Minneapolis, by close fielding, won its
second straight game from st. Paul yester-
day, in the presence of about 5000 people,
of whom, perhaps, 200 were from the
Sanity City. For the second time, also,
Minneapolis won in spite OF the umpire,

While Minneapolis had but five safe hits,
they hammered Duryea hard, but the long
hits were high and were captured III the
field. Jevne distinguished himself III this
regard. taking five long flies nearly every
one of which was difficult running catch.
While st. Paul has six hits to its credit,
two were clear scratches one having really
been a little fly, captured by SOwderS, and
the other an easy grounder to first, for which

THE Run GETTING
began in the first inning, Skaters drop of
McShannic's liner and O'Brien'S hit yielding
one rum In the third, hits by Murphy and
Shafer and steal brought in an earned
run and tied the score. In the fifth, Tray
was given a base on balls, and after two
men mad gone out, Wilmot sent him home
on three Dagger and was himself batted
home by O'Brien. In the sixth, Murphy
got base on balls. Adams muffed Skaters
high fly, and wild pitch sent the men
ahead base. O'Rouke struck out and was
thrown out at first, but Trays throw to

Shafer and Murphy scored, tieing the game
Pickett's long hit to left field was ,mbled
by Wilmot landing him on second, wide
pitch bringing him home with the winning
run. AS Sage went for the ball, Murphy
ran across the line and was fined by the
umpire, and justly, too. This ended the
scoring, the remainder of the game being
remarkable for sharp work. In the sixth
inning,
A GREAT KICK OCCURRED.
O'Brien hit safely and took second on

and the latter feded the ball to second and
put O'Bren out for a double play. Jevne
stopped running when his fly was caught
until howled at by the coacher. when he
went to first. where Tindill called him safe,
declaring Sowders had scooped the ball.
The decision was called outrageous, and for
time the excitement ran nigh. If Sowders
had scooped the ball, he certainly would
have thrown O'Brien out at third and, this.
with the fact that Jevne stopped run
ming, was sufficient evidence that it was a
fly catch. No other umpire could be gotten,
and the game went ON, with O'Brien safe
on third and Jevne on first, and the latter
credited with a base hit. However, Tray
and Sage were easily disposed of and the
result was not affected. The score fol-
