American Association.

If all the teams in the American Asso-
citation would have made records IL lndlan-
apolis this summer such as the Minneapo-
lis aggregation there would be no occasion
at this time for the Hoosiers TO be grabbing
at the ankles of the Colonies trying to pun
them down so that the Hoosiers could
stand on top of the championship ladder
The last Minneapolis game was played yes
terday afternoon and Indianapolis won by
a score OF 5 to 3. The Hoosiers made a
clean record against the Millers on the
home grounds, and Minneapolis left last
night with the unenviable reputation of
having lost every game played in Indian
apolis this season.
There was something interesting about
the contest and the crowd was well pleased
with the exhibition. The Hoosiers played
an errorless game and made nearly all Of
their safe hits, secured off Newlin, figure
in the run-getting. Indianapolis took the
lead from the start and the fans then sat
back perfectly satisfied that indianapolis
would win. During the early part OF the
contest the Millers faced Killen and were
retired in one, two, three order. This was
the order OF programme for SIX consecu-
tive innings. Lynch was the first man TO
bat in the seventh and he poked fly TO
left field Kihm came in like a lumber
wagon and would not have come within
ten feet of the ball. but O'Brien was on a
run and gathered in the sphere as IL came
over his head. That made the nineteenth
man to bat and the Mllers had never sue
ceeded in landing a runner on first. The
hopes or the crowd were soon shattered
when Quillin sent a three-bagger to deep
right center. single followed and II was
then up TO Killen to be discreet In dishing
up his curves. as the Millers had secured
a key to his strongbox: During the last
three innings Minneapolis made their only
three runs, two hits being secured in each
Of the innings.
HOW RUNS SCORED.
After the Millers were easily retired in
the first inning Hogriever started the InGi-
annapolis half by taking the measure of one
of Newlins curves for a single. Fox i'm
mediately produced a sacrifice and a mo-
ment later Hogriever went to third on a
wild pitch. Coulters out scored Hogriever
Kihm took up the scheme of hitting safely
when he went to the bat in the second in
ming and dropped one in left for a base.
Kuhns advanced him to second and Mat
thewss out sent him to third Killen
bounded one to Cooley, who made poor
throw to first, Kihm scoring and Killen
reaching the initial bag. Hogriever forced
Killen at second.
O'Bren reached first in the fourth inning
on Quillin's error and Kihm beat out an
infield attempt. Kuhns hit TO short and
hlnm was put out, q Br1en scoring.
Shutter Matthews put all his reserve
force i'm a swing and the ball travelled over
Lynchs head for a three-bagger. Mat
thews thought it was a shame thai he
could not make the circuit and secure cred
1t for home run, but he was held at third.
The next two men went out on pop-ups.
Hogrfever's triple and Fox's out gave the
HOOsiers their last one I'm the seventh.
There was nothing that looked like a hit
when Minneapolis was at bat during the
first six innings. In the seventh Quillin hit
for three bases and scored on Lally's single
to left. Under ordinary circumstances the
ball would have been caught, but Kihnl
got tangled in patch of clover and slipped
10 the sod. Hogriever gathered in Wilmot'
and Yeagers difficult flies. Werden started
the eighth with a two-base crack TO left
kihm doing another clever slide over the
sward. COoleys out sent Werden to third
and he scored on Newlin's single With
two out in the ninth Wilmot sent Kihm on
a chase after a long two-bagger. Werden
singled after Yeager was given a base BY
Umpire Ramsey and Wilmot scored Grant
fouled to Kuhns and the game was over
