MILLERS DEFEATED AGAIN.
1t Was Wonderful Game, with Some
Bad Fielding.

Yesterdays game was something wonder
ful. but indianapolis beat the Millers again,
ard that's what counts. The fielding at
times was execrable, the visitors doing a
shade the worst work, though pressed close
by Aliens men in the matter of errors
Phillips had one very bad inning-the fourth
during which he couldn't locate the plate
and gave the Millers enough runs to very
nearly tie the score. The latter presented
a somewhat bunged-up appearance. Ball
was so lame he could scarcely hobble about
Rice had a bad finger and McNeely, a
pitcher, was at thirdIuntil called 10 the box
by the passing of Cooke, who was ham,
mered out of the game in the third inning
Norton was then placed at the corner made
vacant by Reillys injury the previous day,
and the Millers proceeded to do the best
they could which was not very good.
Hogrievers base running was one of the
bright spots of the afternoon. He skated
into and across bases on his shirt front with
such ease and precision that the crowd
howled with delight. indianapolis gave it's
batting average boost, everybody taking
good crack at the ball, and some Of them
two or three. 1t was q long ways from
championship ball. however, and there will
have to be brace before st. Paul gets here
Monday. Cantillon incensed the players
and the crowd by calling Deadly out for in
reference in the seventh. Mcfarland was
on first and Deadly at bat. Mac started for
second and Dixon threw badly. Cantillon
claimed Deadly had gotten in the catchers
way and called him out There had been no
claim by the catcher of interference and
the umpire's action was a surprise to every
body. He was roasted plentifully for it.
The opening half inning was a comedy of
errors MotZ dropped Rice's little fly and

his grasp. This filed the bases, after which

Phillips had a dizzy spell in the fourth.
1t was a peculiar attack, for In spite of bad
support he had been pitching frst-class ball

afterwards, so no further damage was done
These six runs were the last scored by Min

was effective and well supported.
Indianapolis kept on scoring until the
crowd grew weary seeing the runs come in
