No coloring matter was used in the oleo-
marearine thai made Spike" Shannon's
hands slippery In the last Of the ninth in
ming Of the second game with St. Paul yes
terday afternoon. His butter fingers made
1t possible for indianapolis to capture the
second battle and prevent the st. Paul ag-
gregation from carrying of two games, as
the Saints won the first contest without
much effort. III results Of the afternoons
sport were 5 to in favor of st. Paul and
i 10 7 In favor Of Indianapolis.
The finale of the last game was more SEN
sational than the climax OF the most thrill
Ing melodrama ever written. TIL score was
Z TO in favor OF ST. Paul when the Hoosiers
went to bat In the last half of the ninth
round. The spectators. slightly Disguised
because the visitors had taken the nrst
contest, began TO leave the park, as they
thought the Saints would make 1t a double
victory. Fox started the last round by Sc
curing a scratch single, the ball carominS
on Stewards leg. Hogriever placed a punt
to short. Fox stole second. The crowd
looked upon Heydon as the man to drive
Fox home with the tying run, but Heydon
waited and drew transportation to nrst.
Coulter bounded an easy one down the nrst
base line. which Stewart failed to get. and
the bags were filled with bowling boosters
waiting TO be sept around the circuit. Mar
can went to bat, and his little frame seemed
10 CULVER under the heavy responsibility
that rested upon his shoulders. He picked
out an lnshoot and met IL squarely.
The ball went straight toward center
feld and Shannon got IN its path. There
seemed to be no doubt of the centerielder
squeezing the ball and the crowd made a
rush toward the gates. Shannon got In
front of the sphere. 1t went directly into
his hands, but he dropped the horsehide to
the ground, while Fox and Heydon pranced
home with the runs that won the game.
The first contest was won by the Saints
by . lucky bunch OF hitting in the ninth
inning, when they scored three runs and
made the contest safe.
KELLUM'S BIG TASK.
William Kelium undertook a task that is
accomplished by few pitchers during a sea-
uon- He desired to pitch both contests and
Manage Watkins gave his consent. The
visitors had such a picnic with Kellum's
curves in the ninth inning of the first en-
gaeement the spectators did not take kind
~ to Watty's ideas of kellum being sent
TO the slab for the second game. The
Saints were full of confidence in the early
part OF the second battle and piled up six
runs In the first three innings before Kel-
lum succeeded in casting his anchor. Then
Kellum settled and the Hoosiers engaged
In a little bombardment. Manager Kelley
substituted Stewart for Allemang in the
eighth inning and Kellum was relieved by
NewIin in the ninth. The Hoosiers mace a
game uphill fight against the overwhelming
odds and won
~ Ac4NAi6 at OctL 8dAucS was idSl, uOl-
w~ithstanding that several errors were
charged against both teams. Woodruf's
catch of Kelley's long fly in the second in
ming OF the first battle was sensational and
Marcan's one-hand catch of Geier's out that
retired the Saints in the last inning of the
nrst engagement, was brilliant. The Saints
contributed two double plays TO help de-
prive the Hoosiers of a chance TO win the
first game.
o'Brien was substituted for Hogrieyer at
Dat in the last inning Of the first game and
because he hit safely and scored a run ne
was sent TO short at the beginning of the
second battle. His fielding was so badly out
OF form in the first inning that Manager
Watkins sent Marcan TO short I'm the sec
ond inning and the little fielder did good
work: After the Hoosiers had become set
tied IN the second battle they contributed
several fast plays, while the work of the
Saints. up until the time that Shannon went
wrong. was clever.
SEEMED TO FEAR CHECH.
The Hoosiers seemed to fear Chech, who
was on the slab in the first game. They
played in half-hearted sort Of manner while
their willow work was far from being the
kind that would land them a victory. In
the first inning Fox reached first but was
caught OF the bag. Woodruff opened the
second with a single and was sacrificed Il
second- He was doubled on Coulter's fly Il
Higgins. kim singled in the fourth and
Fox walked. Hogrieyer sacrificed but Wood.
rum and Heydon were easy outs. A
double play deprived the Hoosiers of 3
chance In the sixth. Woodruff opened th,
seventh with q two-bagger, but the mex
three men struck out. The third strike caIlee
on Marcan, the last batter, was a trihe wild
but Haskell said the batter was out ane
that settled IL kim singled in the eighth
with tive out but Fox could not adyapc,
him.. Such was the story of the HOLSTERS
efforts to tally In the first eight innings.
The Saints were held safe for five in
