DONE UP BY DENVER.
Minneapolis Loses Game After a
Ten-Inning Fight.

The Mountaineers handled their bats
like true sluggers in Minneapolis.
Twice some one cane to the rescue
when runs were needed, and pounded
them out. When Denver went to bat in
the ninth the score stood to 2 in favor
of Minneapolis. Lets tie right here" :"
said McGlone, land beat 'em out in the
next" Werrick put the first ball
pitched over the fence. and, after Cur
tice had reached first, Tredway buried
another in the house tops beyond right
field. Then the Millers pounded out
three in the tenth, but Denver proved
equal to the emergency again by batting
out four runs, Curtis bringing in three
with another homer over the right-feld
fence. Clean up to the ninth Denver
looked to be out of it. The team scored
two in the seventh, of course, on a
homer by Curtis, but people said ''lucky
hit," and rested at ease. Mitchell
pitched strong game mp to the ninth.
Denver had but seven hits, and, barring
the two in the seventh, they were scat
tered. The Millers played good game
behind your Uncle Charley, while Den
yer might have given Kennedy much
better support. The game was played
in wind storm, and the dust from the
field blew into the faces of the $500
spectators in clouds. 1t was far from
model base ball day.
Minneapolis scored one in each of the
first three innings. In the first Shu-
CART hit for a base after Murphy struck
cut, and after stealing second and third
came home ona wild throw to catch him
at third by O'Rourke. A double by Nc
Quaid and single by Mitchell sent one
across in the second, and tnree-bagger
ShnGart AiInnRh1n N
scored another in the third. Each
scored twice in the Seventh. White
got to first on pretty hit to right ana
Tredway brought him home with long
drive over the fence. For Minneapolis
Mitchell led off with hit, and was
forced at second by Murphy'S grOunder
to short. Shugart, however, eQualed Tired
ways feat by mailing it over the right
field fence, scoring Murphy also. Meth
er scored in the eighth, but Denver cut
loose like pirates in the ninth. Werrick
led off with home run over the left
field fence. The ball went a mile-three-
quarters of mile, anyway. White re-
tired on jumper to Earl, but Curtis hit
TO left for a base. Then Tredway fol-
lowed with his home run, and the score
was tied.
Minnehan led off in the tenth with
pretty single to center. Ryan got base
on balls and Hengle sent another to
center for base, scoring Minnehan and
putting Ryan on third. Tebeau tried to
cut Minnehan off at the plate and
Hengle took second. Earle few out to
McGlone. Marty McQuaid put it against
the center field fence for two bases, and
Ryan and Hengle came home. Darling
went out on jumper to White and
Mitchell flew out to Tebeau. Three
runs made the millers feel as though
they were on Easy street. McGlone was
first to bat for Denver. He hit to left
for two sacks and galloped TO third
on a passed ball. Tebeau sacrificed
with a slow grounder to Hengle and
McGlone scored. Then O'Brien hit to
center for a base. Werrich struck out.
Two men made things look blue for
Denver. White hit to right for base,
and O'Brien took third. Then Curtis
came to bat. Mitchell's leg went higher
than ever. and he got two strikes on
him. For the third one Mitchell is long
ing yet. The next ball sent over Curtis
met squarely on the nose, and lifted it
high and dry over the right field fence
and the day was won. The score:
