MILLERS WIN ONCE MORE.
Four Victories In Six Days Is Their
Record,

The fourth victory in six days came yester-
day for the Millers, when they fell onto the
Bobohnks. at Nicollet park, and won as they
pleased. 1t is true that the Bobs put up an
awful exhibition of the national game, but,
at the same time, the locals worked with a
vim.
Young Mr.. Scott, the gentleman who held
the Mtllers down to three hits in a game at
Minnehaha park, one cold Sunday a month
or two ago, was in the box for the visitors,
ana pitched good steady game. His support
was about as bad as it could be, but that
made no difference in his work; he was in
the box to pitch, and he pitched until the
last Miller went out in the ninth.
The game began as 1t did the day before
two blanks coming in the first draw. In the
second the Millers tried to accumulate a
portion of their twelve runs. Purvis couldn't
find Scott and famed three times. Deadly
was the first man to hit safely for a sack
and was followed by Roat. who sent one
down to Griffin which the midget fumbled
giving Roat a life. Bail singled over center
and reached second when the ball was thrown
to the Plate in an unsuccessful effort to catch
Deadly, who stole home with the first run
Roat going to third. Boyle sent one to Glenal-
vim. who threw to the plate and caught Roat
Eddie reaching first. Hutch came to bat and
Boyle and Ball attempted a double steal.
Artie got home with a run, while Glenalvin
and Campau were after Boyle, but Eddie
went out between first and second sacks. and
the side was retired with two for a starter
The visitors went out one, two, three.
In the third Hutchinson singled and Eustace
struck out. Miller came next with a pretty
single and was forced out at second when
Letcher hit to Glenalyn, Hutch getting round
to third Letcher purloined the second bag
and came home with Hutch ahead of him
when Cross muffed Purvis' fly. Deadly went
out from Griffin to Campau and the Millers
had two more runs. The visitors again failed
to score.
Scott walked Roat to first In the fourth
and Ball advanced him with pretty sacri-
fee and Boyle brought him home on a single
and went out himself moment after trying to
steal second. Hutch retired the side by
striking out and once more blank the
best the visitors could do.
1t was at this stage of the game Joe Strauss
met his Waterloo. Umpire Warner called the
third strike on him and Joe objected so
him to the bench. and he did so. This brought
ESlagel in from center to third and put Brady
out In the field. where he muffed his only
two chances and then exchanged places with
McKibben in right.
Brady. began the new deal by muffing
Eustace's fly and allowing the runner to
reach second. Miller hit for a sack and
Letcher Popped up foul fly for the benefit
OF count Campau who scored an out Purvis
got his first hit good single, and Eustace
came home, while Miller reached third Deadly
drew one for two sacks and Miller sent Pur-
In their half of the fifth the visitors scored
their first runs G,enalyin hit one out for
two Ia es and McKtbben follow with another
for two and Glen came home. Twineham
! advanced McKibben a sack when he went
! out from Roat to Purvis and Mac stole home
when Cross flew out to Ball and Ball threw
to the plate. Scott struck out and the side
was retired with a pair.
A succession of errors gave the MiIers two
in the sixth. Boyle hit to Slagel who fun
bled the ball long enough to enable Eddie to
reach first. Then Hutch put another one in
to center, and again Pitcher Brady's fingers
turned to thumbs. and Boyle reached third
while Willie Bill landed on second. Eustace
came to bat, Boyle coming home a moment
later on a passed ball. Eustace hit one down
to Griffin, and the midget let it go between
his legs. and Hutch came home. Miller few
MckiDben exchanged DlaPeS
with Brady in center, and Letcher sent fiy
to Cross, which was captured. and which
was the means of a pretty double play. Eu-
STAGE thought there were two out, and started
around the bases when Letcher hit the ball,
and Cross made beautiful throw all the
way from left to first in time to catch Eu-
STAGE on the sack and the side was retired.
