CLEVELAND, o., July 31.-The Indian
apolis ball team did remarkable work
against the Clevelands to-day in the final
fight of the series, and by playing not only
an errorless but brilliant game from start
to finish, shut the League infants out In
one of the finest contests ever seen on the
local grounds. Though the Cleveland play
ers failed to score run the defeat was not
one that will cast discredit upon them, for
they made a stubborn effort to win, and
that they did not do so was because not
team in tine country could have won against
such pitching and fielding as the HOosiers
did. Boyle's work was of the highest order,
and the support given him was no less
brilliant. The local men only made one
clean and one scratch hit, and had butlittle
show to score at any stage of the game.
At critical points Boyle was invihcible,
none of the Infants being able to get the
ball out of the diamond. He had fine conf
mand and terrific speed. The HoOsier in
field played one of it's old time games,
Denny's third-base play being the feature
, of the contest. He not only had numerous
chances, but several of them were very
difficult, and his fine stops of apparently
safe hits seemed to discourage the local
men. Buckley's catching was also of the
best kind and the whole team played
a brisk and dashing game. The only
run of the contest was secured by clever
sacrifice hitting and good work on the
lines.
Tie victory was not easily won, however,
for Bakely pitched fine game, and the
team behind HIM did splendidly. base
the Hoosiers' success. McAleer was the
only Cleveland player who got as far as
third base, and no one else got past first.
Neither of the men who were given their
base on balls were able to reach second,
Radford tried to steal once. but was
promptly thrown out by Buckley. As Nc
Aleer was the only man who hit safe, he,
of course, was the only one who reached
first, with the exception of RadfOrd and
thinner, they getting their base on balls.
In five of the innings Cleveland was re-
tired in order
The Hoosiers made the only run of the
game in the second. Sullivan, the first
batter. was sent to first on balls. Buckley
made clever sacrifice hit, advancing him
base. McGeachy flew out to Mexican,
but Bassett. after two strikes had been
called on him, drove the ball down the
right field line, and Sullivan crossed the
sent Bassett to third. but the same player
made a brilliant catch of Seery's short fly
TO center, saving another run. Bassett
made his second hit in the fifth. but was
doubled up with Boyle on the latter's
grounder to Mexican. Seery went to first
on balls, but GlasscOck was retired. After
Buckley had been put out in the seventh
McGeachy secured a single, but was caught
trying to steal second and Bassett struck
out.
The only chance the Clevelands had to
score was in the seventh inning, when Nc
Aleer led off with a single past GlasscOck.
Mckeans sacrifice sent him to second and
TwitchelPs out advanced him to third. The
crowd called upon Tebeau to make hit,
and no doubt he tried to do so. but his line
fly to McGeachy was nicely taken. Zim-
mer got his base on balls in tho eighth after
two were out. but Bakely failed to knock
the ball past Boyle. and was an easy out.
The side was retired in order in the ninth.
The Cleveland people are hard losers, and
tO-day's crowd was very much disguised
with the result of the game. The Hoosier
players are taking splendid care of them
seves, and Manager Glasscock is working
like Trojan for the club. Jerry Denny,
jr., the four-year-old youngster of the fam
Gus third baseman, is with the team, and is
regarded as q mascotte. He wears a uni
form and takes part in the preliminary
practice. attracting a great deal of atten-
tion. The team leaves Cleveland at IL
O'Clock tonight. and will play two games
lin the first ald Anderson the second. Score
