result is all the more deplorable from the
fact that Kansas City lost and Milwaukee
won. Indianapolis thus missing a chance to
get right into the race again. Wilmot was
delighted over the victory. The entire crowd
of Millers worked hard the last six innings
and danced with joy when the twelfth inn
ing was safely over. They don't win any
