The attendance at Washington Park this
afternoon and tomorrow afternoon should
equal holiday crowds, the finishing
games of the season on the home grounds
will be played between Indianapolis and

ing the race, and as to-day and tomorrow
will be the last opportunities. the seating
capacity at the park Will be taxed both
days. There will be double-headers both
this afternoon and tomorrow, and to-day
is ladies' day, which will swell the attend
ance.

back in the game by taking three straight
from Kansas City, and they will go into
the games to-day determined to win. Wat
kinss men have been greatly encouraged
lately, and they are putting up fast ball

very exciting, and by taking a majority
Of the games from Chicago, Indianapolis
will have a fighting chance for second
and even for first place. The first game
this afternoon will be called at 2 o'clock
and the second within ten minutes after
the conclusion of the first game. Gardiner
will pitch the first game and Kellum will
try his hand against the Chicagoes in the

away with the dissension among many OF
the bowlers experienced last season. The
rules last year provided for five-men teams.

three games. causing other bowlers 10 sit

This season each club Will bowl ten men

used each night. After the season has been
opened IL is probable that the rule will be
amended that the bowlers composing
the first division teams OF each club viii

among the men as well as the teams. The
six games would continue 20 be counted In

But two safe hits were made off Slim
MEL He had the Blues at his mercy.
Milligan and Barnes will likely pitch the
two games against Chicago to-day.
Stimmel fielded his position well yester-
day. covering first twice on hits TO Kelly.
Geier's fielding erratic, but while he
made three errors he accepted two chances
that helped save the game.
Magoon's fielding was again sensational
This is nearly an everyday occurrence
for the indianapolis second baseman.
Milwaukee and Cleveland split even yes
terday. BY Cleveland taking one Of the
games the Hoosiers gain few points.
Indianapolis got out of the ninth inning
very luckily. With the bases full and no
outs the Blues were retired without a run.
Gibson is somewhat of pitcher, and but
for bases on balls yesterday the score
would have been closer Not a single
earned run was made off him.
Four games in two days with the leaders
will attract large crowds The banner at
tendance of the season will no doubt be
registered to-day and tomorrow.
Hickeys stick work won another game
for Indianapolis yesterday. He had a
thousand per cent. both in fielding and bat
ting, making three hits out of three times
at bat, and accepting eight chances without
an error.
