SERIOUS HITTING SLUMP HANDICAPS HOOSIERS IN BIG SERIES WITH ASSOCIATION LEADERS
TWO CONTESTS REMAIN WITH DEMON SAINTS Indians Have Chance to Even Series if They Get Hats Working. ONE HIT ONLY SUNDAY
Two more games, including the contest today, remain to be played between the Saints and Indians at Washington park, and if the Hoosiers can recover their batting form there is some chance of getting an even break out of the 'eries. despite the Saturday and Sunday defeats handed the Heudricksmen. In the scries opener Saturday, the league leaders won, 4 to 1. defeatin' Gaw. the Tribe's new liurier, and yester>y Mike Kelley's outfit put over another i rusher, 6 to 0. The largest crowd at Washington park for several seasons, estimated at 12,000 turned out for the Sabbath game and. though the fans were disappointed over the home club's defeat, they were not completely depressed because hardly any team could have solved Charlie Hall's slants. Hall was in amazing form and was found for only one hit. In seven of the nine innings hot a Hoosier reached first base. Dick Gossett got the only Tribe hit. a single to left in the fifth inning. In the eighth Schreiber got on when Hargrave missed his third strike, but he was forced by Gossett later. Gossett reached ■econd on the play when Bergliammo'threw wild trying for a double play. In fact Gossett was the only Indian to see second during the entire game, so

Cavet pitched effectively after taking np the hurling, being found for two questionable runs in the sixth when Field Umpire Shannon came through with tb# prize boner of the series. With Berghammer on third and Boone on second with two out in the sixth Dressen hit to deep short. Schreiber made a clever play on the ball and hurled it to Covington. The play at first was close, but I’m plre Shannon used his ''out” gesture and the Indians naturally thought the side had been retired. Then Shannon declared he had decided the runner safe and, of course, the Saint base runners had kept going and their runs counted. A long argument started over the play, resulting in the banishment of Manager Hendricks, but it was plain that it was a rase of bad umpiring and no one criticised Hendricks for protesting untii the last. President Hickeyl of the American Association was a spectator at the game

Although not bting what one would call an old-timer in the cycle racing game. Ted Garlacb, a member of the Independent Athletic club team, displayed a graduate’s knowledge of pedal pushing when he obtained a big enough lead with a three-minute handicap to win first place in The Daily Times fifteen-mile handicap cycle derby held on the Riverside park course Sunday morning, over a field of twenty-two other contestants, some of whom have been riding races for the past five years. His time for the distauce was 43:54.
ar.d it is understood that he thought the same way the fans did about Umpire Shannon's decision which deprived Pug Caret of eight innings of shutout ball against the champions. About 2.009 fans were unable to obtain 'grandstand seats and returned to town. They were the late comers and when told that standing room only was left they decided to wait for another game to see the teams perform. It was the third straight game that Cavet acted iu relief capacity. The record attendance demonstrated that Indianapolis is strong for winning baseball. If the Indians can brace this week another big crowd can be expected on hand next Sunday. Third Baseman Rapp plaved a flashygame for the Saints. Elmer Miller was the day's best slugger with two doubles and a single. An error, two walks, a double, two singles and a stolen base combined to give the Saints four runs and the game iu the first inning.
