LEXINGTON PARK TO-DAY.

Willie McGill VIII Puzzle the Dusties
Once Again.
Today the Saints and Millers will Cross
The series thus far stands three won by the
Saints to two for the Millers, who will make
an effort to tie.
Willie McGill will pitch for the Saints.
No information is given out by The Millers
in advance and patrons of the game have
to take their chances, which, perhaps &C
counts in a measure for the apathy shown
by the Minneapolis fans, less than 300 OF
whom attended the game yesterday.
Play begins at 8 o'clock and the manage
ment announces that the gate on Lexington
avenue will be open for the accommodation

Up to yesterday Nyce had batting average
over 40. His brief experience with Figge-

that makes those Indianapolis figures look!
Figgemeer only pitched four balls in the
fifth inning.
Glasscock could have scored in the eighth
before Isabells hit brought him in but for
Kuehne's interference. The Mi1lers play
ing dirty ball, and the manager-captain
seems to encourage them in it.
Glasscock is pilfng up the chances on first
base lately in way that would be caution
even to Carney.
Isabell's drive in the eighth was as pretty
hit as will be seen in those grounds in
long time. 1t was clean. high. line drive.

From the Columbus Dspatch's description
of Pete Daniels great game
For once here's game that will go down
on record as one in which there's nothing
to tell. It was one, two, three and out That
them were as scarce as Spanish doubloons
in crap game. Only once did they land on
the missile-at that, Gray was more surprised
than Daniels, for he didn't know he hit it
and, when the ball ploughed its way through
the summer breezes over in the peach orchard,
he ambled around the bases as If he were
treading upon forbidden territory. No one
else got anywhere near home plate save when
they stood up there and allowed themselves to
be crucified.
Hit him?
They couldn't have hit Pete Daniels with a
bundle Of bats, let alone one stingy stick
1t was Daniels at the break-Daniels at the
quarters-Daniels at the half; in the stretch
it was Daniels by 20 lengths, and under the
wire he came away with his mouth wide open
and his head swinging.
Oh! what a beating he gave hard-loser
Watty.
Thumped him to death.
Picked him up and set him down.
Jumped on him.
Rolled over him.
And
That's all.
We got our start in the fifth. Two men
were out and Eddie O'Meara waited for
good one-and went to first. Here Daniels lit
up against a low one, driving 1t skipping and
sobbing out along the ground to left. But
Ter bumped one over Stewards head. Hulen
put another in the same place. Mertes sent
his contribution sizzling out across the sand
to center. Did they hit it? Umph. umph!
They laid up agin' it. Je' pushed it. For
three runs.
In the seventh. Crooks lambasted Brown

and Daniels brought him home with merry
bump out to right. "Hoggie" was playing tag
with himself during this interim,1i
1t wouldn't do to let them off So easily, and
in the final chapter we went at again.
Again, with two outs, O'Meara reached down
in the grab-bag and brought up a base on
balls Two diamond-studded fumbles by
Eustace-wonder how he pronounces that
name?-and Hulen's single out over Stewards
head scored Eddie.
