Miller.
Neither side got the ball out CT the
infield in the fourth
Roat's sharp grounder through third
base was the Millers only satisfaction
in the fifth. Two Apostles were out
when Glasscock hit to Ball and the lat
ter exploded. George followed with
beautiful three-bagger into the deep
corner of center field. and one run was
in before Nyce went out on fly to far
outfield.
Cartwright opened the sixth with a
strike-out. Eustace drove a hard one
into left. Ball hammered one down to
Nyce. who made a good stop and
throw, but Heard declared that the
srrtnting short stop was safe at first
After some minutes devoted to polem-
les the actual routine of the game was
resumed and Boyle poked one down to
Shugart. This, too, was a narrow es-
cape from an out, but 1t escaped. The
bases were then full with only one out,
but luck turned little, and when
Hutch hit a grounder over second
Shugart got it, covered the bag and
threw Willie out at first.
Parrott went out on a fast foul tip,
but Shugart drove the ball into the
corner of the fence in center field
again. Letcher reached for the flying
sphere, but he would have had to dis
count the extension arms of Fitzsim-
mons to have gotten it, The st. Paul
Snort stop made the entire circuit of
the bases unmolested, although the
ball was close second at the plate.
Spies hit safely, but EuStace ate up
TWO hot ones with the facility of q
olme museum star chewing sealing
wax, and one run was the entire ac-
cumulation of Comiskey's gentlemen
Ihe score, however, was then four to
five.
Letcher opened the seventh with a
tWo-bagger, this time not trying to
make third on it. as he had Wednes-
DAY. Miller walked, although there
was some more discussion among the
players as to whether it was strab-
lsmus or ophthalmia that Mr.. Heard
should seek treatment for. No blows
We're struck this time, however.
hoat grove one to Nyce and Nyce
drove it back to first. Mr.. Roat re-
turned to the bench. A foul fly, caught
Dy spies, had relegated two Millers TO
incidence, when Cartwright was given
base on balls. Now, Tony Null
lane and Spies were both convinced
that one of these balls was over the
plate between the knee and shoulder
OF the batsman and they proceeded to
so inform the umpire. in a manner
demonstrative of much pugnacity 1t
looked Tor minute as though the po-
lice would have to be called in to dis
perse the crowd in the middle of the
diamond. but the base on balls was
insisted on by the umpire.
Then came EuStace. Mr.. Eustace, it
may be explained, is not the popular
eX-mayor of the Mill city, but Rock
ford, ILL.,, find, who drifted into Indian
apolis' ex-champions like an Arab
with folded tent, and came out with
out even the tent, Watkins having
taken him in hand. The consul gen.
eral to Shanghai then picked him up
and put him in Kuehne's place at
third base. He only weighs 135 pounds,
and would not ordinarily be expected
to knock the ball farther than a short
outfield at best, but he gave the thing
tremendous swipe on the dead center
and the individual who next felt the
Velvety surface Of the ball after Null
lane had pitched it to Eustace was a
boy who had been gazing in open
mouthed Wonderment at the gorgeous
drag in which the Comiskeyans were
driven over from st. Paul. and which
occupied shady spot just outside the
fence adjoining Lake street. That
made four runs more.
What Jack Glasscock said at that
time was not transcribed but it bore
not the slightest resemblance to the
rubric in an Anglican missal.
Three flies, two of them liners re-
tired st. Paul with displeasing prompt
ness. Minneapolis went just as quick
ly in the next.
Nyce was to start the eighth and
he did He hit the ball hard and late
It was going straight for the plumbing
establishment on Nicollet avenue to
be reloaded, but it fell little short.
Miller who had made hard run for
it, reached it but could not hold ii,
knocking the ball from inside the
foul lines out. Umpire Heard, how
ever, held it a fair ball. 1t was
thoroughly consistent as he had
Boyle's muffed fill of Spies foul al
though it struck fair, when Boyle was
on foul ground. Nyce had reached
third base when the trouble ceased.
''Tacks" struck out, Shugart gave
Roat a fly, but Spies hit sharp one
into Eustace's corner, and made first.
Hollingsworth hit a liner that struck
dangerously close to the left foul line,
and was good for two bases after
Heard had stamped it as fair. There
were some more Carson City special
ties at this point, but it was not in the
least protracted. Mullane was struck
out on called strikes, which added to
the good fellowship of the occasion
Miller opened the ninth with safe
one, but two outfeld flies held him.

Bride and Nyce failed to get the ball
out of the diamond, and George was
struck out, Glasscock meantime going
to first on balls.
