Cincinnati Team Lost Yesterday's Game by
One Run.
Indianapolis had q taste of baseball yes
terday as it Is played b. the teams of the
twelve-club League. the talent of II. LOUIS
and Cincinnati being loaned for the oeca-
sion. The base ball business. which Dlos-
SONS in the spring and dies in the fall. has
got along to the sere and yellow leaf
period, when the players. IN frayed and
weather beaten uniforms and with q Ia
mentsble absence of life and ginger, do
their parts with the least possible show of
vitality that will keep them on the salary
list until the season closes.
The reason for the transfer of yesterdays
RSme to this city is the fact that the busi-
ness in the larger cities has become un-
profitable from diminished attendance. 1t
always does at this period of the year. The
most confirmed ball crank will become sur
feited. the story of base hits. fouls. dies
and home-runs becomes an Oft-told tale.
and takes on u chestnuty flavor. Another
thing that contributes to the general IN
difference 10 the fact that the champion
ship honorsa are settled, and the remainder
of the season VIII accomplish little in shift
ing the Clubs from the order OF the posi-
tons they now occupy.
indianapolis ball enthusiasts were glad
OF another opportunity to witness q game
of professional ball, but there was not the
patronage that will warrant the manage
ment of other ball teams in selecting In
d~ianapolis as the place 70 finish the season
on n paying basis The attendance did not
exceed eight hundred.
The game was called promptly at o'clock,
with Cincinnati ut the bat. Holiday was
given a base by virtue of Geninss error.
but went out in an effort TO purloin second.
Latham raped out a hit. and was moved
TO third on BrowDlng's two-base hit.
Latham then scored on q wild pitch, and
the Gladiator came home on a sacrifice.
The young men from ST. Louis scored q
run in the first inning on Werden's two
base hit and Caruthers's single. Camps
home-run in the second tied the score. By
the time the Red Legs had drawn blanks in
the second. third ami fourth innings ST.
Louis had out hits and runs
enough 10 give her o seemingly sale lead.
In the third inning Werden. for 81. Louis,
went out on q foul to third base. Caruthers
and Brodie hit safely aud Morlarity went
out on q fly to center. Then followed q
tumble by Browning of Buckeyes long
drive. q two-base hit by Camp and a single
howed four runs To the credit of ST. Louis.
Another was added in the fourth
inning by a base hit and q stolen base by
Caruthers sndb base hit by Brodie. In the

Dagger by Vaughn. In her half of the sixth
Cincinnati closed the gap entirely.
Smith knocked out q two-base hit, was
move up to third on Camps tumble
of Murphy's drive and scored on
Holidays sacrifice after Holiday had
gon out from tirst to third. and Latham
pranced IN to the plate with his first at
tempt at mirthfulness. His antics put the
crowd In a good humor and aroused the
first genuine bat of interest and animation
of the day. Selecting ball TO his liking,
the dude banged it in the direc-
tIon of Genins. who. instead of
throwing Latham out at first, at
tempted TO catch Murphy between third
and home. 1t was q close and exciting
chase and Latham had got round To third
base when q wild throw by the ST. Lonis
catcher saved Murphy and allowed both
him and Latham to score. Uproarious
cheers greeted the play and the dude
evinced his delight in q jig and u success
sion of summersanlts. In her half of the
sixth ST. Louis added another run to her
score on Werden's base hit and Caruthers's
long drive to right field. Another resulted
in the seventh from Camps SINGLE. and hits
by Briggs and Crooks.
With two to tie Holiday led off in the
ninth with a rafting two-base drive. but
was caught between second and third on
Genins's feInt TO throw out Latham ar
first. Latham stole second and third and
scored on the catch of Browning's long
foul fly TO left. Hoover was thrown ont
from second to first and the game was over
