Kansas City at Toledo.
Manager Watkins and his team of In
dams took two games from Minneapolis
yesterday afternoon in a double-header
The first game was won 4 to 2, while the
second game was called at the first half
of the sixth inning. after the Hoosiers had
made six runs to two made by the Millers.
Neither game was replete with any plays
that a spectator would remember after the
game. Both teams were listless on the
field and errors were common. Neither
Kellum nor Mcdonald. who opposed one
another in the first game. exerted them
selves TO any extent. The batters seemed
'dopey.' and no long hits were made.
most Of the hits being into the iIlfield, and
this was one reason why the players were
inclined to jaggIe the balls.
The Minneapolis crowd seemed riveted
to their places in the field. and played as
though they were automatons. Yeager
was one of those who had a serious off,
day. Re was unable to find either the
shortstop OF second baseman when an In
dianapolis player started to steal. AS a
result more Indianapolis players went to
second base in the first game than has
been for sometime.

after a days layon. His facial appearance
Indicated that he worried greatly during
the past forty-eight hours. This was the
occasion for many of the fans to chide
Foreman 4 several times he forgot him
self and took up the 'joshing'' with the
fans: which made matters worse for Fore
man. In the second game Foreman began
his usual cratic work. this time giving
Minneapolis the worst of the bargain.
Manager Yeager was at times furious, and
il was a continual war of words between
that individual and Foreman. The bad de-
cisions made against the indianapolis team
were taken resisnedly. as Manager Wat
kins and his players have become accus-
toned to Foreman's wretched work in this
city.
MILLERS MADE ONE.

first inning and resulted in one run being
scored for the Millers. Sullivan hit to Mar
