The aggregation OF ball players who are
making a fight for the pennant for Indian
apolis played in anything but champion
ship form in the game against Milwaukee
yesterday and the nine members Of the
Brewers union tackled up a score Of IL TO
4 in Milwaukee's favor at the conclusion
OF the contest. Something was wofully
wrong with the indianapolis team. The
Hoosiers played in hard luck at times, made
disastrous errors, Kinen was hit when hits
meant runs and indianapolis failed to swat
the ball safely when men were on the
bases. O'Brien had a very bad day and his
record was clouded with five errors that
were distasteful 10 the fans. 1t was ladies'
day and several hundred Of the fair sex
pouted and worried because indianapolis
could not get in the lead and hold it
throughout the game.
Manager Watkins sent a crippled team to
the field. Woodruff was still lame from an
Injury he received in the exhibition game
at Anderson and this necessitated playing
Kuhns at third. Mccormick. of the Indian
apclis Reserves. was secured to watch the
left garden. He failed TO have a chance,
and also failed to locate the ball when at
bat. Fox was injured in the third inning
and later retired from the game. McCor-
mick was sent to second and Kellum TO
left. In the eighth Williams was sent to
bat In place OF Mccormick. and during the
zen ainder of the game Hogriever played
second and Williams covered right. Such
g general shifting of positions. together
with misplays and hard luck and Hayden's
ma ked ability in getting tangled with a
batted ball in the eighth, kept Indianapolis
from doing much toward getting close to
M~ilvaukee's big lead.
BREWERS ERRORS NOT COSTLY.
The Brewers had three errors charged
against them but they were discounted by
the misplays of the HOLSTERS, and the Wis
itor5 played such fast ball their errors
cat little figure in the general result. Kill
len was pitted against McMackin and the
latter had the better of it. as Killen was
hit when men were on bases waiting for
encouragement 10 reach home.
The Brewers took the lead i'm the third
inning by scoring a brace OF tallles and
after that had little difficulty in adding to
their score. Kil;en got out of a bad hole
in the first inning when Milwaukee came
near getting into the scoring business and
the second also Witnessed trying times.
