PUT UP CARELESS GAME.
HOOsiers Really Made Enough Error

HOosiers Really Made Enough Errors
to Lose.
The aggressive, manipulating Saints have
departed, leaving behind them three games.
Few fans expected indianapolis to clean
them up three times in succession, for they
are hard people to down, but that's just
what happened. Glasscock was in bad
humor over the string of defeats, and had
numerous wordy tits with the crowd in
which he, as usual, got the worst of it. The
thing that made him maddest was getting
caught mapping at second after making
two-bagger in the third. This very play
was fatal to st. Paul, as the game was lost
by one run, and the reflection was not es-
pecially comforting to the veteran. Can
tillcn had an off day, and Indianapolis suf-
fered severely at his hands. In the fourth
inning Hogriever dropped safe fly in right
which was so far inside the line that every
body, including the st. Paul players them
selves, was amazed when the umpire called
it foul. Glenalvin was out in the seventh
on a close play at first, but was given
a hit, and the run he scored came near
spelling the Indianapolis combination.
Aliens men put up rather a careless game
and made errors enough to lose, but that
streak of hitting in the first inning. coupled
with Phyles wildness and Shugarts error
In the seventh put them one to the good at
the finish. In the other six innings they
could do nothing with the st. Paul pitcher.
Foreman did not pitch his usual game. but
was just good enough to turn the trick"
and that's all that is necessary.
Those five runs in the opening inning were
made after Hogriever had gone out from
pitcher to first. Glenalvin fumbled Stew
arts grounder, and Mcfarland and Motz
followed with safe hits, sending him
around Kahoe was handed his base, filling
them up in nice shape. Aliens hit through
the box, which half the infield ran for but
failed to get. sent Mcfarland home.
Lynch's grounder to Glasscock forced Motz
at the plate, but Flynn followed with a
three-bagger to right, sending three men in
and incidentally winning the game. Fore
man flew to left.
The Saints with their customary activity,
showed disposition to overhaul the cham
pions in the second. Shugart started the

Phyle struck out and things looked easy,

Some "wobbly'' playing gave them an

the three errors We're not as expensive as
they might have been.
1t was in the seventh that Comiskeys men
tried to score and We're happy for few mo-
ments. CantiIlon called Genalvin safe on
a hit, which Stewart blocked and threw to
MotZ. Glasscock's sacrifice and Pres ton s
single to right scored the run. Hogriever
fumbled the hit long enough to let Preston
to second, where he was caught mapping by
a pretty throw from Lynch to Allen. Shu-
the Saints long to rejoice. for in the last
half, with one out, Phyle favored Foreman
with a base on balls and Hogriever got a
hit to left. Stewart hit to Phyle, who threw
muffed and the bases were filled. Phyle
couldn't get them over for Mcfarland and
another pass to first forced in the winning
run. Motz struck out the third strike be-
ing called, though it was wide and should
have given him his base and forced in an
other run. Phyle hit Kahoes fingers and
the ball. bounding into fair territory, was
fielded to first by Phyle. Kahoe fell as he
ducked the ball and tried to show Cantillon
where he had been hit but the umpire took
the other view of it and Indianapolis had to
be satisfied with one run. 1t proved just
enough, however. for Foreman was steady
and effective in the next two innings. only
one man reaching first and he went no
further. Score.
