Taking Two Games Yesterday.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 18.-There was to
have been double-header at Nicolet Park
this afternoon, but the rain came down in
torrents at the end of the eighth inning
of the first game, and when it ceased half
an hour later canoes would have been re-
quired if play had been resumed, and the
Hoosiers had to leave the city with their
three straight victories. The game was in
terrupted twice by heavy showers, but dur
ing the intervals the visitors managed to
score enough runs to keep ahead of the
Millers. Five of Watkins's men reached
first base on errors by the locals, and these
five men scored. Four walked to first
through the courtesy of Phillip, and two
of these scored. These failings account for
the Mllers' third defeat Monroe was in
the box for the visitors when the game be-
gan, but the Millers drubbed him for eight
hits in three innings. "Watty' put Frank
Foreman on the slab in the fourth and
Frank managed to keep things well in hand
Phillip pitched fairly good game, but
his support was bad. Mcfarland did the
heavy hitting for the visitors with a home
run, double and single. Flynn also
dropped a pretty one over the left-feId
fence for a complete circuit
In the sixth inning Flynn was hit square
in the FOREHEAD with a pitched ball. He
dropped to the ground and remained uncon-
scious for some time. He was taken to the
clubhouse, where he recovered. 1t is prob
able he will be out of the game for a few
days. Foreman created considerable amuse-
ment by appearing at the plate after FLYNN
had been hurt wearing a mask. The Hoos-
lers left FOR Kansas city tonight. Score:
