1T was dull sort of game. that of yes
terday, and the Reds were rather easily
beaten by the Western League champions.
Two thousand people extracted some salts
faction from the performance. For FIVE
innings the game was close, but it lacked
excitement and snap in spite of that fact.
When the umpiring has to be done by
two players. one representing each team. it
it pretty certain TO be unsatisfactory. That
of yesterday certainly was. Foreman did
the bulk of the umpiring and leaned quite
decidedly in several instances toward his
own team, which was not surprising. The
Reds made some pretty stiff kicks" one
or two of which were justified. However,
they were defeated fairly enough, being
outbatted more than two to one. 1t was
one of those loose ointed, after-season
games, and the Reds appeared to care very
little what the result was. Ritchey was a
disappointment. He played second, and did
nothing much worth mentioning. Corcoran
impressed the crowd more than any of the
Reds though Hoy made the catch of the
afternoon, Mccarthy having two or three
almost equally as brilliant.
RHINES EASILY POUNDED.
Phillips outpitched Rhines whose work,

ragged character. Indianapolis hit him
safely seventeen times, for a total of
twenty-eight bases, while Phillips got off
with eight hits, seven of them singles.
Hogrievers hit, steal and Mcfarland s

that he could not see MOTIFS fly, which
went as a two-bagger, though it should
have been an easy out. Wood hit to Cor

base and Motz came in. Flynn fouled to
catcher, but Phillips landed for a single

TWO THREE-BAGGERS.
Three baggers to left center by McCar-
thy and Motz in the fifth, followed by
Woods fly, Stewards base on balls, Flynn $
fly and singles by Phillips and Hogrlever
gave Indianapolis three more runs. In
their half the Reds scored couple on hits
by Beclkley, Corcoran and Ritchey, and
MOTIFS failure to- stop a throw from Hog
riever. which would have retired Corcoran.
These were the last runs Cincinnati could
get hold of. The Indianapolis men, on the
contrary, went on increasing their string,
Gray's two-bagger and McFarland's triple
in the sixth earning one, while in the
seventh Flynn's double Ph1llpsS three

to Corcoran. He was out at the plate on
the latter's quick return of the ball, but
Foreman called him safe. During the
wrangle over this decision Gray stole third

Mccarthy walked and Hoy made line

at the end of the seventh on account OF
darkness. Watkins's men could have given
the Reds back half a dozen runs and still
had them whipped. Score:
