The game commenced with the
visitors at the bat. By couple of
errors on the infield they run in
three scores. Little Falls was white
washed.
In the second inning the Mime
apolis team made one score, while
the home team scored two runs.
Each shut the other out in the third
inning. At the close of the fourth
inning the score stood 6 to 3 in favor
OF the Glueks. 1t remained this way
during the next four innings. In the
first half of the ninth inning Mime
apolis made one run, while in the
last half Little Falls could not score.
The game was interesting from the
beginning. Terrell pitched a good
game and was well supported con-
sidering that a. couple Of strange
players, who had mad no practice
were playing with the home team.
The only drawback to the game
was the dampness. About every SO
often drizzling rain would pass by.
Despite this disagreeableness the at
tendance was large
Although Saturdays game was a
fine exhibition of ball playing, Sun
days game exceeded it with the ex-.
ception of one inning-the last half
of the fourth.
The visitors then had three goose
eggs to their credit and the home
team had four. The game had been
very fast up to this point, too fast
to continue long, and when the
visitors came to bat they had blood
in their eye. They connected hard
with Ferrell's curves, and with the
aid of several errors crossed nine men
over home plate 1t was disastrous
and discouraging to the home team,
but they pulled themselves together
and played good ball until the close
Of the game. In one inning, the
eighth, it looked as If our boys
would annihilate the great lead the
visitors had on them. They landed
on Thielen's curves numerically and
pounded out seven straight hits.
Three men were crossed over home
plate, but by poor base running the
side was retired with three men en-
bases.
Our boys played a good game
throughout, and the visitors
acknowledged them to be the hottest
proposition they had been up against
this season. Terrell deserves much
credit for his work, pitching two
games in succession against the
same players and holding them
down to practically no hits but the
ones got in that fatal inning. His
showing was even better than that
of either OF the other pitchers, and
although his support was upon
the whole good, it was not as fast
nor as perfect as that Of the visitors
lin either game. .s'@ .>iso
The lineup Sunday was practically
the same as Saturdays game, the
only change being in the box for the
visitors. Ed. Thielen succeeded his
brother, Peter, in the second game.
The Minneapolis boys played a
gentlemanly game throughout, and
were highly pleased with the treat
ment they received here. They all
Expressed a desire to come here
again at the first opportunity. The

Elias Brown umpired both games,
and his decisions were, as q rule, fair
I1and impartial. He made mistakes
some OF which were unfortunately
costly to the home team; but the
visitors also suffered to some extent
by his errors OF Judgment.
