VERY GOOD GAME.
Especially From the Milwaukee
OmciaIs' Point of View.

Especially From the Milwaukee
OficiaIs' Point of View.
Minneapolis, 5; Milwaukee, 8.
1t was enc of the best games of the
season on the Minneapolis grounds,
and was witnessed with the deepest
sympathy by the visiting aldermen
and city officials of Milwaukee It
was well played game on both sides,
and Milwaukee won a well deserved
victory, brilliant playing by Peck
Sharp at second base pulling their
pitcher out of deep holes more than
once. Fraser pitched g. good game,
striking out five men, and giving only
two bases, but he was heavily batted
Stephens, for Milwaukee, was batted
even more heavily, but the locals were
unfortunate in placing the ball, and
several long ones were eaten up. Hulen
opened the game with a hit, and
should have scored, as Werden also
hit safely, and Billy stole third. Wer-
den started for second, in order to
give Hulen a chance to go home, but
he didn't catch ON, and Werden was
out before Billy ran in. Three sue
cessive hits for Milwaukee, followed
by Larry Twitchell's home run, would
have given the visitors four runs in
the first inning, but Weaver was
caught trying to steal two bases on
single, and cut it down to three.
Kuehne hit safely in the second, but
was caught trying to steal second and
no one scored. Milwaukee did not do
any better. Wilson got a base on balls,
but three flies left him stranded. Mil
Waukee began to pound again. Sharp
hit for two bases, but was caught try
ing to steal third when Twitchell
struck out. McCauley drove the ball
over the fence for two bases, and Tay-
lor brought him in with home run.
Werden put the ball over the fence,
but the next three went out at first
base Stephens hit safely, but did not
score
Stephens was measured in the fifth,
Werrick and Wilson opening with safe
hits Fraser forced Wilson out and
Werrick to third. Hulen's two-bagger
over the fence scored Werrick. LalIy's
single did the same for the other two,
and the locals were only one behind.
Fraser gave Sharp a base, and
Twitchell hit the ball again. Nc
Cauley did as well. Straus muffed
Taylor's fly, but sent the ball to Sec
ond and third, making two out. Sharp
had scored. Klopf hit long one, and
Taylor scored, before Bus went out, at
second base. Straus and Kuehne hit
safely and the locals promised to take
the lead. But Werrick's long fly was
caught by the irrepressible Nicoi, and
Wilson forced Kuehne out at second.
Fraser waited for four balls, and filled
the bases, but Hulen hit grounder to
McCauley and the trouble was over.
Milwaukee also hit safely twice but
failed to score. Peck Sharp stopped
two hot grounders, and Nicol ate up
another long fly, retiring the side
easily. Fraser struck out the next two,
and McCauley flew out to Werden
StrauS flew out to Nicol but Kuehne
and Werrick got safe ones, and again
the locals were hopeful. Wilson rose
to the occasion and hit long fly to
the fence in the far corner 1t was
nearly over, but 1t only brought in
Kuehne. Fraser hit a hot liner which
Sharp stopped and doubled at second.
1t was to 5. Klopf's home run made
it to when the locals came up for
their last chance. Hulen popped a fly
to the ground back of McCauley, where
neither Twitchell nor Sharp could
reach it, Again hope rose but Lally
lined out another one, and that man
Sharp stopped it again. Hulen was
halfway to second base and he
couldn't get back Werden hit a
grounder to Gus Klopf, and the game
was over.
1t had been expected that Umpire
Sheridan would be here for the game,
and Hoagland was excused from SER
vice. When the time for the game
came, Sheridan had not shown up, and
Duke and Rettger were put in. They
served for four and a half innings to
the satisfaction Of every one, and then
Barnes, who is manager Of the Min
neapolis club. called upon Hoagland,
and begged him, in spite of the tumult-
uous protest of the crowd, and also the
objection of the Minnaa2ois captain,
Perry Werden, to umpire the game.
Hoagland reluctantly consented, and
the crowd in the left bIeacher poured
into the ground to take his scalp.
Barnes called in the police and order
was restored. Hoagland umpired very
fairly.
