ST. PAUL, Aug. 31-YOu never can
tell what's going to happen on the oaii
field.
After Mondays game here, which the
Indians won in easy fashion, s to o, and
in which the HoOsiers looked like cham
pions IN all departments, Nike Kelley,
boss of the Saints, expressed the op1n-
ion that he didn't understand why the
Indianapolis team was not one, two
three IN the American Association race
Mikes own players must have heard
him talking. and the Indians themselves
must have decided to prove that he
didn't know what he was talking about.
At any rate. when the Tribesmen and
Saints squared away for their second
game Of the series Tuesday the standard
OF baseball delivered by both teams was
exactly reverse to what It was the day
previous The Saints braced in all de-
partments while the Indians cracked wide
open in pitching and on the defense.
On Monday the Indians played with
clocklike precision. only to fall to pieces
and drop Tuesdays game by Ito
score to the Saints. Sticking eontriDuted
two errors in the pinch Tuesday and
hinsella also came through with one

escaped the detection OF the official scor-
er and went as hits for the Saints
1t was a loose. uninteresting game. The
Hendricks clan slapped Hall for four
bingles In the first frame, but could put
over only one run, even with q stolen
base and an error thrown In Baird
Schreiber, CovingtOn and Sinners got the
singles which helped put over the lone
counter. From then on. Hall blanked
the HoOsiers, giving them one hit In the
second, one In the fifth, two IN the sixth
and one In the eighth
A hand stab by Haas near the left
center field fence robbed SINNERS OF a
hit and a duplicate stunt by Hencryx IN
the ninth peeyed Schneider.
Weaver was touched for FIVE runs IN
the third when the Saints bstted around.
Dresser opened with 4 double. -Four
singles. a sacrifice and three errors were
chalked up and i've counters came over
the platter The only other scoring dur
ing the game was done IN the fourth,
when the Saints got to Weaver for three
hits. which coupled with a walk melted
two runs
