BEATEN BY BALTIMORE.
The Home Club Plays Close Game but Yields

The Baltimore ball players made their first
appearance in Indianapolis this season, yester-
day, and succeeded in defeating the home nine
by the score of 3 to l. McKeon and Keenan, and
Emslie and Traffiey did the battery work and
were very effective as the score goes to prove.
After the first inning the hits We're all scattered
and proftless. In the first inning Sommers
knocked the ball over the left field fence for
home run, bringing in Clinton who had gone to
his base on a safe hit Indianapolis only run
was made in the third inning, Sneed going to
first on seven balls and scoring on Weihe@s
long left.feld drive for two bases. Weihe did
most of the batting for the home club, making
three of the seven hits, Dorgau was sick, and
Sneed played right field but failed to distinguish
himself particularly. The same clubs play to-
day, when McCauley, the new pitcher, will make
his first appearance IN the pitchers box, and will
be supported by Thompson. Ofyesterdays game
