Watkins willies took Mike Keley's clan out
70 Nicollet park yesterday afternoon and gave
them the Swedish movement, the osteopathic
treatment, and then manicured them nicely, AZ.
1t was all the fault of that Cromley boy.
When Crom. walks down the street with his
frizzled hair protruding from his rah-rah- rah
cap and wad Of gum big enough to choke a
calf slowed away in his molars the sporting
population Is wont to point the finger of mirth
at him and nudge elbows and remark "Just
wait" They did wait yesterday afternoon from
$3.50 until away past 5, and the artillery of
hits that didn't come sounded like the midnight
silence in country cemetery.
Tate is baseball gold brick and we bought
yesterday. He had everything the millers in
Guided. He had the speed of sixty horsepower
automobile and the control of railroad SEN
ator. His shoots broke like scared cat round
ing the corners of the woodshed. and he had
the millers spradling around In the box like a
beetle its back.
Mr.. Cromley very much the candy kid.
The locals were equally much blind apple
woman when it came to finding the ball.
lefty Davis was the only to do any
hitting. The sidewheeler fielder grabbed half
of the six hits The rest Of the honne-run
Haggerties spent the time in splitting language
calculated to provoke a breach of the peace
at Arbitrator Stevey Kane and in walking to
and fro from the bench to the bat and from the
bat to the bluegrass
Frosty Thomas was the sleight of hand per
former for the locals, and what Frosty got
sounded like a bunch of sunset guns at the
fort. The boosters hit anything. high low.
close in out, and when they didn't hit the
straght-over ones Stephen A. Douglass Kane
called them balls.
Stephen to Minneapolis all the
way. He gave Tatus Crowley all the corners
and made Frosty lob them the center tc
get q strike When Frosty did pass them VI
square there a boom, agitation in the
outer districts Of the park and a Watkinste
was chasing around the park circuit as fast at
his cigaret heart and crockery legs would carry
him.
The disaster started in the first inning when
after the first two out, Perry lee
off with single. G. Cleveland Carr followed
up with another off the same bolt, and Rothget
fell into for one corner. James also cot
toned to Frosty for wallop, and this. coupled
with an error by Davis. permitted two Of the
Land Of Canaan people to score.
They smeared out another run In the sixth
when Mike Kelley's brother ripped out a two
Dagger and home while the entire millel
team was chasing Crowley back and forth be
tween first and second. Michael J. should take
this unthoughtful Junior brother out behind the
clubhouse and chastise him for his misbehavior
Another hoosier scored in the ninth. when Fo.
kicked Holmes drive and two hits followed thu
booting.
The millers scored one in the first thru
single by Davis q follow up of the same brant
by Sullivan and Harris sacrifice. They scored
again in the ninth when Graham drew trans
fer, Oyler singled and Shannon sledged one GU
to the frontier.
All of this time the millers had been swing
ing and sitting down. Cromley allowed but 81!
hits and only in the first and ninth did HI
hermit more than one bingle. Minneapolis ha'
: no more show than rabid dog IN the hands o
fhe humane society. Cromley carried the ban
ner and we were front side boy the bis
bass drum
