A PHILLIPI FOR HOLSTERS.
Leaders Surprised and Routed By the
MiIlRra.

When the Hooslers were in Minneapolis last
May young country youth by the name Of
Phiiiipi who had come to Minneapolis from
Mankato with a request that Wilmot try
him out, went In the box against them. Be
fore the game was half over the Hosiers had
come to the conclusion that they liked the
young man with the high-sounding name
very much indeed, and at the end of the
sixth inning, when the young. man was re-
lleved of further duty on the slab, his oppo-
nents had piled up earned runs to the num-
Der of eight, and had won their game.
Yesterday this same Phillip after having
been tossed about on the sea Of fortune since
that time among the teams OF the Red River
Valley league, undertook once more to try
conclusions with the Hoosers at Ncollet
park, and how we'll he succeeded is told in
the fact that he allowed the visitors but five
hits four singles and scratch double, and
won his game. He pitched like an old timer.
and sent them over the plate in a way that
fooled the hard-hitting Hoosiers, surprised
the fans brought smiles in place of frowns
on the features of Manager Saulpaugh, and
tickled Doggle Miller half to death. The Wis
itors could do nothing with him, and when,
with a man on first in the ninth. two out
and one run needed to tie the score, he struck
out the third man and retired the side, the
crowd didn't run for the cars; no, indeed,
they stood up and holered for fully two min
utes, and Mr.. Phillip could have been elect
ed mayor on the spot.
There was another man in the game. how
ever, besides Phillip. That man was Dogge
Miller. 1t was the second game since the
went in it with the determination to win.
Two of the runs brought in by the Miilers
came over the plate on his little bow legs.
Three of the hits secured by the Millers were
his. and he stole bases as though he was the
only man in the park and had nothing else
to do 1t was he who put ginger into the
game. and he deserved to win. Every man
played for all he was worth, and. while one
OF the Millers' errors cost run, 1t didn't
cost a game, and will therefore be forget en-.
Bill Carney was the bright particular star

way he captured after the Lally fashion. Old
Count Kuehne got into the game again with
three good hits, and Letcher found pair.
Goar was in the box for the visitors, and
at critical moments was invincible. Three
times did the Milers have two men on bases.
and three times did they stay there. In the
seventh the bags were full, and a safe hit
meant at least two runs. But Goar didn't
propose to let anyone get a safe hit, and be-
fore Bill Carney knew what had happened
the umpire had called three strikes on him
and the side was retired.
The Hoosiers scored the first run of the
game in the third inning. Wood singled,
Goar sacrificed and sent him to second, Phil
lipi threw wild and the runner reached third
and came home on Gray's out to- Letcher.
In the fourth Phillip presented Motz with
the initial bag, and the big fellow stole sec
ond and came home with the visitors last run
on Flynn's two-bagger, which should have
been an out at second.
The Milers did not score until the sixth,
and then they were assisted by Messrs. Flynn
ana McFarland, or the HCOSier team. Capt.
Miller sent one down to Flynn, who threw
wild to Motz. and allowed Doggie to reach
second. Then Letcher put high one out
over center, and it fell into and through the
hands of Mr.. Mcfarland, and the second and
third bags were covered. Count Kuehne
hadn't got hit up to date so he drove out
a beauty over second base and Miller and
Letcher came home. The side was retired
with no more runs In the seventh three sn-
giles by Miller, Letcher and Kuehne scored
Miller with the third and last run for the
