The Minneapolis team was defeated
yesterday by Des Moines, after a stub
bornIy contested game. Umpire Bren-
mans work was equal to that of any
three of the visiting players, and was
the direct cause of the result of the
game. The Minneapolis team opened
the game by making four earned runs
in the first, on base on ball, a single by
Walsh, two-baggers by Jevne. Tebeau
and Nicholson, and Walsh's three-bag-
ger to deep right. After this inning
the home team was unable to do
any effective stick work until the
ninth, when they sized up Kennedy's
curves and batted out three runs.
Broughton made single and scored on
Jevne's second double. Patton knocked
a cosy fly to StearnS, who dropped it.
Hawes knocked terrific liner over
short and brought Patton and
Jevne both in. This settled the
run-getting for Minneapolis and made
the score to s in favor of
Manager GOoding's aggregation OF un-
lucky bali toSsers. Itwas too much for
them to stand, and, after two chances
were not accepted to put Morton out,
Sage made long drive over the gar

spectators did not say word, but left
the grounds as quickly as possible: The
work of Alvord, Jevne, Stearns, Walsh,
Tebeau and Hawes was the feature of
the game. The attendance was quite
