DETROIT, Mich, June 2S.-In a game
that fairly bristled with brilliant fielding.
both teams figuring prominently in this
respect, Detroit not only took the second
of the series from Indianapolis. but shut
the visiting team out. To tell the story of
the game briefly Yeager was the stumbling
block. In nine innings Magoon and KEEL
lum were the only ones who could hit the
ball into safe territory, and as Yeager
was steady as we'll as effective, passing
but four men to first base, six was the
the total number of men Indianapolis had
left on the sacks.
Only once did the Indianapolis players
look to nave a chance to score, while at
no time did they appear to be within reach
of a victory. With one out in the fifth in
ming Hickey was passed to first, Ryan
caught Richter's fly and Kellum made u
single to left field. Hogriever stopped a
pitched ball with his boomers, and with
Heydon at bat, chances for runs looked
bright. The catcher hit the ball hard, but
the result was a fly to Harley.
Yeager was the star performer, as in ad-
dition to pitching the finest kind of ball.
his fielding was a distinctive feature of
the afternoons sport. Elberfeld and Dill
lon also gave an exhibition of fielding that
is seldom witnessed. while for Indianapolis
Hogriever and Magoon starred, with a
circus stop of a hard grounde back of
second base by Madison as a side attrac-
ton. Three fine running catches were
made by Hogriever. his piece de resistance
being the capture of Elberfeld's drive In
the fifth inning, when he fell and rolled
over after jumping up and catching the
ball. Magoon's fielding was a finished ex-
hibition, four of his five assists. being made
after handling ground balls that looked
like base hits when they left the bat, and
so cleverly was the work done that 1t
looked easy.
Detroit scored in the opening inning. as
first base and reached second before the
ball could be fielded. He stole third, and
when Harley hit to Powers, Holmes slid
home before Heydon could get the ball
on him. Harley stole second. continued to
third on Heydon's overthrow, and scored
after Richter caught Elberfeld's fly. Ryan
walked and Dillon singled to left field only
to be forced at second when Madison made
his sensational one-handed pickup OF
Nicors grounder. Shaw opened the Sec
ond with a single. and when Yeager bunted,
kellum cut the catcher off at second.
Casey's single put Yeager on third, and
he scored when Holmes hit safely. Casey
was caught trying to steal second, and
Magoon cut Harley's drive off. An error
by Madison gave Shaw a life In the fourth,
and when Yeager sacrificed. Kellum threw
wild to first, Shaw scoring and Yeager
landing on third. Casey hit a low line
foul that Hogriever made a splendid catch
of and threw perfectly to the plate, but
Yeager slid home, throwing his body out
of reach of Heydon Nicol's home run in
the sixth ended the scoring. Score:

Coffee Pot or Flint Iron.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Charles c. Turner. of Albany. Ga. has
designed a combination fiatiron and coffee
pot. the main object Of which is TO provide
a means of retaining heat in the iron for a
greater length of time than is possible in
the ordinary irons. This aim Is accomplish
ed by filing the internal reservoir with
boiling water, which Immediately heats the
thin bottom to a temperature adapted TO
press clothes without the danger OF scorch-
ing the fabric. AS the iron cools the water
is emptied out and replaced by boiling
stantly ready for use again. Tc further
aid in retaining the heat a covering of nom
conducting material is placed around the
BODY Of the iron, being supported out OF
contact with the metallic surface. with an
intervening air space to increase It's effec-
tiveness. When the utensil Is utilized as
a cofee-pot IL is filled with the ground
coffee and water In the ordinary manner,
and il goes without saying that the coffee
will retain its heat much longer than in
the common pots.

Madison made a sensational one-hand
stop yesterday
Magoon and Kellum were the only Hoo
siers to hit safely at Detroit yesterday.
The fans still have hopes and the Hoo
siers will again be sailing upward before

With Kelly out of the game yesterday
1t was necessary to play Powers at first
and Barnes in left.
The Indianapolis errors didn't count yes
terday, as the team could not nave won
anyway with only two hits.
Hogriever and Magoon starred in the
fielding yesterday. This is nothing uncom-
mon for these two players.
The lead on first place has dwindled
down to such a point that it is absolutely
dangerous for the Indianapolis team at
this time.
Magoon is batting at a high standard.
He now has an average of 1856, and it
doesn't look as If he would fall much be-
low that mark.
Co. had their second game yesterday after
noon, the Strychnines beating the Quinines
for the second time by a score of 6 to 8.
The team returns home next Friday for
a series with Cleveland dnd then goes to

In the Batting Averages of Hoosfers
Over Previous Week.

The batting of the Hoosiers last week
was a great improvement over the week
previous. Magoon and Powers did the best
work. and Magoon still hovers near the 400
mark. 1t is necessary for him to bat that
