THE RUBBER so FAR.
Minneapolis Takes Eight Out or
Fifteen From st. Paul.

The fifteenth game of the season be-
tween Minneapolis and st. Paul yester-
dav drew out large crowd, who were
attracted by the fact that each team had
won seven games, and the fifteenth
practically decided the superiority in
game-getting of one team or the other
thus far. The Twin City aggregations
have only three more games TO play this
season. and st. Paul must take all three
of them 10 beat Minneapolis. Judging
from Yesterdays game, the Apostles will
not succeed, for yesterday the Millers
outplayed them at every point. Duke
went in to Pitch for Minneapolis and
Meekin for St. Paul, and the rivalry
was red hot for the first few innings,
until St. Paul saw her chances grow
beautifully less and then disappear.
Duke gave the Apostles but one hit
two-bagger by HaWes. St. PauPs two
runs were made in the third and fourth
innings. In the third inning Carroll
got a base on balls, went TO third on
Dukes underthrow to Mlnnehan,
and came home on a wild pitch.
In the next Reilly hit an easy one to
short. and came clear home on an
Anthony overthrow by Reddy Hanra-
ban that poked its way through cloud
and came down in the right field bleach
ers, Billy Halves tried to score IN the
first on a passed ball, but Dugdale got
il and threw it to Duke. who put Hawes
ont. HAYES made a horrible din. and
the umpire did not seem to be sure he
was right. but stuck to it. The decision
involves the point whether a man has
to run to score on a passed ball on the
MINNEAPOLIS grounds, considering the
fact that the backstop is only sixty in
stead of ninety feet from the nome
plate. HAYES finally settled the great
question by saying, well, the rule
doesn't go again in this game, seer
Briody saw, and the game went on.
Minneapolis began her run getting IN
the second inning, when Meekin was
pounded severely. Twelve men went
to bat, and with a double by Miller, two
singles by Minnehan. single by Han
rahan, a home run by Duke, two bases
on balls and two errors by Miller
brought in seven runs. In the fifth two
men scored on singles by Hudson. Nc
Vev and Hanrahan and sacrifice by
Duke. In the sixth Dukes two-bagger,
Dug lale's single, an error by Tuck
elmln, who muffed Miller's long
f1v. and an error by Halves, who
failed to handle Werrlck's assist of
Hengle's hard grounder, and base on
balls to Minnehan brought four more
men over the rubber, making the total
Is. Minneapolis then subsidized, and St
Paul also. The game was called at the
end of the eighth inning. The credit Of
the victory was largely due to Dukes
batting and pitching. Mlllers bat
ting and the splendid fielding of
Hudson, Foster and MeVey. which
cut off several legal hits. Little Miller,
of St. Paul. won the sympathy of the
crowd before he finished. though he
began with some tough errors. He is
credited with eight assists and two
errors in the score, all hard grounders.
A double play was made on each side.
Carroll was replaced Dy Tuekerman in
the fifth inning, and ''Sliyers," as the
crowd called him, did not gain much
fame as a fielder. There will be no
game in Minneapolis or St. Paul to-day,
as the former went to Aberdeen for an
exhibition game to-day and the latter to
Milwaukee. Minneapolis will meet
Des Moines on the home grounds on
Wednesday. The score:
