The Rev. Dr. Crabul, pitcher for the Co
ambus team, made many converts at the
zane between Indianapolis and the SEN
tors at Washington Park yesterday after
boon. his argument being a delivery that
was as puzzling as anything the Hoosiers
nave tried to solve in many moons He was
voted the star OF the contest, and IL was
bot his fault that Fox scored in the last in
hing. saving indianapolis the ignominy of a
hut-out- TIE final score resulted TO in
favor OF Columbus.
The Senator's made it two straight from
Indianapolis by delivering the goods"
Four little singles was the best the Hoos-
ers could register in the base-hit column.
md when Hoosier reached first a double
play would deprive him Of an opportunity
10 complete the circuit. Indianapolis play
PRS never had the sensation Of proceeding
rs far as second during the first eight in
hings, and they would never have known
what IL was TO cover all the bags had
Gleason made a good throw Of Fox's
chance IN the ninth.
The champions were defeated after the
hrst inning had been played and the at
empts TO break the hoodoo were as futile
as an effort would be to move the rock Of
foosiers were sadly in need Of longer and
much larger bats. but the rules strictly pro-
hibit them splicing barrels TO their willow
sticks in order to meet the curves that
Pitcher Crabill served.
WILLIAMS EASY IN FIRST
Tom Williams the slab for Indi-
bnapols and he was found often enough
n the first inning, combined with few
e~fxy he fos+n
he game. While only one error was chaIked
against the home players, and that did not
ngure in the general result. the Hoosiers
did not distinguish themselves with many
wide-awake or sensational plays in the
Held. Heydon's thinking machinery got
tlogged I'm the first inning. and as a result
Df slow play by him Columbus added one
more tally than the visitors were entitled
to- Jones clearly misjudged Arndt's long
fy TO left in the fifth and the attempt went
for home run. Tamsett's stop of Raw
liners effort I'm the fourth was the prettiest
piece OF fielding credited TO Indianapolis.
The support given Crabill was fast, three
double plays being made by the visitors.
Three errors were charged against the Sen
ators. enc of them coming in the first in
hing. and no damage was done, a double
play retired the side The other two, which
were Charged against Gleason. were made
1n the Flast Of the ninth and gave the
Coulter. OBrien, Kihm and Tamsett were
the only Indianapolis batters to secure hits.
Bannon, Arndt and Turner led the batting
for the visitors, each securing two safe
ones. Gleason. Raymer and Roach were
also able to register in the base-hit col
umn. After the first inning Williams pitched
good ball and Columbus should have been
blanked in the remainder of the game had
Jones got under Arndts long fly.
SENATORS FIRST TO BAT
AS Is customary when williams pitches
the opposing team went to bat first. Glea-
son opened by flying out to Jones. Bannon
singled to left and on a pretty hit and run
play Arndt hit to right, sending Bannon to
third. Turner's single to left scored Ban
non and sent Arndt to third. Turner taking
second on the throw to third Mellor hit to
kihm and Arndt was caught between third
and home. Turner went on to third and
when Heydon threw to second to catch
Mellor Turner scored. Thoney was hit and
Raymers single scored Mellor. Thoney
vas caught trying to make third on the
play.
After Hogriever went out in the last half
Fox reached first on Crabill's tumble
Heydon hit to Raymer and a double play
resulted- Roach opened the second with a
single. but the side was retired without a
run. Coulter fouled to Roach and o'Brien
s1ngied, but Jones hit to Turner and
c' Brien and Jones were doubled.
In the fifth. with two out, Arndt hit a
long fly to left, which Jones misjudged, and
Arndt made the circuit. In the last of the
sixth Tamsett singled. but -williams's effort
10 Raymer resulted In double play.
There was no more scoring until the last
of the ninth, when Fox hit to Gleason and
reached second on GIeason's wild throw
After Hayden went out Gleason made an
other error on Coulter's chance and Fox
trotted home with the only Indianapolis
run. O'Brfen few to center and the game
was over Score:
