TOO FLY FOR SPIDERS
Cleveland Went Away Last Night,
Leaving n 12-to-7 Defeat
ehfnd Them.

Patsy Tebeau and his Temple-cup winners
went to Cincinnati last evening with con-
siderabIy more respect for the champions OF
the Western League than they had prior to
yesterdays game. The indianapolis men
went right after Wallace's curves from the
start and he had hard work heading them
of in the first inning. They showed a dis
position right then and there to make the
game safe. As a matter of fact they never
were headed and finished with uns to spare.
Only seven innings were played. as the
Cleveiands had to. catch the 6:25 train for
Cincinnati, where they play to-day.
Cne champions put up a nice, clean, hard
hitting game all through. The only man
who erred was White at short. Phillips
pitched five innings, the visitors getting
nine hits in hat time and earning five of
their seven runs. He did not let himself
out, however. Manager Watkins having told
him not TO do so. Phillips will need his
strength for Detroit either tomorrow or
Thursday. Cross pitched the last two inn
ings and thinner was the only batsman who
hit him safely. Cuppy, one of C~leveland's
crack pitchers, was put in the box and Jared
little better than Wallace. He was hit for
four singles and a double. The champions
had their big bats out yesterday sure
Hogriever set the pace with a three-bagger
to right, Mccarthy followed with a single,

made the circuit on Shearon's tumble OF his
hit and Connor's sacrifice. Mccormick
struck out and McCauley was retired at
first. Then Cleveland took a whirl with the
stick. Burkett, the National Leagues
champion hitter, hit to left for a base. Nc
Carr reached. first on balls and Chids placed
one in right center for two bases, scoring
both men. The next three men were easily
retired.
In the third Stewart got a base on balls
and Wood hit to the right center fence for p
home run. The next two men went out.

error by Childs-a low, snap throw or a ball
