cold weather and favorable wind
made the day a pleasant one for the
made, Coulter led in the batting, Sc
curing a home run and two singles in
three times at bat. Roberts, Warner
and Parker of the Illinois team also
made long hits, the latter for home
run. The pitchers used little speed,
and allowed the batsmen to hit the
leather, depending on the fielders to
get the men out.
The hit and run game as advocated
by Manager Watkins, probably saved
the game again for the millers. Roth
geb's fielding was very good, and Sui
livan's catch of Ensign's long fly was
feature.
Thomas pitched the first part Of the
game, and had things his own way,
except in the third inning, when a
three and a two-base hit brought in
one run. He was followed by Munich,
who. after his first inning, pitched
very clever ball. Munich has a pecu-
very close to first base. He is also i'm

every advantage of a batter's weak
ness. '.
