enced a little difficulty in determining
whether the umpire was Haskell or Val
Fahrbaoh. but after the point was definitely
settled that il was Haskell and not the
genial Elks' end man the spectators en-
tered into general discussion as to how
the umpire secured such beautiful Drown
face and neck He has had no time to bask
In the sunbeams at the seashore, and IL
seemed to be the consensus Of opinion that
ne secured his tanning from the roasting
given him by the Louisville rowdies. He
seemed to have more courage than he dis
played while officiating in Louisville and
his long-drawn-out "O-n-e BALI or
'O-n-e s-t-r-i-k-e," resembling the notes
that came from a kettle drum, furnished
amusement for the crowd. especially the
fair rOOters, as it was ladies' day. There
was little opportunity for roofing during
the contest, for Indianapolis took a COM
handing lead in the second inning, and the
final score resulted 4 to in favor of In
dianapolis.
George Hogriever increased interest in
the argument in the fifth inning when he
picked long fly from the chin whiskers
of the alleged likeness of Abraham Lin
coin painted on the right-field fence. Fox
tried to mar the advertisement with long
hit, but Hogriever bumped into the fence,
picked the ball off the boards and pro-
tected the picture. AS the crowd grew
restless and languid in the latter part OF
the contest O'Brien started an Outburst
of applause by making a sensational one
hand stop Of Belden's screaming bounder
and threw the runner out at first. other
plays of 1,OO0-candle power brilliancy were
made by the Hoosiers and at the finish the
score showed that perfect support had been
accorded Pitcher Killen.
The Columbus players were charged with
three misplays, but only one of them,
wild throw BY Hart. cut any figure In the
general result. The Hoosiers paid their
Compliments to Pitcher McMackin in the
first four innings and after that failed to
register safe one off the Columbus pitch
ers curves. Killen kept the visitors doing
guessing act for fve innings, but In the
sixth little cluster of three hits gave them
their only runs. The Senators started
trouble in the ninth, but the inning ended
in blaze of glory for Indianapolis. With
one out two singles were made, but fast
double play ended the conflict
The first two Columbus willow workers
to face Killen in the opening inning did
the palm-leaf act, never even grazing the
ball, but McFarlan cracked out a single.
The hit was waste, as Turner flew to
Hogriever. HOgriever failed TO make a
coupling and Fox went out on an infield
effort Coulter tore the top roof off
inshoot and caused the ball to go to third
by easy bounds. he beating the throw to
tagged at second.
HOLSTERS TAKE LEAD.
Three Columbus batters faced Killen in
the second and little pop-up flies placed
them out of the running. Grim opened
the second with bingle to left and O'Brien
shot one past the pitchers lot for hit
Woodruff rolled one toward first, advancing
both runners. McMackin was evidently
dizzy when he pitched the next ball, for

| 'Brien advancing to the third corner.
Kuhns bounded one TO Hart, who threw
wildly to the plate, O'Brien scoring Kuhns
kept up his journey and made a second lap
on the error. Heydon failed in his con-
nection, but Killen hoisted one over

and scored on Kuhnss out to Belden. Hey
