Il is worth more than the price Of adj
mission TO watch Walter wilmot pose as
the statue Of Disgust" which he does
several times during the progress of a
baseball conflict. Yesterday was no excep-
ton and in the fifth inning he assumed an
attitude Of contempt and threw his glove
in the air. He then murmured to himself
that he believed he had about the limit of
all teams that ever took 10 the road. Even
Perry Werden showed his teeth and al
most strangled himself trying TO keep
down a storm of abuse that would have
been hurled at Pitcher Martin had he not
controlled himself. Martin committed a
foolish play, but his manager must remem-
Der that he IS young and will learn in time
1t was the old play with a man on third
and another on first. Coulter started from
the initial bag to second and Byers made
third. Martin seemed interested in watch

threw the ball TO Martin. but the latter
allowed it TO pass unmolested and Fox
trotted home. The play added another tally

indianapolis. AS Minneapolis could only
score one run during the battle Wilmot
should forgive Martin. The final score was
TO in favor of Indianapolis.
Ihere was not much enthusiasm in the
air. Although the HoOsiers took the lead

heard was kept in storage a few times
during the afternoon there were slight

MILLERS EASILY RETIRED.
The game was quickly played, which was
the most redeeming feature about it. In
six of the nine innings that the Millers
faced Sutthoff they went out in one, two
three order and in the latter part of the
contest the HoOsiers failed to pad their
score off Martin. The best the Millers
could do was to roll the ball to the infield-
ers or pop up easy files TO the outfeld. All
OF the chances We're accepted by the
HOosiers, but four errors We're made by
Minneapolis, one of them being contributed
by Wilmot. 1t might be said he did not
