One tally was all the Kansas City team
could carry away from Washington Park
yesterday afternoon in the double-header
with Indianapolis. A combination was
played against the visitors that completed
the sweet work OF revenge and the Hoosiers
bagged both games by scores of TO and
. 10 0. The last game OF the last series
with Kansas City surely ended in blaze
OF glory and the fans we're wishing that
Gears outfit could stay here awhile long
Of so that Indianapolis could keep padding
the game-won column. The threatening
weather probably kept a large number OF
people away from the park. but the 1900
fans who took chances with the weather
had things coming their way all afternoon.
They witnessed the double defeat of the
team that dislodged indianapolis from first
place in Kansas City early last week; they
saw Suthoff and Kellum pitch wonderful
ball; they witnessed the downfall of Glib
son and reIished the manner in which
Wolfe was given his bumps" they saw
the Hoosiers do phenomenal fielding, with
kuhns leading the red fire work with
one-hand catch in left; they saw Orville
Woodruff blush when he was presented
with $50 check from Watkins and Rus
chaupt as a wedding gift and also saw the
little third baseman give a full value re-
ceived for the compliment: they saw
O'Brien jolly Thiel IN the second game.

low errors. The crowd so much for
their money that it was like looking at
three-ring circus-there were so many
things that all can't be mentioned.
The Hoosers were right in the game,
and always ready to take advantage OF
the slightest grogginess that was shown
on the part of the visitors. They afford
ed excellent support TO the two pitchers
SuthOn and Kellum-and made nearly all
of their hits figure in the getting.
After winning the first battle the home
players felt no terror when Wolfe was
stumbling block for Indianapolis, but the
- HOOsiers have learned TO hurdle his puz-
hing curves, and can get away with
game when he pitches about easily as
they can against any other twirler.
TRIPLES IN FIRST GAME.
With the exception of two wild throws
by Beville in the first game the support
given Gibson was perfect. He allowed the
Hoosiers only six hits, but four OF them
were triples and so arranged that they cut
quite large figure in the result OF the
contest. SutthOff pitched wonderful ball in
the first half of the afternoons entertain
ment and but three hits were made off his
delivery. Surthon always was unfortunate
when giving free tickets TO first, and one
OF his passes gave the visitors their only
tally.
