Hoosiers were hoping it would con-
tinue.
But spot of blue broke through
the murky masses overhead, the rain
stopped falling, and the players took
the Held again, less than minute be-
fore the time limit was up.
Nlchol finished striking out, and Ka-
hoe gave Preston a fly.
Allen threw Campau out, and many
were glad, for the clouds had again
taken possession Of the zenith, and 1t
was desired to get five innings
Still little fault could be found with
Geier, whose delay consisted in smash
ing a three-sacker into distant CEN
ter, or with Glenalvin, whose good
single pushed Geier across the plate
willy nilly. Glasscock forced Glen out,
but Shugart hit safely, and it was
raining, too. Gillen struck out. and the
Hoosiers had a chance to finish the
game, but they did not hurry, and 1t
began to rain hard. The whole lot
took to the basement of the grand
stand again, and it looked as though
the Saints might yet lose the victory
they had practically won, but after
about eight minutes the shower stop
ped, and Allen went to bat. A fly 70
Glenalvin was followed by Flynn's
grounder in the same direction, and
both We're outs. Hawley walked by
courtesy of Denzer. but Hogriever flew
to Campau, and the game was a game.
The Hoosiers wanted to hurry it
along then. They I'll plenty of OPP
portunity, too. 1t began to look as
ii it might really clear up, but all
skies looked dark to the Foosiers af-
ter Preston hit an easy grounder to
Allen and 1t slipped through his fin
gers as though 1t was money sent from
nome. Spies hunted. Hawley made a
clean throw to second. but Allen
muffed the throw, and both runners
were safe. Denzer did sacrifice. Cam
pau sent grounder to Stewart, who
threw Preston out at the plate. The
count had inadvertently thrown his
bat right across the base line, so Pres
ton had no chance to slide in. Geier
waited for four bad ones and that filled
the sacks, but Glenalvin merely gave
Nichol a long fly.
Stewart fouled to Gillen, and Nc
Farland struck out. Motz gave Hene
a pop-up, and the Hoosiers were dis
guSted. Glasscock wanted to know
what was the use of keeping it up in
the rain, but Mannassau said play ball,
and the game went on. Allen threw
Jack out at first, but Shugart was pre-
scented with a pillow Flynn made a
pretty stop and throw on Gillen's hard
one, and Preston flew to Hogriever
hoe famed. Allen was thrown out by
Shugart, and the Indianapolis team
were clearly up against it, as the say
ing is.
Spies flew to Mcfarland. but Roger
Denzer met the ball with a mighty
crash, and it sailed far into center field
The mud around the bases was pretty
heavy, but Hornpipe was never better
a mudlark than the sturdy pitcher,
while Mcfarland did not have much
better field in which to pursue the
elusive ball. Roger made three sacks
to the clear. Campau was again the
favorite Of four ill-advised pitches, and
stole second, but Geier struck out, and
Glenalvin flew to Flynn. So the two
were left.
The locals had just taken their posi-
lions In the field when the downpour
was resumed, and the players and UNI
pire again sought cover. 1t was then
nearly six, and it seemed useless to
wait another half-hour, so Umpire
Mannassau called the game. The score:
