BASEBALL
ALL LOOK The SAME
Millers Play Horse With Another Of
the Star Twirlers Of Col
umbus.
Bat Out Twelve Runs in Five In
nings-vasbinder Holds SEN
ators Safe.

having taken a Hedpys 1diI OuIs Ol T1dI-
vey Bailey and Deacon Crabill, the millers
yesterday stacked up against McMakin.
another Of the stars of the all-star pitch
Ing staff of the Columbus aggregation.
Like his two predecessors just named.
Mac proved a shooting star. He did as
well as Vasbinder-for two innings. In
the next three rounds the weak hitting
Yeagerites hammered out eleven runs on
twelve hits, three passes and a. bum throw
by Foxy Grandpa cannon to second.
Fatigued by their exertions, the locals
then took things easy during the remain
der of the game.
The decline and fall of the McMakin
empire was due largely to the efforts of
Scotchy Mcintyre, Pot Hunter McCreery,
and Handsome Dan Lally. The two Macs
have been hitting with monotonous reg
ularity of late, even Pop Williams, who
was a. puzzle to the other sluggers last
Saturday having no terrors for them
With his title Of first batsman on the
team growing wobbly, Lally decided that
1t was time for him to get into the game,
and yesterday he punched the horseh1de
for two singles and two doubles THESE,
with the three accumulated by each OF the
Macs, made up ten of the nineteen drives
secured by the millers. The other nine
were pretty evenly distributed among the
other six members of the team Smith,
Oyler and vasbinder each got two and
the rest one each.
Blunt Game Worked Sklfully.
One encouraging feature of the game
yesterday was the way in which the mill
ers worked the bunt game. Hitherto
Minneapolis has been weak in this essen
,tial part of the game, but yesterday near
'ly every man on the team managed to lay
down a safe one. Out of six or eight
attempted sacrifices. two advanced the
runners, and the others developed into
safe hits. The fielding Of the team was
fast, and the two errors were quite ex-
cusable. Hart is doing brilliant Work at
second. The management made a ten
strike in securing him for utility man.
The DISCOVERIES started after vas
binder as if they intended to drive him to
the woods, making four singles in the
first inning. Gleason, the first man to hit,
however, nipped in trying to steal
second and the bunch Of hits only re-
suited in one run. After that Vasblnder
was invincible, keeping the hits nicely
scattered. In the fourth Turner hit and
went to second on Mellor's out. Vasbin-
der threw a wild pitch. and the senator
tried to make home on the play: He was
thrown out at the plate. and another
chance was gone. The second run made
by. the visitors came in the second, when
Rayner stole home after Oyler had gath
cred in a hard fly back of second.

The fans could see the finish Of Nc

Creery, the first man up, drove the sphere
over the fence and trotted around. Nc

proved easy outs, but Hart drew pass
and Lally lifted the sphere to right cen
ter for two sacks, scoring the SECOND
