STATE COLLEGE T. DID NOT GIVE
MUCH OF AN ARGUMENT.
Errors Saved Visitors from n Shut
for Big Opening with
Milwaukee on Wednesday,.

The baseball team from Indiana Univer-
sity met the Indianapolis team at Wash
ingtOn Park yesterday afternoon. The col
lege men did but little more than simply
furnish an opposing team for Watkins's
aggregation. as the score Of q 10 = viii
testify. The Indiana team is not well ball
anced. and the good work of a few Of the
men was more than Offset by the poor
playing OF the others. J. Boyle might have
pitched a good game for the Bloomington
squad, but his support was so ragged and
frayed that his efforts were handicapped.
Altogether fifteen hits were made of the
State University pitcher. part OF which
came after disastrous errors had been
made. Some OF the men on the Blooming
ton team have done well on the football
field. but as diamond stars they were not
a great success.
A tall, plump young man named Allen
succeeded Boyle after the seventh inning.
He had but one inning on the slab. and
that was plenty for him. He retired Wood
run and passed Williams and Fox. Hogrie-
yer sent one TO left for a base, and O'Brien
sent the sphere 10 the large alleged hand
painted likeness of Charles Major in deep
center for a home run. Thornton threw off
his cap and gaIloped after the sphere. but
did not field it in until OBrien had crossed
the plate and was walking leisurely toward
the bench. The smash worried Allen some
what. and two more singles were made off
his delivery, but he retired the side without
further damage
Williams was pitted against the collie
gians, and the only excuse the college men
had for scoring was careless fielding by
Babb. O'Brien and Hogriever. In the third

HOW RUNS SCORED.
After that the visiting team did not come
close to scoring. indianapolis started with
a trio in the first on a base on balls to
O'Brfen. McIntosh's error and hits by
Coulter and Kuhns. Two were added in the
second on a base on balls to Babb and hits
by Woodruff and Hogriever. Fox's single,
McIntOsh's error and singles by O'Brien
and kim scored three in the fourth. Six
were made in the fifth. Kuhns drew a
base. Babb and Woodruff singled and viii
liams hit for three bases. Fox went out
and HOgriever made a double, followed by
"A base on balls TO OBrien and COulter's
hard smash against the right field fence for
two bases. The three in the seventh were
the result Of Shaw's error, OBrien's single.
a base on balls to Coulter and Shaw's
error. Then came the eighth, as already
described.
Maug believed the score resulted &c 70 >
instead of p 10 2. This mistake was made
On not giving O'Brien credit with a tally I'm
the fourth inning. O'Brien was on third
and Kthm on first when there was one out.
Coulter hit to CleVenger and was thrown
out at first. O'Brien scoring. kim tried
10 make third on the play and was thrown
out. OfBrien's run counted because the
play on kim was not a forced one and
O'Brien had crossed the plate before Kihm
was put out at third.
