and dazzling plays. Indianapolis yesterday
afternoon registered double victory over
the Milwaukee Brewers by scores of 5 to A
and to 2. Over 5000 enthusiastic specta-
tors ste : UP and cheered when the cham
pIons bs ,ged the first game, and they APP
plauded themselves hoarse when the second
game was pulled out of the fire in the
eighth and ninth innings.
The double-header was a great drawing
card. The crowds filed the stands and

enthusiastic escorts. So large was the
crowd that IL was necessary to make
ground rules providing for hit against the

bases and hit into left that rolled into the
crowd being good for two bases.
The games were of the sort to cause
much uneasiness. as it required concerted
efforts TO land both victories. Clever bat
ting at just the proper time made 1t posi-
BILE for the Hoosiers to climb up a few more
points in the percentage column.

Milwaukee. Batting honors were evenly
divided between the two teams, but the
Hoosiers were more fortunate in collecting
their drives in three innings when they
accomplished the most good.
In the second game two of the youngest
pitchers in the association were assigned
to slab duty. Eugene Ford did the trick
for Indianapolis while Hedges issued twist
ers for the visitors. Hedges is the Ken
lucky find and he possessed the nerve
or an eastern Kentucky mountaineer. For
seven innings he did his work well and led
the spectators to believe that he was a
young man with history, probably con-
nected with some old kentucky feud and
able TO frighten the HOLSTERS. But there
was time set for his undoing and Ii came
