A big, clumsy-looking individual named
Katoll wearing the big initial &C. on his
shirt front, was on the slab for Chicago
yesterday and his bewildering tactics could
not be solved by the Indians, which result
ed in Chicago carrying off the second game
by score of to 1. There was large
crowd present, a great number OF ladies be-
ing in the stand to applaud the Indians on
to victory and for the first few innings
there was no cause to believe that Indian
apolis would not come out victorious again,
but after the sixth inning had been played
the windy cityites played tag with the
bases and enough of them made the circuit
to place them so far in the lead that they
could not be overtaken.
Umpire Sheridan was not in the least
adverse to giving the visitors every close
decision, and the fact that he decided a
close call on Thursdays game in favor of
Indianapolis seemed to afford him an ex-
cuse for turning the tables yesterday
There was a very questionable play in the
sixth inning when Padden stole second
Magoon had the ball in his mitt awaiting
the runners coming, and when Padden
slid in Sheridan claimed Magoon failed to
touch him. calling the runner safe. This
was followed by batting streak which
netted run for the visitors. Sheridan
also gave Katoll the corners with great
regularity :
DAMMANN LET DOWN.
Dammann went to the box for Indian
apolis and for five inning ne pitched mas
terly ball. In the sixth he attempted to
stop hot liner and it burned his fingers.
After that he seemed to have the same
speed and control of the ball but his curves
were not as puzzling as they had been in
the earlier innings A lucky hit in the
seventh inning started trouble which gave
the visitors three tallies before the bonn
bardment ceased. Two men had been re-
tired when Brodie popped one into right
field Kelly. Magoon and Hogriever started
for the ball, and, unfortunately, they slack
ened speed before reaching 1t and the
sphere dropped safely This followed
by enough safe hitting to place the Chi
cago score out OF reach In several of the
opening innings Dammann won applause
by retiring the side when the visitors
seemed certain to score.
The fielding of both teams was little
livelier than characterized the play of the
first game. In two innings the chances of
indianapolis getting into the game and
making a few runs were suddenly taken
away by cleverly executed double plays on
the part of the infield of the Chicagoites.
McFarland's friends were again in evidence
and cheered him when he went to bat, but
he was again unable to respond with hit.
He was the only member of the visiting
team who did not hit safely. Kelly made
one of the prettiest plays of the game when
he ran to the bleachers and caught foul
ball from the bat of Shugart in the fourth
inning. Sugden also made a pretty catch
of foul from Powers's bat in the fourth
| inning.
The HOLSTERS started off like winners, be-
| ing the firts to score as they secured one
run in the first inning, but that was the
last time they sent a man across the rub
| Der. Chicago went to bat first and Dam
mann passed the first two men, 1t looked
| dangerous for a while, but Hartman hit to
| Hickey and Hoy was thrown out at the
| plate. Shugart hit to Magoon and the side

| ter, Hogriever scoring on the out. Madi-
son and Kelly went out and the side was
| retired Chicago lost no time in tying the
/ score and one was registered in the second.
Padden hit safely and Dowd's sacrifice
| sent him TO second. He stole third and
| Sugden hit to Madison Padden started
home and the indianapolis captain threw
| too low to Powers allowing the run to
| score. Dammann pitched himself out of
| the hole and no more runs were made.
SEYBoLD'S LONG HIT.
After two men were out in the third Sey-
| bold hit over Hoy's head for three bases,
| but he was left at third as Madison flew
| out. The next two innings saw the In
| dianapolis team retired in one. two. three
order. In the fifth Chicago started off with
| a two-bagger by Sugden, the ball bound
| ing over Magoon's head. Katoll walked,
| but the next three men went out. In the
| sixth Hartman flew out and Shugart made
| single. Padden hit to Dammann and Shu-
| CART was thrown out at second. Padden
/ stole second, aided by a decision of Sher-
| idan's. Dowd and Sugden singled, scoring
| the run.

sixth and Chicago came to bat again to add
