Tickle fortune is becoming constant and
true. The g1ddy goddess of luck has cast
her most bewtiching smiles on the Indi-
annapolis team of late and up TO date has
shown no signs Of coquetry. Let her con-
tinue to cast favor in the path OF the
Hoosier ball players and all will be well.
Things broke more than well for Indi-
annapolis yesterday, the Hoosiers winning
two from Toledo, while Louisville sue
cumbed to the Columbus team at Louis
vile. The first battle at Washington Park
was a go-as-you-please affair for Indi-
annapolis and the visitors were shut out
until the ninth inning. when they scored
! one run, the final score resulting 8 to l
IN favor OF Indianapolis 1t seemed to be
a f~Oregone conclusion that the Hoosiers
would also bag the second game, but when
Mock took his position on the slab for
Toledo there was some foreboding OF trou-
bic. for Mock enjoys the reputation Of hav-
ing twirled the Hoosiers around his fingers
on previous occasions and dropped them
TO the ground badly crestfallen. Indianapo-
lis secured a lead Of one run In the sec
ond game and plugged along trying to add
10 the score. but there was nothing doing
for several innings. neither was there any
tallying done by the visitors.
While Toledo was at the bat IN the
eighth inning Of the second contest the
score boy posted the figures on the board
showing that Louisville had fallen in de-
feat. The cheering was loud and long and
infused new life into the home players,
who went after the SECOND game TO make
It safe. Burns was perched on first, hav-
ing got there on a wild pitch on a third
strike, but Kleinow lined a hard one to
Fox. who gathered it in and doubled the
runner at first. retiring the side. The bril-
liant play increased the excitement and
some OF the fans became hysterical. The
Hoosiers thought the one run might not
be sufficient to carry them to victory. so
they went after Mock in the last half of
the eighth and batted in another brace OF
tallies and the score resulted 3 to o in the
HOLSTERS favor.
KILLEN AND KELLUM IN FORM.
Killen and KelIum, the Xxx off-arm
fwirIers. can assume most of the credit for
the double victory. They had a choice as
sCrtment of benders and slants that were
harder TO solve than yellow journal puzzles.
an6 their support was fast and clean, only
one error being charged against the Hoos-
iers in the first battle and two in the sec
ond. German, a name that is synonymous
with a favOrite beverage, furnished easy
curves in the first game, while Mock did the
twirling in the second game.
George Hogriever got on a rampage and
was put out of the second game after the
first inning The trouble started in the
first contest, when Hogriever was unsuc-
cessful in trying TO steal home with a tally.
his temper. Toward the close Of the con-
test be was on speaking terms with Has
keII, and everything seemed to be Jogging
along smoothly until HOgriever batted in
the first inning of the second game. He
sent a fly TO right field. which McNeal
gathered in just before it touched the
ground. HOgriever endeavored to persuade
Haskell that the ball had been caught on
q first bound, but the official would not
listen and HOgriever used some unkind
words that caused the umpire To order him
out OF the game. Hogriever went TO right
neld and picked up the glove worn by Nc
Neal IL looked like a big sack OF meal.
but Haskell measured it with his finger tips
and said IL was not too large. After Hog
riever was sent to the bench Woodruff
moved over TO right neld and kim went
10 left.
BOW IRIS VAS WON.
There were many exciting incidents dur
Ing the first game, but the crowd did not
warm UP 10 the spirit of the contest. as
Toledo did not make it exciting for the
Hoosiers. Killen was as steady as the
rock OF Gibraltar. and it was not until the
ninth inning that the visitors found him
FOR more than one hit and in that inning
a double and single scored their only run.
With two out in the first inning, Turner
singled and Grim juggled Grafius's hit,
but Gilks few TO Woodruff. Hogriever
opened the indianapolis half by drawing

fee. Coulter lacerated the atmosphere and
Grim flew TO Gilks. one hit was made off
hllen in the second inning, but there was
no further damage. After two went out,
kuhns singled and stole second. but Hey
don went out on an infield effort.
The third opened for Toledo by Killen
passing Burns and KleinOw sacrificed. but
the next two men were easily retired.
killen desired TO start the first trouble and
he shipped a single 10 center, Hogriever
sacrificing him 10 second. FOx's out placed
kilen on third and Coulter drove one to
the right field fence for two bases. This
was followed by a three-bagger 10 left by
Grim. OfBrien made the third out by ny-
