring Weaver. Lewee flew
to Mcfarland. Score:
