MINNEAPOLIS ninasa 81 20 81 .iss
For eleven innings yesterday afternoon
the Indianapolis and Buffalo ball players
carried on the ~fiercest war that has been
witnessed this season at Washington Park.
The Hoosiers came out victorious, but 1t
was not until two men were out in the
eleventh inning that the Indianapolis men
made the run which placed them In front.
Barnes and Hogriever went out and Hart
sci dumped one in the infield which he beat
TO first. He then grew desperate and pill
fered the second base. Geier came up and
sent one to right on which Hartsel crossed
the rubber and the battle was over, the
final score resulting 8 to 5 in favor of In
dianapolis.
During the eleven innings the loo fans
sweitered in the heat as it was only neces-
sary TO blink the eyes to cause a regular
Turkish bath perspiration to roll down the
cheeks of the enthusiasts. But during the
latter part of the game when a slight
breeze found it's way to comfort the fans
the rooters got in the game and wilted
collars through their efforts TO cheer the
Indians to victory.
The contest was replete with brilliant
and sensational plays, the members of both
teams contributing to the interesting work.
There was but one error charged in the
game and that was given to Magoon on a
play that was more or less excusable as
Magoon ran into right field after a fly ball
and Hogriever ran into him just as he
caught it, causing him to drop the sphere.
This occurred in the first of the tenth in
~t,c - IN lif 70 RIGHT md allowed
the runner to reach third from where he
scored on an infield hit by Carey.
DID BRILLIANT WORK.
Magoon more than retrieved the error by
his brilliant work. Seybold also came in for
a great share of the applause due to the
very sensational catches of fly balls in the
latter part of the game when the nerves
of the fans were keyed up to a high ten
sion. Barnes and Kelly covered themselves
with glory. in fact the work of the entire
Indianapolis team was as brilliant as a
cluster of diamonds beneath an electric
light.

work. Young Broderick, a new acquisition

his fielding was very sparkling.
The Bisons started off with a regular
stampede and before they could be con-
trolled in the first inning had found Dam
mann's curves often enoug to pile UP four
runs. 1t was then a fight to get even,
which was not accomplished until the fifth
inning. Immediately after the first inning
Dammann was sent to the stable and
Barnes was given an opportunity to pull
the Hoosiers up. or rather TO prevent the
Picnng from dining further damage. While
the remainder of the Hoosiers did their
share of the work toward getting on a par
with the visiting teams score. To Barnes
is due the largest share of the credit of
the victory. for he pitched magnificent ball
the remaining ten innings.
Hastings started the battle in the box for
Buffalo and because he showed a desire 10
cut loose from terra firma in the first in
ming Frank Foreman was substituted.
Foreman was cheered by his old Indian
apolis friends and he thanked them by
keeping them on a very uneasy seat dur
ing the contest. Gradually, but surely, the
lead of four held by the visitors was cut
down n loud and long was the applause
given the Hoosiers when the score was
finally tied.
The quartet of four made In a very short
time by Buffalo gave Foreman. who oc-
cupied a position on the coaching lines a
chance TO call out only too often a tally
for his team. Halligan, the first man up,
was passed to first and Gettman's safe hit
a moment later placed him on third. Then
Shearon dropped one In the infield, which
he beat to the initial bag and the bases
were filled. Schreckengost minimiZed the
prospects of winning by driving the ball
across the rubber. Carey kindly flew out,
but Mailman came up and singled, scoring
Shearon and placing Schreckengost on
third. Spear went out to Kelly, allowing
Schreckengost to cross the plate. Broderick
flew to Hogrieyer and the disastrous first
inning became a matter of history.
WITHOUT A SCORE.
-Four Hoosiers reached first in the last
half of the first inning, but the side was
retired without one of them scoring. The
changes in the pitching forces were than
made and Barnes sent the first three Bisons
cut in easy order. The Indians secured one
tally in their half of the inning. Madison
drew a pass and Kelly's out sent him to
second. Barnes helped matters along with
a single. scoring his captain. Hogriever
heat out a hit TO the infield and Hartsel
drove one toward left, which looked safe.

The score was tied in the fifth. After
Geier and Seybold went out Magoon hit

sent him the rest of the way around the
circuit.
