Fight for the Cup.

Tt is almost a certainty now that Indian
apolis will play Minneapolis for fnat Free
Press cup here next week. This means big
money for the players of both teams for
the grounds will be crowded at each of the
three games. The interest in the struggle
for the cup will prove as great as that
manifested in the pennant winning here
last season. Indianapolis will turn out big
ger crowds than any other city, with the
possible exception of Minneapolis. The
weather here is likely TO be better than
at Detroit next week, where the lake winds
make it pretty chilly about this time every
year From a monetary point of view,
therefore. the Mnnea polls players are bet
ter off with Indianapolis to fight for the
cup than they would be with the Detroits
as their opponents.
1t is probable that in the roundup the
Indianapolis team will find Its percentage
cut down a little as another lost game is
likely to be added to that column. Every

home on the hit. Stewart flew to Wilmot
and Buckley was out from pitcher to first.
Hogan started the indianapolis fifth with

Then the Milers broke the spell and
