the Game.
The Brewers left them all here-all three
games They did not do so willingly, but
under compusion, and yesterdays was the
toughest of the lot, for they outbatted and
outfielded Indianapolis, though Reidy was
hit harder than the score would indicate.
The Milwaukee outfeld had much more to
do than Aliens trio, and Barnes and Wal
dron each had a sensational catch. Barnes
ran back on McFarlands fly in the third
and caught it with one hand just when it
looked good for a home run. Waldron's
catch was of short fly from Hogrievers
bat in the first, and it scarcely seemed pos
sible for him to reach the ball in time, but
he did The fielding of Hoffmester, Stew
art and Motz was brilliant all through, and
the big first baseman won the game with
that three-bagger in the fifth. He hit safe
ly three times out of his four times at bat,
and drove in three of the five runs. Hog
rievers catch of Days fly in the seventh
was a good one. Shoch made Milwaukee's
only error, but it was a fatal mistake. The
only Indianapolis error that cost anything
was Kahoe's bad throw in the first, which
was good for two runs. He had no time
to lose, the chance was hard one, and the
throw went wrong. McFarland's muff of
for Hogriever ran into his territory, and
the danger of collision caused him to drop
the ball. The error cost nothing, however
Both pitchers had perfect control, the
only battery error being Reidy's balk in the
opening inning, the first called here since
Sheridan stopped Foreman in two rounds.
Manager Mack shifted his batting order
again and Wadron, the first Brewer up,
hit to left for a base. Shoch sacrificed and
Days out from Scott to Motz put Waldron
on third. Weaver dumped one in front of
the plate and Kahoe picked it up and. in
his hurry to head Buck off, hit him on the
shoulder. The ball bounded into right field
and rolled so far that Weaver made the cir
cult, following Waldron in Stafford got a
single but Barnes hit into MOTIFS hands, re-
firing the side.
After Waldron had chased to the foul line
and pulled in Hogriever's fly and Deadly had
gone out at first, Mcfarland was given his
base on g. balk. Hoffmeister hit one entirely
too hot for Shoch and MOTIFS single which
followed, sent Mcfarland home. Stewart S
hot grcunder was handled cleverly by Shoch
to left in the second encouraged kahoe to
make a similar hit, scoring the captain.
Scott sacrificed and Hogriever's out sent
Kahoe home. Deadly struck out.
With two out in the third, Stafford put the
ball over McFarland's head to the fence
for home-run, tying the score Hogriever
let Barnes hit get by him and the runner
made third but was left there by Spear S
fly to Motz.
The champions won out in the fifth after
two men had been retired McFarlands safe
hit to left opened up the way and Shoch' S
tumble of Hoffmeister's grounder was fol-
lowed by MOTIFS three-bagger to left center,
which scored the two runs necessary to sue
cess. After that Reidy was so effective In
dianapolis could not score but it was too
late. Aliens men had all the runs they
needed Milwaukee made a desperate effort
to catch up but fell short just one run. In
the sixth Stafford got his third safe drive
and Barnes touched Scott for a single to
center. Spear tried to sacrifice, but forced
Earnes at second-Scott to Stewart. Lee
STAFFORD, but Reidy was disposed of in the
same way. A two-bagger by Barnes in the
eighth, with one out, cheered the visitors
into hope that they might yet pull out,
but the best Spear could do was fly to
Stewart and Lewee few to Mcfarland.
Raih was sent to bat for Reidy in the ninth,
but was cared for by Stewart and Motz.
Waldron just missed beating out an ugly
grounder to Hoffmester. shoch hit safe
one which the latter blocked, but couldn't
get across in time. Daily hit to Hoffmeister,
who threw to Stewart, catching Shoch at
second and ending the game. Score:
