COULDN'T HIT CROSS
TOLEDO DROPS ITS THIRD SUCCESS
GAME HERE.
Failed TO Score Until the seventh
Foreman Also Effective, but Was
Batted Hard in One Inning.

TT crop of pretty games with the right
sort Of results has been excellent this week
Baseball people here haven't the slightest
cause for complaint of late, and yester-
days fine exhibition topped matters off in
a way that sent two thousand people home
from the grounds rejoicing. 1t is satisfac-
tory III itself 70 win five straight games at
any time, but when three Of them are
from the Toledos, it adds a spice to the
thing. Cross was on his mettle yesterday,
and seemed determined to outpitch his fell
low-twirlers. For six innings not a Toledo
an got beyond second base. and but two OF
them that far. In fact, during that time
the visitors succeeded in getting only two
hits off Cross. one of them a feeble scratch.
and but six men reached first base, one
&C them on an error, three on balls and two
on hits. 1t looked like a shut-out. and
Cross worked hard to break the Western
League record. No club has yet been shut
out, and the Toledos therefore felt some
what relieved after getting those two runs
in the seventh and saving themselves the
added humiliation of being unabl to score.
Never during the game did they have the
ghost of a show TO win. They were clearly
outmatched from the start, and the result
was never in doubt after the second inning.

man pitched a great game. 1t was only
the better work Of Cross and the superior
fielding of the home team that enabled it
to win so easily. Summer had his head
cut by a foul tip from MOTIFS bat strik-
ing his mask in the third innings Play was
suspended for a short time, but he was
soon all right.
The star fielding feature Of the game was
a sensational catch by Gilks Of MOTIFS long
fly to left center in the seventh. In pulling
it down. after a tremendous run. the fielder
fell, but held the ball. The catch saved
a run, as there were two men out at the
time and one OF base. Both Conner and
Carney stopped some hot ones. and the
work I'm all quarters was as fine as one
could ask. Mills and Shields both have
clever plays to their credit, and one OF
the latter's two errors was excusable, be-
ing made on an attempt at a double play.

HOW IT WAS WON.
Indianapolis threw away a nance to
score in the first by trying to steal second
on Summers. Murphy, who was first up
hit the bali out to center for a base, and
was caught at second on a steal Just a mo-
ment before Henry trotted to first on balls.
The latter met q ofrnf1ar fata and whpn
INLAND threw MOTIFS grounder wild to first
there was a general expression of regret at
the lost chances. Dalrymple lifted a little
foul fly to Hatfield. Nothing was done in
the second, but in the third Shields started
the run getting with a base on balls. Cross
hit to center and Miller threw the ball in
badly. Shields reaching third. Murphy then
drove a safe one to left. scoring Shields and
sending Cross to third. He stole second,
Summers throwing over the base into CEN
ter field and allowing Cross to get in.
Henry landed the ball over Gilks's head
for three bases, sending Murphy hime. After
the latter surprised himself by missing the
next good ball. Dalrymple drove a hot
liner to Carney. which the latter stopped,
the ball into the right field safe and Henry
came In. Mills lifted a short fly to left
field. on which inland made a great catch,
retiring the side. In the fifth, with one out,
Henry was sent TO base on balls, and Motz
hit to the right-field fence for a home run.
The ball was heided very quickly and
reached the plate just a second after Motz
had crossed in safety. Connor made a fine
stop OF Dalrymple's hard hit grounder and
threw him out at first, and Westlake
struck out. After that Indianapolis did lit
tie with Foreman. whose excellent support
saved one run IN the seventh inning, as al
ready described. Gilks's catch preventing
was made off the Toledo pitcher, and that
by Cross, in the ninth inning, after two
men were out.
TOLEDO's THREE RUNS.
The first six Toledo innings were compar-
atively uneventful owing to Cross's effec-
tiveness. The fifth was relieved somewhat
by Cross catching INLAND mapping at first
after he had reached there on balls. Nc
Farland scratched out a little hit, but was
doubled with ummer on the latter's
grounder to Mills, the play being a very
pretty one. After Carney had gone out on
a foul fly to Motz in the seventh, Connor
was sent to first on balls and INLAND forced
him out at second by hitting TO Mills. the
grounder being too slow to complete a
double play. inland stole second and Nc
Farland hit a low line fly to left, which
Leidy ran for and succeeded in touching
but not in catching. 1t scored inland and
placed Mcfarland on second. Summers
then hit to center for a single, scoring Nc
Farland, and Foreman hit safely to left.
Hatfield trotted down to first on balls, and
with the bases filled, Gilks hit into Shields
hands, forcing Hatfield out at second and
ending the inning. Although with one cut
the visitors got a man TO base on balls i'm
the eighth, he was left there. Conner strik-
ing out and INLAND going out on a fly to
Dairymple. In the ninth they made a fee
bic, hfckering sort of a rally, which was
but the last gasp. Mcfarland got a base
on balls as a starter. Summers hit to Mills,
who made a great stop and threw McFar-
land out at second. but Shields tried to com
plete the double and, throwing over MOTIFS
head, allowed Summers TO reach second.
Foreman flew to Motz. but Hatfield hit out
a two-bagger to left, scoring Summers.
