indianapolis is crawling steadily up to Pitts
burg while Washington is sliding downward SO
rapidly that unless some one puts a Turk s-head
knot on the end of the tail the home team will
be lost in the league tureen. Stronger batting
yesterday in indianapolis or better pitching
than Keefe did would have changed the black
bordered score card into pleasant reading for
Washington enthusiasts. As it was the States
men added one more to the % defeats they
have previously suffered during this season.
MORRILL, men put up an errorless game, while the
Hoosiers had three black marks against
them, but with the exception of McGeachy
every one of tie indianapolis aggregation hit
the ball hard and effectively. The pulverizing
was most noticeable in the third inning, when
Glasscock with the bases full, made a home
run. Then Person was substituted for Keefe,
and for three innings there were no runs. In
the seventh and eighth. however, indianapolis
got in two more, and In the seventh nd ninth
Washington added two to their total, the result
being 6 to A. The fielding of Myers, Irwin,
Wilmot and Hoy was of the highest possible
order, and triple play in the eighth inning
was loudly applauded. Lynch did some Of the
worst umpiring ever seen on any field, and
Mr.. Brush was SO disguised that he telegraphed
PRESIDENT Young requesting Lynch's recall.
Indianapolis earned four of its runs. Washing
ton only two. The batteries were keefe, Fer
son and Mack and Getzein and Daily. The
hits-1ndianapolis, IA; Washington, 8.
OTHER LEAGUE GAMES.
Three thousand Pittsburgers watched Morris
do his best to puzzle the Bostonans and went
away satisfied that Morris could come as near
1t as anybody else, without actually doing it.
Madden was also on his met:le. and although
the Pittsburg sluggers got six hits off him they
failed to score but once. Boston tailed twice;
once in the seventh and once in the eighth.
Pittsburgs solitary enc came in the ninth when
Maui hoped across the plate. Each team
earned a run, but Pittsburg had two errors to
compare with the esthetlc perfection OF the
Beaneaters. Fessenden umpired satisfactorily.
''If' Stricken had not been SO extremely anX-
possibly, would probably. have captured the
ball which Roger Common lined out to his posi-
ton, and then it would have taken an extra
inning or so to have settled the game. Ward
hit safely and stole to second. He took good
deal of ground and Stricken ran up to get the
ball which he hoped Bakely would send him.
The ball was out of Bakely's hands, however,
and Conner sent it through the hole in the in
field wall. Richardson hunted out little sac
rifce and John Mont yomery crossed the plate.
The Giants made nine hits and one error, while
the Infants secured six hits off WEIGH and made
one error. The Cleveland people went almost
wild over the best game of ball they ever saw
in their city. Umpire, McQuaid
The big Swede did his best yesterday to
please the people of Chicago, but his effort re-
suited in a dismal failure. for Philadelphia's
leaguers were moving rapidly. They made
eleven hits off Gumbert, while Chicago sue
ceeded in hitting safely but nine times. Buff
linton pitched great game and victory perched
on the Quakers' banner to the extent of to 2.
