Cy Coulter was important factor in the
indianapolis victory yesterday afternoon.
1t was largely through his "Johnny-on-the-
spot" playing that the Hoosiers bagged the
game by a score of tc and made it three
straight from the Columbus aggregation
Coulter stood out in center during the early
part Of the conflict doing his usual prayer
full pose He looked like a bartender stand
ing before a cash register figuring out on
the keys the tune, 1T won't be long till
own this place" Cy was contemplating do
ing some great act to place Indianapolis to
the good and several times during the aft
ernoon's sport he contributed his mite and
in the ninth inning made the crowning ef-
fort by throwing to the plate on single
and catching McFarlan as he pranced in
hopeful of landing the tying run.
All of the Hoosiers figured in the game
as it required concentrated efforts to land
a victory. The Senators insisted on playing
the Hoosiers to a standstill, and had 1t not
been for the four runs secured in the first
two innings there might be sad story to
relate. After the first two frames Bailey
settled down to business and he gave the
HOOsiers everything on the menu and they
could do nothing in the safe hit line. The
four runs were sufficient, however, to carry
Indianapolis TO the safe side. Two OF the
three runs made by the visitors were gifts
and in the ninth it looked as If Columbus
might force another one of those ten-innlng
affairs or win the game, but Coulter was
right on hand with a beautiful throw and
with a good catch that retired the side.
Williams did the slab work for Indian
apolis and only half dozen hits were reg
istered off him, three of them coming In the
inning without a
cult His literally in two innings aided the
visitors in getting figures other then clpneIs
on the score board. More errors were maze
in the game by Indianapolis than nave
been charged against the Hoosiers FOR sew
eral days and most of them were costly.
HART DREW A PASS.
Williams started hostilities in the first
inning by issuing a pass to Hart. Belden
advanced him to second, and McFarlan' S
hit placed him at the third corner. Turner
flew to Hogriever, who made good throw
to the plate, but Heydon allowed the ball
to carom off his shins and Hart trotted
home. Viox's fly to Fox retired the side.
Bailey tossed an inshoot to Hogriever. who
met it full on the seam, and the ball took
the lirnited TO left field for three bases.
Fox followed with a single and Coulter
dropped one to Bailey, Hopke dropping the
thrown ball at second. Grim's punky hit
ruffs out to McFarlan.
Clever fielding by Fox and a strike out
retired the visitors in the second, but Indi-
annapolis added two In the last of the inning.
Williams and Hogriever were easily retired.
but Fox drew pass and Coulter laced one
to right for three bases making the fourth
lap on Beldens wild throw TO the plate.
In two innings after that the Hoosiers
secured safe hts, but not another man
made the circuit.
Columbus added one in the fourth. Nc
Farlan flew to Coulter, but Turner hit
safely and pilfered second. After Viox flew
to Coulter, Knoll beat out an infeld hit,
and while Grim wrangled over the decision
