running ten miles to leeward, FIVE minutes

Millers Fail to Hit Little Southpaw
and Indians Break Losing
Streak.
Stimmel Is Hit Hard at Times and
Receives Only Indifferent
Support.

The Indianapolis hoodoo has been
routed. For ten successive games the
shadow of defeat relentlessly pursued
Watkins tossers, but yesterday 1t was
different. Altho in bad physical condi-
ton, the Indianapolis representatives
started into yesterdays game prepared
to do or die. They did and the Yeager
tribe was the object Of their doing. They
started the process in the first inning and
did not conclude the operation until the
end of the ninth. incidentally, when the
smoke Of battle cleared. the boy at the
score board marked up seven for the
visitors and only a zero for the millers.
Southpaw Kellum was on the rubber
FOR the Posey county bunch, and thru
nine long innings he was master OF the
situation. Seven hits We're made Off his
delivery, and these he kept scattered In
such fashion that not one of the mill
ers ever had real good chance to cross
the plate According to the loudly ex-
pressed sentiments Of the fans, Umpire
Cunningham once or twice assisted Mr..
Kellum in his attempt to defeat the
Yeagerites, but at that the Indiana
twrler earned his victory.
For the home team Stimmel did the
center of the diamond honors, and with
more perfect support should have kept
the visitors score down to at least
three runs, those scored In the ninth in
Ming Oyler was missed at short in this
connection, and altho Dick Williams
played the position we'll Andy's vim and
go-after- everything style Of play was
lacking, and its absence initiated against
Minneapolis chances Of winning. -+
Watkins 'tossers started right In at the
beginning and in the initial round scored
one on two singles and a stolen base. One
more was added in the fifth, when base
on balls and two errors did the business
for the winners. The next addition came
In the sixth, when Cunningham did his
little stunt of calling a foul tip a strike
and letting Jones take first on it. The
decision raised storm Of criticism but
all to no avail, and Woodruff did not
seem to feel bit ashamed of taking
the money, but helped things along by
landing on the leather for two sacks,
after which Coulter swatted out a single
and two scored. With the game already
in their pocket the boosters took bat
ting streak in the ninth and a base on
balls followed by four consecutive singles
brought in three more runs
The home aggregation had ten men left
on bases and in several innings had
some slight chances to score, but it was
not to be. When the time came that a
hit was badly needed it was not forth
coming. Smith was the only man to get
credit for more than one single, and

FOUR MILES TOO FAR
cornell's Coach Says Distance Should Be
Shortened.

cornell's Coach Says Distance Should Be
Shortened.
Coach Courtney of Cornell is CT the
opinion that a four-mile course Is a trtfie
too long for college oarsInen to row in
a varsity race.
He claims that the question of suprem-
acy can just as easily be determined in a
three mile course, and the lesser distance
will not be half so hard on the crews. In
support Of his views he cites the fact
that, altho the crews in the recent regat-
ia at Poughkeepsie were trained to the
minute and all entered the race in the
finest possible condition, there We're a
large number of collapses at the end OF
the varsity four-nnile race while no one
collapse in the two mile races.
I'm all my experience" says Courtney.
II have yet to see a race where the crews
that won at four miles could not have
won as handily at the shorter distance.
1t is too much to ask college boys to row
over a four-mile course, especially at the
speed they have to row at present to win.
| It is too great physical strain, and In
my opinion is unnecessary. The majority
of varsity men will uphold my contention
and will state that it frequently requires
superhuman effort to win at four miles.
am in favor of and would like to see "a
strong agitation In favor of reducing the
varsity race from four to three miles.

Duke by the way was one of the greatest
pitchers, considering merely speed and
curves, that the country ever produced.
The writer has seen him make a batter
strike at a ball that went behind the
strikers back Once year perhaps, Duke
was nit hard. Usually, however. he was
invincible, or he was so wild that he was
relieved about the second or third inning
Given head like that of Charlie Nichols
or Hutchinson to help out his speed, and
Duke would have been the greatest pitcher
Of this or any other day.
Joe Kelley, the leader of the Cincinnati
reds, advocates school of baseball that
would teach players the rules. Kelly
said recently:
There are comparatively few players
who are at all conversant with the rules
of the game, and those that know any
thing of the rules are not on familiar
terms with all of them. I'll venture to
say that not one player in ten in either
National or the American League known
the rule that applies to the trapped ball
play--the rule which declares that in case
there is not more than one man out and
first and second, or first second and third
bases are occupied, batsman who hits
up a fly that can be handled by an in
fielder is out.
There are other rules that are as COM
plicated as this one that come up for APP
plication occasionally, and when they do
the players usually make mess Of it.
The majority of rules in baseball are very
simple, as they apply to the primary
plays of the game-the plays that the
small boy learns when he is INDUCING in
his first try at the sport on the lots or
In the streets The application of these
rules becomes natural, and there really
is no necessity for having them on the
| statutes. But in the matter of the inside
workings of the game even down tn the
| calling of balks, the positions OF the pitch
err and the catcher and the privileges Of
and penalties for the base runners, the
| vast majority Of players are exceedingly
green and do not know what their rights

as possible.
