Ihe indianapolis team administered a
snutout to the Dayton team in the closing
game or the first series with the Old Sol
diers yesterday afternoon. the final score
being D to o. Only four Dayton men reached
the initial bag. and one of them was passed
by Stimmel But one old soldier planted
MS SHOES on the second bag. and he did
not proceed farther. The work of the
Indianapolis players was too fast to permit
the visitors 10 come near scoring.
1t was the fastest game played in In
dianapolls this season, even Dayton putting
up a scrappy game in the field as CON-
pared with the other three contests played
ny Armour's aggregation. The Hoosiers
played an errorless game. and the score
does not show several sensational plays
credited to Captain kelly's men. Two
errors were credited to Dayton. and they
we're made in one inning when the pace was
so warm they could not get out of the hole
without contributing a misplay.
BEY'S SENSATIONAL CATCH.
Bey was the star of the game. and his
work In center aroused great enthusiasm.
his star effort was made in the sixth in
ming. and but few plays have been wit
ressed in Indianapolis that would come
under the same class as the catch maue
by the little centerfielder. Coggswell lei
off in the inning with a safe hit and
reached second on Donnelly's out. Goch-
raur smashed the sphere, and it sped to
deep center. Bey was on the run with the
crack of the bat, but no one + eyed he
woulu set under the ball before it ended
its course in following the law of gravita-
ton. Bey did not get under the horsehide.
but he made a leap for ii and gathered IL
In with his right hand, squeezing 1t in his
fingers. C~oggswell had started to score,
tut he went back TO second. Bey recov-
ered himself quickly. but not in time TO
complete a double play. The catch was 50
I"hcnomen3l that Gochnaur stood on first
base for several moments. staring in the
direction OF the center garden, as if he could
not believe his eve when he saw Bey make
the circus catch.
Bey was not the only man to win laurels,
a, the entire team contributed brilliant
plays IN supporting Stunned. In the fifth
Inning Hickey MADE a One-hand stop OF a
T. st grOunder and threw the runner out at
first. Stimmel also knocked down three
vicious attempts and threw the batsmen
cut at first. Fox gathered in everything
that came in his direction. Heydon and
Kelly caught several high foul flies. Hey
con was the upper case type man with
the stick, and in the fourth inning he sent
one to deep right center for four bases,
scoring the first home run of the season.
He also HIT safely IN the eighth, scoring

Manager Armour utilized his Ohio fat
twins battery during the entire game.
Ccggswell did the twirling and Smink the
catching, and they were not so awfuliy
bad-they only looked a trihe ridiculous in
baseball uniforms owing to their broad-as-
long physiques. Coggswell was not hit
frequently, but the safe drives secured by
indianapolis were made at just the proper
time. Stimmel was on the rubber for In
dlanapolis, and he was very effective. The
Old Soldiers batted beautiful long flies,
but they could not poke the ball into safe
territory. Three hits were credited to the
visitors, and one of them was a scratch
iEfield attempt.
HOW THE RUNS SCORED.
The run-getting business was started by
Indianapolis i'm the third inning. Stimmel
started off by farming the breezes. after
which Eogriever hit to right field and
reached third. Bey drew a pass and stole
second. Smink made one of his bad at
tempts. and the ball went into center field,
Hogriever scoring and Bey going to third
Smith attempted to stop the flight OF the
ball. but the sphere fiirted with him ami
hcme on the error. In the fourth Heydon
made a home run, adding another tally.
one was added in the seventh. when Flynn
singled and stole second. Hickey sacri.
feed him TO third and Stimmel flew To
center. on which Flynn scored. The last
che was made in the eighth. Shannon sin
sled and went to second on a passed ball.
Kelly flew out and Heydon dumped one to-
ward second which he beat to first. Shan
non was on the run and did not stop until
he crossed the plate.
