There was a large crowd at the ball game
yesterday afternoon, as visitors TO the city
preferred seeing the Indianapolis and Bur
falos teams battle for supremacy than
swelter in the heat at Military Park. The
PEOPLE were well repaid at the game for the
contest was full of batting from an Indian
apolis standpoint and the Hoosiers came
out victorious by score of IL to 3, making
IT, three straight from the Bisons
The batting of Magoon, Hartsel and
Kelly was plastered with the gold stand
ard while other members of the Indian
apolis team did stick work that was gilt
lined. Kerwin was the man who was given
such a drubbing by the beartless Indians
and his efforts to fool the Indianapolis bat
tiers with an alleged puzzling delivery were
very amusing. Then kerwin was given
poor support. which all added to the run
getting of the Hoosiers.
For indianapolis Gardner was on the
slab and the work behind him never for
one instant caused him to think of filing
proceedings for better support. His pitch
ing was bewildering to the Bisons and with
the exception of the third and last innings
In which Buffalo scored there were but two
other innings in which he was found safe
ly.
GOT TWO RUNS.
Indianapolis started in the first inning
with brace of runs and gradually in
creased the score until the Buffalo team
was too far behind to even think of win
ming. Indianapolis scored in every inning
but one and that was in the sixth, when
by mutual consent the Indians mopped off
their war paint and took a rest, but in
the seventh they again went on the war
path and began the tallying business.
The Buffaloes started off auspiciously In
the first inning, but their hopes were soon
blasted. Halligan caused a slight shiver
among the followers of the Indianapolis
team by locating the first ball pitched by
Gardner and sending 1t to right for two
bases. Gettman then drove one straight
into Madison's hands. and the Indianapolis
captain ran over and touched second base
completing a pretty double play. Shearon
was retired easily,
Carey was at third for the first three
innings for Buffalo, but his work was so
bad that a general change OF positions
occurred in the fourth. When Hogriever
sent an easy one to him in the first in
ming he threw il wildly TO first and Hog
riever perched on the initial bag. He re-
NAMED there but a short time, as wild
pitch allowed him TO proceed to second.
Then Hartsel sent one to Mailman, who
fumbled it in an awkward manner. Geier
went out, allowing Hartsel to go to sec
ond. Seybold drew pass, filling the bags.
MagoOn laced one to center for base,
sending HOgriever and HartSel across the
rubber. Madison and Powers were retired.
+ One was added in the second inning
when Kelly led of with a double and
Gardeners sacrifice landed him on third.
Hogriever few to left, on which Kelley
scored. Seybold was the first batter up
In the third inning and he hunted and beat
the ball to first, advancing to second on
Kerwin's wild throw to Schreckengost.
Magoon connected for three bases and
scored later on Madison's fly to Shearon.
MAGOON'S HOME RUN.
In the fourth Geier reached first on
Speer's wild throw. After Seybold had
cooled the atmosphere AROUND the batter's
box by tanning out Magoon hit for home
run. Hartsers four-base drive in the fifth
added another tally.
After resting in the sixth the Hoosiers
made one in the seventh on singles by KEEL
ly, Gardner and Hartsel. Seybold started
the eighth with a hit and went to second
on Halligan's tumble. Magoon went out
advancing Seybold. Madison hit to Hall
man and Seybold was caught at the plate.
Powers then drew a pass and Kelly and
Gardner singled, sending Madison and
Gardner across the plate.
The two runs made by Buffalo in the
third were the result of Speer'S single,
Broderick's sacrifice, Kerwin's double and
Halligan's single. Shearon's single and
Schreckengost's two-bagger gave Buffalo
the last one in the ninth. The score:
