The greatest fault with a majority
of poor batters,' said Manager chas.
Carr Of the indianapolis team, is
that they try to outguess the pitcher.
They try to call the turn on the other
fellows game when the clances are
overwhelmingly against them. What
they should do is to keep their eyes on
the ball, watch where it is coming and
try to meet it there with the bat.
Many players apparently, can not
help from trying to outguess the
pitcher. They say they will not at
tempt it. but they get up to the plate
and do that very thing. They make up
their minds that an outcurve is coming,
and then they are made to look fool
ish and have to dodge for their lives
when a fast inshoot is put over the
plate. The tang to do is to watch the
pitcher and the ball every second

Sporting Tips

Jackets record yesterday against OF
tumwa.
The daily attendance at Pittsburg
is averaging close to 5000. The Pi-
rates are playing magnificent ball.
The indianapolis team has won
more shutout games than any team in
the American Association.
Mordecai Brown has pitched five
extra innings games so far this sea
son. That's pretty near record.
There are two Johnny Everses in
the great game. The lesser light is a
catcher and las never cut much fig
ure.
Bridwen Is the slowest Of the
Giants to regain batting form. He is
still way down in the list and picking
UP but slowly.
One three Dagger and four two bag

in which but Six hits We're obtained.

Claude Rossman may go to Wash

would rather work in the garden than
on first base, anyhow.
Although Keokuk obtained but six
hits off Eastman the Indian twirler

He was no-speed artist.

Four Hits In sixth.

In the sixth inning Ottumwa's slug
gers got busy. Finney led OF with a
single to left and Mclaughlin followed
with a single in the same direction
Senno hit a short fly to Hildebrand
who made a good running catch and
held both runners at their respective
stations. Wise struck out and a score
looked distant. Reeve hit safely to
left, that old favorite spot of the day,
but still there were no scores. With
three clean singles and not a score
Blue Jacket seemed to have things
breaking his way. but it could not
always be kept up. When Brand hit
the ball he made an extra effort to hit
1t harder than hits predecessors and
found safe one for two bases. On
this hit to left again two men scored.
Hoey sent up fly to Corriden and the
run getting was over.
Things were quiet during the rest OF
the game except in the sixth when

things which resulted in five runs.
Grodnick was easy. Eastman to Hoey.
Annis hit to short and Reeve pegged
high to first. Hoey crossed the bag.
A perfect peg would have caught the

an error. Annis stole second and on a

third and reached there safely. Corri-

Indians Heave the Pill.

Two brothers OF the Red Skin tribe
opposed each other In yesterdays bat
tie, Blue Jacket being the big man for
Keokuk and Eastman handing them up
for Ottumwa. The Keokuk twirler
had all the better of the argument
and in only one inning was he bump
ed hard. Eastman held the locals to
six hits, but it was hard for the specta-
tors to figure out what he had. His
delivery was broken arm one and the
Indians seemed able to find him when
hits were needed. Miller's three bag
ger and four two baggers found hard
spots In the outfield OF the visiting
Indian. Blue Jacket started off SO
well that had he escaped the fifth and
sixth innings he would have probably
pitched no hit game. During the
first four and the last three not a
semblance OF hit was made off the
Keokuk mound artist and had first
base been covered in the fourth when
Grodnick made sensational. stop the
hits would have been confined to one
inning

the first safe hit was made on
him which proved to be
nothing but q scratch, although

was the only thing that turned 1t into

great lunge for the ball which went
skimming along the ground. He plung-

Sam Grodnick also made dash for
the ball and was running deep. Ex-
tending himself for a last EFFORT he

was too late and the man was safe.

Reeve to reach third and Hoey first
