ahead in the second battle as to make vic
tory almost a certainty Kelly could not
keep quiet and began to argue with men
in the grand stand who fired several broad
sides at Geter because the latter had tried
to prevent Heydon catching foul ball.
All of Kelly's wrangling and efforts to
induce his men TO get into the game did
not affect the result and Indianapolis car

There was enough batting and close plays
in the first contest to put the crowd on
edge and when the ninth inning came and
Indianapolis was two runs TO the good the
Saints scored one and came so close to
tying the score that pulses beat at

aided Indianapolis to add additional tai
lies. The support given Sutthoff in the
early innings was spectacular and refresh
ing to the fans. Coulter made a phenom-
email catch in center by diving after
although he plowed up a few feet of sod
in his effort. He arose quickly and made
a beautiful throw to the plate, causing
Cogan to return to third. Heydon added
new laurels by taking in some difficult
fouls and Fox and O'Brien played fast
ball. In the eighth mess of mlsplays
