Z. Failure on the part Of Supp to
handle the ball. in the style necessary
in a real ball game when there is a
double play to be pulled off. gave yes
terday's contest to indianapolis in the
first inning and sadly married what
otherwise would have been one of the
most interesting exhibitions the fans
of this city have had an opportunity
to see for a long time.
This failure to retire two Indianapo-
lis runners, with one man already out,
was followed by a smashing triple by
Tiemeyer, the All-Star Fed $50 slug
ger, scoring two runs. Tiemeyer scored
moment later on a single by Robe.
Richmond marked her only run in
the third inning, when Cobentz was
hit by the pitcher, and Utrecht walked.
CoblentZ scored on Texas Lacquer,
and Utrecht was out on the next play,
being tagged at the plate in endeavor-
ing to score from second on Clarke's
single to right.
Make Earned Run.
The Feds got their only earned run
in the sixth, when Jones hit safely
was advanced to second and scored on
a long hit by Derringer.
Indianapolis scored again in the
ninth. Kunkle, the first man up,
walked, was advanced to second by
Moore, and scored on Gates single to
right Kaiser was out on foul tip
and Gates was thrown out on a field
er's choice.
Richmond lost chance to mark up
another one in the fourth inning when
with two men out and man on sec
ond and third, Utrecht contented him
self with a pop-up fly, retiring the side
Again in the eighth with men on the
third and second cushions and two
out, Dahl was out on a called third
strike, which looked to many in the
grandstand like a ball.
In the last half of the ninth the
locals were able to do little toward
pulling the game out of the ire. Sharp
flew out, Coblentz reached first on an
error, stole second, and then by clever
base running, reached the third sack,
where he roasted while Utrecht struck
out. Meyers made the last out of the
game by hitting an easy roller to Robe
Feds Better Hitters.
The visitors slightly outhit the To-
Gals, getting seven hits while Rich
mond was only able to dish up even
half-doZen. Richmond was extremely
unlocking in scoring men on bases,
the elusive Eli sewing them up in
pinches, and sever runners persisted
miserably, while only five Feds suf-
Tered similar neglect.
Utrecht pitched a clean, consistent
game throughout, and with proper sup
port in the first inning would have
pitched Gates a tight race throught
the nine innings. Eli was compelled
to extend himself in only few in
stances, taking things easily the great
er portion of the trip.

Robe Plays Well.
Robe, whose bright star scintillated
for a few brief days in the worlds
championship series between the Cubs
and the White SoX, and then dimmed
almost as suddenly as it famed forth,

and getting two clean hits, one OF
them netting a run.
Ideal weather, the prospects of
good game, and an Increased interest
in baseball, due to the approach OF the
worlds series, brought out very good
