Columbus Could Not Bunch Hits on
SutthOn-LOuisvilIe Continues to
- Games.


George Hogriever walked to the plate in
the third inning of yesterdays game with
Columbus and smiled q tantalizing smile at
Pitcher Bailey. There are two of my
comrades on bases waiting for inducement
to trot to the rubber and you give me a
good one and I will be the George on the
spot" said he to Bailey. The good one
foated toward the plate and Hogriever
swung. There was a crack and the sphere
sailed TO center. Wagner ran up on the
ball but the horsehide struck a p~etrihed
clover leaf and bounded far over the cen
ter fielder's head, rolling nearly TO deep
center fence. Matthews and Sutthof car
ried in their TALES and Hogriever made the
entire circuit before the ball was felded to
the plate. Those three runs gave Indian
apolis a lead that Columbus could not over
come, and with the one made in the sew
enth the Hoosiers came out victorious with
a score of 4 to 5.
The contest was more exciting than the
one-sided affair played on Monday. Bril-
liant and fast fielding marked the support
afforded both pitchers. Coulter made the
only error charged against I~ndianapolis-a
bad muf that fortunately did no damage
10 the score. Viox was charged with CO.
lumbus's only error, a wild throw in the
fourth that did not figure in the run get
ting. Columbus Outbatted Indianapolis py
one safe hit. but the visitors were not as
fortunate in punching their safe ones or
having a home run 10 come at a time WHEN
two men were on bases. OBrlen ana FOX
did fast work at short and second and
Woodruff contributed a few sparkling plays
to add interest TO the contest.
Sutthoff twirled a good game ana was IN
the contest with his willow with a single
and a double. Hart played the best game
in the field for Columbus and accepted
eleven chances, many Of them being dill
cult TO knock down.
.HOOSIERS FRS TO SCORE
For two innings Pitcher Bailey had the
Hoosiers guessing. but Coulter opened the
third with a single TO left. Matthews at
tempted to sacrifice, but forced Coulter at
second. Suthoff hit to right for two bases,
advancing Matthews TO third, and then
Hogriever came to bat and made his lucky
home run drive, giving Indianapolis a lead
of three runs.
Columbus had been blanked and for four
innings the visitors failed to find Sutthoff
safely. In the fifth, with one out, e. FOX
made the first hit, but Bailey skipped a
fast one to Captain Fox. who gathered
il in, and, throwing to O'Brien, a double
play resulted. In the sixth inning Column
bus got in the contest with two tallies and
made the game a little more interesting.
Hart dropped one in left for a base and
Wagner coaxed free transportation to first.
Grim sacrificed and McFarlan hit down
the third base line out Of Woodruffs reach
for two bases, two men scoring. Sutthon
caused the next two men TO retire.
1t looked as If Columbus might tie the
score in the seventh, but Coulter's beauti-
full throw to third prevented 1t. With one
out G.. Fox singled and Bailey struck out.
Hart hit to left just out of Kuhn's path
and Coulter backed him up. Fox attempted
to make third, but he found Woodruff wait
ing for him with the ball, and the side was
retired.
In the last of the seventh indianapolis
added one, which proved to be the winning
tally. Coulter was hit and Matthews beat
out an infeld attempt. Sutthoff's single
scored Coulter and placed Matthews on
second. Grim gathered in a hard line drive
from Hogriever's bat, and Kuhns hit to
Turner, forcing Matthews. Woodruff
forced Kuhns at second. With two out
in the eighth McFarlan hit to left for three
bases and scored on Turner's single. Knoll
singled, sending Turner TO third, and a mo-
ment later Knoll pilfered second. Viox
flew to Coulter, retiring the side. Columbus
was easily retired in the ninth. The score:
