HOGRIEVER TURNS \ SOAIERSAULT.
OF all the sensational catches that have
been made at Washington Park George
Hogriever carried of the prize yesterday.
1t was even said after his wonderful per-
Torrance that ne spends part of his winter
days in Wisconsin turning somersaults.
He must have had great training in this
line. for In the eighth inning he came in
from deep right after line drive by Nc
Bride and gathered in the ball by making
q long dive for IL. As soon as the ball
struck his glove he squeezed it, and then.
oucking his head did sOmersault in
tufnDle-bug fashion, coming upon his feet
like a human rubber ball. And HOgriever
did not drop the ball during his twisting
Journey over the damp sward. That was
not the only clever piece of work displayed
by him. for in the second inning he made
throw 20 first. cutting off -unner, and
also made good catch In the fourth. In
the second game a remarkable catch and
great throw To- first prevented the Brewers
from adding "a tally.

HERMAN WAS NOT TRICKY.
Herman. who is not to be confused with
the prestidisitator OF similar name, was
given the assignment TO NOW down the In
dianapolis men. For three innings he was
fairly successful. but in the fourth he lost
his cunning and his tricks were exposed
What aided in his undOing was the misera-
