Prospects Are Bright for
Indoor Baseball League

AT a meeting held in one Of the club
rooms of the Y NJ. c. A. plans for the
formation of an indoor baseball league
were formed, and 1t is now assured that
at least one six-club league will be oper-
ating here this winter.
II has been more than six years since
Washington has been able to boast OF
such a league, and the promoters think
the time is ripe for the revival of this
once popular sport.
Mr. Thatcher. who presided, declared
he had never been present at a more
enthusiastic meeting, and, considering the
fact that # was informal and no definite
action was to be taken. he said that the
number of clubs represented greatly ex-
ceeded his expectations. Those present
wre Messrs. Thatcher, chairman: Jones,
Petworth. Beckett, Y. NJ. c. a; OCon-
nor, Aloysius; Langley. Corcoran Cadets; ;
Harrison and Foley, Memorial A. c.. and
Beaulac and Croghan. Carroll Institute
All OF these delegates promised to enter
teams representing their respective clubs,
and Messrs. Haas, OF Ingram, and Wood.

they were anxious to enter teams. The
basketball outlook was then talked over
and plans drawn for the coming cam
paign.
1t was decided that the season should
open during the week of November s
and close not later than the middle of
February. so that the city and South
Atlantic championship could he decided
by the 1st of March.
The teams which will likely receive

when these old rivals get together.

GREGG IS IN THE LEAD.
Cleveland SOuthpaw Pitches Most
Small Hit Games.

The pitching OF four-hit games was
Vean Gregg's speciality during the 1911
season. as the Cleveland left-hander
pitched eight games, in each of which
his adversaries made only four safe ones.
He also worked three ive-hit games,
making total of eleven for the Coast
wonder. Ed Walsh was second, with
eight small-hit affairs. while Johnson.
Plank, Morgan, and White were tied,
with seven apiece.
Russell Ford. the great "spitbalr'
pitcher. had but six, the same number
as Joe Wood, he OF the phenomenal
speed, and Jim Scott Gene Knapp had
five to his credit, while Jack Coombs
had only four. But, at that, Coombs
had twice as many as Chief Bender, who
led the league pitchera

NOTES OF THE GAME.

The arrangements for the newspa per
men in the press box were ideal There
were exactly go baseball reporters on
the job and everybody had a seat and a
place to write. In New York the entire
gang was packed in like sardines.
Everybody was uncomfortable and far
from happy.
Owing to Sundays rain. the field was
trihe heavy and balls hit TO the out
field usually stuck where they landed.
The crowd let out a yell Of surprise
when Announcer Phillips shouted that
Plank would be in the box for the
champions. II was generally supposed
that Jack Coombs would work.
Tom Connolly was behind the bat,
Brennan on the bases, Dineen in right
field. and KLEIN in left.
PIanks first ball to Devore was a
pretty strike on the outside corner Of
the plate.
Devore threw up both hands and kick
ed like a Texas steer upon being called
out on strikes.
with three balls and two strikes on
him in the first. Larry Doyle sent up a
long fly to Lord. The latter stumbled
and fell on one knee. but recovered in
time to catch the ball.
Snodgass was hit by pitched ball

pants.
Marquard's first pitch was a ball.
The first ball Marquard pitched to Col
lfns was a weird heave, and shot through
Chief Meyers legs at a mile-a-minute
clip. All Lord had to do was to walk
home.
When IL looked like both Plank and
Marquard were due for a humping early
in the game, Connie Mack had Cy Nor

en- him without trouble then. by merely
allowing him to beat himself, but they
only got one run, and it came near
beating them.
, The crowd was the greatest that ever
saw a ball game in Philadelphia, and
the scene was a brilliant and inspiring
one The attendance figures fell far be-
low expectations, yet the money piled
up until it was certain that without
another penny, the players Will divide
more than any two clubs ever split up.
The rush was for the cheap seats. and
there still was room in the stands when
play started.
Crowd Really ApathetIc.
1t was about the quietest and most Sc
date crowd that ever saw a game, and
it was evident that the tickets and other
scandals that have foated around the
last few days had had its effect. The
scalpers were loaded up with tickets and
the public refused to fall, so that only a
few over 5000 persons paid admission to
the park. The crowd, too. was strangely
apathetic. Only once during the rather
uninteresting and beautifully pitched
game did the enthusiasm break loose, and
that was in the sixth, when Bakers
great bingle broke up the game.
At all times the crowd was about as
quiet as sunset In a country graveyard.
The fans had been shut out either by
high prices or by scalpers, and the
crowd seemed scarcely interested in the
outcome There was not one healthy
howl at an umpire during the game.
The Giants were a badly discouraged
crowd tonight. The team seemed broken
and they were quarreling among them
selves when they started home.
Stuffy McInnis is out OF the series for
good. An X-ray photograph OF his dam
aged arm showed that a bone is frac-
tured, and he gave up hope Of playing
at all.

When it is taken into consideration
that Frank Baker a lefthand hitter. was
able to connect with one Of Marquard's s
shoots for a home run, the theory that
Iefthand batsmen are not effective
against southpaw twirling is certainly
disproved. The ball Baker hit was a
high curve. The batsman gauged it per-
fectly and caught the sphere on the busi-
ness end of his bat.
