The last visit of the Milwaukee Brewers
to Indianapolis this season will be we'll re-
membered, as there were several things in
yesterdays two games that were well
stamped on the memory apparatus of the
fans. First of all Nick Altrock pitched
such good ball in the first battle that the
Hoosiers were unable to secure enough
runs to win, and the best Indianapolis could
do was to divide the spoils with the men
that tow schooners. AS a slight diversion
from other games a squad of the anvil
chorus sat on the right bleachers and
rooted for Milwaukee. This angered the
loyal rooters on the left bleachers, and a
battle of boots and yells between the two
factions was in progress nearly all of the
afternoon. Several hundred of the %rooters
attended the circus on Wednesday, and
they practiced the roar of the lions and the
believing of the other ferocious beasts
during the game until it sounded like the
yells that come from a circus tent about
the time the animals are fed. These yells
had little effect during the first game, but
in the second battle they frightened the
Milwaukee pitcher and the HoOsiers had
little trouble in taking a safe lead. Three
Milwaukee pitchers were on the slab in
the second ARRAY, but they were all treated
to bombardments.
There were enough sensational plays in
the two games to keep the crowd gasping
all afternoon. Woodruff played left and
Kuhns did business at the third sack. Ow-
ing TO a sore arm, Woodruff had to bat
with one hand and did not pad his batting
average very much. Kuhns gathered in
many difficult chances at third. Hogriever
had a brilliant day in right. Clingman
PLAYED "A nhpnOmenal game at short for
the visitors.
COULD NOT HIT OPPORTUNITY.
There were many times during the first
battle that Indianapolis could have forged
to the front with a hit, but the necessary
hit did not enter into the history of the
game. Williams pitched good ball, but
Altrock did a shade better. Kellum did
good bending business in the second game.
Elliott was the first twirler offered to In
dianapolis. and he lasted but two innings.
Barber was given a close shave and had
to retire In the fifth because he insisted on
swearing at Umpire Grim. Then Altrock
came in from left field and tried to fool the
Hoosiers. but failed. and indianapolis kept
plugging along until a total OF thirteen
runs had crossed the plate.
1t seemed like a hundred-to-One shot that
Indianapolis would bag the first game, as
the Hoosiers started off with a trio of tai

they made. Large ciphers were hung OppO-
site Indianapolis on the score board in the
remaining innings. On the other hand
Milwaukee got in the game In the second
inning with a brace of tallies and tied the
score in the fourth, and then made the
winning tally in the seventh.
HOW MILWAUKEE, WON.
Following Williams's peculiar supersti
tion the Hoosiers went to bat first anC
Hogriever coaxed a pass, reaching SECOND
on Fox's sacrifice. A passed ball advanced
Hogriever to third and Woodruff's polk,
to right scored him. Kihm placed a fly IL
right which Mailman muffed and a passed
ball advanced Woodruff and Kihm. O'Brier
drove one TO center for a base, scoring boil
men. Coulter forced O'Brien and Kuhn!
fouled out. There was nothing doing fl
the scoring line, for indianapolis, in tn,
second and third innings and in the fourtI
Altrock struck out the side. In the seventh
with one out, Heydon and Williams hi
safely, but the next two men famed. TIL,

Williams went out.
Milwaukee cut down the lead Of tn,
Hoosiers in the second inning by scorin,
