After Victory Was Certain KeIIum
Was Given a Trial.
The NTllers would probably have been
shut out yesterday had Kellum not been
put in toward the close of the game. Man
ager Watkins wanted to the left-hand-
ed youngster perform and thought that
with thirteen runs to the good there would
never be a better opportunity. Foreman
had shut Minneapolis out for six innings.
during which time but two safe hits were
made off him and only four men reached
first base, but one of them getting far as
second. Kellum was naturally wild, hav-
ing had no work for some time, and the
Milers managed to get couple of runs
in the seventh, though he BANKED them
in the eighth all right. He did fairly well
and can doubtless do much better with any
sort of a showing. However, Watkins
will scarcely take any chances just now
of dropping e. game and will therefore
work Foreman, Goar and Phillips until the
team is back on the home grounds next
month with strong lead and the pennant
practically won. Then will be time enough
to give Kellum chance.
The sensational feature of yesterdays
game was the accident to Miller and
Letcher in the fourth inning. Motz hit a
long fly to right center and both men
started for it. They were going at top
speed when they collided and went down
as If shot. 1t was at once apparent that
both were hurt, the collision being the
most serious ever seen on the grounds.
After MotZ had made the tour of the bases
the umpire called time, the players of
both teams having meanwhile gone to the
assistance of the injured men. 1t was
found that Miller was seriously hurt. He
was unconscious and was carried to the
clubhouse where he received medical atten-
tton and soon regained consciousness
though he suffered great pain. Letcher
was able to walk to the clubhouse sup
ported by Il couple of the Indianapolis
players. His head was pretty badly cut
and he was suffering from the shock but
otherwise he was not injuredi
MILLER'S INJURIES.
Miller sustained a slight conclusion of
the brain and it was feared for a time that
he was hurt internally. He was removed
In the ambulance to the City Dispensary,
where a careful examination by DR..
Thomas failed to disclose any internal in
jury. The physicians thought that he
would be ready for work again in a weeks
time but advised absolute quiet for a day
or SO until he could recover from the slight
conclusion of the brain which was the
most serious feature of the accident. Ac-
cord1ngly Miller was taken to St. Vincent's
own request, was removed to the Bates
House, where the team is stopping. He
was resting easily last night and says he
will be all right in a few days.
Ball took Letcher's place in center and
Lattimer, the Millers' new catcher, from
the Virginia League, was sent to right
There were few especially noteworthy
features in the game. Stewart made
good stop of Letcher's grounder in the
third and Flynn fine catch of Deady's fly
to short center in the eighth. Hogriever's
catch of Boyle's fly in the fifth was fast
piece Of work and Mccarthy and McFar-
land did some lively fielding. Fred Roat
stopped what looked like base hit from
McCarthys bat in the third and Eustace
took a red-hot line drive by Motz in the
sixth Hutchinson was touched up in the
way the leaders are treating them all these
days. They hit him for total of twenty
four bases Foreman had fine control.
Miller being the only man to walk to first
An inshoot caught the stocky little man in
the ribs and he deserved a base. 1t was
a good afternoons work for Foreman who
out a doubt, had he remained through the
game. Warner called 1T at the end of the
eighth ION account of darkness" 1t was
light enough to play but everybody was
satisfied to quit.
With two men out in the first, Hutchin-
son passed Mcfarland to first and McCar-
thy hit to left for base. A double steal
followed and then Miller dropped MOTIFS
fly after long run, both men scoring and
right scored him and Stewart flew to Mil
Ter. Kuehne made a good stop of Flynn's
grounder in the second and threw him
out. Foreman hit to right for two bases
and scored on HogrieVer's single to left
Gray hit to right for base, sending Hog
rever to third, but he was caught at the
plate trying to score on a passed ball
Mcfarland flew to Letcher.
Roat stopped a hard one from McCar-
thyS bat in the third and threw him out
Motz walked and Kahoe got a safe hit to
left. A double steal brought out a wild
throw by Boyle and both men scored.
Stewart flew to Kuehne and Flynn to
A TRIPLE BY MCCARTHY.
With two out in the fourth Gray hit to
right for base and Mcfarland reached
first on balls. McCarthy's three-bagger to
left center scored them and he came home
on MOTIFS drive to right center, which re-
suited in the Miller-Letcher collision above
described. Motz made the circuit on the
hit Kahoe got a single along the left foul
line, but Stewart flew to center. Flynn
opened the fifth by beating out deep one
to Eustace. Foreman advanced him to
third with a single to right and he scored
on Balls mun of Gray's fly Gray was
run out on the line trying to steal and
Mcfarland flew to Kuehne.
Mccarthy drove one to right center in the
sixth that looked good for a home run
but it was We'll fielded and Mac stopped at
second. Eustace caught MOTIFS hot liner
and Kahoe flew to Deadly, Mccarthy going
to third after the catch and scoring on
Eustaces failure to stop a very good
throw by Deadly. Stewart hit safe to left
Dagger to right. "Dbby' was caught and
run down on the line trying to stretch his
hit base.
Having runs enough TO make the game
safe, Manager Watkins took Foreman out
after the sixth and put Kellum in. Deadly
the first Miller up in the seventh drew
a base balls and Kuehne followed with
a three-base hit to right sending Deadly
in. Roat hit to center for a base, scoring
Kuehne. Then there was a funny play
Boyle flew. to Mcfarland and Roat ap-
peared to have some sort of idea that
the side was out for after running part
way to second he turned and started for
his glove. His fellow-Mill shouted at
him. but too late. for the ball was thrown
to Kellum who tossed it over to Motz. and
a double play was completed Hutchinson
struck out The visitors couldn't score in
the eighth though they had a couple of
men on base. The seventh and eighth were
