The HOLSTERS contributed fitting finale
TO the last Kansas City series In TINS city
by shutting the Cowboys out by score or
TO o. IT was another one OF those Kno
of games where the score was in doubt
until the last man was out. The ninth in
ming Yesterday was a nerve wrecker, but
the Indians got out of il without suffering
any damage other than a little nervous
ness.
The visitors had been held down through
cut eight innings without getting man
across the plate. but things looked very
dubious for getting out of the game with
a shutout i'm the ninth. DUNCAN led OH
with a two base hit and Clingman drove
one to Magoon, who threw 10 Kelly, the
latter dropping the ball. Coughin then
hunted and Stimmel fumbled the ball, NIL
ing the bases. With no one out the bleach
critics settled back expecting TO see the
visitors indulge in some scoring. Schaefer
hit line drive into Hickeys hands and ne
threw 1t to Kelly, doubling Coughlin. HAD
Kelly thrown to second little quicker
there would have been a triple play, Dut
this was not needed as McManus rolled
one to Magoon and went out to first, and
the game was over.
Stimmel and Gibson were the opposing
twirlers. Gibson is the man who was
member of the Indianapolis team for few
hours and was traded to Cincinnati for
Geier Both men pitched good ball, Stim-
mel getting out of several bad holes by
clever work. His support was ragged at
times, but at the most critical stages the
men back of him played fast ball, prevent
ing the Blues from scoring. Magoon and
Hickey did wonderful work in the field.
Geier had three errors at short, but FORUM
ately they did not prove costly. There were
but two errors back of Gibson and one OF
them figured in the run getting for In
dianapolis.
Gibson was found for but six hits and
Hickey secured three of these. Hickeys
work was superb, as he batted In the first
two runs credited TO the Hoosiers and by
clever fielding aided in shutting the visitors
out.
The Blues were easily retired in the first
inning and while Hartsel led off with
single in the Hoosiers' half of the opening
inning he could not be sent around the
circuit. Magoon sacrificed him to second
and Geier struck out. Kelly waited and on
the fourth ball called on him Hartsel at
tempted To pilfer third and was thrown out.
1t was the first time this season that
batter was given a base on balls and yet
not get to touch first base.
But three men faced Stimmel in the Sec
end inning. and they We're easily put out.
Seybold opened the Indianapolis, half by
drawing pass to first. Powers attempted
to sacrifice and Schaefer fumbed the ball.
Hogrever advanced both men with pref

then came to bat and drove one to center
for base, scoring both men. Hickey stole
second, but Stimmel ended the inning by
tanning out. In the sixth Indianapolis
made one more. After Geier went out Kel-

across the plate when Seybold hit down
the third base line for single. Hickey
led off in the seventh inning with a two

next three men were easy victims.

came near scoring in the sixth, but the
runner was caught at the plate. The score:
