INDIANS WIN FROM GRAYS Woodley's Fast Ones Mystify Gray Batters;, Clean, Fast Game Won by Score of 4 to 2. Today's Game Between Indians and Pirates The Indians bested the Grays yes terday by the score of 4 to 2 in what was one of the classiest and snap piest games ever played on an Eliz abeth City diamond. Both teams played real baseball, and there were few errors to mar the contest. Woodley, pitching for the Indians, shot his well-known fast ones over the plate in a cool and steady way that never slackened, and Reld of the Grays was pretty effective most of the time, the ten hits of the In dians being scattered, so that not more than one run was scored in any Inning. The whole game was clean and well played by both aggrega tions, though the Indians had the better of it after the nrst Inning, in which Beveridge at second made the three putouts for the Grays. ThA flint Indian run was scored I .W nn Innlnir T)o ffl AV mm III B IU luo imunu o home from third when Henderson threw wide to first. They made a second run In the next inning, after Armstrong, having reached first In safety, store second and third and came home on Stanley's clean single to center. In the fifth Homan brought in the third run of the In dians, and in the seventh Armstrong crossed the plate with the fourth and final tally. The Grays Bcored the first of their two runs in the third Inning, wnen Reid singled to right and went to second on Pappendick's failure to field the ball. Cropsey, running for Reid, Bcored on Twlddy's one base hit. Their second run was scored in the seventh, Williams going to first on Homan's error, stealing sec ond, and having advanced to third on Reid's single scored on a ball which passed the catcher. Today's game between the Pirate and the Indians will take place at the usual time, and It's up to the Hrates to show some real class If they hope to hold down those fast and ferocious tomahawk artists.
