RETTGER A RIDDLE.
Millers Unable to Solve the Curves
of the Milwaukee Pitcher.


The Minneapolis team lost another
game to the Brewers yesterday after
noon at Nicollet park through inability
to hit Rettger. who was in the box for
the visitors. Menefee did the twirling
for the Millers and pitched a fair game
He was responsible for couple of the
Brewers runs. however, by his wild
throws to bases. Outside of these errors
he fielded his position unusually we'll
getting several hard grouniers over to
first in time to shut off the runner The
Minneapolis players showed a complete
reversal Of form from Thursdays game
Thursday they played a very ragged
game in the field, but hit the ball hard
Yesterday they couldn't hit, but they
fieided perfectly, aside from Menefee
Carey was the only man on the team
who seemed able to gauge Mr.. Rettger's
delivery Carey gathered In two hits out
Of four times at bat. and scored one of
the two lone runs for the home team by
a pretty home run In the second inning
Unfortunately there were no men on
bases when he performed this feat
The Brewers played a good game in
the field and their two errors were not
costly. They only touched Menefee UP
for nine hits, including two doubles, but
these few hits came usually at opportune
times. The score:
