ONE SENSATIONAL FINISH.
Long Drawn Out Events at the
GIeHyiIIe Track,

CLEVELAND, O.. AUG. 2-Thara
was some fine racing at the GlenyiIIe
track today. Only one race. the 2:13
trot, was finished, and it was won by
Benzetta handily. The 2:17 trotting
race was badly split. All the heats
We're good. Col. Kuser was the favor
lite, but did not start to trot until the
seventh heat. The feature of the 2:1O
pacing was the sensational way in
which Paul captured the third heat.
Goleridge was the favorite in the race.
The summary follows:

Millers Won by Score of IA to

The Millers defeated the Brewers
yesterday at Minneapolis in a one
sided exhibition. Long John Healy
was in the box for the locals and this
visitors got but eleven hits. Baker
was hit hard and often, and at no
time were the Milwaukee men in the
game. Murphy's men put up a strong
game all around and played with
plenty of ginger Score:
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1895-08-03

Yielded handsomely, accepting many
chances and getting them through in
nearly every instance He hit like a
1end. His home drive to center was
the prettiest hit ever made on the
grounds.
Camp keeps up his batting record.
Yesterday he secured two doubles and
a long single off Mr.. King. His work
peen, but Camp makes no pretentions
at that station.
Alex Jones pitched good ball for
four innings, when his beef got in the
way. He is a conscientious worker
and hit the ball hard yesterday when
hits were needed.
Every time that score was tied, the
Saints gritted their teeth and gave
Mannlng''s men more work to do.
Manning's Blues got tired of it finally
and gave it up as bad job when the
saints took their fifth lead.
Burns made none of his long drives
Yesterday, but he secured three hot
singles, which made runs, and he
played heady ball, too His base run
ming was a feature.
A telegram was received by Manager
Manning at the grounds yesterday aft
ernoOn that Pitcher Daniels wife had
died in Louisville of Bright's disease
The Kansas City team sent a magnif-
icent floral tribute from here Daniels
friends here will sympathize with him
In his loss. His misfortune will pre-
vent his appearing here with the team
curing this series.
