Townball with the exception OF cross
ing out" was played at Nicollet park yes
terday afternoon, when Watkins cubs en-
gagged In a battle royal with Cnngmans
cavorters. Minneapolis won out, DUE II
was by such small margin that the real
fans had their heads under the benches
when the finish came, not uata's W AooN
at the diamond
Morgan was to do the throwing at the
Toledo Niger babies and, while effective,
came near losing the game on DIT OF
bad judgment. This was when he threw
up straight one at wyatt Les. Ley
drove the ball over into Nicollet avenue
and sent two men over the plate ahead
of him. Hereafter 1t is safe to assert that
the offensive Lee will get bases on balls
The pitching Of Deertng was all that
could be expected. He threw up straight
balls and dinky slants which proved very
much cod-liver oil to the batting averages
Of the millers Everybody on the team
but Fox and Morgan made hits. Inc game
started off by two mudhens gettlng on
bases, but fast double play executed
by Freeman and Oyler plugged the To-
isdo oonfidence game. In the first inning
Minneapolis scored two as result OF a
single by Sullivan, double by Coulter
and a burdock bruiser by Starnagle. To-
ledo turned about face in the second ana
ASA6etAA'
a base on balls to Burns, single oy
Reading and an error by Fox In throwing
wide to the plate to head of Burns. The
tie was shortlived, as In the third there
started what might be termed meeting
of the knockers association. Maloney
made a two-bag belt ana SULLIVAN lol-
lowed up with one Of the same proper
tions. Sullivan scored on hit by Mo-
Nichols, his own drive having sent Ma
loney across the plate. The good work
was continued in the fourth, when hit,
a sacrifice and three more hlts sent oyer
and Sullivan over the pan.
Toledo submitted to peaceful assimtla-
ton until the seventh inning. The first
two mudhens were plucked when cling
man drew a badge, after behring's TWO
Dagger Wyatt Lee ambled up to the disc
and after two corner cutters had been
called on him, peacefully larruped the
ball across the ohroniclings OF the photo
graphic prowess of Herr Opsahl on the
Nicollet avenue fence. This brought in
three runs, Lees included. This gave To-
ledo but one to gain to tie the score. MIN
1 neapois went out in order In the seventh,
but in the eighth, after Toledo had been
suppressed the locals scored on two sin
giles a sacrifice and a fielderS' choice. Thls
was followed in the ninth by another at
tack Of heart failure. Two mudhens were
perched with little difficulty. Cnngman
made single and Pitcher Deering ,donned
his street shoes, thinking that it was all
over but the ride in the bus. Lee again
came up. Morgan was forgetful of his
other performance, or imagined 1t to be
an accident He confidingly sent in a
nice, comfortable hoater, which pleased
the fancy of Lee. He greeted it with a
figrrative hug and kiss Of the wagon
tongue The chaste salute centered
squarely upon the center seam of the ball
which resented the assault by jumping
the Nicollat avenue fence to escape from
the precinct. This tied the score in the
ninth. Starnagle came up for the locals
and drew quartet of wild ones. Nc
Nichols sacrificed and sent him to second
He reached third when Fox went out al
first 1t began to look like ten innings
when Deering made a gloomy gus gyratior
and tried to tunnel the ball under the
plate instead of over it. The sphere
cracked the knee cap Of Catcher Brown
and rolled to the stand Starnagle scootet
across the box and Clingman added an
other thorn to his crown of sorrow.
This is ladies' day, the first of the Tues
