Notwithstanding that Crowley pitched an
excellent article of ball against the st. Paul
team yesterday afternoon, in the last game
with the Saints, the Hoosiers went down in
defeat by a score of to i. The undoing of
the home team, the mixture Of hits and
errors that gave the visitors the game,
came in the first half of the sixth inning,
! when st. Paul scored a trio of tallies. The
lead secured by the Saints seemed to take
all the ginger out of the home players, and
during the last few innings they played a
~listless sort of game.
Shannon, who was kind enough in the
second game on Thursday to drop a fly bali,
permitting the Hoosiers to win, started the
sixth inning for the Saints with an un-
disputed single to left. Jackson bounded an
easy one 20 Fox, but the indianapolis cap
tain felt called upon to do a fancy dance
around the sphere while the runner reached
first. Schaefer went out and both men adj
vanced. Higgins shipped a hard drive
down the right field foul line for three
bases, scoring Shannon and Jackson. KEEL
ley hit an easy one to Tamsett, who threw
TO Heydon to catch Higgins. The runner
pranced up and down the base line for a
while. Heydon made a poor throw to Mar
can, and the latter went him one better and
made such a wild throw to the plate that
Higgins scored. In the meantime Kelley
advanced TO third. The next two men were
easily retired, but the damage had been
done.

runs. The Saints gave Stewart, who was
on the slab for them. beautiful support,
only one error being charged against them,
and that proved Of no penefit to the Hoo
siers. The two errors made by the Hoosiers
came at a time when they were the most
costly and figured in the general result.
Kihm was the bright particular star with
the stick for the HOLSTERS. He secured
three Of the eight hits, while Hogriever reg
istered two safe ones. The Hoosiers had
men on bases in every inning. but they were
unable to complete the circuit. Crowley
continued to pitch magnificent ball, and
would have won his game with first-class
support and any hitting by the team behind
him.
Geier and Shannon opened the contest
with singles, but the Saints were blanked
In the opening inning. Kihm opened the
last half of the first round with a single
and was sacrificed to second. Hogriever
went out and Heydon walked, but Shannon
got under Woodruffs sky scraper.
There was nothing doing in the scoring
line until the last Of the fourth inning, when
the Hoosiers made the first run of the game
and what proved to be their only tally.
Woodruff singled and advanced to third
when Coulter placed one in right for a base.
Then came Marcan, Tamsett and Crowley,
who were retired on outfield flies, Woodruff
scoring on Tamsetts out. During the re-
mainder of the game the Hoosiers threat
ened to get into the run-getting business,
but they were forestalled by Stewards clev-
err pitching.
The Saints secured a substantial lead in
the sixth, when they scored three, and add
ed one to their score in the first half of the
ninth. After Kelley was retired in the last
inning Wheeler singled and scored on Sulli-
vans long ,two-bagger to the right-field
fence. Stewart and Geier went out. In the
last half Watty sent O'Brien to bat for
Tamsett. and O'Brien singled. Kellum, who
batted for Crowley, fouled out to Kelley
and kim fouled to Geier. The game ended
when Fox famed. Score:
