The Indianapolis champions labor under
the impression that they would not show
proper respect for the clergy II they were
TO have fun with the delivery Of the Rev.
Dr. Crabill, chief twirler OF the Columbus
team. The other day they refused to con-
meet safely with his delivery and again
yesterday they did not believe in clustering
their safe ones at times when they would
do the most good. AS result the rams
saw Indianapolis lose the last game OF the
series to Columbus by a score of TO 8. IL
was the last contest In Indianapolis untii
July g. and the Hoosiers were due for VIC
tory to even matters for the ruling made
by President Hickey. but fate was against
the Hoosiers.
The Hoosiers outbatted the Senators and
outplayed them In the field. but through
lucky turn OF circumstances the errors
made by the visitors did not cost victory
and hits secured by Columbus came at
times when they caused disaster to the
Hoosiers' chances to bag a game.
Ford started to do the twirling for the
home team. He got through the first I'M
ming all right, but In the second he became
ill and his curves were as easily solved as
the simplest problem in addition. He was
so dizzy after the inning that he was not
able TO go TO bat and Manager Watkins
substituted Kellum at the bat After the
inning Newlin was sent to the slab and his
wildness in the third helped Columbus to
cinch the game.
The work OF Narcan at short was again
a. feature of the game. He played bril-
liant ball in the field and his stick work
was above the average. Woodruff did the
backstop work and he did 1t well. He scored
two of the runs credited to indianapolis
anu his willow work helped TO give Indian
apolis a showing. In the last inning, with
the bases filled, he drove a long fly to CEN
ter, but Bannon was playing a deep field
and got under the ball.

son, and a sacrifice advanced the runner to
