AT about 5:25 yesterday afternoon a crowd
of disgruntled Cowboys were loaded into
a bus at Washington Park to be driven to
the hotel. where they could get out of
their fighting uniforms in order to get
away from this city. They did not care to
wear baseball clothes with TX. c." on the
shirts where they could be seen. And who
could blame them? After losing three
games to. Indianapolis they came out of the
contest yesterday carrying for their end
of the score big oval hole with ring
around it. To lose three games and then
be shut out as finale to their visit here,
making four straight defeats, was bitter
dose for James Manning and his crowd,
but the Indians could not refrain from adj
ministering such slaughter, as Milwaukee
is too close on their heels. When all was
over yesterday Indianapolis possessed five
tallies to show for its work in the game.
The contest was the fastest and prettiest
that has been seen at Washington Park,
and the fans who grew tired of witnessing
Kansas Citys fruitless efforts to win a
game and remained away yesterday lost
chance of seeing the fastest work done
by the Indianapolis team, while the Cow
boys were infused little with the same
kind of ginger and enlivened the contest
occasionally by making brilliant plays.
WAS A PITCHERS BATTLE.
1t was really the first pitchers battle
of the year. Kellum was on the slab for
Indianapolis and Gear did the tossing for
had the best of the debate. but Gear was
no easy mark for the Hoosiers. After he
had been extremely liberal in the third
inning in the distribution of passes to first,
sending no less than three men to the
initial bag, he anchored to terra firma and
from that time on held even honors with
Kellum.
At times the support afforded Kellum
was of a sensational order and plays were
made that were as brilliant as the group
of electric "glims" at the feet of Miss
Indiana" on the monument. Seybold was
kept busy doffing his cap TO the en-
thusiastic spectators who applauded his re-
markable catches in center field, while
Flynn made one of the greatest stops and
throws at short seen in many days.
Hickey. Hartsel and, in fact, the entire
band of Indian warriors came in for their
share of applause during the contest. The
Cowboys, too. made brilliant plays, which
were recognized with applause from the
crowd $
In the first inning Farrell and Schaefer
handled ball so wellsin throwing to third
that Magoon was easily touched out when
1T was a million dollars against a box of
grease paint that he would stretch his
drive into a three-bagger. Coughlin and
Schaefer took care of. their territory in a
graceful manner, but Wilson at short
showed that ne needed TO be better ac-
quainted with the position. He was placed
there because of the illness of Wagner.
HOLSTERS REACH THE RUBBER.
In the first inning after Farrell and Will
son had been retired O'Brien was hit and
CAMEL drove one to left for base. That
was one of the times the visitors came near
to scoring, but Hemphill placed one in the
air where Heydon could get under it and
the side was retired. indianapolis Jared
much better. Hogriever started matters
with single to left and Hartsel flew out.
Magoon connected with one and the horse
hide was sent to deep right center. Hog
riever trotted home and Magoon did not
slacken speed at second, but ran on 10
third, and by two beautiful throws by Far
rell and Schaefer was touched out by
Coughlin as he slid into the third bag.
But three men faced Kellum in the Sec
ond inning and they were retired without
being given a chance to bow to the initial
bag. Powers went out for Indianapolis
and Heydon hit one back of third base
which rolled to the bleachers, Eeydon 60

went out, leaving Powers perched on Sec
ond. The third inning was a duplicate OF

cerned, but the Indians did much better
and through little hitting and the gen.

and Hogriever again connected safely with
