Only one thing msrred the pleasure of
Witnessing the Wattykins take two games
from the Minneapolis team yesterday after
noon by scores OF 10 TO and to and
that was the baby play made by oyler in
the early part OF the first battle. He mace
wild throw TO Lally, who was then cover
ing the first bag, and because Lally CEN
sured him, the little shortstop used Ian
guage that is not heard at any pink teas.
OyIer was threatened with the soft soap
treatment and he behaved better during the
remainder of the afternoons sport.
Besides climbing up the percentage
column a few points. the double victory had
the same effect upon Manager Watkins as
a plunge in the fountain of youth. His
smile, which has been on the wane for
many days, oroadened perceptibly and he
only crushed two cigars during his session
on the bench. He even admitted after the
games that if the end OF the season were
not 50 close at hand there would be no
doubt of the HOLSTERS perching on top OF
the ladder when the curtain is rung down.
He says he can easily see the seats on the
second rung for his team and a few hard
and steady pulls will land them In second
place.
Good pitching by Newlin in the first en-
gagement and Crowley in the second battle
was largely responsible for the double vic
tory. Newlins curves were found frequent
~. but the visitors did not bunch their
hits very often The twirler also had good
support in nearly every inning. Mcdonald,
who opposed Newlin. became very peevish
after Indiana polls had scored two in the
opening roun1. and in the latter part OF the
contest the HOLSTERS made the game safe
by taking kindly to his curves.
BATTING HONORS EVEN
The two teams secured the same number
OF hits in the last game and one error was
charged against each team, but again the
HOLSTERS were fortunate in making their safe
hits count, while Crowley kept the hits off
his delivery well scattered until the ninth,
when the Millers scored their only tally.
Woodruff and Narcan led the stick work
in the first game for indianapolis, Woodruff
registering four hits. one of them for two
bases. while Marcan piled up two singles
aad triple. Hogriever did the most eff
fective batting in the second game. The
fielding in both games was fast. and several
brilliant plays were made.
The Millers took hope at the opening Of
the first battle when Newln issued trans
portatiOn To Sullivan. MalOney beat out an
infieid attempt. but was forced at second by

The HOLSTERS more fortunate I'm the
last half Of the inning and took the lead
with brace of TALES. kim reached first
through the grace Of Oyler's misplay Fox
landed on the initial sack on an infield hit
H0grlevers out advanced both men. and
singles by Woodruff and Marcan scored
them. Heydon and Coulter were easily re-
tired.
The AiilIers put a knot i'm the score I'm the
first half OF the fourth. Oyier singled and
Newlin hit Mcintyre. Lally sacrificed. and
after Yeager flew out, SpOoner and Martin
hit safely. The Hoosiers not long in
taking the lead again, they scored one
IN the last half OF the inning on Heydon's
double 20 the right-field fence. Coulter

During the remainder of the game the
AIllers failed TO send man around the
circuit. Indianapolis added two in the sixth.
