Louisville Duplicated HOosiers'
Score-Other Games.


1t was quite a coincident for the In
dianapolis and Louisville teams to defeat
Toledo and Columbus respectively yester
day afternoon by the same scOres-5 to l.
1t would have been much more desirable
to have read on the score board that Louis
vile had lost, but the fortunes of war are
casting many favorable glances on the
team that is now leading the American
Association. There was something pleasing
about the Indianapolis victory, although
it was almost a cinch that the HOLSTERS
would win. The rapid work of the Hoosier
fielders elected much admiration, the home
boys putting up one of their favorite err
rorless battles and securing their hits just
at times when they were most needed. 1t
was ladies' day and late summer millinery
made the grand stand look like fairyland
The fair rooters did more applauding
than their companions. who put up the
plea that there was no use TO waste the
time roofing for a team that had the game
cinched. But the women thought other
wise-they had been admitted free and
were bound to give an account of them
selves, which they did in the early innings
when the Hoosiers went into the lead One
fair roOter with auburn hair and brown
cutters by the manner in which she root
ed for the indianapolis team. She began
applauding early in the conflict and when
Indianapolis was far in the lead she kept
up her applause. and after the game tolS
her friend that the indianapolis rooters
were slow to fall into line and help the
home players with encouraging applause
In this she was right, for the game after
the first inning became listless from a
spectators view point, and there was little
roofing.
The Mud Hens outbatted Indianapolis by
one hit, but Jack Sutthoff kept the safe
ones secured by the visitors we'll scattered.
and in only one inning did they cluster
enough hits together To send man around
the circuit. His support was of the our
nished gold variety and nothing resembling
error was charged against Indianap0-
lis. Hughey was on the mound for Tole 10,
and while he let the HoOsiers down with
only seven hits he was unable TO prev mt
the Hoosiers from making safe ones \ynen
hits were most needed.
COULTER AGAIN IN EVIDENCE.
Cy Coulter was again one of the large
propositions OF the game. There was
loud ripple OF applause every time that
Cy made a move. He began in the first
inning by making a single and added two
more hits during the remaining innings
besides getting under four difficult flies in
center garden. Fox was an impeachment to
many safe-looking drives. but as a hitter
he was a minus quantity in yesterdays
game. Hogrever was much in evidence
All Of the home players did something 10
help the good work along.
There was one hit credited to Toledo in
the first inning, but the man was caught
trying TO steal second and no runs resulted
Indianapolis made quick work of placing a
clasp on the victory by scoring three runs
in the first inning. HOgriever shipped a
single TO center, but Fox flew out TO
Turner. Coulter lifted one TO left for a
base. sending Hogriever 10 second. Grim
secured a bill of lading for a single. on
which HOgriever scored. OBrien fooled
one 10 Smith. who made a wild throw TO
first, Coulter scoring and Grim taking
third. Woodruff forced O'Brien at second,
on which Grim scored Woodruff was then
caught trying TO steal a bag.
After two men struck out in the third
Burns singled. followed by a safe one by
Klesnow. Coulter claimed he caught Klein
Ow's fly and walked 10 the diamond pro-
testing on the decision that he had scooped
the ball of the ground. Burns took the
ball from Coulter and threw IL into center
field. Burns then ran 10 the plate. but
