THE FIRST GAME WON.
III z II TSI U.t ME- W ON.
The Millers Give the Brewers a
ThraShinO

1hrashing.
The postponed meeting of the Mime
apolis and Milwaukee teams was held
at the new ball park, Minneapolis. at
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Duke,
who did the twirling for Min
neapolis. was in good form. and
Minneapolis raised its average
by winning a very interesting
game from the Brewers. Milwaukee
put Freeman. its $1,000 pitcher. in the
box. and in the fifth inning ne, with the
base full, made two palpable balkS,
W hich let in two runs. The bases on
balls were rather more seldom in his
record than in that of Duke, however,
and the two twirlers struck out an
game was called at O'Clock,
and Miller went to bat for Minneapolis.
He hit short grounder to third, but it
was so slow that he got first. West sent
the same kind of hit in the same di-
rection and Miller was thrown out at
second. West was caught
TRYING TO STEAL
second. Reddy Hanrahan sent one ont
past Morrissy, and was left on second
by DAILY, who dropped long fly into
loves hands, retiring the side with
out a man having reached third.
PoOrman, who came up first for Mil
waukee, died at first. Lowe sent foul
fly up in front of the reporters box and
Mr.. Dugdale got under it nicely. Then
Morrissy, the brewers long first base
man. came up and smiled at Duke, and,
sent it over the right field fence
and exercised himself in making
the circuit. Kirby went out at first.
In the second inning Turner made a
base hit, and tried to take second on
Hengie's grOunder to second, but Sutton
caught him and threw to first in time to
catch the little captain of the Flour
City. Only three men went to bat for
Milwaukee in either of the next two
innings. DAILY gathered himself to-
gether in the third, and pounded one of
Freeman's ''inS'' for all
FOUR OF THE SACKS.
In the fourth Minneapolis fell on itself,
and Morissy scored for the Cream City
on two singles and sacrifice. Joe
ming Of the Fifth. and West took
him to second with a sacrifice,
by which he avoided being called
upon to sprint. Hanrahan got
q base on balls DAILY and Turner got
single each, and Miller and Hanrahan
came home, leaving the bags full once
more with only one man out. Then
Freeman made motion to catch Daley
on third and pitched the ball. the men
advanced base each ON Umpire Hur-
ley's call of balk. DAILY coming home.
This seemed to rattle Freeman,
and he did the same thing again,
letting Turner home. This closed the
rnn getting in the fifth, notwithstand-
ing the fact that Duke gave three men
bases on balls in Milwaukee's half.
Miller was the only Minneapolis man to
reach first in the sixth, and he was left
there. EZ Sutton then took
THE BIGGEST BAT
in the rack and stepped up to the plate.
He picked out place in the chicken
netting over the right field fence where
he intended to drive the bail through
and struck at high one, knocking a
gentle roller to Minnehan at first.
Cal Hassamer was the next victim
and he created a very considerable
panic among the inhabitants of houses
on Fifth street, who had climbed on the
roof to save p cents. His home run
was the only hit made that inning. and
in the next both sides went out in one,
two, three order. MinDehan scored i'm
the eighth on three singles and Muller's
sacrifice. Dugdale came to bat with
Duke on second, and pounded
the leather over to right field. He stole
second. and Duke crossed the plate
while CroSsley and Sutton were trying
to catch Dug" The next two bats
men failed to find the ball and Dugdale
was left on third. Sutton was the only
beer agent who got to first for Miiwau-
kee in the eighth, although Kirby hit a
vicious pebble-eater to Miller at third
and was thrown out at first. Daly's pop
up to short and two large
HOLES IN THE AIR
near the plate made by Turner and
Hengle in a vain endeavor to kill some
thing told the story of the ninth for Min
neapolis Nine to three at the begin
ming of the last half of the ninth inning
might be called hopeless lead, but the
Milwaukee boys didn't seem to think SO.
Albert waited for four bad balls and
then waited on first for CrOssley to
make a fOur-bagger. and he didn't
have to wait long either. Two balls
= and one strike had been called when
Duke sent one in square over the plate,
singing the ''Charge of the Light Bri-
gaze as II cdIle. CTOSSley'S dSH SUCK
met it fairly. and away it rallied towards
the North Minneapolis pumping station,
thumbing its nose at Mr.. Duke and
humning the ''Song of the Cannon
Ball" Reddy Hanrahan looked after
it a minute. then shut his teeth to-
gether and swore fiuently, but inaudi-
bly,, for some minutes, while Alberts
came home and Crossley went around
once. Freeman managed to reach the
sphere for a grounder to short, but
got first on Minnehan's bad
muff of Hanrahan'S throw. PoOrman
allowed Duke to gather in his short
grOunder and Lorne struck three times
at one of the holes Crossley had made
in the air Morrissey got a base on
balls, but Kirby sent short grounder
to Reddy, who ate it and threw Free
man oul at third. This closed the game.
