FOR seven innings yesterday dLtcinooh
the Indianapolis ball players struck at the
curves delivered by Pitcher Bowling, of the
milwaukee Club, In vain endeavor to con-
meet safely. when suddenly, like a rain
storm from a clear sky, the Hoosiers
opened up on Mr.. Bowling in a pleasing
fashion, and sent the sphere TO all corners
of the lot for singles and doubles. 1t was
in the eighth inning that this good work
began. and Geier started the fun with
single. and after Seybold struck out Pow
ers hit to the tonic sign, and the rest of the
Hoosiers at once became strengthened and
exhilarated. This was followed by Gray's
two-bagger and singles by Flynn, Hickey
and Hogriever, which, all told. netted five
runs and brought the Indianapolis total to
eight. while the Brewers had but three.
Prior to that rally in the eighth the In
dams had managed to send three tallies
across the plate. and the score was tied
when the stick work began in the eighth
There was a lack of that dopiness which
characterized Thursdays game, but in the
early innings there were some very rank
errors made by the Indians. which took
away the interest in the game for short
time. Powers could not locate second base
early in the game. but later he threw to
that bag with great accuracy, and nailed
several of the visitors who tried to pilfer
the base.
HARNESS DELIGHT.
Barnes was in the box for Indianapolis.
and 1t was with great delight that he sent
them over so that they could not be hit. as
he was formerly member of the Milwau-
kee aggregation. and nothing was more
pleasing to him than to register a victory
against his old teammates. His best work
was accomplished In the sixth inning. when
he filled the bases and then retired the side
without a man wiping his shoes on the
home plate. He issued tickets to the first
two men, and the third man up made a
scratch hit, filing the bags 1t looked dan
gerous when Smith, the fourth man to face
Barnes, stepped to the plate He hit to
Then Bierbauer few to Flynn, and the next
man hit to Hickey and went out. When
the indianapolis team got out of that hole
without the visitors scoring at least one
run the hopes OF winning the game were in
creased, and the rooters forgot about the
cratic work in the opening innings. and
