Toledo played a plucky and lucky up
hill game yesterday afternoon at the
Island park, winning in eleven innings
from the stogies., 1t should have been
q win for the local team in nine innings.
but In the ninth. with two Toledo bats
men out, Cote mgtred . foul ay OF
Gates bat. giving the latter an Oppor-
tunlty to hit out, which he did to the
extent of three bases, scoring Ewing.
and then hit brought the hard-hitting
pitcher home with the tieing run. The
visitors then won out In the eleventh,
neither side having scored in the tenth,
but only through more luck than the
law allows even a base ball team from
the banks OF the Muumee. With GiIks
an out to Dobbs, and Ewing retired,
from Leahy to Cote; Arthur hit out for
a base. Gates again distinguished him
self hitting safe to center field. Dobbs
made a quick return Of the ball to
Leahy, who threw to Niles for what
should have been an easy out that
would have left the game tie, but the
throw was bad, the ball striking Ewing
in the,back and rolling OF toward the
grand stand, and allowing Ewing to
score the winning run. It was very
hard luck story.
Gates and Parviu were the opposing
twirlers, and both were effective, but
most OF the hits off ParviI were made
after chances had been given to retire
the opposing side. Porviu distinguished
(?) himself by striking out four times,
but finally In the eleventh he hit down
10 second for an out. The crowd had
fun with itself by cheering wildly over
the unexpected skill Bones" displayed
with the stick
The game was notable for some very
fast feldlng,-and for some that wasn't
fast. In the second inning, Cote hit
cannon-shot liner straight at Gates
that,looked as safe as Ohio is for Nash
this fall, but Gates had his nerve, stuck
out hIs gloved. hand and made what was
really remarkable stop. In the ninth
GHks hit fast one over Parvin that
had ali the earmarks of a base hit. but
Leahy's wonderful stop and snap threw
to Cote retired Bob"

pectedly dropped the ball after a nice
run for 1t, giving Niles two bases

close he could throw to the top Of his
head and very accommodatingly
knocked OF his cap. and ''DonnIe"

beautiful feet first slide Lyons scored

should have stayed at second. but In

yellow work, indeed. and probably lost
the game to Wheeling.
