The Dayton team possessed a thoroughly
developed case of stage fright in yester-
days game at Washington Park and the
Old Soldiers dished up about the worst lot
Of errors and schoolboy plays witnessed in
indianapolis for many seasons. They started
out to wrangle with the umpire again and
between wrangles they made errors and
went to sleep. allowing indianapolis to
carry off a victory by a score of 10 to l.
making il three straight from the Daytons.
The effort Of Cawley to do a job Of back
stopping was painful and at times really
pathetic. for he meant well. A glance at
the number of stolen bases will show how
kindly the Indianapolis players treated
Cawley's bad arm and his slowness in
throwing TO bases. When a Hoosler was
perched on first and started for second
Cawley would do d Turkish twist and the
ball would land in center field. He was so
bad that Manager Armour gave him a
seat on the bench at the end of the fifth
inning and told him he might play specta-
tor the remainder of the gene while Smink
wore the mask.
DURHAM WAS WILD.
Durham was on the slab seven innings
for Dayton. He Is a big, healthy-looking
fellow and may develop INTO a twirler some
cay. He was wild in the early innings, but
later, when he began TO put them over, the
Hoosiers batted the sphere to all corners
OF the big lot. He seemed to. take the mat
ter TO heart, for his face flushed and he
showed a desire TO go to the bench. The
man that relieved him in the eighth inning
Is named C~oggsWell.< There may not be any
thing In a name and II may be very far
fetched to Try To make a joke of the mat
ter, but his work surely showed how well
his cogs got mixed. He is big enough to go
to work should he not succeed in baseball
and therefore he shouldn't worry. He has
hair about the color of "Zaza's. and his
curves are as bad. When he went to the
slab the men behind him grew worse and
Juggled and booted the ball in a dishearten-
ing manner. Five runs were scored by the
Hoosiers the inning Coggswell was in the
box.
While there is nothing real good that
can be said about Dayton the Hoosiers put
up a game that was good for the old criti-
cal fans TO see. They fielded and batted
we'll and run the bases like a lot of deer.
FoX's work was very fattering. while Bev
easily carried off the hOnors for the crowd.
In the second inning he made a sensational
catch OF MIller's fly to short right center,
turning a somersault after squeezing the
sphere, and got up i'm time 60 throw to
nelly. doubling Meyers at first. Heydon
and Flynn also participated i'm a fast
double play and the game ended with a fast
double by Flynn and Kelly. The only bad
th1ng about the contest outside of the door
exhibition given by Dayton was a couple
OF bad decisions by Mullane. especially
the one on HoSriever at the plate in the
third inning.
SUTTHOFF"S PITCHING.
Sutthoff pitched a good game and i'm but
one inning did the visitors bunch hits off
him and that was in the third when
Wheeler hit for three bases, followed by
singles by Durham and Donnelly. giving
the Old Soldiers their only tally. Indian
apolis scored first In the second inning
when Fox beat out an infield hit and stole
second. Cawley threw into center field and
Fox proceeded 20 third. lie scored on
fiynn's out. a base on balls to Heydon i'm
the sixth. followed by FoN's hit toward
Meyers when he beat the first baseman tn
the initial bag. and Flynn's single gave
indianapolis another tally. The real dam
age started I'm the seventh. Hogr,ever
singled and went to third on Bey's safe
drive to left. Hogriever scored on Shar-
mons fly out and Bey stole second. Kelly
hit to Burns and Bey started for third
never stopping until he crossed the plate
while the Dayton team put out Kelly
Heydon then made a triple and scored ON
Gochnaurs error.
Hickey led off in the eighth by drawing
a pass TO first. Sutthoff singled. sending
Hickey TO third and the latter scored on
Hogriever's safe hit. Bcy singled and went
10 second later on a passed ball. Shannon
and Kelly went out. after which Smith
dropped a fly in center, letting In two more
runs.
The score:
