Elmer Foster did fool 'em" yester-
day. He was first to bat for Minneap-
oils in the eighth and stepped to the
plate with the score tied, every man in
the grand stand sweating drops Of
blood. He had two strikes called on
him, and as Mr.. Pagan. the foxy South
DOW. sent third one twisting
over the plate, "Raz" pasted
it into the angle of the center-held
fence, and. by Sprinting such as was
never seen on a cinder path, made sec
ond about one-fiftieth of a second in adj
vance of the ball. He stole third with
another rush that caused the wind to
sigh through Dave Rowe's lambrequins,
ane then Mitchell. the tall pitcher, who
had hit for double and single, made
sacrifice to bring Foster home,
and came very near not DO
inc it. The ball sailed out
into deep right, and Foster hugged tie
sack until Tredway had gathered it.
then his white stockings began TO wink
with a lightning-like rapidity. Tired
way threw the ball on line for home,
and a beautiful throw it was, too, but
Elmer was more immediate than the
horsehide, and slid across the plate in
tOboggan attitude and the speed OF a
cannon ball Just before the ball got
there. making the ninth run for the
Millers.
The home team played faultless
fielding game for the first four innings.
and were pounding Pagan plenty, hav-
ing made five runs in the third. In
that inning Mitchell started out with a
single to left, and Pat Dugdale sent
one in the tracks of the first. Dannle
Minnehan followed with a scorcher to
center. and the bags were full when
"old side hosS' came to bat.
Joe knew what was expected
of him and began to feel for the ball

pitched to him. Having gotten his bear

and planted the ball in mud-hole near
the Brush Electric company'S works on
the river bank, bringing in four runs.
West struck out. and then Reddy Han
rahan followed up Miller's example by
pushing the ball over the fence.
At the opening of the last half OF the
fifth the score stood SIX to nothing, two
hits and passed ball having taken
Minnehan around the circle in the
Flour City half. Twineham and Pagan
both died at first and Dalrymple con-
signed himself to the same fate by
knocking grOunder to Hanrahan, but
that white horse. individual. was
feeling so elated over his home
run that he fumbled and fondled the
ball a while before throwing it to first,
spelling a shut-out that seemed to dis
hearten Mitchell, who gave the next
man a base on balls and allowed the
third to knock it over the fence, bring

the bail before Silch went out from
Miller 10 Minnehan. In the next inning
Reddy did it again, throwing short
to first and giving Dolan base. The
next man died on scratch hit, and then
two men made base hits off Mitchell,
who was being hit freely at that time.
DOian came home and then Mcclellan
struck out, and with two men out and
two on bases MoXie Hengle had to step
on his face and letTredway's grounder

Then was the time that Dave
Rowe got in his work driving the leather
far over the center field fence, bringing
in three men and tying the score.
Smith flew out to Miller. and the Den
yer men had made their last run, hav-
ing scored eight times without getting
an earned run, both the four-baggers
having been made after a chance had
been offered to retire the side. McClel-
Ian was the only Colorado man to reach
second in the next three innings. and
Fosters run won the game for the home
team.
Cusick gave the home team shade
the worst of it on one or two base de-
cisfons, but gave good satisfaction 9th
erwise. About 1,700 people witnessed
the contest. The score:
