AS a fitting climax to the first appear
ance Of the Minneapolis aggregation In
this city. they were treated to an ignomin-
ious defeat at the hands Of the Indians
yesterday afternoon. the final score result
ing II to o. After Fridays game was
stopped by the rain the spectators who
hUddled together in the grand stand began
specializing on how badly Indianapolis
would have evened up matters with the
1Iillers for the defeat of Thursday. The
consensus of opinion was that Manager
WilmOt and his bowling mob of Northwest
ern terrors would be sent away from this
city with the impression that the Indians
are again the strongest candidates for
championship honors. The fans who spec
ulated in this manner went to the game
yesterday and were fully repaid for indulg-
ing in the lottery habit" for the Indians
gave the visitors severe drubbing.
The bright particular star of all the
group that was necessary TO bring about
such a glorious victory was Kellum, for
lis slab work was of the kind which could
not be solved by college graduates, let
alone the aggregation of Millers. Four
times did the visiting team have the SEN
satiOn of getting a hit and these were all
singles. They were as scattered. too, as
the drinking fountains in the Sahara
desert. Several times, however. ne allowed
men TO reach the initial. bag, but settled
down before they advanced far enough TO
be in danger of scoring. In the ninth inn
ing the Millers gave the spectators some
thing of a shock and IL looked for awhile
il they would break the monotony OF
having goose eggs scored to their credit.
In that INNING the first two men who
faced Kellum were retired easily. Smith
prolonged the game by dumping a single
in center field. Graham was then made the
stopping place for an inshoot and he went
TO first. Kellum grew generous toward Nc
Cam and passed him to first, filling the
bases and causing the hundreds of people
on the bleachers to stop their rush for the
exits. kellun. however. only smiled and
showed determination to have a shut
out to his credit. Davis, the next man up,
connected with one of Kellums fast ones
and sent IL sailing like a cannon ball to-
ward Hickey. The third baseman was on
the alert and he gathered in the drive. re-
firing the side.
A PRETTY PLAY.
One OF the protest plays made during the
game came in the last inning. when Lally,
the Minneapolis left fielder. got In front of
a terrific drive from Kelly's bat. The ball
did not rise more than ten or twelve feet
above the ground. and Lally took IL in
while on the dead run. Davis also had
good play to his credit when he made
remarkable catch of Flynn's fly ball in the
seventh. Kelly, who was on first, thought
the ball was going safe and started for
second. Davis, after catching the fly, made
a beautiful throw to Werden, doubling
Kelly before he could return to the base.
Mccain was sent to the box TO battle
with the Indians. He was bowling sue
cess, from a Minneapolis standpoint, as the
score will testify. The Hoosiers went into
the game with their lamps" in a bright
ened condition, owing TO the half holiday
given them on Friday, and proceeded TO
lambast Mr.. McCann's delivery in a fashion
which was very aggravating to that gentle
man. but pleasing to the spectators. He
every inning. and men were sent across the
rubber in every inning except two.
The Millers were retired in one, two, three
order in the first inning. The Hoosiers then
came 10 bat and lost no time in getting into
the habit of scoring. Hogriever started the
good work with a single to left, Heydon
sacrificed him to second, and Magoon
scored him with a safe drive 10 left. The
next scoring was done in the third innirg.
when a wild pitch by Mccain, which
bounded into the grand stand, was respon-
sible for the brace of runs credited to In
dianapolis. Hogriever was again the first
man 10 face the pitcher. and he duplicated
his trick of the opening inning Heydon
drew a pass 70 first. While Magoon was
attempting 20 make q SdCr1nCe nit McCa00

hits the bamboo and threw the ball so
high IL was out of Fishers reach. As II

Kelly reached first on infield hit. and
Flynn was given orders TO sacrifice. He
hunted to Mccain, who threw TO Werden.
The throw was wild, however, and, as Wer-
den lifted his foot from the base 10 catch
the ball. Flynn slid under him and was
called safe. Hickey then advanced both
men with a sacrifice. KellumS out scored
Kelly. The side was retired without fur
ther scoring.
SOME FIREWORKS.
Magoon started the fireworks in the fifth
inning with single TO center McCann hit
Ssybold and Madison sacrificed. advancing
both men. Kelly responded with beauti-
full drive sending the two men the re-
mainder OF the way around the circuit. Two
were made in the seventh. Seybold walked
and Madison hit to right Wilmot booted
the ball. allowing Seybold to cross the plate
and Madison reach third. The captain only
tarried there long enough 10 pass the COM
pliments of the day with the Minneapolis
third baseman. for Kelly sent him home with
one OF his characteristic drives to center

measure for three singles and n double

Il the Indians would fatten their batting
average before the side was retired, bul
ally's remarkable catch OF kelly's line

The Millers came nearest scoring in the
second inning. but their attempt was really
pathetic as poor Perry Werden was thrown
out at the plate when he thought he had a
run cinched. He reached first on a pass
and Kellums balk advanced him 10 second
