curve baller hurled the sphere in
amazing style. He allowed only
three hits in eight innings, got six
strikeouts to his credit and issued
no walks. He fairly dazzled the
enemy.
But the Indians, striving hard,
couldn't break through for run off

markers made by Toledo in the first
stanza stood w all the way.
The Indiar. had four bright
chances to score had timely hit
gone through. A double play ruined
the locals in the opening round and
in the third Spencer led off with

Fine stop by Gaffney
In the fourth the Tribe filled the
bases with two gone. but hopes were
snuffed wher Gafney broke down
Spencer's hotshot in time to get a
force-out at second. 1t was that
Gaffney stop that practically elm

In the fifth Warstler took a
chance and tried to score from third
on a short fly to right, but Jake
Jacobson's arm proved better than
the Indians figured and Warstler
was cut down at the plate.
Russell walked to open the sixth
and was left on first. In fact the
Indians had nine men left to two

With the exception of the exhibit
ton game with the Pittsburgh
Pirates here Monday, the Indians
today were to make their last home
appearance until after they visit
Louisville and make a complete
swing around the western half of
the A. A.
1t was the finale with the Toledo
Hens today and the series stood one
victory apiece before the wind-up
tilt.
Jake Supported Well
A beautiful game was staged Fri
day, ladies and kids day, with To-
ledo winning, 2 to 0, the row of
ciphers being handed the league
leaders by old Jake Pfeffffer. who re-
ceived fine support and held the
Betzels to five hits. The veteran is
sued six walks, but he was smart
and frightened when danger threat
ened, or his mates pulled him
through with a snappy play.
The contest was lost in the first
inning, with Schupp on the Tribe
mound and it was of Schupp the
Hens scored their two runs on three
hits and two sacrifices. But for
Warstlers failure to cover second
in Gaffney's bunt, the Hens would
have been held to single tally.

Women'S Play.
BY ROBERT C. DOWSON,

WIMBLEDON, England, June 30.
Helen Wills, Americas lone hope
in the all-England tennis champion
ships as far as the womens singles
are concerned, was to meet TODAY
the stiffest opposition she has vet
encountered in the person of Mrs.
Holcroft Watson of Great Britain.
The California girl still was
figured certain winner of the title,
although Mrs. Watson and Senorita
D'Alvarez Of Spain were expected to
make Helen Hustle.
In the mems singles, the situation
is even more precarious, for William
T. Tilden, captain of the American
Davis Cup team, and John Hen
Messy of Indianapolis, are the only
surviving players from the United
States, and have their hands full
holding their own with the strong
array of tennis warriors from
France.
The French are expected to have
six of the eight men in the quarter
finals and are out to establish an
all French final, as was the case
last year at Wimbledon.
Tilden today was to meet Pierre
Landry for a place in the last eight
and was a strong favorite. After
disposing of Landry the American
ace will have to meet Jean Borotra,
the Basque, who is expected to de-
feat young Crawford of Australia,
today.
Another impending match at
tracing not a little interest, is the
quarter-f final battle between Hen
Messy and Henri Cochet, the de-
Tending Wimbledon champion. The
smiling young American downed
Cochet in a f1ve-set battle in the
United States last year and is looked
upon as a dangerous threat in this
