While Gus Bonno and Clyde Good
win, star twirlers in the Kitty League,
battled for supremacy at Wallace
Park yesterday afternoon, both the
indians aud Hoosiers played like
school boys behind them each team
seemingly trying to see which could
make the most errors. Tho grand
stand was well filed, the fans resliz-
ing pitchers battle was brewing,
and every stage of the game was ex.
citing.
Bonno clearly demonstrated his su
periority, allowing but three hits,
one scratch hit until the ninth inning
when two accidental hits aud two
errors made it possible for the Hoosiers
to avoid the humiliation Of a shut out
with their star twirler in the box.
The way the trick was turned is
long story but ran be summed up in
one word ERRORS" Here is the
way the tide was turned:
In the last of the second inning
Potts hit waist ball to Gwyn and re.

after three bad ones had been deliy-
cred and swatted a hard grass clipper
TO right field, making first sack.
Goodwin doubled up to turn loose
speed and threw wild, Land going to
second. Lemon did not field the ball
quick enough and the Big Man went
to third. Harley hunted down to
first base line and Lemon tried TO
throw him out but made a botch, viii
kerson barely stopping the sphere as
she sailed two feet out of line. Land
came in home making the first run.
Powers and Brahic tried hard at three
swift benders and retired the side.
In the third inning two more scores
were netted. Bonno hit to Bicrkortte.

high ones. Lally waited for four
wide shoots and got him plum, later
stealing second. Potts swung well at
low drop ball and met It hard in the
face. The leather sphere went hard
at Bicrkortte whose anxiety to field
the runner out caused a bad tumble,
both Bonno and Lally scoring Potts

third sack. Land failed Of three and
retired the stickers.
The fifth inning brought forth three
more scores. Bateman flew out TO
Gwyn and Gerard grounded out from

high one TO Taylor who LET it drop.
Land came TO the plate with blood in
his eye. He swung true and hit =
hard one to little Bierkortte who made
bad muif, letting in two runs. Har-
ley also hit TO the second baseman
and another tumble was scored along
with run. Powers lined ont a nice
Jingle 10 right field. Bateman, who
was running the sacks for Harley,

thrown out, retiring the side.
In the sixth inning still another
run was made. Brshio flew out TO
O'Leary and Bonno got his base on
