The Bostons, tits said. have already played
to more than 100000 people.
Gray was left at home by Columbus. That
pitcher has very sore arm.
Hamilton has been switched to center field
feft. Ha the Boston team and Duffy has gone to
Kid Gleason says that never again will
he pitch. Ten years of it was enough for
him.
Indianapolis jumps from Milwaukee to
Kansas City, and then to Minneapolis. Nice
little jaunts, these
The Columbus papers are roasting" their
team good and hard. Cantillon is coming in
for his share of 1t. The fans think he is
too slow at first and say that he shirks hard
hit balls.
Chicago took both Detroit and Grand Rap
IDS on for an afternoons exercise, Sunday,
and defeated them by scores Of IA to 5 and IA
to O. respectively. 1t was easy for Anson's
Colts, who found neither team half as much
trouble as Indianapolis.
Baltimore was credited with 1873 sacrifice
players made but fifty-seven, and this, ii is
claimed, Is one of the big reasons why the
Orioles won the pennant the second time
and why the Reds finished so slow in the
race.
Here is the way the Columbus baseball
writers are dishing 1t up for Tom Lotus on
that Sunday game between his team and
Indianapolis: 1T was not the errors alone
the score cannot furnish an adequate idea
but wholesome lay-down by the entire ag-
gregatiOn styled Senators that did the Dusl-
ness. At no stage Of the proceedings were
they within hailing distance Of the cham
pions and the majority of the 5000 present
left the grounds in the seventh inning. If
Mr.. Lotus wishes to make a mark in this
town he will be obliged to furnish a diff
ferent article of ball than that which he
showed up yesterday. Even catcher Wilson
acknowledged before the grand stand that he
was sick of trying TO push matters"
The Columbus Journal Of Monday has the
following about Phillips: ''One week ago to-
day the Indianapolis champions made their
first visit TO Columbus and large, nice-look-
ing gentleman, with a pale complexion and
blonde hair, essayed the role of pitcher. so
kindly did the Columbus players take to his
curves that Manager Watkins set the twirl-
er on the bench after the game had been
taken well in hand by the Senator'S. Yester-
day the same teams met on the Columbus
grounds and the same blonde young man.
Phillips by name, who evidently had been
enjoying a much-needed rest, again faced
the Columbus batsmen. Phillips was looking
much better and stronger than on his pre-
vious appearance before a Columbus crowd,
and all who saw him pitch that game yes
terday are willing to go before a. notary
and swear that he certainly did not belle MS
looks. Phillips has an aggravatingly slow
preparatory movement, but when he does
let go of the ball il "whizzes" through the
space between the pitchers position and
home plate with a rapidity ,hat causes bat
ters to groan at the very thought of wnat
would happen to them If ii struck them"

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MILWAUKEE,, May 12.-But for great
catch by shortstop Wetterer in the ninth in
ming to-day Indianapolis would have tied the
score and very likely won the game. When
the catch was made the score stood 8 to
in favor of Milwaukee. and Stewart was on
second and Motz on first. There were two out
and Wood hit fly TO left center. Nine
times out OF ten the hit would have been
safe, but Wetterer turned and ran back at
full speed and got to the ball just as 1t was
about to drop safe, and the catch retired the
side. If the ball had dropped to the
ground Stewart would have scored and Motz
might have crossed the plate. also, with the
winning run. While both teams hit the ball
hard, neither seemed to have much luck in
hitting into safe territory. Woods work be-
hind the bat was very poor. and his poor
throwing to bases gave the Milwaukees two
of their six runs.

not score. In the first Milwaukee got In one.

forced Roat out at second. Stewart hit for
base and Motz scored both Mccarthy and
Stewart with three-base drive to right CEN

North and the South in the war for the
Union that would in the least disturb the
happy relations that now exist between
