Wisconsin's metropolis. A brass band
was in attendance, and the Flour City
men marched out upon the field to mar
tial music, headed by Capt Carroll
They did themselves proud in the game
that followed. putting up fine fielding
game. O'Day seemed little nervous,
and spoiled what would have been a
beautiful double play by fumbing the
ball for just a moment. Myers carried
off the fielding hOnors easily, his throw
ing to second being very accurate. Min
nehan was given a round of applause
for a long drive for four sacks. The
fielding of the Milwaukee team was eX-
ecrable. that of ShOch being the worst
ever seen on the grounds. The usually
clever short stop seemed unable to
stop the eaSist of ground
ers, and he rounded up a
total of five errors. making his average
for the day .2S5. Alberts also was a
little below his usual form. but he was
the only Cream City man who could hit
Duke with any success. The Mime
apolis pitcher did well for first game
He started off a little wild in the ninth.

double play. Blanks followed until the
ninth. when Alberts and Shoch hit
safely Alberts scored on apasSed ball,
