OF THE SEASON
TOLEDO KNOCKED OUT AGAIN IN A
BEAUTIFUL GAME.
Exciting Work at the Ffnish-Fourth
Straight for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
ern League Pitcher signed.

The six hundred people who, in the face
of al impending storm, went to the ball
grounds yesterday were rewarded with
what was, by all odds, the prettiest and
most exciting game OF the season. They also
had the satisfaction Of seeing Indianapolis
win its fourth straight game by again de-
feating Toledo. The contest abounded in
good playing and excitement. and was not
out OF danger until the last man had been
retired in the last half of the ninth inning.
Both Camp and Hughey were effectivs. but
the former had a shade the best Of IL. and,
although in the seventh inning he forced
in a run with a base on balls, he kept his
head. and, with the bases full. retired the
side without further damage. Tt was a crit
zeal moment, and pretty nearly everybody
was ready to give 1t up right there. Aside
from the excellent pitching, the principal
fielding features were a fine running catch
by Dalrymple of Miller's short center-ield
fly in the fifth and Carney's good stop of
D~alrymple's hard hit grounder in the same
inning. Camp was admirably supported, the
home teams only error being Westlake's
tumble in the third. Gray's leg is still both
ering him. and Westlatke had to play third
again. His general work at that base was

chances. Still, it is to be hoped Gray will
be able to resume his position to-day.
Shields played a nice game at second, and
the outfeld work was fine. Toledo's work
in the field was good up to the eighth in
ming. when three of their five errors. aided
by some lucky hitting, won the game for
Indianapolis. After three innings had been
played play was suspended on account of

further interruption.

a driving rain, they picked up their first

In the sixth inning Carney, who was the
first man up. hit to right for a clean
retired in order. The seventh was the in
ming which made the crowd hold its breath,
and INDIANAPOLIS got off very easy: con-
a hard drive to left for two bases, and

corners. With nobody out and the bases
was indescribable. The only noise that
could be heard was the continuous and tire
less coaching of the Toledo men, who
thought their opportunity had come to nail
monotonous cry, Peanuts, chewing gum,
cigars" Miller stepped TO the plate, and
1t was dollars to doughnuts he would hit
the ball safe. To the crowds delight, how
ever, he made three ineffective lungeS at
the sphere, and walked in a dazed sort of
a manner to the bench. After a wild out
burst the crowd resumed holding its breath,
for Carney, who had made a home run
the inning before, was at bat. After a
tain popped up a high foul fly to Murphy,
who made a great catch of il, and another
triumphant cheer went up from the now
somewhat hopeful spectators. There was a
groan of anguish. however. as Conner was
sent to first on balls, forcing in Hughey,
which gave Toledo the lead, and which, at
that stage, seemed worth half a dozen in
the earlier innings. The bases were still
filled, when INLAND hit a wicked g%rounder

mud together. Westiake falling on the To

safe drive to center everybody took heart.
Leidy flew to Miller, but Shields hit a fast
ground ball which went right through Nj
land into left field and sent Mills to third.
Camp then got a base on balls, and the con-
ditions of the previous exciting inning were
reversed. it being Indianapolis's turn to
smile this time. Murphy then drove a
long foul fly to right field. which McFar-
land made the mistake of his life in catch
ing, Tor Mills scored the tie run on the
out and the other men each moved up a
base Mcfarland threw home. but the ball
bounded high over the heads of the Toledo
players who had run In to back up. and
Shields crossed the plate before they re-
covered it. Here is where the pent-up en-
thusiasm Of the crowd let go, and there
was no immediate CESSATION, for Henry
lifted n long line fly to right, which Nc
Farland misjudged slightly. When he re-
covered himself he made a hard effort to
get II, but the ball struck the ground in
front of his outstretched hanSs, going far

when Mcfarland made another throw that,
like the first, bounded over the uplifted
hands of the Ohio men. MotZ got a base
on balls, but Dalrymple lifted a foul fly
to catcher and. the fun was over. Sharp
vented Toledo from getting anybody TO
base. In the ninth Westlake got a life on
