There have been some instances during
the present baseball season in which the
strongest kline of a derrick could not nave
raised the Hoosiers to a place of victory
over their opponents. but yesterday the
lift was not so hard and the Tigers from
Detroit were disposed of by a score or .
to 3. The result was largely accomplished
through the poor work of the Detroit team
in the field as the visitors made Just as
many errors as Indianapolis did runs.
Casey, Yeager, McAllister, Elberfeld, Dill
Ion and Shaw all contributed their mite
to the error contribution and in nearly
each case the Hoosiers were benefited by
the fumbles. wild throws and NUTS. IL
was a horrible conglomeration OF errors
for professional ball players to mess To-
gether, but as the Indians were penenteo
by the collection there was but little wall
ing and gnashing of teeth and that was
done on the Detroit bench.
A new umpire, Mr.. Mannassau, graced
the ball field, and a person passing the
park in the first inning would have thought
a horse thief was discovered In the act
of making a stampede. as Mannassau was
called robber by the bleacherites In sIch
strong terms his ears must have tingled
with a feeling of conscientious humiliation.
This was all caused by Mannassau calling
a hit by Hogriever foul in the opening in
ming. Hogriever drove one down the third
base line, which struck on the line directly
in front of the bag. The ball was safe,
but the master of lie field, Umpire Man.
nassau, called Hogriever back, claiming II
was a foul. Ihis incensed the crowd. and
the decision was not forgotten until the
Indians had forged TO the front and had
the game well in hand.
MILLIGAN DID GOOD WORK.
Milligan did the twirling for Indianap-
oils and he did it well. 1t was his first full
game in the box in indianapolis since he
daubed the Indian paint on his face after
being purchased by Manager Watkins from
Buffalo. At times his curves were solved.
but had his support been of the gilt-edged
order Detroit would never have figured as
a possible winner. Against him was pitted
Yeager, the pet of the Tigers. Yeager has
terrorized many ball teams, and had his
support been perfect yesterday the In
dianapolis players and fans would nave
suffered a severe nervous strain IL nothing
more serious, but errors allowed men to
perch on bases, and then the Indians
punched in a collection of safe drives which
did the work. In the sixth inning Yeager
got disguised with the work of the insists
back of him and fell into the rut, passing
three men to bases, but only one scored.
Seybold was the prignt star Oh ea Inc
ing being rejuvenating to the spectators.
Magoon at second had a very bad of day,
and, while the score does not show such
miserable work, he played as II he were In
another land where ball players can doze
off in the middle of a game without suffer-
ing from their folly. Powers was not up
to his standard and twice he allowed MILL
gan's curves to get away from him and in
addition made throws TO bases that would
have brought shame on a catcher who was
behind the bat for "A team of undertakers.
TIGERS START RUN GETTING.
The Tigers livened things in the opening
inning by starting off with a brace of tall
lies. Milligan did not find the location of
the plate while Casey faced him and the
batter was passed to first. Holmes promptly
lined one to right for a single on which
Casey progressed to third. This was fol-
lowed by a sacrifice by Harley. which ad-
vanced Holmes to second. Elberfeld then
hit for a single. on which Casey and
Holmes trotted across the plate. Elberfeld
stole second and reached third on Ma
goon's error. Jones hit to Milligan and
Elberfeld was caught at the plate. Jones
pilfered second, but Dillon ended the agony
by decorating the atmosphere.
Hartsel and Magoon We're easily dis
posed of and Geier singled. Kelly popped
enc in the air which Dillon muffed. Geier
started for third and Yeager made a wild
throw, allowing him TO score. Hogriever
hit safely, but Mannassau called 1T a foul,
and on Hogriever's second attempt he went
out.
The Tigers were easy in the second and
went out in one, two, three order. Seybold
opened the Indians half with a two-bag
ger, and when Yeager tried to catch him
mapping at second he went to third on
Yeager's wild throw. Powers's single
scored Seybold. Madison sacrificed, but
Milligan and Hartsel flew out. Three
singles in the third netted Detroit but one
run. as Harley was caught at the plate on
a throw by Hogriever when Jones singled.
Indianapolis went one to the good in the
were retired from Elberfeld to Dillon. Kelly
was hit and Hogriever's two-base hit sent
Kelly to third. Shaw thought he could
catch Kelly off third and threw over Ca
sey's head, both Kelly and Hogriever scor-
ing on the error. Seybold then struck out.
Milligan pitched better ball after the third,
and he was given better support, the Tigers
failing to get a man around the circuit
during the remainder OF the contest.
One single and three bases on balls gave
the Hoosiers one in the sixth. Hogriever
went out and Seybold singled. overs and
Madison walked, and on Madison's out on
Milligan's hit to Ryan Seybold scored.
Hartsel walked. again filling the bases, but
was forced at second by Magoon's hit to
Elberfeld. In the seventh two were made.
Geier famed and Elberfeld fumbled Kelly's
grounder. McAllister dropped Hogriever's
fly, allowing Kelly TO reach third and Hog
riever to advance TO second. Seybold's hit
scored both men. After Milligan went out
in the eighth Hartsel singled. Magoon
went out from short 10 first. and on Dill
Ions wild throw to third Hartsel scored
