GOLD BUGS BEATEN.
Played an Uphill Game With
Fine Courage.


Minneapolis 16, Grand Rapids II.
Another case of Louisville is Ellis
Grand Rapids team. They played a
hard game yesterday at the Minneap-
oils grounds and would have won out
but for three unlucky bases on balls
given by Charley Petty in the second
inning. These were so sandwiched in
with safe hits by the locals that seven
runs resulted, and these gave lead
that the visitors were never able to
overcome, although at the eighth inning
they were only one behind. They were
so close that Capt. Wilson grew
frightened and took Tanning out of
the box after three hits had been made
in the eighth inning and Blackburn
was substituted. The Southern Lacquer
was not batted safely at all, although
three runs resulted from a wild pitch
and a long fly after he came in.
Grand Rapids play was notably
strengthened by the addition of Glen
alvin to the team, and a number of
locals who tried to steal second found
it considerable different from when
Tommy inland was covering the bag.
Joe Stratus was the only one to make
the steal and square it with the UNI
surprised than Joe at that.
But the locals were hitting the ball
like hail stones, and it would have TAX
en- terrible game to have beaten
them. Wilson again laid his eye upon
the ball for four safe hits in six, and
Hulen had four in five Werden tied
Hulens record, but was not as lucky
in getting round the bases. Every man
in lac
burn, who didn't come to bat, made
hits, and Werden and Glenalvin were
the only ones who failed to score.
Joe Werrick caught the crowd in the
first inning by jumping after Cassidy's
high liner and getting 1t back to first
in time to catch Campbell.
Hulen opened with single to the
right fence and Lally sent hard one
to right. Werden hit safely and Bulen
went three bases on it. He didn't
score any too quick, either, for Straus
forced out Werden, and Werrick, who
got a base, was likewise forced out
by Kuehne. The visitors took the lead
Immediately. Wright and Campbell hit
safely, and Cassidy's liner, although
doubled up, advanced Wright to third.
Carroll was hit by Tanning, and Glen
hit a hard one to the left field, but
Glenalvin was caught at the plate be-
hind Carroll.
The second was bloodthirsty. Will
son and Fraser hit safely, and Tanning
took base. The bags were full. Then
Hulen sent the ball over the right
fence for two bases. Lally hit hot
one to Callopy and beat the ball to
first Warden toolx fOur ha LIS
and Werden were doubled by Glenal-
vim. Lally went to third. Werrick hit
safely again and Kuehne took his base.
Wilson made another safe hit and Pet
ty claimed that Kuehne cut second
base, but Cushman didn't see it and
didn't allow it. Wilson and Kuehne
worked the double steal and the sew
enth run for the inning was scored
Fraser ended Petty's agony by strik-
ing out.
Callopy and Wheelock restored Mich
igan confidence with two hard homers,
but that was all there was for them,
Werden and Werrick executing a rat
Ting double on CampbelPs grounder to
Perry after Wright had forced Petty
out at second. Hulen hit safely and
Lally brought him in with homer.
Werden and Straus hit safely, al
though Werden had to make a good
slide to get the base. Both were
caught trying to steal second, forget
ting the change that had been made.
Carroll went around on a. homer. Wer-
rick hit the ball out for homer, and
Kuehne took a base. Wilson hit hot
one, which struck second base and
bounded directly back, but Wheelock
was there and got it. He sent it over
Cassidy's head, however, and Kuehne
went to third. Wilson wanted to work
the double steal, but Kuehne didn't
start and Bill was caught. Fraser and
Tanning struck out, and the score was
II to 5. Wheelock hit safely, went to
second on wild pitch, and was well
to third when Petty hit a sharp
grounder to Hulen. Wheelock scored
on the throw to first.
Hulen hit safely, but Eally forced
him out. Dan stole second and scored
on Werdens hit to right field. INLAND
dropped Straus' long fly, but Werden,
who had run off second, did not see it,
and, starting back, was caught by the
throw.
CarrolI,s second home run brought
the visitors another one nearer. Lally
made fine running catch of Callopy's
bell in good shape.
Singles by Kuehne and Wilson, Fras-
er's hot grounder, and a steal gave
Kuehne another run in the sixth.
With two men out, Grand Rapids filed
the bases with wild pitches by Fan
ming, and then had the side retired on
Wheelock's fly to Lally, which fell
only foot inside the fence.
The SaVlDtb saw the locals for the.
first time fail to score, and Grand Rap
ids after two were out again pulled up
with a single by INLAND and homer
by Callopy, making it 9 to 13.
Again the locals were shut out, and
Petty opened Grand Rapids half with
a clean hit Wright popped one up to
Hulen, but Campbell hit safely and
Cassidy pounded the ball for two bases.
That scored Petty and Wilson grew
frightened. Blackburn was called in
and let Campbell in on a wild pitch,
but Carroll hit a long fly, which Joe
Straus ate up, and when Cassidy ran
in the bases were clear, with the
visitors one behind. Glenalvin's fly
was well taken care of by Hulen, and
the locals proceeded to brace up.
Lally went out at first, but Werden
hit safely. So did Straus. Werrick
sent fly to, Wheelock, who cut Perry
off at the plate. Kuehne, however,
cinched the game by driving the ball
over the fence. The visitors had to
have four to tie, but not a man of
them reached first. Wheelock, the
third man, looked to the crowd as
though he was safe, but no fight was
made and the game was over.
