EASTER FRAY WON
BY HOOSIER CREW
Hendricks Hands Light on Ralph
Willis with Vengeance in Sixth
and Seventh Rounds.
RILEY STEALS THREE RAISES


Jack Hendricks and his hired Hoosiers
assumed a very pugnacious attitude yes
terday and treated Marty Krug's noble
athletes in manner entirely unbefitting
peaceful Easter Sabbath afternoon. In
other words the Indianapolis persons took

gerent in, the sixth frame of the matinee.
During the course of that stanza they
battered Ralph Willis for a trio of counts,
Two made Off Everdon in the fourth and
another off Willis in the seventh COM
piled the total on six.

named Burk kept our side from making
more than three. Joe is southpaw and

Burney Everdon hurled a nice game
during his five rounds in the box. 1t was

were scored. Boss Marty made a bobble
which did the damage. After Bronkie s

stopped at third. Butcher drove liner
right at Krug. but the ball refused to
stick and bounced out of Martyrs eager
and outstretched hands. Kelly counted
and Metz went to third. II Marty had
caught the drive he could have engineered
a double and no counts would have
registered. On a perfectly executed
squeeze play Crandall sacrificed Metz
