When the echo from the applause which
followed Powers's three-bagger in the ninth
inning died away yesterday afternoon the
indianapolis team had just as many runs
as before the game was s~tarted-none. The
Buffalo aggregation. however, had done
much better. gathering in q pair OF TALES
during the progress Of the game, and
neither of the runs was earned. 1t was a
pitchers battle. and. emitting the large
element of luck which followed the Bisons.
Kellum had the best of 1t. but Amole had
the satisfaction Of administering a shut
out Amole was as wild as an uncivilized
Borneo native, and was extremely liberal
in giving passes to first, giving a total OF
ten bases OF balls, hitting one man and
making an error on a bunt hit, but. not
withstanding all this. the Hoosiers were
not permitted to score.
There was not an inning during the en-
tire game that Indianapolis did not W.
from one to three men left on bases, and
this was owing to the puzzling work of
Amole, who put them over at critical
stages and the ball was sent to one of the
men in the field. The spirits of the fans
were raised frequently, and lowered just
as often when a hit failed to come at a
much needed time. Amole was especially
in preventing the Indians from
finding his curves when a hit would have
meant a run. Three hits were credited to
both teams. While Amole gave ten bases
on balls. which awaited nothing except anx-
iety for Indianapolis, Kellum passed but
one man. and he made the circuit. The
Hoosiers made but two errors, and they
aided in giving the Bisons their other run.
while Buffalo piled up three errors, and
they were not costly.
DID ANY OLD THING.
Several times the inielders of the visit
ing team booted and kicked the ball
around, but were lucky in handling 1t
quickly enough to throw out the runner.
Shearon. i'm right field, made runs that
would beat records and got under fly balls
that looked to be safe. Halligan, in left,
only had one chance offered him, and that
came in the ninth, when he got in front of
a line fly from Magoon's bat. Had the ball
gone safe the complexion of the score
would have been changed.
The home players all tried hard enough
to land a victory, but Dame Fortune smiled
upon the men from the shores of Lake Erie
and absolutely refused to even firt with
the Indians. To study the appended score
will satisfy any fan that fate, fortune and
luck were all with the Bisons. The playing
of both teams was fast. Carey at first for
Buffalo doing phenomenal work, and the
indianapolis helders doing fast playing.
Buffalo went TO bat first, and the side was
retired In one. two, three order. When
Hogriever drew a pass II was thought the
fun would start at once, but the enthusi-
asm was soon buried when Powers en-
deavored to sacrifice and put a fly ball in
Amole's hands. resulting in a double play.
Magoon then walked, as did also Seybold,
but Madison's hit to Atherton forced Sey-
bold out at second.
BUFFALO'S TALLY.
Buffalo made one in the second. Kellum
gave Atherton four wide ones and sent him
shoot, sending 1t to right, which placed
Atherton on third. Then Carey hit to Ma
COON, and while Schrecongost was being
put out at second Anterior crossed the
plate with a tally. Mailman forced Carey,
and when Mailman tried to pilfer second
Powers threw him out. Kelly raised the
hopes again in the second by hitting for a
base. Heydon attempted to sacrifice. and
Kelly was caught at second. Hickey
walked, but Kellum went out. Hogriever
drew another pass. filling the bases. Pow
ers was anxious to bring In a run or two,
and did not wait for a good one. He bat
ted the ball to Mailman. and Hogriever was
forced at second. In the third, after two
Hoosiers had been retired, Madison singled,
but kelly's foul out retired the side.
The fourth witnessed another grand op-
portunity TO score, as Heydon hunted to
who fumbled the ball. Hickey was

Hogriever flew out and Powers famed the

came in the fifth. Carey hit one to Madi-
son, who made a wild throw TO first, allow
ing Carey to go TO second. He played on
the base, coaxing a throw from Kelly, and
the latter threw wildly to third, flowing
the runner to advance to that base. Hall

riever got under. but Carey scored on the
out. After that the visitors were retired
in one, two. three order, except in the
eighth inning, when Amole made a two
base hit which did not result in a run.
THE HOLSTERS DIED.
In the meantime the Hoosiers continued
to get men on the bases who died before
they could score. In the fifth Magoon, the
first man up. walked. but Seybold's hit to
Mailman resulted IN a fast double play.
Madison then walked. but Kelly dropped
one in front of the plate and was thrown
out. The sixth and seventh Witnessed one

by decorating the atmosphere, and then
Amole gave Heydon q base on balls.
Hickey hit to Hallman, who juggled the
ball for an instant. giving Heydon a chance
TO reach second. but he recovered IL in
time to throw Hickey out at first. kellum

throw to first. Hogriever hit one full on
the seam. but Shearon gos under IT.
The ninth then came, and Powers, who
was the first man up. swung on the ball
with all his strength. rending IL TO right
center for three bases. The fans arose en-
masse and tested their lungs, as the fears
OF a shutout were driven away tenn
porarily. But they gradually returned when
Iialligan got in front of Magoon's hard
drive and Seybold went out from third TO
