.KATOLL IN HIS
OLD TINE FORM
INDIANAPOLIS WAS EASY GA1E
FOR THE MILLHRS.
Locals Pounded Williams and Played
Fast, snappy Ball McCreery, the
Long-Distance Hitter Of the Day
An or Day for Short Stop DeMont.

Jack Katoll returned to his own at
Nicollet park yesterday afternoon. It was
the first game OF the season for the big
pitcher, but he rose to the occasion with
the dignity Of an alderman and the eff
fectiveness of a, riot shotgun at ten-foot
range. The big fellow had speed to burn
and mixed UP his arcs In a style that
kept Bug Holiday on the Jump and the
Indianapolis batters straddling the box
lines until the final out.
Williams essayed to do the pitching for
Indianapolis, but the millers took kindly
interest in him. They met him half way
in their sociability, and the result was
that Mr.. Williams permitted them to pile
up thirteen hits on his delivery. Maloney
and Sullivan played star ball for Mime
apolis, each landing on Williams for three
hits.
The visitors went first to bat. It was
a bench procession for the
first three, and Minneapolis came in to
demonstrate the difference, McNichols took
first on a transfer and second on Fox's
sacrifice. Maloney cut loose a dandelion
destroyer and McNichols scored. Sulli-
van then tore off a two-square bite to
left and Maloney ceased throwing sand at
third. Coulter followed with another two
Dagger, allowing Maloney and Sullivan to
canter home. The next two men up took
pity on the sufferers and went. out at
first
'Zaza" swander came up for Indianap-
oils and made a single. It availed not,
as Katoll caught him dreaming Of home
three feet from the bag on the second
base side. The next two men up were
extinguished without effort. In the Min
neapolis half McNichols Slated a stiff
single and stole second. Fox put out
dinky single and McNichols came home
from second on what was rightfully good
for but one bag. He was rebuked by Mr..
Watkins on his return to the bench-not.
Maloney, to be friendly, tapped up Mr..
Williams for another hit, but the side
went out before he had an opportunity
to spike the opposing second baseman.
Dickey led off for indianapolis in the
third with a single to right, which Ma
loney, booted, allowing him to reach sec
ond. Denontreville reached second while
five or six Minneapolis laborers were put
ting the binders on Dickey at third. Will
liams reached first while Fox was enjoy
ing temporary attack Of paresis, allow
ing Demontreville to score. The runaways
were headed and put back to the stable
before any further damage resulted.
There was no more scoring until the
sixth inning. McCreery, the one-time
miller, came to bat, and after he had
swung wildly at a couple a young man in
the stand wearing an automobile cap and
a spring style chew of Battle AK informed
Katoll that there was nothing to bat.''
Katoll believed him and threw up a
straight one. McCreery jousted 1t over
the right field fence and trotted around
| the bases like a Roman hired girl out for
an airing on the Appian way. 80.
In the seventh inning Minneapolis
| played pinochle with the visitors. Four
singles in row, mixed El1p with base
! stealing errors by the Posey county peo-
pie and dumb playing by the same artists,
allowed Maloney, Sullivan, Coulter and
Weaver to leave pigeon tracks on the
home plate. There was nothing doing
| until the ninth, when Indianapolis started
| things after Katou attempted to cheer
| them up with base on balls. Carr
walked and Heydon singled. Carr scored
when Dickey did-make hit. The car.
mage was brought UP with a round turn
and It was all over. Following is the
4 score!
