day a Disgrace to Baseball.

More do1ngS characterized yesterday 8
performance at Minnehaha. This time the
shoe was on the other foot, and the In
dianapolis aggregation were made the
butts of the rude jests of the bleacher
birds. President Rusehaupt now fully re-
allies the import of sending child TO
MILL" as he placed Fisher, the young col
legian, IN the box for the Indians yester-
day and what the locals did to him al
most bordered upon the sinful. Even
Oyler made a nit. Coulter was the shin
ing star of the afternoon. Out OF hve
times UP the heavy hitter drew triple,
double and three singles. Abijiba Fox
warmed up to the batbund and made three
drives. Fisher Is fine pitcher-for bat
ting averages. We hope to see more or
the young man, If Manager Phillips does
not become tired Of the ascensions and
cut the guy ropes before can mingle
with him again. He comes from Wabash
college, and exploded the theory that
college eduUcation Is necessary to success
In life. Gene Ford, who is also coSe-
gian, having gone thru the University OF
Minnesota on bicycle one afternoon, was
on the rubber for Minneapolis. His treat
ment of the manged-up Indianapolis team
was inhumane. He struck out ten men,
but evened up by allowing eleven hits.
The Indianapolis team presented a
crippled lineup. Shortstop Magoon was
Iperched upon the bench for five days thru
the mandate of one j. Edouard Grillo.
This was result of Magoons performance
OF Saturday. The dropping of the cap
tain caused shift Of the team, which
resulted dsastrously. Umpire Bauswine
was cut in his glory again yesterday and
paid little heed to the cheerful nurmur-
ings Of the stand. There was plenty Of
hooting from the brothers Of the PIN
headed fraternity, but there was none OF
the throwing Of pop bottles which were a
Ndisgraceful feature of Saturdays games.
There Is little to tell Of yesterday 8
say hat
ball to the four winds whenever they
pleased. The fielding was fairly fast, al
tho the locals picked up five errors thru
iout the contest. The fanciful proceed
dngs came in the seventh inning, when
Fisher made his ascent and the locals
scored seven runs before he came back.
Saturdays events were a disgrace to
baseball fandom Of Minneapolis. The mil
1ers were playing ragged ball, and Archie
Stimmel was pitching like a vacant lot
Lacquer. He did not have a thing but the
ball in his hand Indianapolis pounded
him at will and as result the crowds in
tine stand became surly. They started to
take revenge upon Bauswine when that
official was the only man in the game who
was attending to business. Toward the
end Of the game the rowdy element, en-
couraged by the howls of the respectable
portion of the crowd, started to throw pop
bottles at the umpire when he came up
to the Minneapolis bench for a drink Of
. water. Ills COnLl1lueQ Until the emu OF
the game. When the second game started
Magoon began to interfere with Mime
spolis baserunners and, when called down
by Bauswine. became abusive. He was
fined and ordered out Of the game. He
gave an excellent exhibition of his nature
as he slouched across the diamond.
Bauswine gave him one minute to quit
the diamond, and, as he did not leave in
the allotted time the arbitrator forfeited
the game to the locals by score of to O.
This put Manager Watkins In a bad
plight, as about two hundred people had
arrived for the second game and had paid
grandstand admission. The money could
not be refunded as no checks were out
10 make this up the club owner has de-
clared that on the first day of the next
visit of Indianapolis he will pass to the
grandstand all those who will come to the
gate and say, on honor, that they did not
sec the first game Of Saturday and paid
for admission to the grandstand for the
second game. This would appear to be
about the only way out Of the difficulty,
as an attempt to refund money would
bring clustering about the box office a
host of fraudulent claims.
Following Is the score Of yesterdays
