The Morning Game.


The morning game was merely a walk
over for Indianapolis, the visitors not even
giving the leaders a fair amount OF exer-
else. Petty. who looks fatter in a Grand
Rapids uniform than IN that OF Toledo.
was in the box for Deacon Ellis's men. and
kept his catcher busy locating the ball. He
threw IL all around the plate and when he
located that important object MOTIFS men
hit 1t out very freely. They simply galloped
away with the game in the third inning
and finished in walk. Fisher was in his
usual form and in six innings only four
yellow legs reached first, none of them
getting beyond that hags Only one hit was
made In that time. In the seventh Cassidy
managed 10 place a ball just out Of Me-
carthy's reach for three bases and scored
on Zahner's single. which bounded wild
over NewelPs head. The side was then easi-
ly retired. A single by George and a double
by Cassidy earned the visitors another in
the eighth and callopy's long hit to the
right center fence was good for a home
run in.the ninth.
Newell made some fine one-handed stops
and the infieid work was sharp and clean
with the single exception OF Glenalvins S
bad throw in the seventh. This was more
an error of judgment than anything else,
for he could easily have caught Wheelock
at hrst, while Zahner was close to second
whea Glen tossed the ball wide TO New
ell. The mistake cost nothing however
but spoiled an errorless game for Indian
apolis.
The prettiest pay of the game was a
jumping catch by Wheeiock in the NTH, of
hot line drive from Roat's bat George $
catch OF Glenalyin's long fly in the sew
cath was another feature. The visitors for
the most part. however. played loosely. and
this. coupled with the hard hitting OF the
leaders. rendered them easy victims. Hogan
Newell reached first when Petty let his
little grounder bound through him. Both
men scored on a passed ball which nobody
went after until too late Canavan got a
base on halls. but was caught stealing sec
oud and Mccarthy, after hitting safe was
put out in the same way. Niotz flew to
