TOLEDO's YOUNG PITCHER
He Saves the Game from Being Feat
ureless One by His Work Yesterday.
Made We're Earred--A Long List of
Games Elsewhere-Notes

About the only feature OF interest in yester-
days game was the work OF the young pitcher IN
the box for Toledo. His name is Cook, he is
left hand thrower, and by his work yesterday
he indicated that he would in all probability
make one of the best twirlers in the profession,
il given the proper training and support. The
visitors played an abominable fielding game
hind him. and it is wonder he did rot become
discouraged and quit trying to pitch, but he
kept at it until the last man was put out 10 the
ninth. The home team earned but two of their
twelve runs, and nearly half OF their hits were
Of the lucky order. The only questionable feat
ure of Cooks ability 10 as to whether he can
hold ont for nine innings and keep up his speed.
He has great curves, and for ayounsgter his con-
troll of the ball is remarkably good. His speed
yesterday fair, and with q player of ais
years there 10 plenty of opportunity for i'm
gether he is the most promising
young pitcher who has been in the
box in this city for long time. Tbs work of
HUT and Walsh for the visitors was wretched
The former seems to be rather = good hitter,
but he cannot field in any position, proving as
much of failure yesterday in center field as he
had at frat base. His poor work. however. may
be due to inexperience and an inclination to be-

playing the game he Is capable of. Bottenus
again put up a splendid game at second base for
being an excusable one He seems, however,
unable to hit the ball. Sales again showed him
self good hitter, but Cook. the young pitcher,
made the largest number of safe drives.
Glasscock was sick, and Myers started in at
Short. but after the second inning changed
places with Denny. The latter played a great
game all around. His fielding was brilliant. and
his batting and base-rnnninc great. George
Myers will hereafter have to look to his laurels
in the matter of sliding into bases now that
Denny has gotten started at it. The big cap

good fielding game, making one remarkable

first time this season. and after the first inning

in his position but failed to coyer che plate at
time in the first inning when ne should

work, however the manner in which he
cracked out three safe hits of of the young
phenomenon. Denny's home run was drive
over the left-feld fence in the fourth. In the
ninth he again sent the ball over the fence, but
sharp wind carried il foul. Sesry put IL over
the reht-feld fence in the sixth. The day was
cold. and only small crowd Witnessed the
game. The following il the score:

The Ariptsters' Meeting.

At the Methodist preachers meeting yester-
day Dr. Keene read q paper on "How Can the
Collection for Conference Claimants Be Adj

A. W. Lamport at Central avenue Church, was

his recent Southern trip, and of the prospects
of Methodism in that section.

The Carleton Opera Company, which created
such favorable impression here last season,
appeared at the Grand Opera-hous last night
in 'sErminie.a The fact that the opera has been

Natural Gas and Briok-Malxing.


The fears that existed few weeks ago that
there would not be sufficient number of brick
manufactured near the city to supply the I'M
precedented demand this year appear now to
have been groundIess. The situation has been
changed by the utilization of natural gas in
burning considerable quantity that will be
used this season. While the old yards in the
vicinity OF the city will not be able TO use the
fuel soon, several men with means have prepared
to establish some very extensive yards at Castle
ton and at other points north of the city in the
natural-gas belt The Castleton Natural gas
Company. which has surplus of gas after sup
plying all the inhabitants of the village, has de-
cided to use il in burning brick for the Indian
apoiis market. and it already has one large
yard in operation.
I'VE expect purn very large number
said Ed Bash, the president of tbs company.
yesterday, land will be able to put tnam on
the market at much lower price than the old
dealers asking now. Owning orr own gas,
as do, will be in position to Offer great
inducements to Indianapolis builders. We have
already had very large demand for the brick
we going to burn"
A good many contractors believe that the cost
of burning brick will be reduced one-half by the
introduction of natural gas and some people
who intend TO build have concluded To wait until
gas is IN use in the yards with the hopes that
they will be able 90 save something.

The Signing OF Daily.

Sporting Times.
The signing Of Con DAILY with the Indianapo-
lis club probably leaves Myrtle Hackett Out in
the cold Myrtle wrote the Indianapolis man
agement about two weeks ago. stating his
terms, but in the meantime the Hoosiers signed
Daily. What Hackett will do remains to be
seen. He is good man, but il seems that the
Indianapolis club get along without him
Daily is good man, and the baseball cranks in
and about Boston cudgeling their brains to
find reason for his release by the Boston man
aeement He stood high q batter when he
played on the champion Providence team. and his
work with the stick last season was very fair
The best thing the Hoosiers could do now would
be to buy RadbourEe's release. Radbourne and
DAILY have worked together for many years and
il is safe TO say that il they were ever run out
against the Boston Club, they wonld break their
backs win the game. Dir. Soden tells ma
thatif Radhourne plays ball it must be iniBoston.
But if Radbourne stands up and demands his
lease and refuses TO play with the old Red
Stockings there 10 no doubt bat what his
lease could be bought. It is policy for the
