Hoosicrs Had Little Trouble
the First Game-LOuisviIIe Won
~TwO-Other Scores.


A fly TO short right field and a beautiful
throw by Dougherty deprived indianapolis
of a chance OF bagging the second game Of
the double-header with St. Paul yesterday
afternoon in the last Of the ninth inning.
The first contest was a walk-away for the
HoOsiers and was won by a score of s to /,
but the second affair OF the afternoon
furnished a different story. The two teams
were tied when indianapolis went to bat in
the last OF the ninth. kim went out on
a line fly TO Marcan and O'Brien beat out
an infeid hit. Grim shipped a single to
center and Shannon fUmbled the ball.
allowing O'Brien to proceed 20 third. -Four
thousand people pulled for Kuhns to con-
meet safely or to furnish some sort Of in
ducement by which O'Brien could finish the
last quarter of the circuit and give Indian
apoiis the winning run. The left-feld
bleachers swarmed on the field, for with
cnly one out, ii looked like a cinch that In
dianapolis would score the winning run.
The crowd formed itself into an Il" and
this evidently meant the game was lost.
Three balls and two strikes were called on
Kuhns and then he swung v%iciously, but
only succeeded in sending a fly to short
right. DOugherty got under the ball, while
O'Brien returned TO third and started home
as soon as the ball was caught. Dougherty
made a beautiful throw 10 the plate and
OtBrien was tagged.
With that chance lost to make a double
victory the game went ten innings. Marcan,
the first batter W for st. Paul. drove a
single to center and the crowd became
fdgety. Chech attempted TO sacrifice and
O'Brien dropped the ball when Kellum
threw to catch Marcan at second. The
error was eXcuSable, as MaTCan ran into
OBrien. Matthews became dopey and al
lowed Marcan to steal third while he had
the ball. He made a wild throw 10 Kuhn
and Marcan trotted home. Chech reached
third on the error and scored on Geier's out
90 kim. With two out in the last Of the
tenth Hogriever and Fox hit safely. Coul-
Ter connected with the sphere, but Dough-
erty was in its path and the side was re-
tired. St. Paul winning by a score of A TO 2.
BATTING ORDER CHANGED.
There was a change in the batting order
of the HOOsiers, and it worked we'll in the
first game. The crowd could hardly realize
XIII was in left field. so strange and lone
some did he appear in the outgarden. Grim
was at first. and he honored the Indianap-
oils uniform he wore by playing good ball.
The Hoosiers played a fast. errorless game
in the first half of the afternoons sport,
the inield doing some clever work. Two
OF the errors I'm the second game were
costly and helped st. Paul TO gather in a
victory.

was assigned TO slab duty for St. Paul in
the nrst game. and eight of the nine hits
secured OF him came in two innings, when
indianapolis scored all OF their runs. Killen
did the bending work for indianapolis, and
he kept the hits we'll scattered. The sec
ond game found Kellum pitching for In
dianapolis and Chech doing the twirling
for St. Paul. Indianapolis secured one
more hit than the visitors, but the Saints
Were lucky in punching hits with the dis
astrOus errors charged against the Indian
apolis players. Tom Ramsey did the UNI

who witnessed the game. He gave Indian
apolis the worst of it on several occasions
and also handed a few bad decisions 70 st.
Paul.
St. Paul was the first TO score in the first
battle, the only run credited to the visitors
crossing the plate in the second inning,
when Dougherty hit TO left for two bases
and scored later on Pierce's single. After
that fast fielding and clever pitching kept
the Saints from sending any more runs
around the circuit.
