Connie Mack's Men Narrowly Escape
a Shut-Out.

Indianapolis reversed Mondays result yes
terday and gave Connie Mack's men as
SOUND thrashing as they are likely to ex-
perience in many a day. Scott pitched a
beautiful game and the Brewers had all
they could do to escape a Shut-out. Only
seven Of them reached first base and but
two got as far as third. Besides being won
derfully effective Scott mad perfect control
and felded the box very nicely. He is en-
titled to great credit for his work, which
was of the sort to impress Indianapolis with
his worth and To- make the fans feel that,
with the addition of Damman, if Cincinnati
will only send him along, games like yes
terday's will be so frequent as to keep the
pennant here another year. Stewart was
out of the game, having wrenched his ankle
Monday, and Kahoe was at second. Lynch
did the catching and did it well, besides
cracking out two nice hits Aliens men
gave a pretty exhibition Of fielding and
nothing that even approached an error
marred their work. They backed up Scott's
good pitching in a way that left Milwau-
kee chance to get in the game. The
high wind maue 1t somewhat difficult TO
gauge fly balls and many were blown foul
and out of reach. The indianapolis out
helders had some pretty catches. by

bat being especially clever. Aside from a
good catch by Nich,. Of MOTIFS fly in the
first, the Brewers did lothing Of special
merit. On the contrary Barnes and Stafford
fielded badly and Daily contributed a wild
throw. Seeing 1t was hopeless chase
Mack took Pappalau out after the seventh
inning and put in Voilendorf, who was soon
disabled by one of Scotts swift curves and
gave way to Rettger. Raih took Spears
place behind the bat during the last two in
nings. The hitting of Hogriever and Deadly
was a pleasant feature. The latter twisted
his leg in an attempt to steal second in the
sixth inning and Fleming took his place.

lau's inshoots and took his base and Indian
apolis proceeded to make the proper sort Of
q start for Deadly sacrificed and balk put

Aliens men another in the third.
Scott opened the fifth with a walk and
Hogriever sacrificed him to second. Deadys

Barnes, who made such a bad throw to
first that two runs came in. Motz and
Kahoe were retired at first. 1t was in the
sixth that Indianapolis put the game well
out of reach. Allen was passed to first and
Stafford fumbled Lynchs bunt, intended
for a sacrifice. While Pappalau was trying
TO catch Lynch mapping Alien stole third,
coming home on Flynn's lift to left. Scott
went out on bunt strikes, but Hogriever hit
to right for two bases, sending in Lynch
and Flynn. Deady's hit to left brought
Hogriever home. An effort to steal second
