OF the ninth inning was finished and
the Hoosiers walked of the diamond
with big goose eggs around their
necks.
There was some sensational work
done on both sides, the HOLSTERS
making fast triple play the first
seen on the local grounds and a
great exhibition of fast ball playing.
The play was pulled off in the fifth
inning when Land and Frakes had
singled and filled first and second
sacks. Gilligan took his stick and hit
a high foul to Matteson. The ball
went nearly to the grand stand on
the west wing and Matteson caught
Il. Wheeling around he threw the
ball to Wilkerson and caught
Frakes off first baR. Land had run
to third after the ball was caught
and seeing the ball thrown TO Will
kerson started for home. Wilkerson
saw him leave third sack and come
tearing in home, and as soon as he
got the ball. tagged Frakes. let drive
at Perdue who had run to home
plate. Perdue received the perfect
throw and got Land. This was one of
the fastest pieces of work done on
the grounds this season and was so
quick that but few of the fans knew
what had happened.
The Indians scored in the third in
ming and took some good work to
tally the runs. Land singled to left
field and Frakes sacrificed him to
second. Gilligan hit single to CEN
ter field and Donovan tried to throw
Land out at home but the Big Man
made safe. Gilligan made second
on the throw and McClain took the
stick. He hit to Barbour and Gill
gan gained third sack on the ball
before 1t reached Barbour, Gilligan
having taken a great lead. When he
saw Barbour turn loose the sphere
for first he came tearing in home
and Wilkerson tried to catch him but
failed. After this the Kolbites play

AN ALLEGED ERROR.
Wrong Man Given Credit for Rescue
of Drowning Boy.

People living In the vicinity of Maryland
avenue and AZ street southwest INDUCED in
some unfavorable comment when they
learned from the papers that Policeman
Wilson of the fourth precinct had been
gwen credit for rescuing Raymond Lewis
from the water that had collected in an
excavation at the corner mentioned. When
they saw photograph of the policeman re-
produced in an afternoon paper they de-
nounGed the claim that the policeman had
saved the boys life.
George Joseph saved the boy from
drowning" Star reporter was told, and
the policeman had nothing to do with it"
But" said the reporter. "the police rec
ords show that the boy was rescued by the
policeman"
Don't care what the records show" said
The Stars informant: 1.-The policeman had
nothing to do with it, but he did appear
upon the scene after the boy had been
taken from the water"
The record as telephoned to police head
quarters reads: About 3: 10 this pm Ray
mond Lewis. white, nine years old, living at
POI Az street southwest, while playing near
an excavation of about eight feet Of water
near Maryland avenue and Az street south
west. fell in. and was rescued by Officer
Wilson and citizens. He was taken home
by his grandmother.
His grandmother took him home, as
stated in the report. He had been over
board. and was wet. He was also badly
frightened. but had made display of
nerve that had won for him the praise OF
those who gathered about the muddy pond.
II don't care who gets the credit said
Mrs. Reese, the grandmother OF the boy.
but as long as there Is anything said
about 1t think the proper person should
get the credit. The man who keeps the
fruit store on the corner saved Raymond"
The boy told similar story. He said he
was on his way up Az street, and thought
he was walking in the mud, when he sud-
denly went down into the muddy water.
When he went In the water deeper than
himself. he said, he was frightened. and
each time he appeared upon the surface of
the water he raised his hands. thinking he
could attract attention in that manner.
Finally George Joseph grabbed him and
pulled him from the water.
George Joseph, who conducts fruit and
confectionery store on the corner where the
accident occurred. told a Star reporter a
similar story of the rescue. He said he
jumped into the water and grabbed the
boy when he came to the surface with his
hands altstretched 1t was after the boy
had reached his store, he said, that the pO-
liceman appeared.
There was another important and inter-
esting feature of the affair that was not
mentioned In the report. This was the part
taken by Millburn Reese. Il cousin of Ray
mond Lewis. Millburn is a of the late
Edward Reese who was killed in the rail-
way pit at 18th and III streets northeast a
few days ago. The two children were
walking along in the rain, and when Ray
mond slipped and fell the little fellow grab
bed for his feet and tried to hold him. He
became mired in the mud, however, and 1t
was necessary for somebody to release him
before he could return to his mother and
grandmother.

A YOUNG DRINKER.
A Boy Sixteen Years Old Disorderly
at the Lyceum.

A boy about sixteen years old was taken
from the gallery at the Lyceum Theater
last night about o'clock because. 1t ID
charged, he was disorderly. He had bot
tie partly filled with whisky, and his con-
ditlon indicated that he had consumed some
Of the fluid. When the special policeman
in the theater spoke to him about exhibit
ing the bottle and asked him to put 1t
away he objected to being dictated to by
the man wearing badge. His conduct was
such that the officer arrested him and took
him to the street where he was turned
over to Policeman Owens. At the first pre-
cinct the boy gave his name as Harry
Davis and told the police that his father Is
q special policeman. Under ordinary cir
cumstances he would have been sent to the
house of detention, but his condition was
such that he was detained at the station.
If collateral is not left for his appearance
he will be transferred to the house of de-
tention when he RECEIVERS from the effects
of the intoxicants in which he INDUCED.
