The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-19
MILLERs FELL DOWN.
started With Two Home Runs-One
Lonely Hit Thereafter.

Walter Wilmot has new scheme. To
make sure that the crowd has it's moneys
worth before 1t turns away from the game
In sorrow, he has the best part of the show
at the start. Yesterday in the Minneapolis
indianapolis game Connors made home
run drive inside the fence, and Wilmot fol-
lowed 1t with home run drive over the
right field fence. Two runs with no one out
ana who would not have been willing to bet
on Minneapolis. Keep 1t to yourself, but
with the exception Of a moe single by Will
mot In the sixth inning, those two hits were
the only ones made during the game There
is record for We fans; trying to win games
on three hits. Another one Of those home
run hits at the proper time would have done
It, too.
There was temporary spasm of joy in the
grand stand when Arthur Ball was noticed
playing at short. The fans thought the game
was won before it commenced. Arthur has
been out for several days on account of bad
finger, but he pluckily tried to play yester-
day. He had a chance IN the second inning
and acquitted himself creditably but the third
inning was the one that put him out Of the
game again. Hogan was hit with the ball.
Hogriever tried to sacrifice, but Hutchinson
got the ball and threw to second. Ball got
the ball nicely. and 1t would have been a
sure out had he held the ball. 1t struck
him on the finger, though, and not only was
Hogriever safe, but the ball went clear into
right field, where one or two players rolled
over 1t. Hogriever only went as far as third,
and unfortunately Bali was disabled so that
he could not play any more.
Joe Strauss went in at short. One of the
first balls that went in his direction he made
a good stop Of. but threw badly to Werden,
and the runner was safe. This discouraged
the fans again. Strauss played q good game
after that though. Wilmot's error was made
in the seventh inning, and was Immediately
followed by good play that more than over
came the error. Stewart sent up high fly
back of second base. Wilmot came in on
the rum and though it was a long distance,
he got under the ball. but dropped IT.. Motz
was running to third, and quicker than q
shot Walter sent the sphere to Kuehne, who
caught Motz by three feet. The play re-
suited more advantageously to Minneapolis
than II this error had not been made.
Werden's error was made In the same In
ming 1t being a miss Of Motz' fly back of
first. The sun bothered Perry, and he
never had his mitt fairly on the ball.
Hutchinson fumbled Hogan's bunt In the
sixth inning, which completes the list Of
errors on the Minneapolis side. Hogriever
muffed a fly that came dangerously close to
the fence. Shannon let hit from Strauss
go right through him, and Scheibeck, either
Intentionally or otherwise, dallied too long
with a low pop-up which Schriver sent him.
The Millers had two fine chances to win
the game In the sixth inning, Connors had
four bad ones. Wilmot made a nice hit into
left field. Then Scheibeck made his error
and filled the bases. Werden was patient
waiter. and in consequence Phillips forced
run with base on balls. Lally hit to
Shannon, who threw to Stewart who In turn
threw to Motz, and the double play was COM
plete. While the double was in progress
Wilmot scored. Partridge made his second
appearance in Minneapolis, and he happened
to be next at bat. He hit hard, but the ball
went directly towards Motz, and the side was
out.
The second chance was in the eighth in
ming, when Hogriever dropped Wilmot's fly,
Walter going to second. Schriver's out sent
him to third. Werden hit to Phillips, and
Wilmot was caught between the bases. The
