DETROIT, May 5.-For three innings the
game this afternoon was interesting on &C
count of the score. The visitors made two
runs in the first inning and were tied in
the second. The third was blank, but In
the fourth the men from Indianapolis gath
cred block of three, duplicated the feat
in the fifth, added another trio of runs to
the score in the sixth, sent one man around
in the seventh, took a rest in the eighth
and wound up with two in the ninth. In
ability to locate the plate on the part of
both Miller and Frisk had more to do with
the loss of the game than did the misplays.
but between the combination the damage
was done. All this time Kelum was pitch
ing good ball, his steadiness offsetting the
misplays that were made behind him.
Miller pitched five innings. gave six bases
on balls and four of the men thus favored
made their way around the circuit Then
Frisk tried his hand allowing five passes
in four innings, three of the men who were
recipients of the gifts being unkind enough
to take advantage of the situation and
register at the plate. 1t seemed as though
every time the pitcher went wrong some
member of the team felt it was up to him
to boot a single into extra bases or make
a mess of an easy chance for an out.
Taking advantage of the general de-
moralization, the visitors ran wild on the
bases, taking two sacks on an inheld out
and two bases on a single to the outfeld
with a regularity that was astonishing.
They did some dumb work on the bases and
made some miserable plays as well, but
they could not quite tie the home team in
this respect, and the handicap imposed by
the gifts of the pitchers put Detroit en-
tirely out of the running after the third
inning. Redeeming features cropped out
occasionally, and chief among them was
the work of Sullivan at third base. Elber-
field also did some brilliant fielding, while
McAllister acted as though he never knew
any other position than second base, he
played particularly strong game.
Hartsell played a wonderful game in left
field, pulling down seven drives, not one
of which could be called easy, while big
Seybold demonstrated that he is anything
but slow in the outfield. Kelly and Madi-
son led with the stick, the first baseman
making three clean hits and giving Harley
a chase the other time up. Score:

There IL Already Much Interest I'm the
Annual Event.

The Decoration day road race, to be
given in Indianapolis this year, will be the
most pretentious event of the kind ever
held In Indiana The bicycle dealers have
entered into the spirit of the scheme and
prize list large enough to attract many
outside riders has been prepared and in
the neighborhood of fifteen wheels will be
hung UP as prizes besides many other at
tractive articles. The course this year will
cover twenty-five miles and this will give
the best riders a more equal chance of
showing their endurance. Heretofore I'M
known riders. after having been given a
big handicap, covered the distance over
q short course before the best riders could
overtake them. With course covering
twenty-five miles it is believed all will
have a more equal chance. The start and
finish will be on the Business Mems Driv-
have an opportunity of seeing the riders
get away and make the final squirt for
the tape.
There is little dissension among few
of the riders and one or two of the dealers
regarding the manner in which some Of
the prizes are offered for this race. 1t
Is claimed that several of the dealers, who
have hung up bicycles sold by them for
the winners. have more less of string
to the prizes and make IL necessary for a
rider TO ride a certain make wheel before
they viii be eligible to win one of the
bicycles. The riders claim this Is unfair.
and say that in case they should ride a
hanging up bicycles as prizes they will
not be eligible to win one of the prizes
with string to 1t even If they cross the
tape first.
