| by score of six to one. Gardner
pitching fine ball, supported by his
teammates, held the Indians to
single score. In the third inning, with
the bases full and none out, the Lodles
showed the baseball in them by pulling
themselves out of the hole without all
lowing single score. At no time in
the game were the Indians dangerous.

man while taking first. Whitman
thinking the ball is hurt, nurses it un-
der his arm until Grant takes lead
off first, and by quick throw to
Johnson puts him out. Basner splits
his bat when flying out to Johnson.
some baseball fan in the
grandstand sent Captain Grant mes
sage by slow freight, saying that the
ball was not in play after he was hit,
until it had been in the pitchers
hands, and that the trick play from
Whitman to Johnson was illegal. The
Indians, instead of sending polite
but firm note to Umpire Carlin de-
clare legal holiday and personally
present their kicks. TIE umpire, how
ever, not only declared incident closed,
but forgotten, and play is resumed,
Penock flies out to Snow. No runs.
