A punching of hits in the first two
innings, and an unfair umpire, won
the game for Toledo yesterday after
noon, after ten innings. Poole, the
pride of the home team, couldn't get
down to steady work, and the Toledos
took advantage of the fact to fatten
their batting averages. 1t is the first
game Eddie has lost this season.
One out of seven, though, is not a
bad record. Stupid base running also
had to do with the defeat.
But the umpire. The gentleman's
name is Cook Mr. Cook. But per-
haps the gentleman is blind, for moth
ing short of that could account for the
greater number of his decisions. They
were simply awful Although some
one or two against the visitors were
very close, it was the home team that
got the raw end of it to such an extent
that it cost them the game. How he
ever conceived the idea that he could
umpire a game of ball can never be
guessed, but one thing is easily seen,
and that is that he must have hor-
rible drag with President Powell in
order to hold his job a minute.
Toledo went to bat first. They start
ed off piling up talleys Immediately
when they saw that Eddie was giving
a little party for a minute. Hartman
cracked out clean single over second.
Kane flied out to Pequinney. Then
the avalanche struck. Beck hit TO
right, advancing Hartman to third.
Tuck Turner, the Mud Hens new first
baseman from Denver, hit to left, scor-
ing Hartman. Smith hit to Rothermel,
who retired Beck at second. Gilks'
hit into right center scored Turner,
and Smith came in on Griffin's single,
totaling three runs. Hanaford proved
an easy out. In the second, after But
Ter was out, Hartman was hit by a
ball Kane doubled, advancing Hart
man to third. Beck hit to center, scor-
ing Hartman Turner flied ont to
Meaney. Smith singled, scoring Kane.
Gilks retired the side. From this on
until the ninth Poole settled down, not
allowing a single hit. In the ninth,
Turner got a scratch hit with two men
on bases, but they all died there. The
visitors won the game in the tenth.
. CT As got a life on RothermePs error,
and it won the game. Griffin sacri-
feed, advancing Gilks to second.
Hanaford flied out to Turner. Butler
stepped up. 1t looked like easy money
for Eddie, but the big Mud Hen won
his own game. He drove a beautiful
hit into center and Gilks beat the bar
home, winning the game. Butler was
retired at second on Hartman's hit to
Rothermel.
The home club started run-makine
In the first. Rothermel drew base on
balls and went to third on Meaney's
hit to right Taylor fled out to Kane
Lyons drove out a two-bagger 20 the
center field fence, scoring Rothermel
and Meaney. In the fourth Turner
doubled, reaching second on Congal-
tons sacrifice. Pequinney's hit to
vignC scored Turner. Boyd was hit by
q ball. Poole drove a liner over Sec
ond, but Beck was there for it and
made a double play unassisted Wheel
Ing tied the score in the seventh. Rit-
ter, who was substituted in the sixth
for Boyd, who was injured by being
struck with the ball in the fourth, hit
nice one to left Poole flied out to
Gilks. Rothermel singled. Meaney S
two-bagger brought in Ritter. Taylor
batted in Rothermels place, and then
the side was retired. After this
Wheeling got but one hit.
The features of the game were the
fielding of Rothermel for Wheeling
and Hartman for Toledo. Rothermel
made three Of the most wonderful stops
ever seen on the home grounds.
The score:
