Excitement Saturday
It was an exciting encounter Sat
urday, to f. Indianapolis, and the
crowd of 1000 was kept on edge
throughout. The A. A. champs used
three pitchers, Specie. Boone and
Love, the first named getting credit
for the game. Specie was withdrawn
after the sixth and Boone went in,
and he was greeted which called
for another change, and Texas Love
took up the burden and stopped The
Blues in their tracks.

The Indians leaped ON Tom Shee-
han in the first inning Saturday
and quickly gathered five runs,
which was fortunate, because he
got himself together Immediately
thereafter and held the locals at
bay the remainder of the way. Bud
Connolly's home run with two
mates aboard was the high spot of
the fat first inning.
Specie went to the sixth before he
weakened and the Blues rallied for
four runs. Boone went to the
mound in the seventh and retired
Peters when Matthews made a great
catch out near the flag pole. Shee-
han singled and reached third on
Knothe's single, and Love relieved
Boone. Grimes batted for Spurgeon
and as Love famed the pinch hitter
the Blues tried the double steal and
Sheehan was caught at the plate
Love retired the Blues in order in
the eighth and ninth.
