LOUISVILLE, Aug. 2S.-Over 5000 fans
witnessed the game between Indianapolis
and Louisville here this afternoon and
rarely has a game been played which fur
nished more excitement for both players
and spectators. The players were all on
edge. and each one was anxious to do his
best for his respective team. In conse-
quence, more or less nervousness was man.
Tested, particularly by the pitchers. and
neither Dunkle nor Kellum was up to his
usual form because Of this overanxiety TO
win. The visitors tied the score and got
one to the good In the sixth. and from that
time on the contest was red hot
Haskell made several decisions that were
obnoxious from a Louisville standpoint and
he was handled roughly by the players and
roasted by the spectators.
The game afforded a chance for the
'.rooters'' to get in their very best work
and they took advantage of it. One specta-
tor took a kodak SNAPSHOT of Haskell and
then stood I'D in the stand and announced
that he was ready to take orders for pic
lures OF the ''rottenest umpire on EARTH

OdweIi doubled TO left, stole third and
scored on a fly to the outfield- This neces-

single. a double by Schaub and a double
steal by Clymer and Odwen netted four
runs for the Colonies in this inning. Then
indianapolis came TO the bat and Hogriever
worked Dunkle until he got four balls
but was forced at second by Fox. Coulter
got hard rap with the ball over the kid
neys and fell like a log, but revived in a
few minutes and finished the game. Sue
cessive singles to center by Grim and
O'Brien scored both runners, the next two
men retiring the side.

but the Indianians were credited with a run
in their half that they did not deserve.
Coulter was on second and two were out
when WOODBURY. hit one 70 short. Clymer
threw the ball 10 first and Woodruff was
clearly out Camel rolled the ball across
the diamond and Coulter came in from
second. Haskell surprised everybody by
declaring Woodruff safe at first and the de-
cision almost resulted in riot. Camel
punched the umpire repeatedly with his fist
and the Louisville players generally jerked
him around until he scarcely knew what
had happened. Meantime the crowd was
shouting ''robber" and calling Haskell all
kinds of names The umpire finally ordered
Camel out OF the game and got out his
watch on the "ColOnels." This stopped
further kicking" and the game went on.
