The Cup Game Here To-Day.

The last game of the season will be
played at the Ohio-street grounds this aft
ernoon, beginning at o'clock. Both the
champions and the Columbus team arrived
last night and took good rest preparatory
to their fourth battle for the Free Press
cup to-day. Indianapolis has Won two of
three games played, and is going in TO finish
the struggle to-day and tomorrow Either
Foreman or Phillips will pitch, and Jones
is likely to be at the slab for Columbus.
Motz may be well enough to resume his
place at first. He has been lame for a
week but is anxious to get back into the
game for these final times. There will
probably be a big crowd of 'rooters" out
to help land the cup. The two teams Will
go to Columbus tonight for the fifth game
Tomorrow Indianapolis should make it
three straight to-day, especially as it is the
closing game of the season.
