NEVER A CHANCE TO WIN.
How Toledo Failed to Get Into Yes
terday,s Game.

Fisher came pretty near smashing some
pitching records yesterday. Had ii not
been for Roats error in the fifth inning
Toledo would have suffered shut-out and
the chances are that the Indianapolis
pitcher would not have allowed the men
from the lake region a hit. Those two
they picked up in the ninth wouldn't have
come so easy had Fisher been keyed up to
the shut-out point. 1t was a remarkably
fine exhibition of pitching, and very few
Toledoans reached first base. Just thirty
three. OF them faced Fisher during the nine
innings, and but eight crossed the initial
bag in safety. OF these eight two reached
first by forcing runners out at second and
but two got as far as second, one of whom
scored. Ii was a fine day for Anderson's
pride. and not his first one this season,
either. He gave only two bases on balls.
and received the hot end of it from umpire
Batttn several times during the game That
individual does not appear to have i'm
proved during his absence and that same
old fault of continually giving Indianap-
oils the worst of it is painfully noticeable.
Fisher was admirably supported by Nc
earthly and Hogan, they having several
beautiful running catches. Caravan played
right field. and was thoroughly at home
there. Newell and Glenalvin did some cley-
er work. picking up everything that came
along. The way the boys ran bases was
especially good to look at. Goar, a young
pitcher from some place in Indiana made
his first appearance in the box for the
visitors. He pitched good ball, being par
ticularly effective at several stages where
hit meant two runs. He seems TO have
plenty of speed. and as soon as he can
control the ball little better should prove
a winner for Carney's men, They did not
support him very we'll yesterday, or he
would have made much better showing
He struck out seven, Newell being twice a
victim. 1t can be said however, that New
ellis failure to hit the hall with his ac-
customed vigor was largely due to his in
Jured thumb, which prevents him from get
ting firm hold on the bat. Indianapolis
had men enough on bases to have piled 'up
a good many runs, and il is greatly to
Goar's credit that they failed to do so.
With the exception of one very bad throw
