A Fine Exhibition,

Minneapolis indicated herself and the
promises of her management by beating
Duluth yesterday afternoon in the finest
game yet played on the home grounds, if
not in the league, this season. Two
Thousand spectators saw the game and en-
dured the fearful heat for the sake of the
| sharp, brilliant play which characterized it.
Minneapolis won the game on its merits,
outplaylng Duluth at every point. Two
pitchers were hammered out of the box
though sharp play by Duluth kept the hits
down. At the end of the fourth inning
Watson was knocked sick and compelled to
quit. Dillon sat On the bench, in his uni
form, ready to play, but the management
took Baldwin out of the grand stand and
dressed him up to pitch. Minneapolis
would not consent to this and Duluth
packed its bats ready to leave, but when
assured the game would be given against
them and they would forfeit their guaran-
tee money, they came back put Dillon in
center field and Masran in the box, and the
game went on. The home battery was
S0wders and Weber and Duluth could do
little at the stick, their scattering hits
yielding two runs.
