intheI international Association, the Toronto
club is not a phenomenal organization, and
the Hoosiers easily defeated the Canadians
at the League park yesterday afternoon.
The day was delightful for the sport, but
only about six hundred people were on the
grounds. But as Captain Glasscock's team
played a brilliant game. those who were
there enjoyed it very much. TIL Leaguers
took the lead from the start. and it was
evident that the visitors were greatly over
matched. though they worked hard and
made an earnest effort to keep the score
down to reasonable figures. Boyle was in
the box for the home team for the first SIX
innings, with Daily at the other end of the
line. He pitched in fine form. The oppos-
ing batters could do nothing with him and
none of them got further than second base
until he retired and Rusie took his place
at the opening of the seventh. The latter,
too, was very effective, and it was only by
a scratch that Toronto sent a man across
the plate. Seery was sick and Meyers
played left field.
In the second inning Hines was hit on
the arm by a pitched ball and retired in
favor of Whitney. Vickery, a young pitcher
with good speed, but poor. control of the
ball, was in the box for the visitors, and
James McGuire. once a member of the In
dianapOlls team. was behind the bat. Nc
Guire was at one time q great catcher, but
as he did rather Indifferent work yester-
day. His throwing was wretched, and the
HOosiers ran bases as they pleased. The
result of the contest ALPHABETICALLY set,
inning, when Indianapolis had scored
eight runs without any special
effort. Hines, the first batter, was given
his base on balls, and Glasscock wasfayOred
in the same way. An error let Hines to
up a base, Hines crossing the plate while
Mcclure was trying to throw GlasscOck
out. After Denny had struck out. Meyers
reached first by grace Of the pitchers wild
Glasscock, when Daily sent a liner to CEN
ter field: The latter reached third on a
steal and Bassetts single, n came home
when an effort was made to throw
the Indianapolis second baseman out at
base On balls. and both runners moved up
together, but Sch4neck struck out and
Boyle failed to reach first and they were
left. Meyers took McMillan's fly in good
style: Burke made a single and stole sec
ond, but the next two batters were easily
retird.
Hines again came to the bat, and being
hit by a pitched ball took first. Glasscock
followed with a rattling two-bagger, and
both scored on Dennny's single the
throw to catch Glasscock at the
plate and tailed on Myers's hit. The little
catcher soon landed at second and went to
third on a wild pitch, scoring on Daily's
%grOunder past first base. The latter was
put out while trying to reach second. Bias
sett was given his base, but was forced out
by McGeachy, who was called out for rum
ming out of line. At this point Hines re-
tired and Whitney went to center. The
Torontos were quickly put out in their
half of the inning, Boyle and SchGneck
doing the business in each case. &,
indianapolis retired in order in the third.
Vickery gave Glasscock a hot liner, which
he handled in fine style. Mcmillan got to
first on a nice single. but was doubled up
with Burke by Bassett and Sch9neck. A
base on balls, an out and two errors scored
Glasscock in the fourth. The visitors
were again retired in order. The fifth
second, ON McGuire's poor throw
went to third and scored on an
error by the same player; SchGneck got to
third on Boylefs hit and home on Whitney's
scoring on Denny's out. Whitney was
caught mapping. The TOrOntos did not get
a man to first in their half of the inning,
seventh inning, when Boyle retired and
Rusie went into the box. The young mar
was a little wild in his delivery at first, but
soon settled down and proved q puzzler for
the Canadians. Mcclure was given q base
on balls, and Grim's splendid drive for
a double sent him to third. Nc
Laughlin made a scratch hit over
Denny's head. and the runner scored
the first and last tally for his
side. The succeeding batters were quickly
retired.
indianapolis had previously sent two
men across the plate In the Same inning on
a combination of hits, errors and bases on
balls. Another one was added to the score
in the eighth. Bassett made a hit, went to
third on two outs, and came home on Rusie's
grounder past first base. The latter went

single. Both sides were retired in order in
the ninth, and the score remained as fol-
