Special the Indianapolis Journal
CLEVELAND, o., July 3O.-Getzein pitched
in magnificent style against the local team
to-day, and as Gruber was both wild and
ineffective, the victory was rather an easy
one for the Hoosiers, who played in fine
form throughout the contest. An excusa-
BILE error by Seery. who let a hard-hit
grounder get past him. was the only thing
that saved Cleveland from a shut-oue
Buckley's misplay was a wild throw to Sec
ond, but cost nothing. Otherwise the WIS.,
itors did splendid work in the field and
played with much dash and confidence.
Denny's third-base play was especially
fine, and Glasscock also put up brill
liant game. The score does not show how
hard Gruber was hit, for the Cleveland
fielders cut off several fine drives. Getzein
had great command of the ball and remark
able speed. He also supplemented his
brilliant work in the box with fine drive
to center field in the sixth inning. on which
he nfade the circuit, sending McGeachy In
ahead of him.
Both sides were BANKED in the first two
innings. though the Hoosiers were only
prevented from scoring by lucky catch of
liner from Denny's bat by Mexican. after
Seery had reached second on his own single
and Glasscock's sacrifice. In the third Get
zein got first on four bad balls, moved up
two bases when Mexican mutfed a thrown
ball, and scored on Seery's double. The
latter tried to steal third. but was caught.
Glasscock waited, and was given his base
by Gruber,- Denny's single sending him to
long fly to Radford. Sullivan was also
sent to first. but Buckley's grounder to
Tebeau forced Denny out. After McGeachy
had gone out on fly in the fourth. Bassett
on balls, and both advanced on Seery''s
sacrifice. Glasscock then hit hot ground
er to Mexican. who fumbled it long enough
to allow the batter to reach first and Bias,
sett to score. Denny was retired
Yielded nothing, but It in the sixth
McGeachy led off with single. reached
second on Bassett's nice sacrifice, third on
Gruber's poor throw, and walked in when
Getzein lined the ball out to center for four
bases. The HoOslers had the bases full IN
the seventh, but two men had been retired,
and Bassett failed to make the Necessary
hit. Glasscock made q twO-bagger III the
eighth after GetZein and Seery had gone
out, but was left by Denny, who fouled out
| to Tebeau.
The home team scored their only run in
| the fourth inning after Denny had made a
| great stop and assist to Hines, retiring
Mexican. Iwltchell made SINGLE, but
Tebeau forced him out at second by send
| ing grOunder to Bassett. Then Faatz hit
a hard one down the third-base line, which
| Seery got in front of, but failed to stop on
| account of the ball taking a bad
| bound, Tebeau scoring on the er-
| ror. After this the Cleveland men
| had no show whatever to run across the
| plate, the side being retired in quicks order
in nearly every inning. Getzein only
| pitched three balls in the ninth. Denny
| got Tebeau's grounder, Glasscock threw
Faatz out at first, and Radf0rG flew out to
! McGeachy.
| The Cleveland baseball public seems to
have forgiven Glasscock, for instead oil
| Kissing the famous shOrt-stop, as is usually
| the case, he was cheered Justify when he
| first came to bat. Notwithstanding the
| races commenced to-day, there were nearly
| 1870 people out to see the game, much tC
| the surprise of the management. Boyle
and Buckley will be the battery tomorrow
Beatin will probably pitch for the Cleve-
lands. Anderson will pitch one of the
