Hagan gave them an opportunity to
cross the plate. 1t has been suggested
that the fact that umpires are appointed

Minneapolis put in Pitcher Nicholson,
who was released by Chicago without q
trial, and it was intensely annoying to
the Wicked City aggregation to observe
the ease with which he batfled their
heaviest hitters. Four clean hits were
made off his delivery, but no two of
no runs. Minneapolis got the
same number of hits from Sprague,
but they punched them, and
Sprague'S wildness, aided by
errors in the field, gave two OF the four
runs. The hits were made just as they
were needed, aid two of the runs were
earned. Minneapolis fielded superbIy.

to escape them, while McCullom spread
himself well over his garden and made
two difficult catches. Cal Broughton

stole second. Ilanrahan'S error gave
Walsh life and sacrifice would have
meant runs, but Gallagher struck out
