1t wasn't much of a game from an Indian
apolis standpoint. Jimmy Manning proba-
bly, regarded 1t as very interesting but the
fans were tired after the Blues had chased
four runs across the plate in the seventh,
and many of them went home Stewards
playing was bright spot, but Flynn's was
just the reverse. He could not get them
over to Motz in the right way. somehow,
and as a result is credited with five errors.
He seemed nervous and never sure of him
self. The third base problem is as difficult
as ever. 1t doesn't look as if Hoffmeister
was going to be given another chance, and
Flynn is far from being success at this
important corner. 1t might be better to
shift Kahoe and Flynn, the latter being
such fast outfielder.
The Blues put up clean game. Their
hitting was no harder than that of the
champions, but it counted for more because
it was mixed up with Indianapolis errors
and some wild pitching. They were first to
score, Williams getting a hit in the second
and coming around a sacrifice and two
wild pitches. Slagle's hit in the third,
MOTIFS muff of SCOTS throw of Frisbees
grounder, Flynn's wild throw of Con-
naughtons bunt and Willamss out added
Kansas City run. In the last half Lynch
hit to right center for three bases and came
in on Flynn's single. This was encouraging,
but the Blues put a damper on the crowd
in the fifth. Gear hit over McFarland's
head for home run to start with. Flynn S
poor throw of Slagle9S gFoundeE and SIM
liar error by Allen on Connaughton's slow
one, followed by Wilson'S single to right,
accounted for another run. Lynch handed
them the third by throwing to second base
when Wilson started TO steal Connaughton
came home while Wilson was being run
down.
the last half when Allen walked and Lynch
hit to right center again for three bases.
Flynn was passed to first, but Scott forced
Flynn at second, Lynch coming home.
Hogriever lined beauty to center for a
base, but Stewards grounded to Williams
caught Scott at third, and Mcfarland
struck out. Indianapolis got another in the
sixth on Kahoe's three-bagger to left and
Aliens safe hit past Connaughton, which
the latter stopped but fell down on. Lynch
followed with a single to left, and Indian
not run himself out at second. Allen had
gone on to third, but quick return of the
ball nailed Lynch. Flynn flew to Slagle.
