MILLERs ON TOP.
The Minneapolis Team Beats
That of st. Paul.


Yesterday was without a doubt the
greatest base ball day that Minneapolis,
or Minnesota for that matter, has ever
seen. There were several things that
made it so. First and foremost was the
public's knowledge of the fact that the
rival aggregations of the Twin Cities
were to play the last of a series of three
games. Of which the Apostles had al
ready won two, and that the game
would consequently be for blood. The
game was also the last meeting
OF the two teams for some time to come.
The fine weather, the observance of the
day as general holiday, the central 10
cation of the grounds and the time of
the game-it being called just after the
Memorial day parade had passed
through the business portion of the
city-all were circumstances which
aided in bringing together the
1900 PEOPLE
who swarmed over the grand stand,
bleachers and nearly half the ball field
at Morton's Athletic park halt hour
after the gates were thrown open. The
result of the first two games Of the
series had served to greatly deepen
local interest in this one. and in
spite of the presence of 1900 people
from the Sanity City the crowd was SO
quiet that one could hear his neighbor
breathe. When Minneapolis went to
the bat in the first inning Johnnie Sow.
ders was in the box. with Cal BrOugh-
ton skinning the bat, and DAILY, st.
Paul's new left fielder, who has played
with Minneapolis until yesterday,
was with John Barnes men. A
10 Nil 20
third and fly to Billy Hawes settled
decidedly better. Hawes hit the first
ball pitched by Mitchell, who was in
the box for the MillerS, and it went
sailing
OVER THE LEFT-FIELD FENCE
at sixty-mile-an-hour gait while he
made the circuit of the bases. A base
on balls, steal and hit by Carroll
took Murphy over the track once
and then the side went out. Mime
ap0lis failed to score in the second,
While for st. Paul Werrick made two
bagger, stole third, and came home on
an attempt to catch Brought0n stealing
second. In the third the home players
pulled themselves together for strug-
gle, and it counted. Mitchell, the tall
pitcher, was the first man to bat,
q long twO-bagger way over into
the multitude of cranks near the bulle-
tin board. Dugdale got first ON Reilly's
error. and Wagenhurst calmly waited
for the somewhat erratic Hurley to ad-
Judge him entitled 10 base on balls.
He finally got it, filling the bags, and
then Joe Miller, the old ''side horse,"
came to bat. Every body was waiting
for HIM to make single that would
bring Mitchell home, but he didn't do
it., He famed the air once. Johnnie
SoWders smiled and made a signal to
Cal Broughton, then he shot the ball
OVER THE PLATE
and Joe hit the air again. Johnnie
smiled again and Cal gave him the
up in the box and then
hands, but it never got there. Miller
begged leave to introduce Judge Ash to
Maj. Horsehide, and the ball hasn't
been found yet. Four runs for Mime
7 apolis and no one out. Papa West got
a base on balls and second on a passed
bali, but was caught at third,
while Reddy HanraRan made the
steal gasa and and F. Fosters TsS's neat usi Single.
a double and single gave st. Paul an
learned run in the third, and then they
failed to get around the bases again
1hntil the eighth, when Werrick and
sSOwders crossed the plate on two
singles, a passed ball and Daly's sacri-
fice Making five runs in one inning
against the Apostles seemed to take
the breath out Of Sam Mort0n's men,
