Special 10 the indianapolis Journal
MINNEAPOLIS. July 16.-By falling on
Cross in the eleventh inning for six. hits
the Millers blocked their down-hiIl game
and earned victory which was somewhat
unexpected. The Indianapolis and the
Millers ran neck and neck beautifully for
ten of the most exciting innings seen here
for many a day. The thousand or so men
who got mixed up with the brilliant ladies'
day crowd rooted in great glee and gave
the Millers much encouragement. 1t was
all done through a sympathetic feeling for
the poor home nine, but all were confident
that the superior team work of Watkinss
men would count in the end. Anderson
never lost his head nor control of the ball,
and the strong hitters could not bunch on
him at any stage. Cross was exceedingly
effective barring the first and last turns at
bat. 1t was a two-bagger from Strauss
that sent Wilmot home. and after Schriver
was presented with a base Werden knocked
a homer. The visitors went right to work
with the stick and had the score tied In
the third and again in the sixth on Stew
arts home run. This kept the 1900 spec
tators on the qui vive. as the honors re-
NAMED even all afternoon. On several &C.
casions each side was on the verge of
scoring, but could not pass the last quar-
ter. In the eleventh Cross weakened. and
successive singles by Frank. Kuehne, Con-
ners. Wilmot and Lally. interspersed with
cracking double by Schriver and a base
on balls TO Anderson. brought in the six
runs. The Indianapolis team swung
furiously at the ball in their half, but
could not put the ball in the right place.
Stewart started some fireworks in the last
inning. but swift double play by Strauss.

Shannon. When he was struck out in the
second inning he showed his anger by
throwing his bat. The bleachers cheered
